Stargate Atlantis Flashfiction

School's out! You can read the 7 Continuing Education Challenge entries here and here.

Meanwhile, last fall scarlet_gryphon asked for a Post Secret Redux challenge, and you know what? The SGA Post Secret community at LJ is still open for business, and we hereby announce the companion community at Dreamwidth: sga_post_secret.

If you remember, the original challenge was proposed by the awesome helenish, who said:

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."

Okay, not really. His would probably be all "I don't say much because it helps me get laid more often."

The rules for this challenge are as follows:

* Post Secret PICS/IMAGES are to be posted to one of the sga_post_secret communities, not to the sga_flashfic community. (That way, people can choose to see all the images, the fiction, or both.)

* However, you may also write Post Secret FICTION and this FICTION should be posted to sga_flashfic as usual. If the fiction is the companion piece to a Post Secret image, you should provide a link to the image on sga_post_secret.

* MOREOVER, you are allowed--nay, encouraged!--to use other people's secrets as PROMPTS to inspire your flashfiction. If you write fiction based on someone else's Post Secret, you should credit them and provide a link to the secret with your story (which, like all fiction, should be posted to sga_flashfic)

* Last, but not least, if you do not want anyone writing fiction about your secret, please add "No fic please" to your entry on the sga_post_secret community.

Clear as mud? Any questions, I'll keep my eyes on comments!

Today is February 23; we'll give this one a month and close on March 23. HAVE FUN!!!
