It's that time again! Let's BATTLE!

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

Hello everyone! It seemed like a good month (with halfamoon running and all) to celebrate our favorite fighter pilot again.

Submit your prompts for the Second Kara Thrace Gen Fic Battle right here!
 

This is a prompt-driven GENERAL fanfiction battle revolving around Kara "Starbuck" Thrace. 

General fanfiction may include allusions to romantic relationships, maybe even employ romance as an element to illustrate a larger theme, but, romance, or the lack of it, should not be the point of focus for the story.

Action-Adventure, Friendship, Humor, Angst, Comfort, all of these are good categories to explore. Kara could lead a mission, make a sacrifice, exact revenge, solve a mystery, confess a secret, come to a decision, teach a student, go on a quest, reflect on a mistake, celebrate a victory, learn a lesson, question an order, save a life, or roll the hard six (just to name a few options). The possibilities are endless.

(For samples, see the 46 stories created last time.) 

Prompt sub starts: February 1, 2010

General Rules:

Prompts may be simple words, phrases, concepts, or quotes you’d like used. I heartily encourage specific and unusual prompts.
Sample: zombies, happiness is a warm gun, “You win some, you lose some”

Submit as many prompts as you like as often as you like before Feb 4 at 11:59 PM EST. (Please do not edit posts, but add any additional prompts after your first post in a new comment.)

Get your thinking caps on and HAVE FUN! I'll post a master list of all prompts sometime on February 5 and open up a thread for fic posting at midnight on February 7.

And please spread the word about us to Kara fans far and wide! The more participants, the merrier!
