As long as you like the interaction and can produce something about the two characters, we'd love to have you participate in this.

Thing-A-Thon: fic, icons, banners, wallpapers, drawings, music videos, original compositions - almost any kind of fanwork that can be created. At this stage, we won't be accepting either fanmixes or 'motivational posters'.

Hi! I hope you don't mind, but I pinged a few people about this, and I was going to make a chibi banner for the exchange. eta: Is there a reason comments are screened? It makes it seem like no one is participating. I admit I got a little discouraged (okay, a lot discouraged). I really like to read over the potential prompts and see who's in the game.

	I never turn down promotion, or offers to make banners for it. (I'm guessing that's what you're offering? Or were you going to participate?) (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

Name: pentapus Email: pentapus@livejournal.com What you can make: fic, art Rating: up to PG-13 What you would like to receive: fic, art Rating: up to R Friends or relationship: Either, but I'm more attached to the strength of the relationship (gen or het) and to characterization than I am to checking off my romance bingo card. Spoiler limit: Season 4 Prompts: Feel free to set the piece in canon's past (season 3, 2, 1, and earlier) or future or to go AU (a rooftop artist's studio in the desert, an alleyway in Byzantium, etc, or just a slightly divergent canon). [1] Earth, a new reference frame, an outsider's perspective. [2] Pegasus or an AU. Someplace forgotten, eerie, beautiful. John isn't quite--human. Teyla knows the feeling. Two Things you'd like to see: [1] They're both off balance. (Or dorks. Either works). [2] Physical comfort with each other whether it's an old thing or a new surprise. Two Things you don't want: [1] h/c that wallows in either the h or the c [2] Teyla in any way like an unattainable goddess to John's down-to-earth, comparative unworthiness.

Name: Saeva E-mail: loupsdeguerre @ aol . com Making: Art or fiction. Rating: Any. Requesting: Fiction. Rating: R and up, please. My prompts contain pretty mature subject matter. Friends or relationship: Relationship. Their connection as lovers and companions is important to me. Spoiler limit: No season five spoilers. Post-S4 is fine, just don't incorporate any of the stuff floating around about season five. I'm unspoiled and I'd like to stay that way. Prompt 01: Established relationship; John's a little uncomfortable with his desire to be dominated sexuality but, now that he and Teyla are in a committed relationship, he's ready to broach the subject. [I'm not necessarily looking for porn here, FYI, though porn is fine.] Prompt 02: "People walk a tightrope on a razor's edge, carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons. It could be a bomb, or a bullet, or a pin, or a thought, or a word, or a sin, sin, sin. There ain't no reason things are this way, it's how they've always been and they intend to stay; I don't know why I say the things I say but I say them anyways. Keep on building bombs, gonna drop them all, working your fingers bare to the bones." - Ain't No Reason by Brent Dennen [Parallel universes and alternate realities are all cool, as is canon, or four years from current canon or whatever. I'm pretty much into a little of everything.] Two (2) Wants: [01] Established relationship/showing the deep friendship and lovers bond John and Teyla would have if they were together. : ) [02] Teyla as a strong, intelligent woman who can lead and John as a smart, capable man/Teyla&John as equals (please no "goddess Teyla" fic, even if the first prompt is chosen, for example). Two (2) Squicks: [01] No bashing -- no character bashing, no ship bashing, no kink bashing, no bashing at all, please. [02] Please don't ignore the pregnancy/Teyla as a mother (and John as a step-father) if you do write a fic meant to be set in S4 or post-S4 canon. (Reply to this)
