skidmo_fic | The envelope, please.

The party was a success. Food was consumed and the end of an era witnessed *wipes away single tear*.

I received an overwhelming response to my request for names, and the decision was a difficult one.

In the end we called it:

Torte of the Ancients with Chappai'icing

Which means that the winners were

debris_k and

cosmonaut_elf. Congratulations!

We also chose three runners-up (in no particular order):

catherfina for "Starcake SG-1"

kaziwren for "Kree!"

eotu for "Gate"au

The winners will receive custom fics of at least 500 words, and the runners-up will receive custom fics of at least 250 words.

So, winners and runners-up, please reply to this post with a)three prompts b)up to two genres you'd like to see c)up to three things you don't want and d)your chosen pairing.

And as a quick reminder of things I can't/won't write:

-no McShep, Sheppard/Weir or Sheppard/Teyla (I'm just not sure I could do it justice)
-no Lorne/Kavanaugh or Lorne/Sheppard
-no femmeslash (I like it well enough, but I suck at writing it)
-no Michael/anyone or Wraith/anyone

Thanks to everyone who participated in this silly, little excercise. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did.

Oh, for anyone who's interested, we also had:

Jaffa cakes!

ETA: For any interested parties, the cake was a simple boxed cake mix. The frosting was plain white frosting with various food coloring added. (I believe they used black with a bit of blue for the gate itself.) And this is the recipe for the Jaffa cakes:

1 cup sugar
1 cup lard (I used vegetable shortening)
1 cup molasses
1 cup cold water
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ginger
dash of pepper
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda
flour enough to roll out

Roll rather thick for soft cookie. Sprinkle with sugar and bake at 450 degrees for 5 minutes.

This is the recipe as I got it from my mom. "Flour enough to roll out" is always more than I think it will be (way, way more), and it makes 5-6 dozen (read: lots and lots of cookies). Lately, I've been adding slightly less flour than you'd need to roll them and have shaped them into balls instead and flattened them with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. It seems to work very well and is much less time-consuming than rolling out the dough and cutting them all out.

Holy Hannah! Triple points for the Jaffa cakes! :-)

You didn't mention if the cake was good ;-)

Thanks!

And the cake was very, very tasty. We actually saved it for yesterday and had it as a pre-birthday, birthday cake for me :). My tongue is still a little blue this morning.

Yay, I won!! It was completely unexpected, I mean I didn't even get a comment and then... *turns and runs around screaming like some cute actor-type-crazy-(hot)-guy we know*

Also, the Jaffa cakes *killed* me! *vbg*

Now, to choose, to choose... hmmm...

a)three prompts
- well, I'm in the mood for fluffy schmoopy things like comfort, tvu luv, love&understanding... yes yes, I make myself barf from all the sugar too. ;-P So: comfort, understanding, first kiss. Or. Something like that. *pulls face at self*

b)up to two genres you'd like to see
- slash and slash? and romance? *enticing grin*

c)up to three things you don't want
- partner ridicule or put-down in any way, shape or form; established relationship issues; harcore kink in sex (daddy/son, BDSM, the like)

and d)your chosen pairing
- I'd *love* to say Rodney/Aiden Ford (pre-enzyme), 'cause I've never read anything of the sort, but I don't expect miracles in 500 words :-) so I'll settle for Rodney/Ronon (or Rodney/Radek, if the Czech is easier for you).

Also, if the cake & cookie recipies are anywhere near vegan-izable, could I have them please?

Congrats! I was trying not to comment on people's suggestions to avoid possible accusations of bias :).

I'll try to have all the fics done by the end of the month, but I may go a bit longer than that. I'll comment here to let you know when yours is finished.

The cake itself was from a box, so I'd imagine that some sort of egg-substitute would be all that is needed to vegan-ize it. I added the cookie recipe to the post. I used vegetable shortening instead of lard when I made them, and other than that, I think the recipe actually already is vegan (though, as I'm not actually vegan, I could be mistaken). :)

Thanks for the heads up; off to read the recipe now. ^.^

First one done! Here (http://skidmo-fic.livejournal.com/22797.html) is your fic.

The cake looks so yummy. :) Thank you for liing my suggestion.

Three prompts: 1.Carson is hurt, but survives with the help of Ronon. 2. What Ronon feels after another of his loves, Carson, has been killed. 3. How Ronon and Carson live happily ever after because Sunday never happened. :)

Two generes: Hurt/Comfort or Angst

Three things I don't want: 1. A story centered on John or Rodney. 2. No stupid/insipid/weak Carson. 3. No Ronon as a caveman type.

Chosen pairing: I think you'd know by now, but I'd love Ronon/Carson.

Thank you so very much. :)

Great! And thanks for helping with the whole naming process. I'm shooting for the end of the month as a "fics to be finished by" date. I'll comment here to let you know when yours is finished.

Here you go (http://skidmo-fic.livejournal.com/23378.html). I hope it's angsty enough for you. I cried a little when I was writing it :(.

I'm sorry I made you cry. I'm just so torn up over Sunday. I've pretty much given up on SGA except for fic where Carson is involved. I appreciate you writing this and it was exactly what I was wanting. If that makes you feel any better. So, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

It was a good sort of crying. And it was helpful to show someone mourning. They just sort of skipped over that part in the show, which was too bad really. No one really seems to miss him. So writing this helped me feel a little better about it. :)

LOL! I can't stop laughing! I wish I could have tasted those Jaffa cakes, though. Yummy! So, for my runner-up fic:

a)three prompts
- kilt
- smoke
- courage

b)up to two genres you'd like to see
- first-time slash or romance
- angst/HC friendship

c)up to three things you don't want
AU anything; gender/species swap; mpreg. And sneaking this in: PLEASE no character death.

d)your chosen pairing
Any of the following is gonna make me squee:
Carson/Ronon
Carson/John
John/Ronon
Carson/Rodney
Radek/Ronon

THANK YOU!!!

I'll try my best not to kill anyone off in your story :).

I'm hoping to have them all finished by the end of the month, and I'll comment here to let you know when yours is finished.

OMGZ! Skidmotalkedtomeh!

*fangirl squee*

I love your work (I've commented on it before) so YAY ME!

Hee! I have a fangirl! That's so awesome :).

And thanks. Aww...you made me blush.

Fic for you (http://skidmo-fic.livejournal.com/23769.html#cutid1)!

Jaffa cakes?! w00t! Very clever.

My 3 prompts:
- courage
- secrets from the past
- yearning finally satisfied

genres:
- AU
- Cave-fic (any situation of "alone together by unfortunate circumstance" is OK)

Things I don't want:
- Mpreg
- Non-con
- Gender-swap

Chosen pairing:
- McKay/Lorne

So looking forward to it. Thank you!

Yay McLorne! That was one of my very first slash pairings. It may even have been my first, actually. I'm going to try to have everyone's fic finished by the end of the month, and I'll comment here to let you know when yours is finished.

Here it is (http://skidmo-fic.livejournal.com/24016.html). Enjoy.

*grins* Woohoo! Hmmm... Three prompts... Ok...

1.Rain, blood, off-world accident (preferably lots of Carson whumping)
2.Couple is captured by whoever and have to escape.
3.Mpreg! With something going wrong (of course!)

Two genres:
h/c, action

3 things I don't want:
1.Lots of fluff
2.Death (it can come close, but I want them to liiiiveeee!!!) :)
3.Bondage (except when captured) and all that dominatrix stuff (or whatever you call it with men)

Chosen pairing:
Beckett/Lorne (or Beckett/Dex if you can't write Lorne)

*laughs* I'm not so good with the prompts, but I definantly want whump. Hmm. I might be a little messed up... :D

I'll do my best on the whumping. I don't know that I've written any before.

And I can definitely do Lorne. Lorne is my go-to fic guy. I sometimes wonder if I can write not-Lorne ;).

I'm hoping to have all the fics done by the end of the month, and I'll comment here to let you know when yours is finished.

It took me a little longer than I'd planned, but here it is (http://skidmo-fic.livejournal.com/23277.html).
