The 12 Days of Christmas Challenges
Here is the by day breakdown of the "12 Days of Christmas" challenge that were issued.
DAY 1: To start the 12 Days of Christmas Challenge, we chose 4 words. Tinsel, Meltdown, Power, Frozen, Bonus: Fruit Loop.
DAY 2: Someone saw something Christmas related that they are having a hard time convincing themselves it actually happened. Eg…Jack/John saw something on the radar screen at NORAD/Atlantis that he will NEVER convince himself was real.
DAY 3: A story that has one of the team members reflective or apprehensive about Christmas.
Why? Maybe a past moment in their life? Maybe something pending?
Could be funny or not...
This has the potential to be both.
DAY 4: Teal'c/Ronan/Teyla/Vala hasn't *quite* figured out what Christmas is all about. What were the misinterpretations?
DAY 5: Whew…Day 5…Thought we'd throw a 4 word and bonus challenge in, to keep you all on those Christmas bell toes of yours!
Coal, Chimney, Chestnut, Dangle. Bonus word: Hallmark.
Now, to make it a little bit more inter-rest-ing Bonus phrase: "You'll shoot your eye out!"
Remember, it's all fun, so use 1 of them words, all of the words, or just the phrase…Up to you and your Christmas thoughts!
DAY 6: Today's challenge, should you choose to take it, is as follows…Rodney/Daniel refuse to discuss Christmas gifts with anyone, and someone (insert your character) has to discover why! This is an example only and you can use which ever characters you please.
DAY 7: A *character* you choose compares people he or she meets to the reindeer names. Maybe a courier he thinks of as Dasher, and another guy who, after stepping on people's feelings and then overwhelming them with apologies, is called Dancer…and so on.
DAY 8: Bad Christmas Gift- What did they get that was ohh so bad!
DAY 9: Okay, so, today? How about…A Christmas party!
Where was it held? Why was it held there?
Make it simple or unusual. EG – In the infirmary.. Stuck in a puddle jumper?
Sam or Rodney's lab during a lockdown? Off world maybe? Lots of possibilities to explore.
DAY 10: Today's Challenge is work this phrase into your story.
No use complaining! I just didn't see it!
It can be the opening line or the last line…Up to your muse!
DAY 11: I'll be home for Christmas... Not.
One of the team is away from home and may not make it back for Christmas. How do they cope; how does their team feel; do they make it home after all.
DAY 12: Sometime in the past, one of the team members (you choose who on SG1 or SGA) saved a higher being from death.
The being was extremely grateful and said they would repay them and vanished.
On Christmas Eve, that being returned to visit this person and granted them a wish.
"You may rewrite one event in your friend's life, but it will only be true while they sleep.
However, when they wake tomorrow morning, they will feel more happy and whole than they have ever felt before!
This is my gift to you."
What did they wish for and for whom?
