We'll be celebrating SG-1 Gen Fic Day on May 26th, complete with Episode Alphabet Soup!
For this 17th Soup, we will be writing episode-based fics. These can include missing scenes, episode tags, or alternate perspectives. You may stretch the definition of "episode related" as you'd like. For example, how did the Tok'ra react to the events of Stargate: the Movie, or what was Qetesh doing during COTG? Remember, though, that you cannot interfere with canon events; work within them instead.
This is how it works: the letters of the alphabet and the episodes of SG-1 are available on a first come, first served basis. Comment at the LJ entry and claim a letter and episode - one letter and episode per author only. I'll strike them out as they're claimed, but as long as you made your request first, the letter and episode is yours. If someone else has already claimed an episode that you'd planned to write, please choose another - there are well over 200, after all! You are welcome to use the first letter of the episode title as your claimed letter, but there is no obligation to do so. By making a claim, you are committing yourself to writing at least 100 words of gen fic by May 26th.
On May 26th, comment with your fic at the SG-1 Gen Fic Day post, using the title as the subject of your comment (C is for Changeling, T is for 200, K is for Kree, J is for Jonas, or whatever). Send me a copy by e-mail as well. 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 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 an episode from SG-1 (including the movies); the fic must be canon compliant, although you may "fix" canon within the episode framework; 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, Jack/Sara or Daniel/Sha're for a Stargate: the Movie fic, or Teal'c/Drey'auc for Family. 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.) Signal boosts are always appreciated! And if you're a newcomer signing up, make sure to mention it so I can welcome you properly. With well somewhere around 120 different authors over the years, I tend to lose track. :)
To avoid accidental multiple claims, signups are taking place on LJ. If that's a problem for you for any reason, please comment here and let me know.
