Apologies, everyone, for being a semi-absentee mod: it was a long hot crazy busy summer. Anyway, the Fork In The Road challenge is now closed; all the entries are on the LJ side of this comm, so use the Fork In The Road tag over there.

For our next challenge; so Joe Flanigan got a Twitter account. And he posted the following:

# Q: if you could rewrite the ending to SGA, how would you send Shepard off into the sunset?

# A: Ronin and I steal a puddle jumper, pack it with beer, duct tape McKay in the back (tech support) and set up a new series: WraithHunter

Folks have already been writing stories on this theme (HAI SHEAFROTHERDON!) and we think more people should!

So the challenge is to write a story that features these elements somewhere--but feel free to be creative with the how, why, and where. Bonus points for including Teyla!

Also, because it would be nice to have these all in one place, we're suspending our normal ban on previously-posted stories for this challenge: if you wrote a story in response to J.Flan's twitter scenario, please do cross post it to sga_flashfic!

This challenge will run till at least September 19th.

( Your Memory Will Carry On )

There are...er, a whole load of secrets posted, and I confess I self-indulgently left the challenge open until I could post mine, so, er, mod's privilege? And just to consolidate all my modly abuse of power into one post--I promise not to do this for another five years :)--I want to propose a "Fork In The Road Challenge", inspired by all my friends in SPN who are frantically fixing things.

So fix something that's always bugged you about SGA: correct a specific error, make something right that to your mind, went wrong, in a particular episode. Change the father of Teyla's baby; change their relationship with Michael or Todd; stop Carson from getting killed; keep Sam in charge of Atlantis; for God's sake, put Atlantis back where it belongs--big or small, pick a specific moment in canon and fork off from it. So it's like an AU challenge but more specific, if you follow.

It's May 17; we'll give this at least a month, to June 17th or thereafter.
