Artist: almost_clara
Title: Periphery
Medium: Photoshop artwork
Pairing(s): none
Notes: Begun over a year ago for the Artword community, shelved when my writer partner unfortunately had to withdraw, completed (well, almost) for this challenge. Close use of references from Stargatesg1971.com

Title: Peripheral
Wordcount: ~7,000
Rating: PG
Pairing(s): none (gen)
Summary: Radek struggles, sometimes, with the feeling that he's an outsider to the closeness that Sheppard's team share. Offworld rescue missions tend to put things in perspective, though.
Notes: Many thanks to almost_clara for her inspiring art, and to perspi for invaluable brainstorming assistance! And thank you to mashimero for running the exchange, and especially for being a patient and understanding mod when I turned out to be an extremely scatterbrained writer. This takes place in early season four, before "Missing".

Title: The Firebirds of Calneh: A Rodney McKay Adventure

Wordcount: ~5700
Rating: PG-13

Pairing(s): McKay/Sheppard

Summary: The secret of the ZPMs is revealed! Alas, it turns out that some time over the past few years, Rodney McKay has developed a conscience.
Notes: This story contains some images of violence against animals, so please don't read it if you're sensitive to that. In the fine tradition of the Stargate franchise, I stole my mythology from all over the place, so please don't read if you're sensitive to that, either.
Also, each part of the fic is exactly 550 words long because a) I wanted to see if I could to that and b) I'm just that bored. Many thanks go to neevebrody for her wonderful beta, and of course to bmouse for not only letting me play with her amazing artwork, but for indulging me when I made a hash of it. A huge thank-you also to mashimero for running this challenge and for being so patient with me.
