Another SG-1 fic I'll never get around to writing: 'Life in the Upper Pleistocene', an elderly Sam and Daniel stranded far back in prehistory, sat on a hill overlooking their village, with the sun burning off the mist of a brand new day, contemplating the evolution of apples. Inspired by this picture and article.
Also, I think this should be rebranded as tropes, rather than clichés, because it has a less negative connotation. IMO. I mean, yes, often they are clichés, but I've also seen them done well and interestingly. Or amusingly crackish. *g*
( Tropes, dammit. Tropes! )

abyssinia4077 's LeapGate prompts - reposted here as one thing, as it's effectively one story (and it's also kind of a sequel to my ficlet Inspiration, which is NC-17 and was from a prompt from oxoniensis 's Porn Battle V.) What can I say: surreallis leaves these Sam/Mac prompts around, and I can't help myself. :)---

THE END

majorsamfan: Sam/Teal'c, room 56 - 'The Queen Of The Night' (Ishtar), or something about Iraq memories for Sam and/or Jackquarryquest: room 33, Kwan Yin statues.I think, for the moment, that's enough prompts.
aurora_novarum). A nice thing to do on a Friday. Okay, my idea: I'd like to go to the British Museum more often, because it's just around the corner, plus I really ought to step away from my desk for my hour's lunchbreak, if I can. So I was thinking, to
Take a look at the museum's rooms here: Ground floor , Lower floor , Upper floor ...and pick a room number (or just choose a random number between 1 – 94). Comment with the number, and your preference of pairing or gen (bearing in mind that I've only watched half of season 1 of Atlantis, and haven't seen season 10 of SG-1). I will then go to that room, and write at least 100 words of fic based on something I see in there.
Whaddya think?
ETA: Okay, thank you! No more prompts for the moment, although I may reopen it for prompts again in the future. I'd love to have done a fic for every room in the whole museum, some day...
Okay, pencils down. Time for the results of my daft little poll (whee, Excel is fun!):
* Please pick the colour you think I would originally have had, if you picture it as now being grey / white (!!!)
** Feel free not to answer this one, but it is relevant to what I'm curious about, so I'd very much appreciate it. I've locked answers so they can only be seen by me. Again, if it's grey / white, please choose the colour it used to be. And I'm not including all subtleties of colour - please just choose the closest.
*** After I've finished my apocafic, of course. For the WIPs in question, look here and here.

I was just thinking about my fic writing habits, and started to wonder... when did I last write Sam/Jack? I had to check, and the last fics / ficlets I've written have been, from most recent and working backwards -
- Sam/Daniel
- gen
- gen
- gen
- Jack/Teal'c, Sam/Daniel, Daniel/Jonas
- Sam/Cam
- gen
- Jack/Felger (!!!)
- gen
- gen
- And, finally, Sam/Jack
I haven't written Sam/Jack since April. APRIL! And I didn't sign up for the
sjficathon, either, because of time, other ficathons I want to do (gateverse_remix and ![[community profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png){kind=small}
apocalypse_kree), and the idea that I might write, oh, something of my own choice, sometime soon (hahaha).Why am I not writing Sam/Jack? I still go on and on about it in other peoples' ljs. What's happened? Am I sick? *checks pulse, checks temperature, frets*
Must go write Sam/Jack immediately. Any requests?
edit: *squee!* On-going commment fic that is cuter than a basketful of puppies!

For the 'three things I would never, ever write' meme. Previous efforts here. Prompt from holdouttrout, who is enabling me to procrastinate on my SDficathon story: Cam and Felger getting together to play with the SG-1 action figures.
holdouttrout, who is enabling me to procrastinate on my SDficathon story: Cam and Felger getting together to play with the SG-1 action figures. Man. This went in totally a different direction than I was expecting.

I have such a shiny house now. We spring-cleaned this weekend, because we've got someone coming round tonight because of... something to do with us moving house. Perhaps I should be a little more aware of the whys and wherefores, but it's so boring. I just want to wander around the place going 'Ooh! Shiny windows! Shiny tiles! Dust-free lampshades!' *g* I swear, you could eat your dinner off the top of my kitchen cupboards.
Okay, it'd be a weird place to eat, you'd probably hit your head on the light, the food would taste slightly of kitchen cleaner, and I'd murder you if you got my lovely clean cupboards messed up... but you wouldn't die of, er, dirt poisoning.
I wonder what the estate agent / whoever's coming will make of my little Stargate action figures scene on my speakers. Sam is messing with the speaker wiring, Jack is guarding her whilst she does her skiense thing, Vala has sat down on a speaker, casually brandishing her zat, Teal'c has his zat cannon to guard everyone, and Daniel is on look-out, with his radio (because he kept dropping his gun – typical). Oh, and the Stargate is behind them all.
I'm never going to grow up, am I? (And yes, I need to get a Cam.)
p.s. I'm also still willing to take prompts here for the 'three things I'd never write' meme. Because my SDficathon story just makes me want to cry.
Gakked from triciabyrne1978: 27 questions that (allegedly) no one would ever think to ask. Mainly, it seems, because they're a bit pointless. *g*:

(Assuming, you know, that I have some idea what the fandom is, etc.)
Do your worst! :-)
Me, procrastinating on my Sam/Daniel fic? Naaaaaaaaaaaaah.
Actually, I've written 500+ words on it today, so I'm feeling productive. Although I'd feel more productive if I could work out What Happens Next. If I get it finished by this weekend, is anyone up for a quick beta? I don't think it'll be much more than 1,500 words when finished.
edit: Thanks to
abyssinia4077 for the prompts - this one bit me quickly!( Defying Gravity )

abyssinia4077 put all three of her prompts in one fic! Genius stuff (scroll down, it's in the comments). Hahaha! I love this meme.

edit4: Last one:
- Music:In my head: Defying Gravity
It's the reel that's shown at the SGC Christmas party, in order to humiliate and embarrass as many people as possible.
Oh yes.
So far, I've written the original prompt,
crazedturkeywrote fic, I wrote a follow-up, and linnet_101, niamaea, and holdouttroutwrote comment fic (scroll down - I couldn't work out how to link to each individual comment fic).I'm still trying to come up with ideas (McKay! Invisible Jack! Urgo! Teal'c doing a little Elvis dance of triumph!), and if anyone else feels like joining the fun, please feel free. It's like little writing snacks. So moreish. *g*
And I wonder who did the editing? The SGC security guys? Walter? Hammond? I'm thinking Siler, but that's 'cause I love Siler.
*steeples hands like Burns* Eeeexcellent.
edit: w00t! More comment fic! More from
crazedturkey (scroll down in this post), and sjfan (on the follow-up link, above). ---
( Read more... )
There will be further silliness as and when I think of it. This is good to do on my journey home, I've discovered.
edit: Whee! Now with comment fic from
linnet_101!edit2: And more comment fic from
niamaea! This is the best idea I've had yet - the fic is coming to me. *g*edit3: *does dance of glee at own cleverness in coming up with a way to bring the fic to me*
holdouttrout wrote me comment fic too! *hugs*edit4:
sjfan has joined in the fun, too, with some Janet fic! *glees*Oh, and it sort of fits with the fact that it's April Fool's Day this coming Sunday, too.
So here are mine, to start. If you'd like to join in, you're welcome to post it as comment fic (because that would be love), or on your own lj (please let me know so I can read it, though!). Or this could all be collected... somewhere... I dunno, I haven't thought it through that clearly.
Eesh. This is why I never volunteer to be a mod. I'm not cut out for organisation.

Pairing(s): Sam/Teal'c
Summary: Wherein Jack learns that he should knock and wait.
A/N: From a discussion in linnet_101's lj, where I said that Teal'c "once helped Sam to paint her entire body gold, after she'd finally got up the courage to ask him about his reasons for the make-up. It made her look a bit jaundiced." And moonshayde said someone should write it. And then linnet_101 was encouraging me to write drabbles for to kick off my mood of meh. So...

It's Friday, I've just joined kellifer_fic's schmoop_agecom (because I've thought of a story so schmoopy that it needs to be herded with creatures of its own kind, for camouflage), everyone on my flist seems to be writing stuff that's making me want to simultaneously laugh my socks off and hug you all, it's dark, and I'm wearing sunglasses.

Okay, last two aren't true. But the rest are. And actually it is kinda dark in here. Can't we open the blinds? I feel like I haven't seen the sun in months. *pokes mole-like colleagues*
Lalala, I'm just rabbiting. MS Word is badly educated. My vocabulary is much better than its. (Okay, and more colloquial, admittedly, but it doesn't recognise some words that aren't made up by people on lj, too.) This makes me feel smug, even if it's like proclaiming my superiority over some nerk off Big Brother.
Thank you all for your prompts recently, guys. They were most excellently inspiring. I've done four of six – the other two involve Cam, and I want to watch a few more episodes of him before I try writing him again. Study him closely. Okay, yeah, that's purely an excuse to watch teh pretty, so sue me.
Been watching Green Wing series 2 this week. Dreamed Tamsin Greig was my friend, partly because she really reminds me of a RL friend of mine. Also there were zombies, and I was in a greenhouse, choosing jewellery... eh. And Sue White is teh funny. "Do I look like a mug? Have I got a handle? Am I made of china? Am I kept in a cupboard or on a small wooden tree? Would you like to put your lips on my rim? You may answer that question, the others were rhetorical."
