Okay, so you can't write 40,000 words of John/Teyla, Teyla/Lorne, or Ronon/Keller fic.

Fine. I still love you! (Sort of!)

But I'd love you more if you'd go in and offer to cheer and beta for myself and the half-dozen others writing John/Teyla and Ronon/Keller (and Rodney/Keller and a number of slash pairings) fic! No, really, I would...
Especially since I count four or five John/Teyla Big Bang sign-ups and no cheerleaders for John/Teyla at all. (The same situation stands with Ronon/Keller - and, hey, you guys actually have a fandom on LJ!)

Come on, peoples! You can slog read through 40,000 words and offer suggestions/critique/advice! You can put up with our moodswings cheer us on as we struggle against the tide of storytelling!

Do you want more fic about the rarepairs in fandom? Y/Y? Then offer to be pokers and prodders, cheer squads and soccer moms (except, you know, without the abuse of the ump, cos that spoils it for everyone), and sign up to be a cheerleader or a beta for the rarepairs. You can be specific about who you're cheering for, you know!

I'm kinda *sadface* that none of my prompts made it to the final list, but I do have an idea with one of the ones they proposed. I'm just going to...subvert it a wee bit.

Incidentally, since I suspect the John/Teyla writers are all watching this LJ, would you guys like to form a support group? Complete with whatever cheerleaders and betas we can scrape together?

(saeva, I know you're doing Teyla/Lorne, but I think you'd be welcome, too!)

I would offer to beta/cheerlead, but I'm already doing the work of 3-4 people this spring and summer. :(

[tielan]

Aww. *hugs* Hope the workload eases up. We'd be glad to have you around to egg us on whenever you can, though!

[amathela.livejournal.com]

I wasn't aware that you could sign up to cheerlead separate from beta-ing (which I so don't have time to do), but I've signed up now :D

[tielan]

\o/

Cheerleading would involve things like nudging along the writers, pointing them in the direction of porn fic art distractions help when they're stuck on a plotbunny and can't get off. :)

And, you know, possibly writing little ficlet-y things of the characters making out or being silly, just to cheer the writers up! (Optional, of course, but gratefully accepted!)

I like the support group idea although I'm not exactly sure what that entails.

[tielan]

It's pretty much a group of people who are all in the same boat - writing 40,000 words with no idea of how to get there.

Or, the opposite, getting to 40,000 words...50,000 words....60,000 words and asking, "Oh help! How do I get off this bunny?"

(Don't laugh, it happens!)

Details of the support groups are here at the comm.

i could definitely do cheerleading as i really don't have the time or energy for anything nowadays.

[tielan]

*hugs*

Cheerleading is fine.

*marks you down*

At first I thought the 40,000 was something near impossible for me to even think of doing. However, I just finished my second Ronon/Keller fic, and it's over 20,000 words, and a sequel's already in the works, so I guess it's not that impossible after all. Still I can maybe I can muster up some cheerleading for someone else. *shrug*

[tielan]

Maybe write a Ronon/Keller fic and a John/Teyla fic and merge the two? :)

Cheerleading would be wonderful.

Hi.

So, I will be in Jordan, which is why I haven't volunteered to beta, but I will be cheering in an unofficial capacity.

I don't think I can do 40,000 words on a deadline because I've never done 40,000 words and I am leaving the country for two months. I am writing Teyla/Lorne, though. It's...new!

[tielan]

YAY for Teyla/Lorne! :D

Maybe you'll be able to sign up for the Other Het section next year?

[ladyjax.livejournal.com]

I'm already beta'ing an OT4 submission but I'll be a cheerleader for you gladly. I don't know if they'll officially let me sign up for it but I have no problems with giving you a push.

[tielan]

*smooches*

I think we've got a fairly Teyla-centric group happening, so it's looking good. But we'll take all the Teyla fans we can get!

[madjm.livejournal.com]

OK, I signed up as a beta for J/T or Ronon/Keller, with a side order of cheerleading. Hopefully that will still leave me time for sleep. And also for writing something I told agriope23 I'd do.

:)

[tielan]

Woohoo! The more the merrier!

And also for writing something I told agriope23 I'd do.

Well...get on with it! :D

[ryf.livejournal.com]

I can't beta, but I'll sign up for cheerleading :)

[tielan]

Cheerleading is awesome, too.

[agriope23.livejournal.com]

The support group sounds like a great idea. I predict that it'll save my life at some point between now and July 14th. 40,000 words! And all because I decided to be more ambitious!

[tielan]

Nothing wrong with being ambitious! Nothing at all!

*looks at her commitments and sighs*

[skandrae.livejournal.com]

I have signed myself up to cheer. Must pull out the old cheering handbook now, work on some routines ^_~

[tielan]

I noticed that you're doing sga_reel for Paperback Hero. I nearly did that one myself!
