June 2023 MacGyver Flashfic Writealong FAQ

FAQ last updated: May 31, 2023

What is this thing?

It’s a writing “challenge” where you write a flash fic, ideally for MacGyver fandom. By “flash fic” I mean something <1000 words, but like most other “rules” of the writealong, it’s not set in stone. Make of it what you will!

Why are we doing this?

Look, I want to try my hand at writing some flash-sized fanfics (a big change from my 10k+ normal fic size). So I’m inviting all the MacGyver writers to play along with me. It’s like peer pressure, except everybody wins because everybody gets new fics to read. Yay!

How will it work?

There will be a prompt for every day from June 8-June 19 2023, with a “catch up” day on June 14. That’s 11 days of prompts. The prompts will be posted about a day in advance of the target posting date. 

What if I miss the target date? Can I post it later?

Heck yeah! 

Is this a whump challenge thing?

No, write whatever you want. Variety is the spice of life and one of my favorite things about this fandom. ❤️ I’ll probably write h/c but everybody is welcome to play along. Ship all your ships. Smut it up if you wanna. Just tag your stuff appropriately.

What about AI-generated or assisted fic?

This challenge has ONE hard and fast rule: absolutely NO AI generated or AI assisted fic. Write it yourself or don’t participate.

I wrote a thing! When do I post it?

Any time on or after the day the prompts were for. For example, if you wrote a story using the June 10 prompts, post it on June 10 (your local time) or whenever you have it ready after that.

Where should it be posted? 

Tumblr or AO3 ideally. But do whatever you want with your fic! This is supposed to be fun. And maybe less stressful than other challenges? Or more, you decide. 

Is there an AO3 collection?

The collection is June 2023 MacGyver Flashfic Writealong. Please add your story! :)

What about Tumblr tags?

Event tag: #MacGyver Flashfic Writealong

Day tag: #june 10  (for the day the prompts were “for”, regardless of when you post ‘em)

What are the prompts?

The prompts are set to post at 2pm PT (UTC-7) 2 days before the day they’re for. For example, the prompts for June 8 were posted at 4pm PDT on June 6 in that timezone. There are also a few alternate prompts in case the day’s prompts aren’t inspiring you.

Prompts so far: June 8 | June 9 | June 10 | June 11 | June 12 | June 13 | June 14 | June 15 | June 16 | June 17 | Alternates

How do I participate?

Write a thing related to the prompts and post it. :) Tag this blog if you want it reblogged. 

Who’s running this thing?

It’s meeee, @rosieblogstuff. 👋 With big thanks to @authorangelita​ for the header image idea.

2x04 X-Ray + Penny tag: What happens after Mac escapes Murdoc's turture room and emerges from that manhole...

For the June Flashfic Writealong June 18 Prompts: "A bad penny always turns up" and "Help":

Mac’s arms shake as he pushes up against the manhole cover. It’s heavy iron, meant to be lifted from the outside. He can barely manage to keep himself from falling off the ladder as he presses against it. Rumbles come and go from the other side. Cars. The road he’s about to emerge onto is going to be a busy one, but busy is good. Busy means lots of bystanders. He can disappear into the crowd. He can’t hear Murdoc in the tunnels right now but he knows the assassin is down there, still following him. And he can’t go back. He can’t. He can’t.

Some Assembly Required

Filling in a few of the prompts for @rosieblogstuff’s June MacGyver Flashfic Writealong.

Also on Ao3

..

For a genuine, certified genius, Jack didn’t think he’d met anyone as goddamn stupid as Angus Macgyver. The kid had brains and statistics and sheer, unstoppable determination in spades, but even after eight weeks in the field as a government agent he still hadn’t quite picked up the habit of not charging headlong into active gunfire. He’d been warned about it repeatedly and occasionally with diagrams and yet, here they were again. Sure, Mac had insisted that he had a plan and, yes, technically his actions had been directly responsible for both neutralising the gunmen and incapacitating their target ready for capture, but it was the principle of the thing.

He genuinely didn’t seem to grasp that the mission didn’t matter to Jack if it got Mac killed.

2023 Writealong Update

Hi readers and writers! I'm going to be posting an after-event summary soon, but I'm giving it a couple more days for fics before I do an official wrap-up post.

BUT! Even though it is after June 19, please don't be afraid to post anything you're still working on. I've got a couple I'm still working on myself because my work has been crazy (and also because I'm just slow).

Set in Season 6, Mac knocks on Riley’s door for the last time.

Inspired by MacGyver_it-love’s Toast. Can be seen as a prequel to her story.

‘Something didn’t seem right. Riley would have continued to fight for something if it meant a lot to her. Why give up easily? That was not Riles.

No, he needed to see her. Needed to know what was going on.’

The quickest route between the Bozers’ suburban house and the middle school is to cut through the trees that ring Mission City, follow the stream east, cross the 2-lane highway that circles around the north edge of town, and cut through more trees. It’s a good thirty minutes’ walk, although Mac and Bozer cut it down to twenty by jogging part of the way.

They’re almost there when Bozer grabs his arm. “Mac! What is that?”

It’s smoke. Dark gray smoke makes a haze above the end of the stadium. A chill runs through Mac, and for a moment he’s frozen in place. “Oh, no,” Mac finally breathes, and takes off toward the stadium at a run....

Adrenaline surges through Jack's body as he climbs the tree where Mac's stuck upside down from his twisted parachute lines.  Their jump had gone to hell six ways from Sunday.

"Jack!" Mac's panicking and probably close to blacking out.

"I'm comin', I'm comin'," Jack calls back.  His foot slips a couple of times in his rush to get to his partner, but he catches himself easily.

"Get me out of here.  Please."

When Jack finally sprawls himself onto the branch above Mac, he's concerned to see that Mac's face is bright red and his eyes are rolling back into his head.  "Hey, bud, hell of a place to hang out."

Mac is tangled up good and proper, and there's no clear answer to how to get him out of there without dropping him twenty-five feet to the ground.

"Jack?" Mac murmurs, trying to lift his head.  His body shifts, dropping a couple of inches, and he cries out with a startled yelp.

Hallucination is not a great sign. Mac knows this, and he knows he’s hallucinating, but somehow, he just can’t stop letting his eyes wander back to the space along the wall where a hooded cobra dances over a basket. The movement is mesmerizing. His thoughts slip away. He can’t remember who dumped him here, in such an awkward position, half propped-up on something round. His eyelids fall across his eyes like weighted blankets before he can figure it out...
