SGA Secret Santa 2011
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
::ahem:: Sorry, wrong fandom.
Anyway, I was sitting here thinking to myself about life, the universe and everything* and I thought Self, you're getting restless. Life doesn't have as much meaning any more and you're suffering from a terrible case of ennui. So, off I trotted to Google (only metaphorically, of course, since I was sitting at the computer and there was no actual trotting involved at all) and googled "cure for terrible case of ennui." We'll ignore the first option, since I'm pretty sure it's immoral, illegal and physically impossible. Also, it would be a 'mare to source a llama at this time of night.
But the second option? Well, apparently, the best sure for a terrible case of ennui is to use a picture of a small grey naked alien wearing a festive hat in some way.
Well, Self, I thought, you just happen to have one of those to hand. Of course, I couldn't just randomly post a picture of a small grey naked alien wearing a festive hat for no reason. That would just be daft. Which meant, I had to have a reason. So, I continued to think. Self, I thought again, what possible reason could you have that would necessitate the use of a picture a small grey naked alien wearing a festive hat?
And then it came to me.
Which is a tl;dr way of saying SGA Secret Santa 2011 is open for business *\o/*
Bring us your gen, your het, your slash.
Bring us your OTPs, your threesomes, your forgies, your puppypiles in the middle of the gateroom.
Bring us John and Teyla and Rodney and Ronon.
Bring us Wraith and Asurans and Asgard and Genii.
Bring us John, in love with his entire team and realising the only choice he has to make is what flavour lube to use. Bring us Richard and Jennifer, neither realising what the other is thinking until they both reach out. Bring us Sam, who never understood what an awesomely porntastic place Atlantis was until she got there and realised that the Friday Night Free-For-All wasn't a pot luck dinner.
Bring us the stories that long to be told, the ones that rest on the lips of Evan, of Teyla, of Richard.
Bring us your requests, bring us enough fic to see us all the way through the festive season and out the other side.
The relevant dates:
Sign-ups are between now and Sunday October 9th. All the requests will then be jumbled up and sent back out by October 16th (gives us time to match everyone up).
Responses to gift requests are to be sent to one of the moderators (moonlettuce or alyse) on or before December 10th.
Between December 14th and December 23rd all gift!fics will be posted for your delight and delectation.

E-mail:
Things I'd like: You can request as many things as you'd like in here. That doesn't mean you'll get them all, but there's no harm in asking. If you'd like a specific pairing, or character, then speak now or forever hold thy peace :-)
Things I wouldn't like: If there's anything you wouldn't like to receive (pairing, character, etc) then here's the place to mention it.
What I can do: Are you a slash only person? Do you only write a specific character or pairing?
What I can't do: If there's anything you feel you can't do, then please say so here. If you can't write NC-17 fic, or have no desire to write het / slash, or a specific pairing or character then please say so.
Pinch hitter?: In the event of someone not being able to complete their gift!fic, are you willing to be stand-in writer?
Please post your request as a new post in the community.
For those people without LJs, the non-LJ sign-up post is here: http://sga-santa.livejournal.com/327312.html
All stories should be a minimum of 1,000 words in length and everyone who signs up to receive a story will be expected to write one in return.
Please note, if you do not get a story to us in time we will organise a pinch hitter so that your recipient isn't left without a fic at the end of the fest. If we do this, do not whine at us, because all we will do is mock.
Other information can be found here. Any questions, just ask.
