The All Fanwork Gateverse Extravaganza

I just finished rewatching SGA with my daughter and was reminded all over again how much I love all things Gateverse. To that end, I would like to host a low-pressure fanwork fest focused on SG-1, SGA, and SGU.

How The All Fanwork Gateverse Extravaganza Works

1. All fanworks allowed! This means icons, artworks, gifsets, fic, rec sets, meta, vids and any other fannishness you want to share.

2. All ratings and genres of fanworks allowed! This means het, slash, and gen; this means Adult and rated G; this means AU and cross-over and fusion and Gateverse actor RPF; this means kinky and vanilla; this means drabbles and long fics.

3. All incarnations of the Gateverse allowed! This means SG-1, SGA, SGU, actor RPF, and movieverse.

4. Please respond to this post with fanwork prompts. In the subject line, indicate what kind of fanwork you are prompting for and for which show. (Examples: Subject line: Meta Prompt; SGA or Subject Line: Fic Prompt; SGU) Remember, prompts may differ between the LJ/DW versions of this post, so you might want to check them both.

5. You do not have to sign up for a prompt. You do not have to create a fanwork to leave a prompt. Everyone is free to leave as many prompts as desired with no obligation to fill any of them.

6. If you get inspired by a prompt, create a fanwork and post it wherever you like. Drop a link to your fanwork in this post under the prompt that inspired it just like you would on a kinkmeme or other kind of comment fest. Please indicate if your fanwork requires any warnings. At the end of May, I will make a master post linking to all the prompt fills for easy readability.

7. You can also link to any Gateverse fanwork you create during this time *not* inspired by a prompt to this post. Sometimes inspiration doesn't quite fit the dictates of a prompt, but those fanworks have a home here, too!

9. Please promote this in your personal journals and in any communities you think might be interested. I think it would be wonderful if we could get the fannish momentum rolling in the Gateverse again.

To Recap:

Sometime between now and the end of May, play in the Gateverse sandbox and then come and tell me about it, pretty please. LOL

ETA: we now have banners courtesy of the very talented

mific!!!!! Many thanks. :)

Teyla/Kate

I would love to read a story where Teyla is interested in Kate but backs off when she realizes that psychologists generally avoid relationships with their patients. Maybe Kate notices Teyla pining and steps down as Teyla's counselor.

Teyla/Keller

A relationship grows out of their experiences in "Missing," a relationship that is threatened when Kanaan returns. Or maybe not. Maybe he stays missing or they make a threesome. IDK. :)

John/Larrin

I see John as bisexual, and his chemistry with Larrin is out of this world IMHO. I guess this isn't so much a prompt as a plea for fic, any kind of fic LOL, featuring this pairing.

Writing Rodney McKay

Writing Rodney is difficult in the same way that writing Snape or Spike is difficult. Many writers (myself included!) have trouble writing a Spike, for instance, who is both an amoral killing machine and a poetic softie. How do you write Rodney in all his "petty, arrogant, and bad with people" glory while still making him endearing? Along the same lines, how do you portray his romantic relationships realistically? I hate the whole "John thinks Rodney being an asshole is funny" trope just as much as I hate the "Jennifer calls him out on his shit so she sucks" flipside. How do you write a Rodney who true to canon?

Ronon/Carson

Ronon has fallen for Carson, and he thinks he loses his chance to ever let Carson know when he dies. When they find Carson's clone, Ronon vows to waste no more time.

Gen

A behind the scenes conversation between Ellis and Caldwell; what do they think about Atlantis and the different personnel. I think Caldwell gets short shrift in the show at times; my opinion about Elizabeth's reactions to him have changed over time (while my love for her has not), and I think she often judges him too harshly. Ellis seems cut from a different cloth, though, so I'd be interested what they might have to say to each other privately about the expedition.

What happened to Jinto? It really bothers me that he isn't present or even alluded to when they rescue the Athosians. Has he become a hybrid? Is he dead? Did he leave the group for some reason before they were captured by Michael? I'm not necessarily looking for a happy ending here, just some acknowledgement that the kid existed. LOL He played a fairly significant role in the first season, and Halling's characterization was deeply tied to his role as a father. Why doesn't Teyla immediately ask about Jinto? Why doesn't Halling mention him? If he has evaded capture, why doesn't Teyla mention him in the course of her search for her people?

Woolsey and O'Neill are alone on Atlantis with a ton of Replicators. How fun is that?

Could be gen or slash. :)

Tell me more about this Pegasus coalition we see in season 5. What do the people of Pegasus really think about the Atlantis expedition?

Something with Ronon, Teyla, and Torren, please :)

Rodney/Sam

Rodney, after everything is said and done and they save the galaxy together, expresses his gratitude to Sam in a sincere way for the first time.
