Welcome to the Maria Hill Comment Fic Fest - a chance to write a bunch of ficlets about the woman who single-handedly rescued Captain America, the Black Widow, and the Falcon from death at the hands of HYDRA with nothing more than her brains, a stun-wand, a laser-cutter, and balls of pure titanium.

Instructions
1. Leave a comment containing a prompt, scenario, or quotation to inspire someone else. If you want to leave characters or pairings in addition to Maria, then add them in!

eg.
Maria & T'Challa, understanding and responsibility
Maria, gen, We are made to persist. That's how we find out who we are. (Tobias Wolff)
Maria/Steve, sex in uniform up against a wall where there's the fear of discovery

2. Pick a prompt. Write a drabble (100 words exactly), ficlet, fic, novella, or GRAND EPIC TALE about Maria from that prompt.

3. Post it/link it to the comment-fest, putting the title/character/pairing/rating in the subject line.

eg.
MCU: "Killing In The Name Of" by Tielan - Maria & Natasha, R (violence)
Ultimates: "If It Wasn't For Those Damned Kids" by SelDear - Maria, G
Comics: "UnPleasant Hill" - Maria/Steve by SueLinley, PG-13

4. Do it all over again!

Any incarnation of Maria is okay, any pairing/threesome/moresome with her in it, any additional characters - so long as the story is about her!

There are no deadlines, no requirements to leave prompts or to fill, and no pressure to perform! (Although I hope many people will - more Maria love is always needed throughout fandom b/c she is freaking AWESOME.)

There will be two posts where prompts can be left - LiveJournal and DreamWidth - and anonymous commenting is allowed and unscreened on the Fic Fest post so anyone can post a prompt or link to a fill! If there are enough fics, I might start an AO3 collection if there are enough fics for it on AO3.

Advent fic: 2nd December, 2007

TITLE: Precisely My Cup Of Tea
SUMMARY: Over time, you learn all kinds of things about yourself.
CATEGORY: AU, genderbender, femmeslash, girl!John/Teyla
RATING: PG-13
DISCLAIMER: The characters are borrowed, not mine, and no money is being made from them.
NOTES: For the sga_genderfuck FEMSLASHED! challenge. With extreme thanks to triciabyrne1978 for the sleepy beta on a Saturday night!

( Precisely My Cup Of Tea )

My brain is fried. Anyone got bacon?

Gimme two characters (or the team) and a prompt. No pairing guarantees.

ETA:
nsi_meepers asked for Lorne, Elizabeth - office (gen).
beaniesheppard asked for John, Ronon - gym (gen).
writerrising asked for Radek, Teyla - mainland (gen/UST).
triciabyrne1978 asked for Evan Lorne/Kate Heightmeyer - couch (het - NC-17).
roguish_angel asked for John, Teyla - babies (gen/UST).
ubiquitous_girl asked for Elizabeth - courage (gen).
greenconverses asked forTeyla, John - guitar (gen/UST).

And I'm done! No more prompts being taken!

This is my "Say You, Say Me" challenge!

Write an Atlantis ficlet: 100-500 words - any character, any story idea - and I will write you one back, 'remixing' it in the process.

Only one ficlet per person.

Leave character and one-word prompt for ficlet. Ficlet will be at least 100 words but prob'ly not over 500.

Check the comments before leaving your prompts. If there are still two 'active' prompts for a character (ie. I haven't yet written the ficlet) then pick someone else.

Will try to be humourous, but am feeling distinctly blah, so cannot guarantee frivolity.

ETA:
Rodney: cheddar, Seattle
Ronon: retrieve, haircut, ballroom dancing
John: high heels
Michael: decades
Elizabeth: headache
Teyla: hickey, peace

Don't suppose I could eke some more comment fic out of people? I'm feeling flat and 'orrible right now and could do with a pick-me-up.

Teyla, team, John/Teyla, Teyla/Rodney, Teyla/Lorne, Teyla/Carson, Teyla/Zelenka, Liz/Ronon, Rodney/Ronon...?

You write me one and I'll write you a ficlet in return. Team or any friendship, most pairings (exceptions: Shep/Weir, Shep/McKay, Ronon/Teyla).

Y'know, given the number of slashers on my f-list, I'm kinda surprised that nobody's ever requested a slash ficlet of me during one of these challenges. Of course, I may be making the erroneous assumption that anyone would want a ficlet from me.

--

Got my sga_santa challenge. This year's challenge seems even more Shep/McKay centered than last year. I'm almost beginning to think that someone should organise something along those lines for the non-Shep/McKay group - it's a little intimidating to look at the comm and realise that 9/10 requests are Shep/McKay and that you don't like them or don't want to write them.

Then again, I guess that's what ficathons like The Holiday Ficathon over at john_teyla are for!

/pimp

Am tired and feeling stale and bleak and crappy and unNaNo-esque. So comment, people!

TITLE: Deadwood
SUMMARY: Teyla remembers screaming as a child, with her hand coated with her father's blood.
CATEGORY: Vignette
RATING: PG-13
NOTES: When I asked for prompts, six months ago and more, irony_rocks suggested Teyla remembers screaming as a child, with her hand coated with her father's blood. I wish it was more polished. The story went through several incarnations and even now, I'm not satisfied with it, but I don't presently have the presence of mind to put it together in a way that will make it 'proper'. Sorry about that.

( Deadwood )

TITLE: The One Who Wasn't There
SUMMARY: John remembers being told about Eskimo settlements in Alaska that were found abandoned, without a living soul in them. This is worse.
CATEGORY: Angst, hurt/comfort, John/Teyla
RATING: hard R
SPOILERS: It's kinda negated by what happens in The Return, but oh well.
NOTES: This was requested by Kim-the-anonymouse waaaaay back in March or April 2006 when I offered to write ficlets to prompts from my f-list. She wanted John/Teyla with the prompt, "Teyla's the last of the Athosians." And then things got tricky. At any rate, it's a bit longer than a ficlet at ~3,600 words, and also fits in with the fanfic100 challenge, prompt #63 - Passing.

Thanks to dzurlady for the beta!

( The One Who Wasn't There )

Set me a genfic challenge: pick one of three characters - Teyla, Ronon, or Carson - and set me a prompt.

I'm frantically writing hetfic, but I need something to offset it - too much hetfic and everything starts feeling the same in my brain. I need something to balance it out - and Teyla, Ronon, and Carson don't get much love in comparison to other characters. The prompt can be a quote, a phrase, something a character says, a situation, or a list of things - just keep it short.

Yes, the other characters will turn up in the challenges, but I want to write something about the 'minor three' characters, because they get lost amidst the love for the 'big three'.

ETA: I'd like it if people prompted something for Ronon or Carson, too!
