July Unwritten Fic Meme - Call for prompts
Prompts Closed (Still some available on Dreamwidth.)
Okay, so I've been in a bit of a slump. I've been hip deep in original work (yay rent!) but lately it's been like pulling teeth to get any words out. taylorgibbs talked me into (okay, I was thinking about it after reading her latest, but she urged me to go ahead) trying this as a way to prime the pump. So, here goes.
Tell me a story I haven’t written, and I will give you a comment!fic about it. Might be a few sentences, might be a couple of comments. If it grabs me by the throat and won't let go, I might end up doing more, who knows. :-)
Five prompts only (that's five on Livejournal and five more on Dreamwidth), one per poster. Please track the post for updates.
I will TRY to fill them all by 7/31/12 (I know me, so I included the year LOL). Please note the following, though...
1. I reserve the right to reject any prompt. I won't just willy-nilly toss one because it's hard. But if you give me one that I know I simply can't keep short enough, or would interfere with plans I already have for a fic (as in Worthy-verse stuff) or that I simply can't do at all, I'll get with you and let you give me a new prompt.
2. SG1 and NCIS only, please. Those are the only two fandoms I write in. Crossovers between them are fine, though. Talk about two universes that are made for each other. :-) Just keep in mind the timelines. I'm willing to fudge a touch in terms of canon time frames, but not to the point of S1 SG1 happening at the same time as S1 NCIS (well, unless you can give me a compelling enough reason and then that AU would probably be bigger than a comment!fic LOL).
3. No Ziva prompts. It can be set during the years she's with the team, but really, she'll have to be in the background, I just can't write her at all and I have no desire to shred any characters in this.
4. I have issues with most of the latter seasons of Sam Carter, too. S7 Carter's about the latest I can relate to her. Can't relate to Vala at all.
5. No character bashing prompts. As much as I would love to kill off a few here and there, I need this to be a more positive exercise.
6. No death fic, partner betrayal, characters regressed in age or preg/mpreg (I currently have a grievance with my reproductive system - it doesn't get a vote until it behaves better LOL). Also, no suicidal behavior, substance abuse (a situational bender is fine, but no alcoholism) or self-harm.
7. Gen, Jack/Daniel or Tony/Gibbs only, folks. (C'mon, this is *me*!)
1. taylorgibbs Prompt SG1/NCIS gen Old Friends
1996, This would put Jack pre-series, right? Gibbs is working with Franks. He knows Jack is depressed and having lost a kid, he gets it on a level that nobody else does. Fishing trip, camping trip, whatever.
If for some reason that doesn't work.
Tony's POV his first day as an NCIS agent.
2. aelfgyfu_mead SG-1, gen or slash (but can I ask for no porn, please?): Sam and Teal'c are busy dealing with what appear to be leftover Goa'uld weapons parts, so when Daniel needs some help with a dig to determine what has happened on this planet, Jack must assist him in noting locations, cataloguing items, and digging and brushing with great care.
Humor, angst-whatever you want.
3. hawk_soaring NCIS, please. Gibbs and DiNozzo's first meeting -- but it was Gibbs who arrested Tony!
4. kaleecat During that summer while Gibbs was on margarita safari, Tony was handling a recalcitrant team & an NCIS director that wants him to go undercover. What if Tony actually questioned deeper the legitimacy of the op? And how would Jenny react?
OR
The SGC Annual Dead False Gods Party: celebrating the year's highlights in SG team hijinks, pratfalls, misadventures & big damn heroic moments. Daniel and Teal'c are the latest victims...cough...organizers for the irreverent & occasionally solemn occasion. Guest of Honor is as always General George Hammond, chief wrangler and long-suffering-fearless-leader of the madness.
(that sounded funnier in my head-oh well. feel free to skip either)
5. djmichealsfics NCIS G/D - Gibbs' house is damaged by a neighbor's fire so he stays with Tony.
