Things I'd like: Team. Gen. Canon or AU (slight AU or total). If canon - set in season 3-5. If AU then set in/with characters from either season 4 or 5, and contemporary please (unless you are confident you can pull off historical AU withou inaccuracies). Story set mainly on Atlantis or Earth, not off-world. Humour or crack. An unlikely to be granted request would be a Eureka crossover where the SGA and Eureka universe is the same one (making light of the shared actors). An SG-1 crossover might be fun. Animals (not dogs) would be a plus point.
Things I wouldn't like: Anything that isn't gen. Character bashing. Whumping. AU where Atlantis has cut off ties to Earth. People with ATA gene able to control Atlantis/lights, doors with their minds and Sheppard’s gene being more equal than others for day to day stuff. Language beyond what is used in the show - ie no swearing. Something with lots of Elizabeth. Magic/fantasy/wizards/vampires, ghosts etc. McKay and Sheppard declaring themselves or consciously thinking as each other as best friends (even if their behaviour indicates otherwise). Something set in season 1-2. Something that deals with the events of "Trinity". Clichés like "Harvest festival", or "team member disobeys local law with bad consequences", or "team member/s has to take part in local ritual." Death fic unless it’s an OC and not the focus of the story. Fic written in 1st or 2nd person. McKay’s allergy/hypoglycaemia being serious. Medically icky/graphic descriptions. Hints of Ronon/Keller that go beyond canon. Lots of US culture in jokes /sport references (I'm European and wouldn't understand them all)
What I can do: Gen. Canon, or AU. Team or character focused (but please not Weir). Crossover with Eureka, SG-1, West Wing, Scrubs.
What I can't do: Slash, het, whumping. Really broad "Things I'd like prompts" because I do not want the stress of last year if at all possible, thank you. See “things I wouldn’t like”, apart from the clichés – those I will do, if I can subvert them.
Pinch hitter?: At the speed I write? *bursts into laughter* That is to say "no - unless you wanted it in time for the 2009 Secret Santa".
