- Fic, vids and art are welcome for this section of the challenge. I remember with great fondness the Harlequin SGA works of yore, so I'd love to see a blast from the past from this fandom! :D

WE CAN DO BEAUTIFUL THINGS with prompts like this Dec 13 - Captured By a Viking! OR A Wedding in Paris OR The Rake's Wicked Proposal OR Shotgun Grooms

Sign-ups end November 21st for these prompts!

ALSO, we're closing out our advent calendar with a week of STOCKING STUFFERS so be sure to see if that looks like fun to you as well. Sign-ups end this week Tuesday the 16th for this section of the challenge.

If you're not interested in being an author, we also are looking for betas and cheerleaders. We've also got a prompt post open where you can offer prompt ideas for any Hewligan story you'd like to see written.

Only authors and artists will be permitted to join hewliganbigbang, however all authors, artists, betas and cheerleaders officially signed up are welcome and encouraged to join hewliganlounge. hewliganlounge has resource material for David's and Joe's various shows/movies, and will be a place for authors, artists, betas and cheerleaders to discuss whatever they wish in regards to this challenge and Hewligan in general.

The minimum word count for this challenge is 20,000 words.

Your stories must be betaed by at least TWO betas.

Your art should be betaed by at least ONE beta.

Your story cannot have appeared anywhere else online. If you're planning to expand a shorter story that has appeared online, you're free to do so but you must remove the story from the internet until after the challenge is over and the story you are expanding cannot be more than 3000 words (the exception to this is a WIP that has NOT been posted anywhere online).

We are a warnings friendly challenge. This means your stories/art MUST contain ALL appropriate warnings. If you desire, we can hide the warnings under a color block, or you can place the warnings at the end of the story with a note in your header of where to find them, but the story MUST contain all appropriate warnings.

This challenge will NOT accept incest or underage pairings. This includes two characters not related by blood but who were raised as siblings. For the purposes of this challenge, underage will be under 18 years of age.

If you're interested in taking part, authors can sign-up in this post.

The Hewligan Big Bang!!



hewliganbigbang

The Hewligan Big Bang community is accepting prompt suggestions from now until August 18th. Prompts can be pairing specific, or they can be vague enough to fit any Hewligan pairing.

Ever wanted to see a story where Brendan was the psychic in Thoughtcrimes? Or a story where Rodney never blew up five sixths of a solar system, but actually got the Ancients' weapon to work? What if David Worth had survived the Cube and Alex DeMouy was assigned the task of telling his story? Ever wanted to see a story where Joe and David meet first, before Katherine and Jane came along? What about a story where the Atlantis expedition never happened - would John have ended up working for the SGC anyway, would Rodney still be in Siberia?

The sky is the limit for suggestions. The suggestions will be compiled and a list of prompts will be offered to those interested in signing up. The more prompts, the better!

This Big Bang is open to ANY Hewligan pairing - including John/Rodney and Joe/David.

Once the prompts have been compiled, a complete time line will be posted to the community.
