The ficathon rules can be found here.
Call for Prompts!
1. Anyone is allowed to submit prompts. Even if you’re not a writer or don’t plan on writing.
2. Prompts must be more than one word. Traditional apocafic prompts are welcome, as well as those that put a different spin on things. Try and get creative. You can use specific scenarios, a series of words, lyrics (try to keep these down to a few lines), quotes, pictures (no NSFW pics please!), etc.
3. You CAN require specific pairings for your prompts. You cannot specify ‘het only’ or ‘slash only’, although you can specify ‘gen’ (for this purpose 'gen' will mean no sex or romance) or ‘team’ or 'any'. You can also combine character requests with 'gen' if you like.
4. When submitting prompts for individual characters, please indicate if you want the prompt written as gen or any pairing. If you don't indicate, I'll assume you intend the prompt to be gen.
5. Please submit multiple prompts. And please submit both pairing specific prompts and general prompts that can be written by anyone for any or no pairing. That way we’ll have a big variety and, hopefully, everybody will be happy.
6. I reserve the right to throw out prompts that are only one word, that are repeats of another prompt (unless they’re a different pairing) or that are graphic and intense. (You really have to submit something pretty sick to gross me out, so I don’t foresee this as a problem. It’s really more of a ‘don’t post pics of entrails’ type of thing.)
7. Each person may submit up to four unclaimed prompts from previous rounds that they'd really like to see written. Please indicate which are the recycled prompts. You can find older prompts here.
TL&DR:
Specify pairing OR character OR 'gen' OR 'team' OR 'any' (you can combine pairing information with 'gen' in order to request friendship fic). And then give the prompt.
Examples:
Greer & Young, gen. They've been through a lot together, but nothing like this.
Sheppard/Mitchell. "Do you ever wonder/about the last thing you'll do/the thing you won't get to think about, go over and over/until it's worn to a shine or spent" - Bob Hicok.
Carter, any. Blowing up a sun isn't the only way to destroy a world.
Cadman/Keller. Gunpowder and rust.
Any. They should have known it was only a matter of time.
If you list a prompt without a qualifier (pairing/character/gen/any), then it will automatically go into the 'ANY' category.
Prompts will be taken through August 11th. Prompts will be posted August 12th. Fic is due, at the latest, by October 15th.
FYI: While you're certainly welcome to leave multiple comments as you think of more prompts, you're also welcome to leave multiple prompts in the same comment, as long as they're on different lines (with maybe an extra space in between if they run for more than one line).
Comments are UNSCREENED. If you have questions, please go HERE.

A mighty afternoon;

And leave the soul alone. - Emily Dickinson
