Alphabet Soup, Daniel-style: claims post

[fignewton]

As I mentioned in the SG-1 Gen Fic Day announcement post, I'm running a second Alphabet Soup challenge, this time on Daniel. This is where you can claim a letter.

(If you don't know what I'm talking about, the wildly successful Defining Sam from A to Z was written for abyssinia4077 and is definitely worth a good look!)

Struck-out letters have already been claimed, but everything else is fair game. For now, you may claim one letter only. The keywords included are only suggestions; if you choose a letter, you get to choose the keyword! Don't forget that is in honor of Gen Fic Day, so no shipping, please.

Ficlets are due on Gen Fic Day, April 2nd, which is a week from this Wednesday. There will be a general Gen Fic Day post, where you can either paste your ficlet into the comments or link to it on your own LJ. Your story must be at least 100 words long, but I'm not going to try to impose a maximum word count this time - it didn't exactly work very well last time, anyway. :) All the ficlets will be gathered together and posted as one long Alphabet Soup on April 3rd. Please do not claim a letter if you don't think you can get it done by next Wednesday.

The idea is to celebrate gen fic, the fandom, and Daniel Jackson - all good things. :) So have fun!

Claim a letter from the list below:

A: Abydos
B: bravery, brush, Budge
C: Catherine Langford, cartouche, constellations, chicken
D: death
E: explorer, Egypt
F: Furlings, friendship
G: glyphs, Goa'uld, glasses
H: hieroglyphics, harceisis, history, Heliopolis
I: intellect, idealism, inscription
J: Jack, Jonas Quinn
K: Kelowna, kill, Kheb
L: losses, language
M: Mitchell, Melburn, memory, Morgan Le Fay, Merlin, military
N: Nick
O: Oma, Ori, outside the box
P: Pegasus Galaxy, parents, peers, pyramids
Q: quest. quod erat demonstrandum, Quetzalcoatl, quantum
R: Replicators, radiation, runes, riposte, repartee
S: Stargate, Shifu, Sha're/Sha'uri, Sam
T: Teal'c, team, temper
U: Unas, universal communication
V: Vala
W: watch your back, weights
X: X-treme, xerophilous, xenophile
Y: Yu, yadda, yabber
Z: zatted, zugzwang, zodiac, ziggurat

P, please. Probably for 'Power'.

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Oooh, great choice! No need to tell me your keyword, though. You're welcome to change it if you'd like (as long as you stick to P).

I'll take a stab at it.

You've got it!

Since I actually wrote something the last time, I would like to try this again. The only problem is I can't decide between the letter L and the letter S. :) *deep breath* May I have S please??

Thank you!

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Daniel inspiring the muse is always a good thing. :) S is all yours.

[randomfreshink.livejournal.com]

T please :)

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

::hands over T::

[aurora-novarum.livejournal.com]

*shaky fist*

I know I told you this was a cool idea to continue but right now?! I've got another birthday fic due on the second and and and real life and and and I'm trying to think of prompts for the friendathon and and and...

GAH!!!! *flails*

I'm going to try anyway. With the letter V please. :-D

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

You've got V! :)

[sg-wonderland.livejournal.com]

...waves hand uncertainly...may I take a stab at the letter L?

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Yep, L is all yours.

[lokei.livejournal.com]

*waves* I'll take H, if I may?

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Most certainly!

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

I'll take 'N.'

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

::nods:: It's yours!

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

Can I take F for Friendship please? I might finally get done my Teal'c and Daniel friendship piece... :D

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Squee! Oh, you know the way to my heart, don't you? :) You've got F with bells on!

[lokei.livejournal.com]

Have done my "H" and would like to claim "J" if I may.

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Great! J is all yours. :)

[sg-wonderland.livejournal.com]

Since I already have my first one done, I'll take a stab at G, please.

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Wonderful! You've got G. :)

[tejas.livejournal.com]

I'll take "I", as well.

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Fantastic! :)

[shutthef-up.livejournal.com]

I've finished D, so I'll grab U, if U don't mind (heh, I'm *so* clever!)

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

U are most welcome to it! ;)

[tejas.livejournal.com]

Q is taken! I'm also about to post it for 'me only' on my LJ. :-)

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Marvelous! And Gen Fic Day is officially open now. :)

[moonshayde.livejournal.com]

I want to claim a letter, but does the ficlet have to have all the words in the story that are by the letter? Just one? Something else? I'm confused.

I have a little idea I can finish by today so I wanna play!

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

No, not at all.

You claim a letter and then write a ficlet based around a single keyword that starts with that letter. The list here is only for suggestions and inspiration. You're welcome to use whatever keyword you like, whether it's one of the suggested list or a keyword of your own.

Hope that clears it up, and you come and play!

[moonshayde.livejournal.com]

O for oddity please :)

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Yay! You've got O. :)

[randomfreshink.livejournal.com]

I got my "T" done -- can I also grab K and Z -- either, or even just one?

Thanks!

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Oh, wonderful! Take one or the other or both - just let me know which.

[kalquessa.livejournal.com]

So...should we just post the ficlets here when we're done, like the last time?

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Post your ficlet over at the Gen Fic Day post. Tomorrow, I'll organize everything into one big Alphabet Soup. :) Non-soup fics, recs, etc. will get a post of their own.

[aurora-novarum.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm taking Y for Yu...and as soon as I get a beta, I'll post it too. :-D

(It may even fit in one comment!)

[sg-wonderland.livejournal.com]

Ok, so there's a little time left, I will see what I can do with R.

[moonshayde.livejournal.com]

Posted the link for O on your other post. Sorta came out longer than a ficlet and that's why it was late. oh well!
