stargateslash | Stargate Five Things Community

Our generous mod has been gracious enough to allow me to promote

sg_five_things is the Dreamwidth version of the LJ comm

sg1_five_things.

We solicit prompt requests here. So if there's anything in you want to write or see written, it's as simple as dropping the prompt at the comm.

Prompts go up in batches of five as separate journal entries -- if you subscribe to the comm, you'll get links to them all in one entry on your reading list every other Thursday. Any writers who want to play, post your five-things lists as comments to those entries. The comments are screened for two weeks, because a big part of the fun is finding out what different people come up with independently. (Comm maintainers who are also participating as writers promise not to peek.)

The deadline for posting independent, screened responses will be ten days after the prompts go up (on Mondays). On the deadline, we mass-unscreen the response comments to unveil all the five-thingses for everyone to read. Then we post a new batch of prompts. You can still respond to the earlier prompts after the unscreening.

Responses can be in the form of brief lists, extended analyses of each list item, drabbles or ficlets, or however else the responder feels like doing it. Stargate: SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis are the base fandoms, but AUs and Peg-B and pretty much anything else you can come up with are great too.

You can respond to any number of prompts. Doing one doesn't obligate you to do all the others.

For now, the community will be used to announce the new set of prompts and the prompt responses as they are unveiled. All links will lead you back to the original LJ community.

If you don't have/want an LJ account you can still play! You can comment annoynomously or with your Dreamwidth OpenID.

The first 'offical' post will be the unscreening of the set 70 responses on Monday, May 11.

Thanks and happy five-thingsing!
