[personal profile] pinkfinity has a wonderful idea. I am on board.

See: help_haiti

Bid on fics from me for charity* and help Haiti.


SGA, SPN, Merlin, HP (slash and gen only). Minimum donation, um, $5 for ficlet of 1,000 words or less. $10 for longer stories. I'm offering three fics of up to 7,000 words each. Your pairing of choice, prompt of choice.

I'm willing to consider some microfandoms if I know the show or book.

* I take no responsibility for the rhyme.
icarus: (Happy Rodney by Monanotlisa)
Yes! Wahoo!

*Icarus leaps the shrubbery, and pauses, winded.*

It's true! It's true!

gblvr says she's insane, but the 2010 SGA Big Bang has launched.

It's a new comm, new website, but same challenge: 40,000 words of SGA fic with art drawn for your story: atlantisbigbang.

The SGA Big Bang tradition shall continue unbroken.

Go. Friend the community. And rejoiceth.

What I love about fandom?

- Things like Sweet Charity and help_haiti.

- The joy in writing our silliest stories. John Sheppard from Stargate Atlantis as a Dragonrider? Sure! Coming right up.

- The help we offer each other so freely. Editing each other's work. Providing specialized info such as translation, Latin, Czech history, choreography, military details. You name it, anything you need for your writing, it's all here and available.

- The personal support in our community/ies. Offering a couch to crash on, or a pat on the shoulder after a rough day.

- The truly excellent writing out here in the cow patch hiding under a cloverleaf.

- The intelligent analysis and scholarly awareness of what we have in this subculture and in our stories. Fandom is not being discovered after the fact but is being well documented as we go.

- The online structure we've built to make these stories available: archives and online comms and rec-lists and challenges and storyfinder comms and newsletters and ... I want a 3D model of this. It's constantly evolving, taking advantage of new technology.

- The enthusiasm and responsiveness of our readership. Other writers, unless they've made it big, don't get this kind of attention and eager encouragement.

- That fandom makes it fun to write.
