It's Monday and time for a new challenge.

Challenge #290 is:

EmergencyPart of saving the world a couple of times before breakfast is the constant state of emergency. Remember when all of Atlantis was supposed to have a day off? Exploding tumors thought differently. Gate teams go missing, allies (or are they?) call for help, enemies appear on the ( Read more... )

Challenge #289 is:

Hero

The SGC teams including Team Sheppard are occasionally Big Damn Heroes. You could write about such an occasion and whether or not it's acknowledged as such (see e.g. John's "You're welcome! It was a daring rescue." in Miller's Crossing). Maybe in an AU one witnesses a ( Read more... )

It's Monday and time for a new challenge. (I broke the tie by the roll of a die.)

Challenge #288 is:

HomeHome is where the heart is. How were John and Rodney home to each other? You could also write about them buying a home together. Maybe they reflect on life on Earth (or Atlantis). What does home even mean to them? How about a time they had to ( Read more... )

Challenge #287 is:

Busted Again

You don't always learn from mistakes, so sometimes even though you've been caught in the act before, it might happen again. I try to always make sure not to use prompt options that we already had, but this one slipped through and is a repeat of prompt 209: Busted. But you ( Read more... )

Challenge #286 is:

WeatherEarth alone boasts very different climate regions. How did Rodney deal with the cold in Siberia or John with the desert? Can they make up their mind where to go on vacation or will Rodney complain it's too hot (if you're not surfing, which he won't be)? Then there are the ( Read more... )

Challenge #285 is:

TrustAh, Trinity. Going from "I have never asked this of you before, but I think I've earned it. Trust me." to "I would hate to think that recent events might have permanently dimmed your faith in my abilities, or your trust." was difficult, but canonically addressed the matter of trust ( Read more... )

Challenge #284 is:

Temptation

There are so many things to be tempted by. There are easy solutions (with higher risks). There is the temptation of knowledge or power. The Ancients have created so many things that forget to ask whether something should be created, just because it could be created. There's ( Read more... )

Challenge #282 is:

RulebreakerJohn's hair can't possibly be according to regs. And that's probably the most minor of rules that's being broken on Atlantis regularly. Quarantines are broken, mission reports leave out things if they're written at all, and the handling of potentially dangerous artifacts is, ( Read more... )

It's Monday and time for a new challenge.

Challenge #281 is:

LetterPhone, email, instant messages, and so forth have largely replaced letters these days. The letters we do receive are often official in nature. What could such a letter mean to John, Rodney, or the Atlantis expedition? Or perhaps it is a rare personal letter, putting into words ( Read more... )
