-title- When Summer's End Is Nighing
-author- Sophonisba (saphanibaal)

-characters- Sheppard
-disclaimer- The title is from a poem by A. E. Housman; two other of his poems are quoted in the text.
-word count- 1255
-summary- AU tag for "Rising"; morning-after thoughts. Measuring oneself against a legend is an exercise in masochism.

( Especially given the source of said legend. )

ADMIN: Sickness Challenge

[cesperanza.livejournal.com]

For ellex42 and everyone else who's got the flu, we present the Sickness Challenge. ellex42 wants:

"a sickness challenge. Bacterial, viral, mental, emotional illness; serious like cancer, or harmless like a hangnail; food poisoning, PMS, allergies; chronic conditions (like diabetes or McKay's purported hypoglycemia) or temporary ones (like appendicitis or exposure to a harmful substance - paint fumes comes to mind!). I don't care how you do it. Just make 'em sick, so I feel better about being sick."

(H/c junkies, rev your engines. *g* Comedy writers, cue up your bitching Rodneys! There are a couple of you out there I'm a worried about, so maybe warn for, you know, galaxy-wide plagues where everybody dies, ok?)

Today is February 7; stories will be due Feb 21st at midnight eastern.
