I'm compiling a list of rarely seen or done whumps. Not to say the whumps listed haven't been done, just not done often. Or, maybe even not done at all. Who knows?
I do not apologize if this list spawns ideas.

Hanging as a means of torture, not death. (Hung until choking, not until dead)
Pinched nerve in the spine or neck - ouch.
Wound to the calf - it's always to the thigh. Why never the calf?
Burst blood-vessel in the eye - not really whumpy but plenty creepy looking.
Giant leeches - I've read two fics that have done this. One of them by the lovely Baroqy.
More parasites! - Yes, it's been done. But, seriously, we can never have enough parasites.
Beaten with a chain instead of a whip - now that's getting violent, and dark. I did that in a story for a zine.
Strung up and left for dead - read a fic that did this, so room for lots more.
I've read fics where something happens to Sheppard and he's almost sent back to the SGC for tests. What if he was sent back to the SGC? And what if the one doing the testing wasn't too kind? Maybe, say, a secret operative for the Trust?
Poisoned - we can never have enough fics about being poisoned, or drugged. They're just so dang fun!
Trampled in a stampede or crowd - need I say more?
Mistreated by an incompetant doctor - I did such a fic and would love to see more stories deal with the same. With Carson being the one to throttle said doctor, of course. Just because he's not in season four doesn't mean we still can't have him in fic.
Runner - Darn those pesky wraith implants (provided by![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
sholio)
Intentional Drowning - Those wacky natives and their crazy forms of worship/punishment (provided bykatstale)
Strangulation - Getting that scrawny little neck wrung (provided bykristen999)
Trapped in a room or cave and there goes the oxygen.
Anyways, that's all I got. Anyone have any I could add? Remember, it's got to be something rarely done or yet to be done. Go nuts with the creativety, people. Let's see what you've got.

Besides mine, there's one slash one I've read that used the John-as-Runner idea, and that's it for the Runners other than Ronon (and, even with him, that period in his life is rarely used in fic). I would love to read more.
There are a lot of things I don't write in stories because the EWWW factor is just too high for me; I'm too busy squirming squickily to enjoy the h/c aspect. But I'm easily squicked, though.

Thigh wounds seem more prevalent lately, which made me think "why doesn't he ever get hurt in the calf?" But that's in terms of recent whumping. Past whumping... well, it's been a while since I've re-read stuff.
I'm actually trying to cut back on how violent I get with the whumps. What I really wanted was a "methods of whump list". Basically, things that would lead to whumping (ex. Being trapped in a room slowly running out of air - oh, I should put that) but my brain had refused to fork anything else up except for extreme stuff.

The intentional drowning sounds cool, had a bunny for that one but never wrote it.
Heck I just like oxygen deprivation...so feel free to write anything where you mentioned trapped in a room while loosing air.

SOOoooo, I in my infinite whumpy, anti-SGA Season 4-mood think it would be great to compile the list of Ways To Whump Shep, along with some links? Or would that defeat the purpose of just tossing out ideas?
If so, never mind, but.. *sigh*.. I need some honesttogoodness Shep Whump to cheer me up and these teasers have me salivating.

Unless you've already been there and done that, then apologies. It's usually what I do when searching out new fic: checking out other people's favorites list. I've actually discovered many a story that had gone unnoticed for some reason.

That's a great list of whump, I have to say! If you write one with the chains idea, Kraidydragon, please let me know!
A belated happy birthday, too. :D
