Grumpy Beastie's Other Lair

romancingmcshep’s fest (McShep and happy endings only) will start posting February 14 through February 29. They already started posting their daily McShep Advent Chocolate Box reveals on the first as a lead up to the event. This year’s chocolate box is full of wonderful podfics.

sga_saturday is hosting their companion fest, Romancing SGA, “For all other SGA pairings (and McShep unhappy endings), Any pairing, any state of happiness is welcome.” Posting is also February 14-29.



AND

stargatefests is hosting Romancing SG-1, which is for SG-1 & SGU.
Running parallel to the other two fests, Romancing SG-1 will have fairly broad guidelines:

The focus should be SG-1 characters but crossovers of any type are welcome!

Posting will be February 14-28.

You can define 'romance' any way you want: truuu lurve, first time, happy endings, sad endings, strong friendship, friends to enemies, whatever. Nothing is off the table.

Any SG-1 characters, any length fic, any type art, any podfic. Whatever you'd like to do!

You are required to use AO3 warnings.

For all three:
Posting of art, fic (drabble to epic is welcome), podfic, moodboards, playlists, is open on the respective DW account and/or on their Ao3 collections.

These are things going on this season that still have open sign ups (as far as I know), but hurry on some because a couple have fast approaching deadlines.
