Has it been one of those weeks? It sure feels like it--some of us have Really Bad Weather, others have work-related awfulness, and still others may not have had the best weeks in their personal lives.
I can't count the number of people I've talked to who are discussing the time-consuming nature of their lives, and who then moan about how they're supposed to be writing Some Big Fic. Okay, that's well and good, but isn't fanfic also supposed to be fun?
Anyway, I'm going to start a fic tree. The idea is simple. Someone writes a drabble (for today's purposes, this is between 100-500 words, even though I normally believe that drabbles are exactly 100 words, but that's a debate for another day). The next person builds off of it somehow. This can be a sequel, or more of a remix, or with a different pairing, or in a different fandom, or crossing over the story with another fandom--it's ALL FAIR GAME.
No rules, but here are some guidelines
1) Anyone can start at the top level. If you don't see anything that catches your attention, start a new thread and make something else happen.
2) Label your threads and responses with general warnings (ie fandoms, het, gen, slash, and if there's "adult" content).
3) Anyone is welcome to play. If you don't want to use your lj name, or don't have one, that's fine, too. I'll turn anonymous commenting on (although I'm leaving IPs to be registered--which I won't look at unless there's some sort of problem).
Don't wait for me to start it, either. I willwork on play with something, but I don't know what, yet, and I definitely don't have it written!
Have fun!

Xlormp/Stargate SG-1, warning for extreme grossness.
Date: 2008-09-12 04:49 pm (UTC)From:SG-1 had all trained their weapons on it the moment they first set eyes on it.
"Daniel?" Cam asked, grimacing as a lump of slime dripped to the ground.
Daniel shook his head, but Sam replied. "Never seen anything like it." She made an audible gulp.
Vala felt nauseated herself. "Can we kill it yet?" she asked.
"It is possible that the appearances of this creature are deceiving," Teal's said, but he sounded doubtful.
"Greetings, Earthlings. I am Xlormp." A tentable reached out toward them as if the creature expected them to shake it. Sam wiped a hand on her BDU's at just the thought.
It focused its gazes on Vala. "You would make an admirable girl-slave. You would be protected from the Tallybonkers."
Vala's hands tightened around her P-90. "No thanks, but...no thanks."
Cam mouthed tallybonkers? at Sam, who shrugged.
Its eyes narrowed. "You would refuse the honor of being my girl-slave when I would protect you and your friends from the evil scurge of the Tallybonkers? You are a fool." It bobbed sickeningly toward Vala.
"Oh, hell no," Cam said, taking aim.
The next few seconds were a blur--there was a whining overhead, but before it reached them, Xlormp lay in tiny, slimy pieces at the feet of the team, shredded by the hail of bullets they'd unleashed. The whining grew louder. SG-1 looked up and, as one, hit the ground. A small ship crashed where Xlormp's remains lay, turning the whole clearing into a smoking ruin.
SG-1 was, miraculously, unhurt, although they were followed home by a sort of blue, wispy cloud.

Date: 2008-09-12 07:46 pm (UTC)From:"Never heard of them." Aeryn reached for her pulse rifle, just in case the Xlormp were deadly. Aeryn liked deadly things. She could shoot them without anyone complaining.
"I heard they're encroaching on Scarran space." John shrugged. "Thought I'd see if they could give those guys a run for their money."
"A run for their--" Aeryn shook her head. "Stop being ridiculous and finish the repairs on my prowler. D'Argo isn't going to be asleep for much longer."
"Little D can wake up and have shooting lessons with his mama, then," said John. "In case any Xlormp show and try to take over."
"Right, then," said Aeryn. She settled back against the wall, keeping one eye on John, and another on their child. "You just want me out of your way so you can work in peace."
"Way more entertaining with you around, baby," said John, sliding back under the prowler. "Way more entertaining."

Date: 2008-09-12 09:53 pm (UTC)From:Their hosts had somehow misunderstood Daniel when he asked for the team to stay together; they shared one enormous bed, with Daniel relegated to the last 12”. At least he didn't have to sleep next to Vala.
Daniel pulled his caffeine-deprived carcass up off the floor and stood with hands on hips. This might have seemed more threatening if it was any one of them but him.
"Bad dream?" Daniel asked, sarcasm dripping from both words.
"Nah, just...weird."
"What?" Sam croaked.
"Of what was your nighttime reverie, ColonelMitchell?"
"Tell us a story!" The fake excitement in Vala's tone suggested more irritation than interest.
"We gated to some planet where we met this squishy, slimy...creature with tentacles. This Xlormp wanted Vala to be his slave girl."
"Oh, really?" Cam couldn't tell if Sam was more irritated that he was actually telling them his dream or that the creature wanted Vala instead of her. She propped up on one elbow and rested her head in her hand, though.
"Yeah, he promised to protect her...us...from something called a Tallybonker - God knows what *that* was."
"Did we kill it?" Vala asked hopefully.
"Yeah...blew it to bits with our P90s."
"Good. Can we go back to sleep now?" Daniel looked longingly at the sliver of bed open to him.
"But that's not all.” Sighs all around. “Some ship came flew over and crashed into the Xlormp slime bits. We gated home with this blue mist sort of trailing after us."
"Blue mist, huh?" Sam mumbled.
“Perhaps your conscience is bothering you for eating the last blue Jell-O in the commissary yesterday,” offered Teal’c.
“Hey!” Sam punched Cam in the arm with her free hand. Cam dropped his head forward in resignation.
“Did it influence us to do anything we wouldn’t normally do?” Daniel asked warily.
“Nah…the next thing I know, I’m on a space ship, not one of ours. Not a Goa’uld Mother Ship either. It seemed…alive. Vala was there – only I called her Erin – and had a baby called Little D.”
“Oh, REALLY?” Vala sparked up at the possibility of making babies with Daniel.
“Yeah, I was repairing a smaller ship, asking her about Xlormps scarin’ people. I…think…I called her ‘baby’ at one point and told her how entertaining she was to have around.”
“You like me? You really, really like me!” Cam’s head fell forward again.
“Can we go back to sleep now?" In response to Daniel, Cam and Sam laid on their backs, leaving no room for the whiny archaeologist. “Hey!” Cam grunted and turned on his right side; Sam spooned up behind him and Teal’c behind her. Daniel had no choice but next to Vala. “Behave,” he grumbled.
“When have I not?”
Xlormp/Stargate SG-1/Tallybonker
Date: 2008-09-12 08:24 pm (UTC)From:The Tallybonker made one more victory lap and then zoomed down to thank the destroyers, who were already moving through the portal. It followed the last one through, and then found itself in some sort of underground facility.
"Um, Colonel Carter, what's that blue smokey stuff behind you?" came a disembodied voice. The Tallybonker spent a moment trying to locate the speaker before noticing that all the humans were now looking at it. Busted, the Tallybonker thought, and then morphed itself into humanoid shape. Other races liked it better when the Tallybonker approximated their form. Made for more comfortable communication anyway. It then turned to the light-haired one and introduced itself.
You, they, what?!?!?!?! (SG1, Jack as Colonel)
Date: 2008-09-12 08:04 pm (UTC)From:"Jack."
"They?!"
"Jack!"
"What?!"
Sam and Teal'c stood patiently. Their heads moving as watching a game of tennis. The current arguement between Jack and Daniel had been rumbling on since they had left the temple confines. Sam gave a sigh and looked at the DHD that Daniel was meant to be dialing up, perhaps she should just do it herself. It didn't look like Daniel would be doing it anytime soon. As he was currently gesticuling widely at the Colonel, whoes grip was tightening on his P90.
SG-1, gen, warning because apparently I'm on a horror kick today.
Date: 2008-09-12 08:37 pm (UTC)From:Jack poked at the man with the toe of his boot.
"I don't think you should do that, Jack." Daniel was wiping down his glasses. They had been sprayed with saliva and blood from the man as he grappled with Daniel. Jack thought it was kind of gross, and possibly dangerous--what if that guy was carrying a virus?
He glanced worriedly at Carter and Teal'c. Teal'c was holding a bandage over Carter's neck. Carter looked almost as awful as the dead guy. He'd attacked her, first--she'd been alone and on her way to meeting them at the 'gate. They'd come running at the sound of gunfire, only to find the guy literally attached to her neck with his teeth. He'd torn away as they arrived, Carter's blood in his mouth.
Jack hadn't needed to give the order to fire.
Carter had been passed out. Jack had Daniel stick with her while he and Teal'c had made sure there was no more immediate danger. After that, Teal'c had taken over with Carter while Daniel and Jack examined the body.
Carter moaned and tried to sit up, but Teal'c pushed her back down with gentle pressure on her shoulder.
"O'Neill, I have stopped the bleeding."
Finally.
He went over to her, and she managed to focus on his face. "You know, Carter, if we're going to end up in a horror movie, the least you could do is find a guy with a cape."
She smiled wanly. "I knew I was forgetting something, sir."

Date: 2008-09-12 10:54 pm (UTC)From:She was still wearing her suit--except for the jacket, but that had long since been hung up to wait for when she left. Her shirt was unbuttoned and hanging from her elbows. Her skirt was bunched around her waist, underwear shoved out of the way as Tony thrust into her, her heels putting her at more or less the right height.
She tried to hold on, but the shirt was making it difficult to move her arms enough, and when she attempted to shrug out of the shirt, she somehow ended up with her arms above her head, hold there by Tony's hand.
"Just stay still, Ms. Potts," he said, in the same voice he used with the robots in the workshop, concentrating on something to the point of being distracted with everything else.
Yeah, like Pepper was going to let him get away with that. She caught his gaze and held it while she ground her hips against his.
His breathing hitched. He smiled. "Or that." He shifted and pulled out a little, coming back in with a stroke that had Pepper dropping her head against the wall behind her.
"Fuck, Tony," she said.
"You kiss your mother with that mouth?"
Pepper finally managed to get out of one of her sleeves. She grabbed Tony's shoulders, and he lifted her up, waiting until her legs went around his waist.
"Shut up and fuck me," she said.
He did.

Date: 2008-09-13 03:10 am (UTC)From:"I think it's Thanksgiving today," she said as she neared his position.
He turned to look at her. "Really?" He took a bite of the fruit in his hand.
"Well," she said, lowering herself to the ground next to him. "I'm not completely sure. But I've been trying to keep track, and … well, I think I'm close, at least."
"Huh. Well, Thanksgiving on Atlantis. We're not missing much. Those birds they bring in from P8A-993 are definitely not turkeys. And canned cranberry sauce's got nothing on my mom's homemade relish."
"Still, it's a bit more traditional than fish and …"
Lorne waved his fruit. "Are you kidding?" he asked, sitting forward. "We, Jennifer Keller, are celebrating with the first fruits of the land. How much more traditional can you get?"
She laughed softly, stretching her legs out in front of her and pointing her toes. "I suppose you have a point."
"Now, missing Halloween. That bothers me. Couldn't you have told me when it was Halloween?"
"So you could dress up and beg the trees for treats? Or those," and she waved her hand upward at the branches, "flying squirrel things?"
"It wouldn't be the wildlife I'd beg for treats." He waggled his eyebrows, and she slapped at his arm. "Though actually I was thinking more along the lines of ghost stories by the fire. You know, the kind that make the girl get all scared and need comforting."
"Oooh." She grinned. "Hold me, Major."
"Whatever you say, doc." He slung an arm around her shoulder companionably and glanced back at the lake.
"Shall I scream?"
His head whipped around, and for several seconds his mouth hung open slightly as he stared at her. Then his expression transformed into a smirk. "Should've figured you for a screamer."
Jennifer felt her face flush. "Oh! No no no. I didn't mean … I mean … I just meant, you know, for atmospheric effect." She wiggled her hands dramatically. "The scaredy-cat girl and all."
He reached up and batted at the end of her nose with a finger. "You're kind of cute when you're flustered."
She blushed redder, and he grinned, pulling her nearer as he settled back against the tree and turned to look at his fishing lines.
"So," Jennifer said, relaxing against him, "we're just going to sit here and wait to see what shows up for our big dinner?"
He shrugged. "Sure thing. It's a holiday, right?"
"Hmm." Scooting a bit closer, she laid her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. "Yes, I suppose it is."
