Janet Alphabet Soup call for prompts!

So, a year ago tomorrow, twenty of us got together and wrote one long birthday note of love to [livejournal.com profile] abyssinia4077: Defining Sam from A to Z. (While we're at it, since I won't be online tomorrow: Happy birthday, Abyssis!) The enthusiastic response inspired the creation of an entire series: Alphabet Soup, most often joined with SG-1 Gen Fic Day. To date, we've done five of these, one for each member of classic SG-1 and one for George Hammond.

This time, it's Janet's turn!

Timing is going to be a little difficult to work out, as there are many active ficathons at the moment. I am currently aiming for Janet Alphabet Soup and Gen Fic Day to take place some time in mid-May. In the meantime, though, I am issuing a call for prompts. You won't commit yourself to anything if you contribute keywords here; they're just to help inspire others when the sign-up post eventually gets posted.

[livejournal.com profile] cleothemuse e-mailed me, as a gentle subtle hint, some suggested keywords of her own. :) I've included those below the cut to give you an idea of what sort of prompts we're looking for. Feel free to comment with as many suggestions as you'd like! If you want to add more, please make a new comment instead of editing your original.



A - AED, Air Force
B - Band-Aid, bandage
C - Cassie, Carter, captain, centrifuge, critical, coma
D - Daniel, diagnosis, doctor, Dominic
E - ex-husband, emergency, examination
F - field medicine, Fraiser
G - George, gurney, Goa'uld
H - Hathor, Hammond, Heroes, Hanka, healer, heels
I - infirmary, IV
J - Jack, Jackson, Jonas, Junior
K - keepsakes, Kelowna(ns)
L - lifesaver, life support, lungs
M - major, MRI, Ma'chello
N - Napoleon, needle, Nirrti
O - O'Neill, operation
P - penlight, pathology, patients, patience, physicals
Q - queen (of the infirmary), quiet, Quinn
R - radiation, Ripple Effect
S - Sam, short, syringe, Simon Wells, surgery, symbiote
T - Teal'c, tumor
U - ultrasound, ultimatum
V - veins, vitals
W - Wells, Warner, wellness
X - x-rays, xenopathology
Y - youth, yen/yearning, Yes Ma'am!
Z - zoo, zingers

*jumps up and down with squee* I love me a good alphabet soup!

[identity profile] gategremlyn.livejournal.com 2009-03-19 12:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! Another soup! Woohoo! Must go ponder some prompts.

Oh yeah!! I love Janet, and as usual, will be stalking you until you finally post the sign-up entry. :)

How about medic, birthday cake (Cassie's), mother (or mother of a teenager), daughter, adoption, nurses, death, friend

These are just suggestions. If I think of more, I'll let you know.

All great keywords!

The sign-up post will probably be some time in April, so it's probably best not to hold your breath in the meantime. ;) I just couldn't let the Alphabet Soup anniversary pass unnoticed!

The sign-up post will probably be some time in April

Which is good because I have few ficathon stories that are piling up in my personal writing queue. Janet will be a welcome additon though! :D

Heh, yes. That's why I'm pushing it off that long myself. [livejournal.com profile] jacksamfriends and [livejournal.com profile] phoenix_gate and the Teal'c ficathon and eeeep!

...So, yeah. Signups in April, Alphabet Soup in May. :)

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/traycer_/ 2009-03-19 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahaha! Much icon love going on right now! :) So true.

[identity profile] samantilles.livejournal.com 2009-03-19 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I kid you not I was shopping at Wal-mart for oatmeal, and saw the box. Immediately I went into super-geek mode and after sitting there debating to buy the cereal because of your then-upcoming ficathon while giggling to myself like the complete-queen-of-geeks I am for a full five minutes, I just took a snapshot of it with my camera. (I didn't think I could eat that much sugar to justify the purchase!) I wouldn't have thought twice about it if we weren't having a Jack Alpha-Bits at the same time. Oh what fandom does to me!! (other than clearing out my wallet for DVD goodness)

Whee!

Triage and CDC? (she used to work for the CDC right?)

That was Carolyn Lam.

I hereby claim "A". Wait... what do you mean, this isn't the claims post? *sigh*
ext_1941: (Default)

[identity profile] sg-fignewton.livejournal.com 2009-03-19 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it's not as if you didn't offer enough prompts of your own already. ;)

[livejournal.com profile] thraesja made it for me. Is it not delicious? :D

Y'know, I'm beginning to wonder if there's (gasp!) FANON involved :) because I also had this conviction that Janet was an expert in exotic diseases before coming to the SGC, and I just checked the transcipt of Broca Divide, when she first appears. Nothin'.

And now I really, really want to know... :)

[identity profile] sg-fignewton.livejournal.com 2009-03-19 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee! Oh, I love your T one! If you don't mind, though, I'm going to revise it to Time (2010) to make it more alphabet-y. :)
ext_1941: (Default)

[identity profile] sg-fignewton.livejournal.com 2009-03-19 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, Janet is good at aiming. ;) Although Hamlet could've used a few good anti-depressants, I suppose!
ext_1941: (Default)

[identity profile] sg-fignewton.livejournal.com 2009-03-19 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, what fandom does to all of us! :)

[identity profile] cnidarian.livejournal.com 2009-03-19 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Me too. I'm sure she is an expert in exotic diseases and I know I read that somewhere "official" but looks like the CDC thing is fanon. You are the master of sniffing out the canon from the fanon, though... *looks innocent*

[identity profile] cnidarian.livejournal.com 2009-03-19 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahh thank you! I got that from a fannish reference perhaps?

[identity profile] neiths-arrow.livejournal.com 2009-03-19 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
How about: compassion, defibrillator, brain scan, scar tissue, bed pan, neurological anomaly, occipital contusion, "Doc, whatever you do, don't move." phobic reaction to ?"
That's all I got.

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/traycer_/ 2009-03-20 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no. "A" is a horrible letter for you. Srsly, it does not look good on you at all. Really. It, um... clashes with your hair. :D

*le sigh* I guess I need to start thinking about another letter, huh??

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/traycer_/ 2009-03-20 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
neurological anomaly, occipital contusion,

Say what?? *g*

[identity profile] cleothemuse.livejournal.com 2009-03-20 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Or I do... may the fastest claimer win! :D

[identity profile] rdamel.livejournal.com 2009-03-20 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Might have been in Bane? I don't have time to check it right now, though.

no problem!

[identity profile] randomfreshink.livejournal.com 2009-03-20 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Antihistimines, androids, allergies, armbands

CMO, consciousnesses

divorce, death

footholds, firearms

metal health, Mackinzie, Maybourne, memorials

oaths

Urgo

And if 2010 is in there, it would be so cool to add other numbers, like 666.

They all look good to me, even if some of them are a tad on the long side. :)
ext_1941: (Default)

[identity profile] sg-fignewton.livejournal.com 2009-03-20 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
Cool, yes. Not quite sure how to make them part of alphabet soup, though. :) I'm revising the 2010 to T is for Time (2010) - or someone might want to use the prompt for A Matter of Time, who knows?
ext_1941: (Default)

[identity profile] sg-fignewton.livejournal.com 2009-03-20 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, sure. Give me yet ANOTHER topic. :)

Heh, yes - that is EXACTLY why I've made this AFTER the Sam-Jack friendathon goes live. I need time, too!

I don't know what some of this even means (ulalgia? pleural effusion?) but much glee for the inclusion of real medical terms! Thanks for contributing. :)
