Six weeks to go. Three options for Atlantis Big Bang:

Which one to write?

1. Black Jewels Atlantis: John/Teyla, est. length ~40,000
- got a few more scenes in...and stalled again
- was going to do this for scifibigbang

2. Astonishing Persistence of Memory: John, team, John/Teyla, est. length ~60,000
- I didn't think I could, but I can probably nut out the scenes better and go back to writing this
- it would fit nicely after writing the other two for the previous years' bigbangs.
- it's scary big and long and I'm not sure that I have all of it laid out in my mind

3. A Matter Of Survival: John&Teyla, H/C, "duetfic", might turn John/Teyla at the end, est. length ~40,000
- capture and survival story, reliance, interdependance, and maybe a little bit of Stockholm
- would require a lot of reading up on the situation and I can't find the books that I was going to use as references

I need to pick one and concentrate on it and I'm all scattered about right now.

Thoughts?

#1 because I love your take on the Black Jewels stories
#3 because it sounds very interesting

But to make it easier on you (and because I'm greedy) #1

Heh. I have a feeling Black Jewels will come out the winner, but I am once again inclining towards Astonishing Persistence.

The problem is that fandom needs more John/Teyla generally, both AU and normal U, and there's just not enough time to provide it all...

I'm quite fond of the Black Jewels au, but I think I've mentioned that in the past. I suppose, and this will be completely unhelpful, it depends on whether you think you can push past the problem you were having in APM. I really like APM series and I see a sort of nice symmetry or whatever the correct word is, in writing it for the Atlantis Big Bang, since the other two in the series were posted in that...

Not to say I wouldn't love to see the third option, but my vote is for one of the first two.

I've decided APoM for Atlantis BB, and then Black Jewels for Scifi BB.

Now, if only I can get it all written!
