It's hard to believe that we're up to our TWENTIETH Alphabet Soup! We've had upwards of 130 different contributors over the years (I lost track long ago) and we've covered a great variety of subjects. Go us! :D
This time, our theme is a fan favorite: off-world. Your story may include any character and any era (pre-series, post-series, early season, late season, whatever), as long as it's gen, related to SG-1, and takes place off-world.
This is how it works: the letters of the alphabet are available on a first come, first served basis. Comment at the LJ entry to 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. By making a claim, you are committing yourself to writing at least 100 words of off-world fic by July 28th. If you're interested in writing a second story, backups are always welcome (and often needed), but you can't claim a specific letter for that.
On July 28th, comment with a link to your fic in the SG-1 Gen Fic Day post, using the title as the subject of your comment (S is for Sandstorm, L is for Local Customs, M is for MREs, or whatever). Send me a copy by e-mail as well, as soon as it's ready. When all the letters have been submitted, a master post for the anthology will be posted. We'll be discussing this in greater detail in July, as there are a few changes ahead.
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 take place off-world; 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. :) You may write about any character, including original ones, that fit these criteria. You may mention canon ships - for example, Teal'c/Drey'auc or Daniel/Sha're - 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 so many different authors over the years, I tend to lose track...
To avoid accidental multiple claims of the same letter, signups are only on LJ. Please go here to sign up. If that's a problem for you, let me know.
