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 ;-)

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

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?

[catherfina.livejournal.com]

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. :)

Kree!
