ADMIN POST: The Personal Item Challenge

[cesperanza.livejournal.com]

A bunch of you have been clamoring for this one, including les342 who said:

"I would like to see a personal item challenge. In Hide and Seek we learn that each of the expedition members were each allowed to bring one personal item and that Shep brought his football videos. What about everyone else? We should have a challenge where you have to write about someone else, what they brought, and why they brought it."

It's worth noting that kmanderson replied that "Shep seems to have smuggled a bunch of other personal items in as well, such as "War and Peace" and his poster. I imagined him smuggling them in hidden in his pants, since they always seem to be so roomy..." It's true that they don't exactly seem to stick with the 1 personal item rule, but for the purposes of this challenge, the personal items should be limited and special, and if your character has more than one, they SHOULD have been smuggled in Sheppard's pants or somewhere equally roomy. *g* So feel free to give Shep something special beside his football videos, or to give Rodney two special things, but we're going to treat them like the lousy smugglers they are and presume that they didn't arrive in Atlantis openly pushing a wheelbarrow of CDs. As Hth said in her request for the challenge, "I want a story about something that some one either spent their space on or smuggled through the Gate."

Today's August 12th; stories will be due Friday, August 26th at midnight.
