Friendship ficathon, wheee! and eeeee!

[fignewton]

The sg1friendathon fics are due in two more weeks, on June 2. That gives me feelings of both wheeee! and eeeeeee!, because at 4,000 words, I'm still not quite halfway there, and hoo boy is Random going to have a lot to do on this one!

Betas are the queens of fandom. I just think that needs to be said more often.

How's your friendship ficathon story coming along? Comment here to commiserate or gloat or lend your moral support - or all three. :)

ETA: Whoops, forgot to ask: is there a Goa'uld term for the DHD, or should I just shamelessly steal Redbyrd's Skaara's term, which, IIRC, means something like "thing that goes with the chappa'ai"?

ETA2: Nope, not Redbyrd's, but Seanchaidh's, from part 3 of her Getting to Know You series:

"Well, Skaara did nickname it a raatan'ai," I admitted, "but I have no clue what the real name is..."

"Raw-what?" Jack frowned.

"What does that mean?" asked Sam, ever the curious.

"Um, 'little thing that goes with the Chaapa'ai,' actually."

Bad Fig Newton! No biscuit! I confused the two marvelous fill-in-the-blank episode rewrites that I've recced in the past: Redbyrd's Setting Up House was recced here, and Seanchaidh's Getting to Know You was recced here.

They'll get done. That's about all I can say at the moment. I agreed to pinch hit, and I love my second prompt which is going fine, but I looked back at some of my notes for my original prompt and said to myself 'gee, that looks like a familiar set of ideas,' and discovered I was using the same set of images, timing, etc. as for another unfinished fic. Oooops. So there is a certain amount of re-imagining going on Chez Lokei, but I think it will work out fine.

Power of positive thinking! *eep*

Yeah, I did something like that last year. I was all pleased with the puzzle I worked out for Sam and Daniel to do together, and then I read the delightful fic that aurora_novarum wrote for my prompt, and I remember that I'd... asked for Sam and Daniel to work out a puzzle together. :)

Glad to know it isn't just me! I had thought it was only going to be one point of view, and now it looks like it might be both Jack and Daniel--and I have gotten myself all turned around. I'm thinking standing on my head might help. *laugh*

Sam is fortunately being very cooperative by comparison.
