Stargate Atlantis Secret Santa 2012

Pinch hitter 1: Likes McKay/Sheppard, AUs of all sorts, especially What If AUs. AUs that have them with an age disparity. Rodney as a teen meeting an adult John is a particular weakness. Alternate versions of John and/or Rodney having sex with canon John/Rodney. Main squicks are: noncon, 'gay for you' stuff, sex without affection.

Pinch hitter 2: Mitchell/Sheppard or Carter/Sheppard for preference but also Chuck/Woolsey, McKay/Sheppard, , Beckett/McKay and many other secondary pairings it's okay to include. SG-1 crossovers welcome. Likes ship fic. No femslash pairings as the main pairing, but secondary pairings fine.

Pinch hitter 3 (wrote three pinch hits): McKay/Sheppard, loves team fics and Teyla and Ronon being present and being awesome. Stargate AUs and transformation fics especially welcome.

Pinch hitter 4: Sheppard-centric fic. Sheppard/various pairings (Sheppard/Vala, Sheppard/Dex/Emmagan in particular) or gen. No Beckett, McKay or Weir as main characters.

Pinch hitter 5: Lorne/Parrish or Lorne-centric gen. Loves minor character fic.

Pinch hitter 6: McKay/Sheppard, Keller/McKay/Sheppard, Emmagan/Weir (it seems that this pairing is one of those 'always asks, never gets' ones :D), Lorne/Zelenka, Dex/Zelenka, Cadman/anyone but Sheppard or McKay, Chuck/anyone. Main do not want is McKay or Sheppard paired with anyone else.

Trying to keep them anonymous as far as possible, so I've paraphrased where I can. And our final pinch hitter didn't sign up but is quite happy not to submit prompts, so a round of applause for them instead is in order, I think :D

Okay, now I really can collapse in a heap, or at least take my son out for a walk before he forgets what fresh air tastes like. I'm planning to take tomorrow off from modly duties, so please don't panic if you don't get a reply within 24 hours to any submissions for Madness as we usually do :)

Have a lovely Christmas, everyone, and Happy Holidays!

As was the case last year, we're pulling out the prompts supplied by our pinch hitters in case anyone wants to do something special for them during Santa Madness. Dear Pinch Hitters, please note that this does not guarantee you a story or any additional stories. But shy bairns get nowt ::g:: Everyone else, please note that this is just a nice part of Santa Madness, and you can find details in the post linked above (i.e., no need to claim, no min word count etc).

ETA: Okay, I'm screening comments just in case anyone accidentally outs themselves :)

I'm splitting them down into those who pinch hit even though they never signed up for the exchange, and consequently don't have any story at all, and those who did originally sign up for the exchange and therefore have at least one story already.

Brief enticements shown in the cut tag, details behind the cut.

The Bold, The Beautiful, The Unfulfilled: Pinch Hitters without a story

( pinch hitter 2 [wrote three pinch hits, including one on Christmas Day!] - Sheppard-centric slash/threesomes/gen )

( pinch hitter 11 - gen, team-centric )

Please note the number of the pinch hitter it's for in your story notes, in the recipient field, and we'll let them know which one they are.

This fest owes a lot to our fabulous pinch hitters, some of whom didn't even sign up for the original fest so don't have a story! So, in case you were thinking of contributing to the madness and were looking for inspiration, I'm going to ask that our pinch hitters either submit a prompt in the comments to this post (which are screened) or point me to their original prompts if they still want that (in the memories of the comm if you've lost it ::g::) and I'll do a post pulling them together.
