Summary: Write a fic where the Atlantis Expedition had no contact with earth for several years. Then, suddenly, the Atlantis Expedition and the SGC, or whoever you want to represent earth, reestablish contact.
The Expedition has accepted their fate and settled in Atlantis. Earth was lost to them and Atlantis was lost to Earth. Show how being stranded in another galaxy changed people and their relationships. What about those who were left behind on Earth? How will they cope now that their loved ones aren't dead? Are there children in Atlantis? Has it become some kind of colony? Will the Expedition allow Earth or the IOA to control them or are they a separate entity?
It's up to you.
Any rating.
Pairing: Sheppard/Weir (of course)
If you include SG-1 characters, then the Old SG-1 team is prefered. It would be great if it's a longer fanfic but not necessary.
Summary: Write a fanfic where Elizabeth ends up pregnant from a drunken ritual on a planet. To John, of course - except it turns out that she was artificially inseminated. I would like to see how they would cope with it. It is not to be a pre-established relationship. THANKS!!!
Summary: Write a fanfic where John and Elizabeth change bodies to feel what the other one has to go through, kind of like Freaky Friday. It must involve some enemy, whether it's the Genii, Wraith, or something else. Any rating.
Summary: Write a story about a young adult coming to Atlantis from the future- John and Elizabeth's child. I know it's been done, so I’m gonna make it a little harder, the story must involve special genetic enhancements (such as faster movement or even things like growing wings).
Summary: Write a story about John Sheppard having the worst day of his life, but it has to be on his birthday. It can be set either on another planet or on Atlantis itself.
Summary: Please write a fanfic about John taking Elizabeth to a high school reunion. Please be filled with lots of happy John and Elizabeth shippyness and containing the following conditions: must have a mention of a banana, a reference to the movie The Matrix, and a red dress.
Summary: A story with a song by Rascal Flats or a really cute love song! Elizabeth has to realize her feelings for John, or they are already in a relationship and one of them contemplates their relationship. Another choice is that John sings Elizabeth a song about his feelings, or he sings a song without knowing she's listening, and they both admit their feelings.
Summary: An Atlantis version of Divide and Conquer. John and Elizabeth have to admit their feelings for one another. Include all the these characters: John, Elizabeth, Rodney, Teyla, Ronon, Carson and Zelenka.
Summary: Write a fic where Elizabeth is unable to sleep due to either too much coffee or a drug injection (for an injury) and enlists John's help to tire her out. Any rating is fine.
