Weekly Promotion Challenge: Eureka (Television Show)
Welcome to the seventeenth Weekly Fandom Promotion Challenge.
For the next seven days, we are hosting a drabble-a-thon where each entry is based around the chosen fandom. You will be given a set of seven daily prompts tailored to that fandom so you can write at least a 100 word drabble. There is no word limit, so by all means, go over if you like. Next Monday, we will start over with a new fandom.
Fandom Name: Eureka (Television Show)
Fandom Level: General
Pairing: Jack Carter/Anyone, Anyone/Anyone
A Brief Description: One day, a Federal Marshal was escorting a prisoner back to Seattle to be with her mother. Something happens to cause him to wreck and he goes in to town for assistance. That town is Eureka, and everyone in it is basically crazy. More insane, mind blowingly so, stuff happens, and he finds himself as sheriff. His prisoner, who also happens to be his daughter, comes to stay with him. And that's just the beginning of his trouble.
Eureka is a supposedly secret town where all the top scientists in the United States go to be themselves. This causes lots of trouble because like juvenile delinquents, they have no impulse control and let their experiments run amok, frequently. Even their supposed leader, Nathan Stark, is nothing but a loose canon with an ego large enough to crush Texas. Until he dies. Then he leaves a memory large enough to crush Alaska.
Between his side kicks: Fargo, Deputy Jo, and *growls* Zane, that wacky daughter of his, and this crazy, where the fuck did she come from, sister, Jack Carter is not having a good day, thank you very much!

Daily Prompts:
Monday - Jack Carer's daughter is just trouble. There are plenty of examples. Just give us one. Mood: *Teenage Snort of disbelief*.
Tuesday - Eureka has plenty of mad science going on. Is there anything truly beneficial happening? Mood: Optimistic.
Wednesday - You call this an apocalypse? Mood: HSOW (Holy Shit, It's Only Wednesday!)
Thursday - Whatever ends up happening, it's usually to Jack Carter. Mood: Sick Day.
Friday - Even mad scientists need love. Someone has invented Cupid bacteria. Mood: Horny.
Saturday - Alternate Dimension. Something completely AU happens and now everyone is different. Remember this show's canon, AD/AU is possible. Mood: Confused.
Sunday - Jack Carter must save the day with his side kick. There are three, pick one. Mood: Scared.
Reward: All participants get this lovely Eureka 'Gravity works...Oh crap!' icon.
Jerry's Final Thought: Eureka gave us a simple idea, and turned in to equal parts crack and crap. Like every show, it has it's bad moments, but that's why we invented the Memory Remote! Fast forward through those bad moments or relive the good ones! Call now, operators in a parallel dimension are standing by!
