sga_flashficBecause I never heard a crackheaded idea I didn't like...this challenge comes out of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
helenish's LJ, where she proposed a Post Secret Challenge, Post Secret being the site where people send in postcards of their terrible, melodramatic secrets. To quote Helen:
So, spill your guts, people! It's Saturday, February 11th, and we'll hold this challenge open until Saturday, February 26th at midnight eastern.
Extra special Admin Message: As a test, I'm going to try TAGGING this entry as Post Secret. Would everyone please tag their entries as well? We'll see if/how that works, but honestly: nobody should have to archive 82 flashfiction stories, especially not me!
Edited to add: The challenge has been broadened to encourage fic inspired by people's postcard responses. If you do not want anybody writing fic about your postcard, please note so in your entry--i.e. "No fic please," or "Not eligible for fic" Also, if you could, perhaps indicate if your entry is a picture or a story--our friends on dialup are having issues with the pictures but want to be sure to read stories. Thanks for your courtesy!
More info is here.
helenish's LJ, where she proposed a Post Secret Challenge, Post Secret being the site where people send in postcards of their terrible, melodramatic secrets. To quote Helen: If there isn't an SGA Post Secret Challenge, there should be, just because I think, especially Sheppard is all about super dramatic secrets like "I keep letting women fuck me because I don't know how to say no." and "I've tried to kill myself sixteen times and it never works." and "I've never had good sex." and "Everyone else worries about the people they left behind, but I can barely even remember their names." and all of Rodney's would be like "I'm worried I won't win a Nobel Prize until I'm too old to care." and "No one believes me when I say I can't do things. I'm starting not to believe it myself." and Teyla's would all be "All my coworkers secretly want to fuck me." and "I hate my job but the stars say it's my destiny." and Ronon's would be all "I'm a wraith spy."Really, can you resist this? I can't resist this. Not even a bit. (Look! My icon--it's a John Sheppard secret! {quail with love!})
Okay, not really. His would probably be all "I don't say much because it helps me get laid more often."
So, spill your guts, people! It's Saturday, February 11th, and we'll hold this challenge open until Saturday, February 26th at midnight eastern.

Date: 2006-02-12 12:09 am (UTC)I'm wondering though, are you wanting it to be a new Post Secret, with letters the SGA folk would send or is it more dealing with the secrets themselves? I guess I mean to say, fic or pic?
If you can clear this up, I thank you muchly.

Date: 2006-02-12 11:27 am (UTC)While I agree that tagging them with the usernames here might be convenient as well esp. if the authors don't have a clearly labelled site or memories section, tags don't seem to work that well. Happy to be proven wrong.

Date: 2006-02-12 11:22 am (UTC)I agree that tagging is not as reliable as well, one typo and the entry ends up in the sgs list.
post secret = best idea EVER

Date: 2006-02-12 05:03 pm (UTC)Even if it works, someone probably ought to check the tags though if they replaced memories. Then again, that's just as much work *wry grin*

Date: 2006-02-12 06:01 pm (UTC)Just a thought.

Date: 2006-02-12 06:27 pm (UTC)Though you're right: every fucking postcard should be matched to a flashfiction! DUDE.

Date: 2006-02-12 06:33 pm (UTC)I certainly wouldn't mind if someone ran with a card I made a did a fic on it, and I know that there have been several by others that make me want to write. :)
