Jack and Daniel. Allllll about the J/D.

[minxy]

It has been brought to my attention that greensilver, the woman we can thank for bringing us the Jack/Daniel ficathon from years past, may be concerned that there is no longer any interest in Jack and Daniel.

*waits for that to sink in*

I KNOW, it would be a travesty.

Fortunately, YOU can do something to convince her otherwise! And beg her to once again put in the huge amount of work it probably takes to run a ficathon! Go to her journal here and take her poll, give her some feedback on whether you'll write, the timing of the ficathon deadlines and starting a community, with no obligation to buy at this time (this is a loooow maintenance request, mah people.)

Now, you may be saying to yourself 'self,' you're saying, 'Minxy reccs a heckalota ficathons.' And, well, yes, I do; because they provide so much Good Fic, and the occasional deadline is good for jumpstarting the muses.

And here's the thing about ficathons: their deadlines vary. The tealc_ficathon is still open to sign ups (and the prompts are getting more interesting. Go sign up to write 500 words and request something! Can't have too much inspiration) and the final works will be due May 1st. The apocalyptathon is due June 1st and the remixredux is due at the end of next week.

PLENTY OF TIME. Lots of love. So go tell greensilver your preferences for deadlines. May? June? July? She's asking for imput.

If you need inspiration, I suggest you go to green_grrl's journal, where she has created some picspam Introduction to Jack and Daniel and Their Hands in honor of Handporn Week. I know, it's brilliant.

In honor of greensilver, we now present to you, some of the incredible Jack/Daniel ficathons past: the 2004 Jack/Daniel Ficathon Master List, containing (among others): Eighteen body language cues, a caveman and an astronaut (indelicate_dark), For Each Ecstatic Instant (raqs), This Player Here, But in a Fiction (saffronhouse), Grounded (kormantic), The Aftereffects of Sustained Sarcophagus Useage (prillalar), A Heart For Every Fate (destina) and The Beautiful Uncut Hair of Graves (kylielee1000).

And, the 2005 Jack/Daniel Ficathon Master List. On it, you will find: destina's The Empty Well, taselby's East of Omaha, tafkarfanfic's Another Fine Universe You've Gotten Us Into and saffronhouse's Red Sky at Morning.

Seriously. But I gotta go otherwise I'll just spend the whole day reading these. Go represent!

Yay! I already went over there and took part in the poll. It was so much fun last year and we need more Jack/Daniel love!

*nods* Marraige takes work. Especially one veiled in secrecy and now having to deal with long distance. Yup. *nods more*

Speaking of ficathons, have you pimped tealc_ficathon on the Stargate comms? Maybe we ought to do before signups close?

[moonshayde.livejournal.com]

To tell you the truth, brain is mush. Between school and me writing way too much fanfic for my own good, I don't remember where I announced it and where I haven't. If you know of comms that allow promotion (some don't) feel free to promote or let me know which and I'll do the same.

*fuzzles from hot icon*

[rydra_wong]

Okay for me to run round promoting it, then?

*glee*

[moonshayde.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm all for it. I'm just trying to spread the Teal'c love any way I can. Go forth and spread the word ;)

[dustandroses.livejournal.com]

Yay! Go you! Here, have some smooches from me:

:::lots and lots of smooches:::

You're right, there's some damn good fic that's come out of this ficathon in the past. I sure hope this works.

Hey, there's even a new sign-up on the Teal'cathon...I've been checking back since I signed up, because it looks so bare, you know?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

Yeah, that was sugargroupie, I know her from the recent affectionate Farscape puppy pile, and she wrote a nice little post-Teal'c/Vala/Cameron threesome snippet that I read today (her first Stargate fic and she jumps in with a threesome. My kinda girl.)

I love that it feels like people are willing to be talked into the Teal'c ficathon, but I would like to see some people I don't know. Wonder if Moonshayde has pimped in the various comms?

*smootches back lots and lots* Looks like there are upwards of 20 people interested, I hope that's enough interest. I'm guessing more will show for the actual signups as opposed to an informal poll.

Wonder if Moonshayde has pimped in the various comms?

Might be worth your asking her. I'm gonna go pimp in gate_unleashed *g*.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

lol. I did! Right up there *points to earlier comments* I'm not sure I have the energy to check rules and whether it's already been posted, but I'll try in my various comms.

but gate_unleashed has been taken care of, then, right? Cool. *checks*

[rydra_wong]

Yup, only saw after I had commented *g*.

I've now done stargateslash too. Unless the rules make it obvious that ficathon announcements are or aren't allowed, I'm e-mailing moderators to check first - seems politest.

*plots*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

Yay! Good woman. I'm hoping to see some folks I didn't directly pressure into joining! *rolls eyes at self*

Oooh, looky! New Farscape icons.

[rydra_wong]

Did stargatefic too. Yay for helpful mods!

Preeeeettttyy icon. Claudia Black is exceptionally icon-able.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

You did great! You got two new sign-ups! *snoopy dance*

I actually realized, uploading, that all the icons I picked up were Claudia. *sheepish* *fangrrls Claudia*

[rydra_wong]

There is never shame in fangrrrling Claudia.

And see, now kernezelda is pimping too!

[rydra_wong]

There are 16 people signed up now! If there aren't many drop-outs, this could practically double the amount of Teal'c fic in existence!

OK, I exaggerate. But only slightly.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

I was SO about to say the same thing. I've been over there at least twice today alone to see new people had signed up (and go you almost talking Danvers into it!)

I emailed you the Cam/Teal'c (in my head it's alllll Cam/Teal'c) stories around a campfire fic. It needs a more interesting title.
