The Pentangular Gate

With apologies for the day's delay in unveiling!, the responses to our most recent set of five-things prompts have been unscreened:


Five times Daniel surprised Vala.

Five times Vala surprised Daniel.

Five things Cam never expected to learn about Samantha Carter.

Five times love or lust caught Teal'c off guard.

Four hotspots on Jack's body that really get him going, and one that doesn't; and why in hell did anyone think that would do it for him?


All responses are now open for reading and feedback, and all prompts are still open to new responses if you feel inspired. (Especially this week, when I was late unscreening, and since this round fell during the run-up to tax day in the States.) You can also use this post as a place to comment with general meta about this round. The next set of prompts will be unlocked and announced on Thursday (brief explanation of the new schedule here), and we're always open to new prompts (one prompt per comment, thanks!).

If you post a new response to any of the Set 42 prompts after this announcement, drop a note here with a link to the response comment. That'll help people find responses that weren't there when they read through right after the reveal. You might also want to post a link from your journal to let your flist know you've got something new up to read. Thanks!

We hope the prompts we put up as an April Fool's gag on Tuesday and the responses people posted gave you a smile, and like all other prompt sets it'll stay open for new responses, so feel free to add humorous lists to it whenever the mood strikes.

We're taking this opportunity to rejigger our posting schedule a bit. Screened responses will continue to be revealed on Mondays as usual, and the next prompt sets will post under lock shortly thereafter to avoid friends-page flooding, but from here on the new prompt entries will be unlocked on Thursdays instead of Tuesdays. This will give people a little extra time to read and feed the current responses and provide a couple more days for the writers' responses to shine before they're eclipsed by the newest prompts.

In accordance with the new schedule, the new set of prompts has now been unlocked:


Five times Daniel surprised Vala.

Five times Vala surprised Daniel.

Five things Cam never expected to learn about Samantha Carter.

Five times love or lust caught Teal'c off guard.

Four hotspots on Jack's body that really get him going, and one that doesn't; and why in hell did anyone think that would do it for him?


Instructions and helpful linkage are in the prompt entries. The screened responses will be revealed on April 14th, just as they would have been before. Happy five-thingsing!
