State of the Soup

[fignewton]

Soup cooks, how are you all doing? Simmering nicely, slightly burnt, still trying to get the fire started?

Several delicious servings are already available, as you can see from scanning the comments of the official Off Screen Missions Alphabet Soup entry. However, as of this writing, only half the alphabet has been claimed.

I will already be extending the deadline by another week; it was originally August 1st, but RL circumstances mean that I will have no internet access at all in the week leading up to that. So now, Soup fics aren't due until August 8th.

The Alphabet Soup series has been a joy to arrange and a delight to read. I would hate to have to stop these ficathons, but there are limits. I assumed that the challenge of finishing the Quantum Mirror Alphabet Soup was an outlier, not a trend. If it's just as difficult to finish this one, then, well...

So. If you haven't yet claimed a letter, I hope you'll consider one of the many, many prompts available. Please signal boost on your own journal, too. Let's try to get the word out and keep these Soups cooking.

Here's where you sign up

Here's where you post about your finished fic

Happy Souping!

Uhmmm ... the burner seems to be on the fritz? Thanks for the extended deadline, because, oh dear, I haven't as yet found the right ingredients for my soup. I will get cracking on it soon!

Perhaps you should browse the markets on Chulak for some interesting ideas... ;)

Simmering! Still chopping the last of the ingredients, though.

Long simmering is the key to good flavor!

Thanks, I’ve not got inspiration yet. Will rewatch the episode and try to get going

[fignewton]

Good luck! And any reason to watch an ep of SG-1 is a good thing. :D

Too much pain/tiredness to sign up for anything right now...

[fignewton]

Hope you're feeling better.

Unlikely I’ll be finished by August 8th cos my muse has walked out! But I’ll keep trying, sorry

[fignewton]

Hope your muse comes wandering back, with some good stories in hand. :)

If you see by, say, the 6th that you really can't do it, please drop me another comment so I can put your prompt and letter back in the pool.
