Ficathon updates, and new membership in DWA!

My sg1teamficathon entry is finally, finally sent off to my marvelous beta. Currently just shy of 8,000 words, although I suspect that by the time Random finishes pointing out a myriad of problems, it’s going to be a whole lot shorter.

 

No time to breathe easy, though, because I also signed up for the sg_ep_ficathon, and that actually goes live at the end of this week. I’m about 1,000 words or so into that one, and I hope to be finished before the November 16^th deadline.

 

Except that… um. Well. ::shuffles feet::

 

I resisted through five SG-1 stories. I’ve embarrassed Daniel. I’ve given him lots of angst. I’ve given him ethical dilemmas. I saddled him with a hangover. He even gets searched very pointedly in my sg1teamficathon story (if this inspired it, my subconscious didn’t tell me!). But aside from the odd scrape or two, I never actually hurt Daniel.

 

…Until now, with story number six.

 

::sighs::

 

So, where do I sign up for Daniel Whumpers Anonymous? Because I’m not sure if it makes things better or worse that I not only whumped him, but I made it a plot point.

 

What is it about Daniel that makes whumping him so irresistable? I’m not talking about cuddling Saint Daniel while he stifles his whimpers of pain, or the team holding his hands in shifts in the infirmary while he valiantly fights for his life, or even the shippy kind of whumping, which is aimed more for the shippy comfort afterwards. Asking as a gen girl who loves a tough, capable Daniel, why is it so much fun to whump him?

 

It can’t just be the pretty. Or the hair.

 

C’mon, people. Try and handwave this one. :)

(And my apologies if you've commented in the last week or so and I didn't get back to you. My notifications have been a bit spotty, and these last days have been insane.)

ETA: And now with added inspired fic! Untitled Whumping Humor, by 6beforelunch. Because SG-1 knows they're insane. :)

Um. Because it's fun?

Hee! Quite possibly, yes. :)
