A/N: I imitated the formatting from World War Z to the best of my HTML-coding ability; sorry if the bold text is a distraction. I'm a little ambivalent about posting this, but I figured if the challenge is still going on...

Title: One of Those Days All Week
Author: mad_maudlin
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Rodney, fifth season cast.
Spoilers: "The Hot Zone," "The Hive/Lost Boys," "The Shrine"
Summary: Rodney has a bad day. A very long, very bad day.

A/n: Okay, I know, normal people don't write three fics for the same challenge. I had a week off work, though, and not much else to do. linziday, astridv, and less_star all wished for Rodney whump and exhaustion, so, vot eto. All research for this fic conducted at Erowid.com, where people alter their minds so you don't have to.

Rating: PG
Characters: Team + Jennifer and Radek, but focus on John and Rodney.
Spoilers: Set vaguely in the last two seasons but no specific episode spoilers
Summary: An accident offworld leaves Rodney feeling disconnected from the world around him. Luckily John and his friends are there.

A/N: So jennytork wished for a gen fic in which Rodney lost a sense and John helped him. Ms. Tork, I hope this meets expectations. Apologies to people who know more about Morse code than Wikipedia teaches, as I've probably offended you greatly. Thanks to ceilidh and marginaliana for beta reading!

( Rodney didn't know what hit him, literally. )

Title: The Superhuman Crew
Author: mad_maudlin
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: AU/mashup
Spoilers: none
Pairings: McShep, others implied
Summary: Eight years later, Rodney gets an unexpected visitor with some surprising news.

Disclaimer: SGA belongs to MGM. Watchmen belongs to Alan Moore. Dr. Who belongs to the BBC. The title at some point related to Bob Dylan. I think that covers it.

Notes: This may be the first in a longer series of pseudo-brainy mashup fics I dream of writing to explore the idea of fanfic as literary criticism, or, you know, not. You can't really play with the concept of timeline in a prose work they way you can in a graphic novel, but I figured my attempt at honoring Moore's awesometasticality made this fitting for the Backstory challenge. All hail MA and lofro for getting me to actually read Watchmen in the first place.

Title: That Voodoo That You Do
Author: mad_maudlin
Rating: PG
Length: 6,000
Spoilers: Lots of little ones through the end of S3
Warnings: Kind of gross, in the end.
Summary: John leaned on the end of the bed, eyebrows up. "You know, McKay, I think Stephen King wrote a book like that."

A/N: I don't know where this idea came from, but it's had hold of me since the beginning of the challenge. Rodney paraphrases Mark Twain, and the Stephen King book it real, but John's actually thinking of the TV-movie version that he (like me) only saw part of.

( This is all some kind of vicious cowboy voodoo plot, isn't it? )

Title: Promises to Keep
Author: Mad Maudlin
Category: Gen
Word Count: ~ 200
Rating: PG
Spoilers: The Return
Summary: Without the city, what else is left?
Notes: This could eventually be a lead-in to something longer. But, um, it's turning out a lot longer, and I think this stands well enough on its own.

( And miles to go before I sleep. )
