Adapted from various places around Elle-Jay:

1) List 10 characters of any gender (I went for a 50-50 split, which tilted the list a little shippy YMMV):

1. Sarah Connor
2. Veronica Mars
3. Sam Carter
4. Aeryn Sun
5. Helen Magnus
6. Kyle Reese
7. John Crichton
8. Teal'c
9. John Druitt
10. Logan Echolls (it was a coin-toss between Logan and Wallace. I went for the angst over the pure of heart. And I hate myself just a little for it)

2) Write a fic of 25 words or less for each of the following prompts:

1. FIRST TIME: #4 & #6
2. ANGST: #7
3. AU: #1 & #8
4. THREESOME: #3, #6 & #9
5. HURT/COMFORT: #5 & #10
6. CRACK: #1
7. HORROR: #10
8. BABY FIC: #5 & #9
9. DARK FIC: #2 & #8
10. ROMANCE: #4 & #7
11. DEATH FIC: #2 & #3

Bonus - Author's choice: #8, #5, #9 & #1

3) Write 12 fics totalling not more than 300 words:

FIRST TIME: #4 & #6
Aeryn's stomach tightened as Kyle's hands covered hers, his breath hot in her ear: "Aim just up and to the right of the eye…".

ANGST: #7
John takes D'argo's knife to cut a lock from Aeryn's hair for remembrance. He wishes he had the nerve to cut his own throat too.

AU: #1 & #8
Teal'c held out his hand to the frightened young woman: "I require you to accompany me if you are invested in your continued survival."

THREESOME: #3, #6 & #9
Sam would do anything for Kyle, to keep him alive and safe - even tolerate Druitt, his eyes moving over her body with too much familiarity.

HURT/COMFORT: #5 & #10
Magnus damned Tesla as she told the weeping boy in her arms he was not responsible for what had befallen the dead girl before them.

CRACK: #1
"Come with you if I want to live? Hell no, shotgun boy - are you out of your freaking mind?"

HORROR: #10
Logan couldn't imagine anything worse than watching Aaron fuck Lilly until Dick came to him with a video of Veronica he just had to see...

BABY FIC: #5 & #9
Everyone has weaknesses and John was her great, unforgivable weakness. Looking into her son's eyes, Magnus allowed herself, this once, to not give a Goddamn.

DARK FIC: #2 & #8
As a snakehead caught and dragged her towards the glowing pool of light, Veronica realized her dad had been right about joining the air force.

ROMANCE: #4 & #7
"So..." John said. Pulse bolts blasted the wall above their heads. "Next year you choose the planet?"

Aeryn smiled and returned fire: "It's a date."

DEATH FIC: #2 & #3
Sam found Mars emptying Hailey's locker: "I thought I was used to losing people." Sam sighed, "This is something that should never get old, Lieutenant."

Author's choice: #8, #5, #9 & #1
"Why prevaricate, Helen? Admit that you can't do without me."

Magnus slapped Druitt's hand away, "I swear on our daughter's memory, John, if I did not believe that the very survival of life on this planet were at stake, I would not have you in my home again for any reason."

"Spare me your moralizing." He turned from her in a swirl of leather and threw himself down on the couch. "You're ready enough to use my skills when it suits you."

"Doctor Magnus. Please, we don't have time for this crap." Sarah stood by the computer, Teal'c at her back.

"Very well. Now is neither the time nor the place." She turned to John and held out her hand. "I apologize."

The speed with he joined her at the desk filled Magnus, as always, with guilt. John Druitt was her man and he would do anything for her. Yet she could neither reform his murderous habits nor end them permanently so his crimes stained them both. She turned to Sarah, "Please, tell us what we need to do."

Sarah back and gestured for Teal'c to take her place by the bank of monitors, "General Carter was able to get Teal'c schematics of the facility where we believe Skynet is housed before she was arrested."

Teal'c called up the plans on the overhead monitor. "Colonel Carter speculated that augmenting the Skynet Control System's base program with Goa'uld technology will cause the anomaly that Sarah Connor predicts."

"Anomaly?" Sarah slammed her fist down on the desk. "If we don't do something that 'anomaly' is going to wipe out 3 billion lives in less than 48 hours."

Teal'c acknowledged her point with a tilt of his head. "Nevertheless, it remains that the intended purpose of the Skynet Control Program is to protect the planet Earth, not cause its destruction."

"I don't give a crap," Sarah began to shout. She was dangerously close to a physical and mental collapse and Magnus worried that she would exhaust herself before they had completed the task before them.

John's voice, hot and silky in her ear, broke into her thoughts: "Well, Helen. Are they telling me you brought me here to fix a computer? Wouldn't your scruffy apprentice be better suited to the task?"

Magnus stepped out of reach and favoured him with a sharp smile. "I didn't ask you here to fix anything, John. I asked you here because I know no one more skilled than you at causing destruction and mayhem."

"You flatter."

"Hardly." Her expression compressed until it was harder and sharper than diamonds. "But we are going to destroy that computer, John. If it's the last thing we do in this life."
