Semi-serious lj is boring. On to more frivolous things.

Am trying to think of prompts for the space pirate ficathon... come up with a couple so far, but they're really, really boring. Must try harder.

Oh, I was in the library on Sunday and saw a display for kids - and couldn't help it, I had to borrow one of the books. It's a Penguin Readers book, for reading level 3, whatever that is... the point being that it's a Stargate book! And it has activities! *g*

It's based on the film rather than the series. Certain things have been left out, such as O'Neil's suicidal depression over the death of his son... can't imagine why...

I just thought it was adorable - these are some of the activities:

Work with another student. Have a conversation.
- Student A: You are Daniel. Tell a friend about what you saw when you first walked through the StarGate.
- Student B: You are Daniel's friend. Ask him questions about his adventure. What did he see? How did he feel?

Do you think there are people or living things on other worlds? Why/why not? Talk to another student.

Do you think Daniel is right to stay behind at the end of the story? Do you think he and Sha'uri will have a happy life? Why/why not?

Write a short description of three of these people:
Daniel / O'Neil / Ra / Sha'uri / Anubis

After Ra dies, Daniel decides to stay with Sha'uri in her world, Write a description of his first week, after the others have gone back to Earth.

It is a year later. You are Daniel and you are still living in Sha'uri's world. Write a message to Catherine Langford on Earth. Write about your life and how you feel.

If only I knew a kid I could inflict this on...

Pirate fic sort of reposted thing...

(Okay, so these are just lj links, but I've been futzing with things, and... aw, anyhow, this is my way of making sure it's on the front page.)
