jd_ficathon | Time to post prompts here for the J/D Promptathon 2019!

PROMPTS ARE NOW CLOSED.

Instructions on creating fanworks for the 2019 Promptathon are here.

I am delighted to announce this year's event, a Jack/Daniel SG-1 promptathon, which is offered in place of the traditional ficathon.

This post is for commenting with your ideas for prompts for fic. Art can also be made for the resulting fic (or it could be a standalone piece of art). Instructions for claiming prompts will be posted later.

Please comment on this post through June 20 with prompts. Please read this entire post before commenting. One prompt per comment.

Anyone will be able to claim a prompt or prompts as the basis for a fic and/or art. Fic will be a minimum of 500 words. After June 20, instructions will be posted about claiming prompts, and also the posting guidelines for the fic and/or art.
Please DO NOT comment with opinions about the prompts, or make any other comments in this post, except for actual prompts. If you have questions, email me at princessofgeeks at hotmail, send me a DW message, or comment on the post about this promptathon on my own journal,

princessofgeeks.

You do not have to commit to writing a fic or art to make a prompt. One DW account can make up to 10 prompts. Anonymous prompts are allowed.

Please put each prompt in a separate comment.

What makes a good prompt? Opinions vary. I hope we will get lots of different types of prompts to suit all writers' preferences. Because of the nature of this type of event, writers may not perfectly execute all elements of the prompt, but writers should look for a prompt they actually can write. Thus, when you claim a prompt, you should not plan to make major deviations from the prompt. If you need to do that, pick a different prompt. Or avoid all that by posting a prompt YOU would like to write, and claiming it later, or get a fandom friend to do so for you. Don't twist a prompt beyond all recognition. If you claim a prompt and find you can't write it, break free from the promptathon and just post the resultant fic on its own wherever you post your fic. Don't refer back to the promptathon in that case.

When posting prompts here as comments, you can post anonymous prompts, or post under your DW identity, or both, but please limit yourself to 10 prompts total.

Suggestions for prompting (mix and match!):

^ Include the rating you would like to see. Friendship-only prompts are great! Smut-only prompts are great! Anything in between is great! However, remember this is a Jack/Daniel event and that should be the focus. Plot suggestions are great! Tropes are great! Genres like "first time" or "angst" are great!

^ Prompts should be fairly short...3-4 sentences at most.

^ Prompts that are a line of poetry or song lyrics, or a brief thematic suggestion, are beloved of some writers.

^ Prompts that suggest a crunchy factual plot line, or literal elements that a fic should include, are also beloved.

^ Prompts that suggest an episode tag to a specific episode, or a specific gapfiller (such as "after Season 8", or filling in the neglected aspects of Daniel's descensions) are wonderful too.

^ Prompts that suggest including specific characters from the show besides Jack and Daniel are fun too.

^ If you would like to prompt our writers and artists to create something related to YOUR OWN posted fic or art, that is fine, but you can't post anonymously if that is your desired prompt. Include a link to the fic or art.

^ Mentioning things you would NOT like to see in the plot, like bloodplay, adultery, or underage sex, is great.

DO NOT:

^ Post prompts that require turning a member of the original team or the Seasons 9-10 team into a villain or an antagonist, or require the bashing of a specific character. (Exceptions: In "Absolute Power," we have a canon AU in which Daniel does some terrible things, and of course any fic about that episode will include Daniel as he is depicted there. In S9 "Ripple Effect," we see a canonical AR team that does some questionable things that would be out of character in the main universe. That's fine.) Prompts with character bashing like this will be deleted by Princess of Geeks, your self-appointed promptathon ruler. I'm specifically thinking of fic that bashes Sam Carter. Do not want. I am the Princess, I am in charge, and that is not something I'm going to preside over. This canon has plenty of tasty yummy villains to incorporate if you need an antagonist or someone to harm your heroes. Deletions of prompts of this type are purely at my discretion, period.

DO NOT:

^ Post prompts suggesting sequels or gapfillers to some other writer's existing fanfic, or remixes of other writers' existing fanfic. That is beyond the scope of this event and your Princess feels that within our community, such writing would at a minimum for courtesy require prior permission from that fan writer. Your ruler is not prepared to bird-dog all that. If you want to host a remix event, please do so. This is not that. (I know that some writers have posted blanket permissions for people to remix their fic; I have done this myself. If you feel extremely strongly about this in regard to your desired prompt, and there is such a blanket permission, email me and we'll discuss it. But I really don't want to get into that.)

PROMPT EXAMPLES: See the first comments.

(Again, please post one prompt per comment. Limit yourself to ten prompts maximum. No comments except prompts on this post.)

You will see that I've posted some prompts to kick us off that also serve as examples. These are also real prompts that can be claimed. If you have questions as you draft your prompt, feel free to email me at princessofgeeks at hotmail before posting it. You can also send me a DW message.

J/D 4 evah.

Gapfiller between Season 8 and 9. Why did Jack go to Washington? This could be established relationship or a first time, but explain Jack's motives. Pining and NC 17 sex would be a bonus.

From:

Daniel POV...
'May your mouth contain the shapes of strange words.
May you smell food cooking you have not eaten.
May the spring of a foreign river be your navel.
May your soul be at home where there are no houses.
Walk carefully, well loved one,
walk mindfully, well loved one,
walk fearlessly, well loved one.
Return with us, return to us,
be always coming home.'

-- from "Please Bring Strange Things" by Le Guin

I will take this one - thanks!

AU, first time, Daniel is a school teacher in a small frontier village and Jack is the sheriff. Would be great if Janet could be included as the country doctor.

Admin Note: Yes, this is a real unfinished AU that I've had in a drawer for years that I have not given up hope of finishing. But there are never too many Western AUs IMHO.

Fusion with the Star Trek TOS universe.... Jack is a Federation captain and Daniel is discovered injured in the ruins of a city on a planet that has been attacked by an unknown new enemy. Please keep any violence to a PG13 rating.

Episode tag to Season 5 "Menace". What did Jack say to Daniel when they first spoke after the events of this episode? How did they patch up their friendship? Angst and established relationship would be great.

From:

riverfox

Have begun my fic for this prompt. :)

From:

princessofgeeks

Fuck or die! Something happens on an alien planet that requires Daniel and Jack to have sex even though they did not expect that. Unrequited pining in the background would be great. Jack POV preferred. Season 4 would be great. NC 17 preferred.

What would happen if Jack and Daniel are stranded on a deserted planet? Friendship or relationship -- either is great. Possibly use S1 "Torment of Tantalus" as a starting point.

Admin Note: Yes, this is the basis for many classic fic. It never gets old.

From:

princessofgeeks

Darkfic using Daniel's character from S4 "Absolute Power." Including dubcon would be a bonus.

From:

princessofgeeks

Post-canon curtainfic. Daniel and Jack are in an est rel and living in Washington. Perhaps Daniel stumbles across the cigar box we see of Jack's mementos in S1 "Cold Lazarus." Weaving this into the brief glimpses we see of the two of them in "Stargate: Universe" would be a bonus. Please fade to black for any sex scenes.

I want this! Want, want, want.

Post episode fic dealing with Daniel autospraying the symbiote tanks. Ensemble cast encouraged, Jack and Daniel focused.

From:

badfalcon

Jack doesn't realise what his feelings for/toward Daniel are until he finds out Daniel is dating another man.

From:

badfalcon

Established relationship, set S9 or 10. They haven't seen each other in a while. Sex with clothes on/partially on, sex standing up (including against a wall)

From:

badfalcon

During Need, while all hopped up on Sarcophagus, Daniel decides to take ownership of Jack. Dubcon. Jack still all dirty and sweaty.

From:

a 5 times fic - 5 ways other people discovered that Jack and Daniel were in a relationship

I'm in for this one.

It's the small things - the small things he noticed that changed how he felt so what will he do about it now.

From:

peaceful_sands

The First Steps - they'd been friends now his feelings were changing and he's falling in love but what should he do now, because a confession would change everything

From:

peaceful_sands

They've not been together long as something that is more than just friends or team mates, but something from Daniel's past is getting in the way of it being an easy transition (e.g. abandonment issues or being 'different' on Daniel's part)

From:

Episode tag to Prototype.

Jack worries about Daniel pulling that trigger but he's got it all wrong, so very wrong.

"I haven't lost a minute of sleep over killing Kalek. So, tell me, Jack, what does that say about me?"

From:

Coming in last minute to claim this since I know it'll be ready for Aug 1!

From:

sg_wonderland

Jack is shocked when he gets the paperwork on the sale of his house. Yeah, there it was in black and white, he'd sold his house to Dr. Daniel Jackson.

From:

sg_wonderland

AU. Surely there was some mistake. His agent couldn't have signed Jack (master of country cooking) up to do a cross country tour of burger joints with Daniel Jackson, up and coming French chef. The two of them, cooped up in a tour bus for six weeks. One of them was bound to kill the other.

In this AU Catherine isn't there to offer Daniel a job after his (in)famous speech about the pyramids and the aliens. Therefore Daniel has to find another way to earn money. He opens a small restaurant. Shortly afterwards Jack is a nearly daily customer there ...

From:

antares_dw

Jack and Daniel go on vacation as team mates and friends. But something during this trip makes them realize that they both want more than mere friendship.

From:

antares_dw

Jack's young clone who knows exactly how 'old' Jack feels about Daniel, thinks that it is time for a bit of match making.

From:

sg_wonderland

I shall claim this one in the name of Wonderland, sovereign of all her eye beholds. ..

From:

Post-Menace: A taxi ride in DC goes awry and J/D realize that their discordant feelings for each other hide a bigger truth. Any rating; realizations happen in the Taxi.

I'm offering up my SG-1/Firefly Fusion universe as the platform for a new story.
Previous stories are:
Just a Whore (Explicit, 700 words)
Good Tea (Explicit, 700 words)
Jealousy Ain't a Color (General, 2000 words)

Basic premise of the universe: Jack is Mal, Daniel is Inara; you can probably imagine what the relationship is like from there. ;)
