Twelve Days Of Christmas!

[tielan]

Welcome to the Twelve Days of Christmas for Teyla fans, featuring Teyla-centric fanwork posted every day from the 1st Jan to the 12th Jan!

It's a Teyla love-fest, with as much fic, art, graphics, vids, and meta about a Teyla in a twelve day period as is fannonically possible.

So far, there are at least twenty-four people who'll be producing fanworks about Teyla during the period (although more are always welcome), and during the twelve days, people are welcome to post new Teyla-centric fanworks on any of the days.

Fanworks can be fic, art, banners, icons, vid, meta...anything you can conceive that's centered on Teyla. Any fics should be at least 500 words, and if you're posting icons, a batch of 5 would be the minimum.

Prompt List
These are guidelines, not rules; something to get the brain juices flowing. You can pick any topic and post on any day of the twelve (or beyond) that you please!

1. "The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand," (Frank Herbert)
   - exchange, bargaining, sacrifice.


2. "We are made to persist. That's how we find out who we are," (Tobias Wolff)
   - stubborn, determined, inventive.


3. "Do not judge men by mere appearances; for the light laughter that bubbles on the lip often mantles over the depths of sadness, and the serious look may be the sober veil that covers a divine peace and joy," (Edward Chapin)
   - parallels, similarities, differences.


4. "Humor is everywhere, in that there's irony in just about anything a human does," (Bill Nye)
   - eating, longing, hunger.


5. "There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness," (Friedrich Nietzsche)
   - strength, beauty, pride.


6. "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." (Shakespeare)
   - personal, meditation, growth.

   - balance, measure, justice.


8. "The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong," (Gandhi)
   - ingenuity, cleverness, a different way of looking at things.


9. "Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared," (Eddie Rickenbacker)
   - fighting, war, negotiation.


10. "Our mortal journey is over all too soon," (David Assael)
    - rituals, endings, death.

12. "I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it," (Thomas Jefferson)
    - fortune, lucky, laughter.

Again, I'd appreciate it if people - particularly 'casual' Teyla fans reading this - would promote this out to their f-lists. There are plenty of Teyla fans in circles outside my f-list, and it would be wonderful to have them participate, too.
