mcshep_match and cliche bingo, a.k.a. fandom = <3
I've been having fun over the past week reading all of the fabulous drabbles being posted at the
mcshep_match Drabble Challenge, and I've even managed to sneak in some writing in between rounds of bar study flashcards. If you're in a drabble-y mood, definitely check it out! And you can be a mercenary drabbler for either team -- competition's neck and neck right now, so I'll nudge you gently in the direction of writing for Team Peace, but with 350+ drabbles already, both teams have made an excellent showing!
(Oh, oh, and check out the gorgeous Team Peace icon
monanotlisa made! You can see the gorgeous full-size banner of the image here at her journal.)
Also, because you needed another bingo card post on your flist:

This is definitely giving me some (vague) ideas! I'm not really sure what the "beauty" prompt is (or is that just fic where someone is ~startlingly beautiful~?), and I'll want to go look over the full list of prompts to see what I might use in that wild card square, but on the whole: this is going to be fun! Once I'm done with the bar and can have a life again, I mean.

Also, pfft, you are totally on the wrong

Nooo, I am not officially affiliated. I was sorely tempted, but I will be in GERMANY and such, so it wasn't really doable this year. But

What's this awful teen lit you have to read? Is your teen lit class picking bad books?

And, yeah, I won't be reliable for beta-reading, sorry. But you can definitely have some sporadic cheer! *\o/*

And we now shall imprison* team SGA1 in this ambasatorial suite** and release you upon the dawning of the morn with an invitation to a sumptuous (and allergen-free) breakfast!
*turns out to have been a glitch in the 'Gate's translation software. The actual word in the local dialect translates to 'invite with great honour, pomp, and circumstance'. (Rodney didn't get along with these locals very well. But they mostly thought he was an idiot savant because he sputtered and waved his hands so much, thus they mostly patted him on his head--metaphorically-- and let him do whatever he wanted as long as someone else on his team was there as his minder)
**two bedrooms (equipped with two chests of drawers and one large bed each), one bath, one traditional lounge. Too bad for Sheppard's dignity-- nay, his virtue!-- that traditional lounges on this particular planet have slate mosaic floors, many small wooden stools and several small wooden end tables of various heights
Sadly, this is ever so believable in SGA fandom :)
Pardon me, I seem to have fic-outlined all over your comment. Ooops?

YOU GOT FOOD! I had forgotten that that was an option. I can write stories involving (and revolving around) food! I might have to steal that one for my Darth Vadar of the Caf square. (You can have my 'sleeping arrangements' to become 'supersleeping arrangement man' Hmmm, that doesn't work so well.)
My guess on the beauty prompt is that really it's anything to do with beauty. Things like really beautiful, really not-beautiful, beauty-in-the-eye-of-the-beholder, the extreme beauty of his forest-green orbs which make Mary Sue just fall in love with him, and so on and such all.

"Anything to do with beauty" sounds about right, and I've also got the "physical imperfections" square, which could make for an interesting two-sides-of-the-same-story kind of back-and-forth, though of course they're not in line at all!

but now you've got me thinking.
And this is why I love the interactive nature of journaling sites for fandom. We get to have thinky conversations!

Oooh, does sound interesting! I'm comforting myself with the idea that it is not forbidden to continue to write things for these prompts after August end. And if you get really ambitious, there's always the 'double-line' option :)
