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!

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*

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.

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.

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.
