It's time to start preparing the ingredients for our twelfth Alphabet Soup!
It all started back in March 2008, when we Defined Sam from A to Z in honor of![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
abyssinia4077's birthday. Since then, we're served ten more Alphabet Soups with over one hundred different chefs, in a variety of flavors: Sam, Daniel, Teal'c, George, Jack, Janet, Jacob, Vala, Jonas, Team, and Crossover. Now, for our twelfth rendition, we'll be making Cam Alphabet Soup in honor of the last SG-1 member to be featured, for January 30th and the celebration of SG-1 Gen Fic Day. Here's your chance to claim a letter.
This is how it works: the letters of the alphabet are available on a first come, first served basis. Comment at the LJ post 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. 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. By making a claim, you are committing yourself to writing at least 100 words of Cam fic by January 30th.
On that day, comment with your fic in the SG-1 Gen Fic Day post (either here or at LJ, or even both), using the title as the subject of your comment (P is for Pants, F is for Flyboy, G is for Grandma). When all the letters have been submitted, I'll collate all the ficlets in alphabetical order and post them together as a complete anthology. The anthology on LJ is usually abridged due to posting constraints, with links to the remaining stories at the authors' individual journals; the DW version is happily complete and unabridged.
For more detailed instructions of the posting process, click here. Even if you've cooked Soup before, please double-check that there haven't been minor changes in the instructions since the last time you participated.
There are only four rules: your fic must be at least 100 words, although there is no maximum limit; it must be about Cameron Mitchell; the fic must be canon compliant, although it does not have to reference canon specifically and may be set in pre-series or future eras; and it should be gen. This is part of SG-1 Gen Fic Day, after all. :)
An author is welcome to mention canon relationships - for example, a fic that features Cam's pre-series relationship with Amy Vanderbilt, or in which Teal'c introduces Cam to Ishta, would be fine. :) But no romance, please, and no AUs or alternate timelines. If in doubt, feel free to ask.
Please spread the word - I'm always delighted to have new authors join us (just as I'm ecstatic when loyal regulars join us for yet another round.) And if you're a newcomer signing up, make sure to mention it so I can welcome you properly. :)
Hope to see you signing up!
