because insanity is fun...

[donutsweeper]

I have signed up for the SGA h/c genfic Last Fic Writer Standing challenge.  And because it's even more fun to share the insanity, you all should sign up too!!  Rules are here.  Basically you get a prompt, have a week to write it (don't worry, the stories are supposed to be short) and then the stories are posted anonymously and people vote on them.  Come, go off the deep end with me, the water's fine!

Come to the Dark Side, we have donuts?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Exactly!

I fully expect to be voted off in the first round, but with luck it'll be fun anyway!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Ah, you'll do great. And, you know, fun is always good.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

it's also good to go outside your comfort zone every once in awhile, you know?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

It is.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

and the prompts I took from the bringthehappy and wrote for SGA seemed to work, so... *shrug*

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Yes they do.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*crosses fingers* lets hope I can manage!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Like I said, I'm sure you'll do just fine.

*vbg*

You know I'd follow you off a cliff but SGA H/c??

Me no can do. When does it start so I can watch?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

The first week's prompt just went out so the stories will be posted anonymously around the 24/25th for voting on.

I should never have signed up this is me after getting the prompt

*grabs you and pets you till you calm down*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*tries to take deep breath*

300-500 words. dialogue only. all four team members. *meep*

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

oooo

I...

That's not so bad? Rodney could talk for Canada and win prizes :D


My brain is fried I have NO WORDS I am a fine one to talk :(

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I *think* there's also supposed to be some h/c aspect to it too.

I've done plenty of dialogue only things, but never with 4 people before. Switching the speaker makes it much harder to follow.

*Pets you too* sorry for brain fry!

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

So um are you not even allowed to have the occasional So-and-so said in it?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

nope- no dialogue tags at all.

It's working, sort of, but not flowing the way I want

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

That is *WAY* harder.

Let me know if I can help at all - I'm assuming you're allowed betas?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I assume so, although I guess a beta couldn't vote then because they'd know who did what. (or who one of the things was then)

Would you be up for it?

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

Sure - I know what they are all supposed to sound like and I'm not likely to go over there and vote anyway...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*smooches* I'm giving it a final read now, so can I email it to you in a few?

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

Sure thing - I shan't be able to get to it for a couple of hours though it's putting mum to bed time and then I'll have to have some dinner.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*bounces* you are a doll. No rush, it's not due till the 23rd or 24th or something

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

All things being equal I'll try and have it back to you before I go to bed. OH! DAMN!!! I forgot.
Simon has to be somewhere at 4:30 in the morning - If I don't send it back within the next 4 hours or so expect it when you wake up tomorrow.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

On it's way to you. Thanks so much for this!
