welcome all to the second
femslash_today ficathon.
story master list it works like this. you sign up with three requests (that follow the guidelines perfectly). once the sign up period is over, I give your requests to another participant. it is their job to write a 800 word story for one of your requests. in return, you fulfill someone else's request.
sound good? then let's get going.
Group A
Babylon 5
Star Trek Voyager
Star Trek TNG
Battlestar Galactica (new series)
Firefly
Stargate SG-1
Stargate Atlantis
Star Wars
Group B
Star Trek DS9
Enterprise
Andromeda
Farscape
Dr Who
Blake's 7
to sign up, comment to this post with 3 requests, covering at least 3 fandoms. make sure at least one of those fandoms is from Group A.
use this request form:
username: (the username of the journal you plan to post your story in.)
email: (your email address.)
request one: (list the fandom here.)
pairing: (list more than one, if you'd like.)
NC17: (do you want sex in your story? if yes, know that it's up to the author if they want to write it.)
squicks: (what do you not want in your story?)
prompt: (an idea, place in canon, quote, etc to help your author along. they can ignore this if they want.)
request two:
(repeat as above)
request three: (if you want to request a crossover, do it here.)
(repeat as above)
group A fandoms you can write, in order of preference: (at least two fandoms you can write.)
group B fandoms you can write, in order of preference: (it's okay if you can't write any from this section, as long as you can write at least two group A fandoms.)
NC17: (can you write sex?)
pinch hit: (can I call on you to write a back up story if someone drops out?)
which fandoms: (if so, in what fandoms?)
as an example, my request looks like:
username:
thenewhopeemail: thenewhope@livejournal.com
request one: Babylon 5
pairing: Susan/Talia
NC17: eh, maybe? no first times, please.
squicks: pwp. bdsm.
prompt: what I'd really love is something involving the planted personality, either before or after "Divided Loyalties." otherwise, a nice slice of life while they're falling for each other on station would be great. nothing overly sappy or fluffy.
request two: Stargate Atlantis
pairing: Teyla/Sora or Teyla/Weir
NC17: if you want, sure
squicks: pwp. bdsm. McShep that's more than an offhand joke.
prompt: Teyla/Sora can be set preseries, and be sweet and young and naive, or in canon and be about the divided loyalties of friendship and duty. Teyla/Weir can be set whenever and be about basically whatever you want, just so long as it pays attention to both women's duties, strengths and weaknesses.
request three: Andromeda
pairing: Beka/Trance, Beka/Doyle or a Beka/f crossover with any scifi chick you think she works with.
NC17: mmm, sure.
squicks: pwp. bdsm. fluff.
prompt: if you go with Beka/Trance, I'd like it to be with golden!Trance and to include the humor and friendship they've always had, but also the slight edges of distrust and distance that appear post "Ouroboros." Beka/Doyle should be snarky and filled with all the every-man-for-himselfness of the last season (though feel free to ignore the retarded frak-up that was that season's arc). feel free to go whereever you want with the crossover, though my favorite parts of Beka are her ruthless space pirate skills, her grudging loyalty to those she loves and her hot ass body. :D
group A fandoms you can write, in order of preference: BSG, B5, Firefly, SG-1.
group B fandoms you can write, in order of preference: Andromeda.
NC17: sure
pinch hit: maybe
which fandoms: BSG, Andromeda.
