12 Days Of Teyla Love-A-Thon - we're good to go!

[tielan]

Welcome to the Twelve Days of Teyla Love-A-Thon
featuring Teyla-centric fanwork posted every day for the next twelve!



We've got people scheduled to produce work for each day, but if you want to randomly join in, everything from Teyla-centric recs to meta about Teyla as a character is welcome.

Please post the actual work in this community, tagging it with the '12days 2008' tag, then putting a link in your personal journal that leads to this community. Part of the reason for this is to bring people to this community who might not otherwise come, giving them an opportunity to look at work by other Teyla-fans. On the 13th January, you're more than welcome to post your work in your own personal journal (or anywhere you please).

If you don't have posting access to this community (ie. you're not a member of teylafen), then leave a link and I'll post it to the community. But if you're a fan of Teyla, there's no reason for you not to join teylafen - the more Teyla-fans we have around the merrier!

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)

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.

    - fortune, lucky, laughter.

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.

For posting, put '12 Days Of Teyla' in the subject line of your post, an indication of what type of media it is (fic, vid, art, meta, etc.), and the title of your work. That'll help me ID what's being produced for the Love-A-Thon!

We're involved in this because we love Teyla and would like to see more work about her! So let's go to it!
