This year, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
apocalypse_kree has prompts for all three Stargate shows - SG1, SGA, and SGU. Whatever your Stargate preference, they can provide!
The prompt list is found here and you get to pick your own prompt. There are all kinds of character-focused, pairing-focused, team, and gen prompts available - and even most of the pairing-focused prompts are "if you want" rather than "you must".
I recommend going forth and signing up!
I'm debating whether to sign-up for this. I've completed almost none of my non-reciprocal stories this year, and my desire to write original fiction is growing stronger. My actual writing ability, however, seems to be getting worse, which presents a painful contradiction: the more I want to write original fiction, the less capable I feel of actually doing it.
It's also getting harder to write SGA fanfic. My focus was always on Teyla, and the handful of people who actively liked Teyla (as compared to all the people who think she's great but who wouldn't even contemplate writing a story with her as a major, involved character) have long since packed up and left for other fandoms. Of those that remain, very few are interested in anything to do with her - most stories are still about John and Rodney, and if Teyla and Ronon are included, it's almost inevitably as support staff at best, rather than as main characters doing something to help the plot along.
I know, the Teyla Thing-A-Thon is coming due in less than a week. We can hope for good stuff there - but even when there's good stuff, nobody reads it and the majority of people don't comment on it.

I love Teyla! I just wrote a fic with her as the main character. It was fun :D There can never be enough Teyla stories, even if the fandom is getting smaller. And I'm looking forward to the Teyla thing-a-thon. Will leave comments, I promise.
You sound like you need some hugs and chocolate *hugs*
Your writing isn't getting worse, you're just more critical. That's normal :) And if you want to write original fiction, go for it! I hope you'll still post it because I'd love to read it, but whatever makes you happy.

Thanks so much for the encouragement, though. :)
