Jacob Alphabet Soup claims post
Time for our Jacob Alphabet Soup, which we'll be celebrating next month on SG-1 Gen Fic Day. Here's where you claim a letter!
(Don't know what I'm talking about? Look here.)
This is how it works: the letters of the alphabet are available on a first come, first served basis. Comment here and claim a letter - one letter per author only. I'll strike them out as they're claimed, but as long as you made your request first, the letter is yours. By making a claim, you are committing yourself to writing at least 100 words on Jacob Carter by August 24th. (That date is more tentative than definite.)
On that day, comment with your fic in the SG-1 Gen Fic Day post, using the title as the subject of your comment (A is for Astronaut, C is for Cookies, O is for Oldest). On August 24th, I'll collate all the ficlets in alphabetical order and post them together as a complete anthology.
(For more detailed instructions of the posting process, click here.)
There are only four rules: your fic must be at least 100 words, although there is no maximum limit; it must be about Jacob Carter, and preferably a defining aspect of our favorite crusty pessimist; it should not contradict canon, because we want to define the Jacob we know and love from the show; and it should be gen. This is part of SG-1 Gen Fic Day, after all. :) This doesn't mean that references to Jacob's wife are verboten; an author is welcome to mention, or even focus, upon his former marriage. References to Selmac's memories of former hosts' relationships would also be fine. But no romance, please, and no AUs or alternate timelines. If in doubt, feel free to ask.
The keywords are suggestions only. If you're inspired to use one of the keywords for your fic, that's great! If a different idea strikes you, that's great, too. You do not have to use any of the keywords I've offered here, you do not have to get my approval for your keyword, and you certainly do not have to use multiple keywords.
Spread the word to your own flists, please! We want our favorite Tok'ra to get lots of love. :)
ETA: all letters have now been claimed, BUT! Any and all gen fic is welcome for SG-1 Gen Fic Day, whether it's about Jacob or Selmac or the Tok'ra or any other aspect of SG-1. See you all on the 24th!
