Announcing: SG-1 Gen Fic Day!

[fignewton]

It's four weeks to Daniel Jackson's birthday. Because I am insatiably greedy for SG-1 gen fic, I have arbitrarily decided to celebrate by declaring July 8 to be SG-1 Gen Fic Day!

Just because there were over twenty awesome gen fics posted last week at the sg1friendathon doesn't mean I can't want more. No, it doesn't. So there.

If you're new to SG-1 Gen Fic Day, the premise is simple: it's a day to celebrate gen fic for SG-1. A post goes up on the day itself, and any member of the fandom is welcome to comment with gen fic.  Any length, any topic, new fic or WIP or rec or commentfic or old story, even pictures with (gen) captions: as long as it's SG-1 and gen, it qualifies! Paste it into the comment or link to your own LJ or web page. On the day after, I'll post an organized round-up of all fics, recs, and miscellany.

To get a clearer idea, you can check out previous SG-1 Gen Fic Days, which were held in October, January, and April.

Besides the SG-1 Gen Fic Day's open post for anything gen, we'll also celebrate with another serving of Alphabet Soup!

New to that, too? Alphabet Soup is an accidental series that started as a Sam birthday tribute to Abyssis and then continued with Daniel. This time, we'll commemorate Daniel's birthday (and Gen Fic Day) by serving up Teal'c-flavored Alphabet Soup. Because Teal'c and Daniel's friendship defies all sense and reason, and they have the most amazing closeness anyway.

Yes, we'll get to Jack, too. And yes, I want to do Teal'c Alphabet Soup first.

I'll be putting up a claims post for Teal'c Alphabet Soup shortly, with more detailed explanations. In the meantime, though... Gen Fic Day! Wheeeee!

ETA: The claims post for Teal'c Alphabet Soup went up last night. Sixteen letters have already been claimed! If you want to participate, head over to the claims post and take a look at what's left.

Wheee, more SG-1 Gen Fic Day! Don't know if I'll be able to contribute to Alphabet Soup this time, depends on when your claims post goes up. *wry grin* I'm leaving on a jet plane....[/john denver] tomorrrow at 3am.

I will write gen fic, though. (Just try and stop me! *wink*)

Will now do for you? :)

And hey, you can write Teal'c soup and other gen fic! I've committed myself to writing your ficlet (now turned fic) for Gen Fic Day. It has moved from being mostly about Daniel threatening to shove a rook up Jack's nose to something more teamish, but I don't think you'll mind too much... ;)

Now is good. Then was probably better, but I was packing. *grin*

Ficlet turned fic is a very fine thing. *contemplates Daniel shoving a rock up Jack's nose* Teamy goodness is also excellent, and better for Jack's health in the long run. *giggle*

I have *counts* not enough fingers for the number of projects currently pending, but I have vacation! and time! and notes! (and hopefully, willpower!) At least three of the pending things are gen team goodness, so that's encouraging. *grin*

Sadly, Jack's health will not be improved by the change in venue. My first ever Jack whumping! Amazing, where you can find yourself going... :)

Gen teamy goodness, whee!

[lokei.livejournal.com]

I eagerly await Gen Fic day, in that case! *grin*

Oh! Teal'c fic is goooooood.

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Yes! I'm hoping the advance notice helps us get some really great fic! :)

I've been having gen thinky thoughts lately so I may have to participate... ;D

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Yes! Teal'c alphabet soup, separate ficlet - anything goes, and anything's good. :)

[flingslass.livejournal.com]

Do you think I can finish this before then :D

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Well, it is almost four weeks. Hope you'll make it! But even if you don't, WIPs are good, too. :)

[flingslass.livejournal.com]

Yeah but I started at the end :D

Ah, a reason to finally get the story simmering in the back of my brain down onto the page!

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

New Random fic, yay! :)
