ADMIN: The Kidfic Challenge

For [livejournal.com profile] cupidsbow, who demands, "We need a kidfic challenge!"
Maybe it's backstory, and we find out all about the tragic (or magical) moments that made the team who they are. Maybe Rodney was forced to go to clown school one summer in a misguided attempt to form his character. Or maybe Ronon was an astronomy nut and his dad used to take him on camping trips so they could stargaze into the wee small hours.

Or maybe it's a de-aging machine, and we get to see mini Teyla crawling through the airducts with her sticks to singlehandedly save Atlantis from the threat of the week. Because she was awesome and competant, even as a wee thing.

Or maybe John and Rodney find that gestation unit. You know the one -- they accidentally touch it an end up instant parents. Or maybe that's not how it goes. Maybe Rodney and Sam are the ones who touch it, and the Atlantis team end up having to raise a genius. Can't you just picture it?

Fun times, people. Fun times.

So can we have that now? *puppydog eyes*
YES, you SO CAN HAS!!

I also give a special shout out to Poliphia Hypnerotomachia, who asked me to run a challenge for stories where Jack O’Neill is the father of John Sheppard. I thought that was kind of specific for flashfic, but hey, if anybody wants a plot for a kidfic story, PH suggests: "Something big is about to happen (think action/adventure here people) which requires the aid of Jack O’Neill’s son – and it ain’t Charlie. So the SGC discover (Don’t ask me how) that John Sheppard is actually an O’Neil. I’d like it if the SGA Pilot could be worked into the fic. Also, no Chaya. The rest is up to you, surprise me, delight me, La la la laaaa…" (Remember, you build up good karma by helping fangirls realize their crackheaded dreams!)

ETA *facepalm*--and now, the deadline! You probably think I've given up on deadlines entirely! It's September 24th; stories are due October 8th at midnight eastern.
