Today was the first check-in for the SGA Big Bang, and there were various questions and answers which I shall copy-paste here for your enlightenment.
- What pairing (if any) are you writing?It's probably going to be very gen-ish, but pairings will include: John/Cam, Lorne/Parrish, various others both het and slash
- What's your basic plot?Ahahahah, plot? Well, I have a few plot
ideas, but I'm still a bit undecided as to which on to use. The first idea, and the one most likely to be written, is a history of the Lantean-Wraith war. I tried this before but it (a) peatered out and (b) was rather badly written, so this would be a chance to redo it completely. It would, of course, feature certain familiar faces beyond Ancients like Chaya, Moros, and Helia, due to my odd love of John as an Ancient. The biggest problem is that I'm not sure how much people would be interested, given the detached nature.
Idea 2 would be "The Continuing Adventures of Team Lorne" as a sequel to
SnaG-22, featuring the Winchesters and mini-Jack. This would be pretty fun to write (probably more so than 'the Wraith eat everyone') but I have no idea what I'd do for a plot. Possibly something involving Ruby, Lilith, Castiel, and Michael. It might also feature Skipper and Spencer Griffith, as they are awesome.
(Actually, Idea 2b is "The Awesome Pegasus Adventures of the Griffith Twins".)
Idea 3, and least likely, is my rewrite of "First Strike" and "Adrift" in my Cam-in-Atlantis universe. The problem there is that (a) I don't want to wait that long to post it, (b) it might not be big enough, and (c) it wouldn't stand alone as well. This is the fall-back position.
- What's your word count so far?Well... I have a couple of potential outlines....
- Which of these descriptions best describes how you're feeling about your story?It's fine so far. My June semester compressed course is over, so now I have time to actually write. Hurrah! And I managed 62,000 words for my
stargate_summer fic
SnaG-22 in less time, so I'm sure I'll be fine.
- What's the part of your story that you're most looking forward to writing?No idea, but I'm sure I'll figure it out sooner or later.

On a mostly unrelated note, I have been working on what was supposed to be a series of small scenes of stuff that happened to various characters in the space between "Welcome to the Madhouse" and my next important Discontinuity-verse fic. It's now passed 10,000 words, and that's before I decided to just go ahead and toss in the "Bounty-rewrite" fic where those bounty hunters crash a holiday (either Easter or Memorial Day, depending on what fits my timeline better). That's mostly written... and will probably add another eight thousand or so words. So, uh, yeah, so much for short.
