I need some ideas for one-shot SGA (or even CSI:NY) stories. Anyone have any requests? Something they would like to see or read of? The reason I ask is that although I'm working on two fics right now - Wayfarers and a joint project with Drufan - I get the desire to write something different from what I'm currently writing now and then. Kind of like taking a break. Plus with the joint project I write every other chapter (the odds this time) so it's not like I'm constantly working on it (although it does take precedence). Wayfarers is an "at my leisure" fic as well as an experiment in planning a story out as I go, so it's not something I'm constantly working on. Most of the time I'm planning it out.
The thing is is that I'm hoping to get a laptop very soon and I don't want to start any bigger writing projects (original fics included) until I do. I'm not the only one who needs to use the computer at my house, but the desire and inspiration to write comes spordaically for me. Half the time, when I finally do get in the mood to write, someone else is either on the computer or needs it. It's very frustrating.
So until that times comes, except for the two previsouly mentioned projects, I'm holding off on writing anything big. I've been taking part in challenges and find that I enjoy them. I don't know what it is, but it seems easier to come up with and write stories based on prompts than it is coming up with my own ideas. My own ideas either become too complicated or too long (thus me always trying to give the ideas away to keep me fromt writing them). With the stuff I'm working on now, when I do get the desire to write, I'm usually not ready to write them as I'm still working them out. So if anyone has suggestions for one-shots, stories they would like to read, something they would like to see happen, drop me a line. Make a request. Just nothing slash or romance and remember that I am primarily a Shep-whumper. And be warned that I may take your request or I may not. Please don't be offended by this. It's all a matter of whether or not I can work with it. If it tries to turn into a chapter fic, I may have to scrap it (I allow for three chapters fics but draw the line at any longer).
If I do take the request, I'll probably post the story at Stealth Dragon's Lair, then later at FF.net if I feel like it, maybe elsewhere but definitely at the Lair. Where ever it gets posted, there will be a link.
I swear I'm not actually bored. One shots keep me away from chapter stories, that's all.

Maybe a quick shooting, or bear-mauling, or something sufficiently painful. :) Anywho, how about...the word "frustration" and a missing gun? Heehee, this is fun. Anyways, feel free to ignore me. If you want. Or not. See ya!!

Date: 2007-05-01 05:19 pm (UTC)From: (Anonymous)This gave me the idea of Sheppard and his team being captured with one of their captors having it in for Shep. Wanting to humiliate him, the thug tries to do some fondling or whatever to Shep in front of his team (nothing too dark or graphic!), and then Shep breaks the guy's fingers (or nose, or any other body part ;)). This would of course result in more whumping *insert evil grin*, but I think it would also deeply embarress and humiliate Shep to have something like that happen to him in front of his team. I think it would really piss him off, for one.
So I guess I'd like to see something like that happen, with Shep having to deal with being humiliated in front of his team. I mean, breaking the thug's fingers would of course be very satisfying for Shep, but I still think he'd have a bit of trouble looking his team in the eye for a little while. And I'd imagine Rodney'd be feeling rather awkward about the whole thing as well!

Date: 2007-05-02 09:49 am (UTC)From: (Anonymous)I think the team being witness to it is what would make it so humiliating for Shep. Alone, it would be easier to get over and to forget because no one he knows/cares about will have seen it happen. But when his friends, his team, are right there watching the whole thing- I think he'd have a tough time trying to get over that.
Please do let me know if/when you come up with something :) Looking forward to it!

Date: 2007-05-03 02:20 pm (UTC)From: (Anonymous)I've always found the ending about the hardest part to write in a story, especially when the story doesn't necessarily call for a happy ending. I mean, I love happy endings, but you're right, sometimes they do need to end where not everything's back to the way it was before. Of course I want the characters on the road to recovery or almost recovered at the end, but if something traumatic happened to them in the story, it would make sense that it'll have left them changed for a while after. Like you said, it's hard to balance everything not being fine and letting the reader know the characters are going to be okay.
Good luck! I'm looking forward to reading this!

P.s. So, you finished yet? :P
