Nine more days: SG-1 Gen Fic Day and Teal'c Alphabet Soup

Anyone remember how Gen Fic Day got started back in October? How there was such a dearth of gen fic that I threw up my hands and openly begged people to write?

So. In tagging for [livejournal.com profile] sg1_debrief, there have been exactly three gen fics in the past week.

July 8 can't get here fast enough... :)

We've got nine days left until we celebrate Daniel's birthday with Gen Fic Day, garnished with Teal'c Alphabet Soup. Hope you're all writing! Or at least thinking about writing. ;) There are four letters still left unclaimed for Teal'c, by the way. If there are still unclaimed letters by Wednesday, I'll open the post to seconds. But we've got 22 individual authors so far, and I would be truly delighted if we could get a full complement of 26 Teal'c lovers for this! So please, spread the word to your flist: anyone who wants to write 100 gen words on Teal'c, please sign up!

My muse has gone on vacation. I'm trying to think of crackfic for birthdays. And don't even berate me on the Teal'c thing.

And...gah. Aurora is very sad.

Are you around to AIM with? I need to bounce ideas.

Trying to log back on and it's not working!

Where's Sam when you need her? :)

Must Write Fic....

Yeah, I'm at that stage, too.

Heh. I signed up for alphabet soup in part to prove to myself that I could write something that was only about 300 words. Certainly no more than 500. More than 1600 words later, I've proved to myself that I can't.

Also that my entry probably fits better in Gen Fic Day, but I'm jamming that square peg into the round hole of alphabet soup anyway.

Well, alphabet soup is part of gen fic day...your soup is just an enormous bowl of hearty stew, right?

My fic in my head is already seeming long and out of control. God knows what'll happen when I start writing it.

I'm sure it will start putting itself in order once you put fingers to keyboard.

(Would that my conflict laden post-Other Side fic would do the same.)

Seriously, you expect me to complain about longer fic?!

For Sam, we specifically said 100-200 words, and even that didn't work out to well. Now, it's just the 100 word minimum. I have absolutely no problems with a novel. ;)

I'm thinking about writing, I promise.

Thinking is a good start, yes... :)

Am no longer thinking about it. Muse kicked in at work (cause it's not like I do work at work) and have actually starter to write it.

Yay

There should be General Hammond Alphabet Soup. At some point. *firm nod*

Yes, there should. I'd switch to Hammond Soup for next week if it wasn't such insanely short notice.

Sigh. Hammond will always and forever rock.
