( thoughts on the movie )

Possibly more thoughts to come later?

The writing's just not happening right now.

First five people to list a character, and a phrase, prompt, or scenario get a drabble. You know the wills and wonts.

eta: Very short and more musings than actual plot.

Teyla, Carson, folk songs for grav_ity
Renee, vacancy for allisnow
John and/or Rodney, stubbed toe for smileleigh
Sam Carter, leather pants, the zen of motorcycle maintenance for chiroho
Martha Jones, human brain (very very short) for beth_soprano

Fandom: Star Trek XI
Title: Fire Of Life
Summary: Nyota Uhura sometimes wondered why she even bothered guessing these things. Find ground zero of trouble in a bar while the Enterprise was in port and you found James T Kirk.
Pairing: Uhura/Kirk UST, implied Spock/Uhura
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: Star Trek, it's characters and concept, do not belong to me.
Notes: Written for ninhursag in the ladiest1st ficathon. I started writing this and then got ideas for a Spock/Uhura/Kirk threesome fic. Not sure it'll happen. Right now, my brain isn't quite working on fanfic tracks.

I would have liked to do more, but it's not always possible

Anyone got an AU idea they need to write? Check out the multifandom au_bigbang!

AU Big Bang requries 15K of words by the 6th April and allows for fusions. Check out the comm if you're interested.

--

Want to write a go at writing an SG1 story? Try stargate_summer!

Stargate Summer requires 30K by the 30th April.

--

I could do at least one. It'll probably be the AU Big Bang, most likely for Merlin (although I'd love to do an SGA fusion that's been sitting in my head for a while). Honestly, I could probably do 2x the AU Big Bang if I set my brain to it. I'm not sure I have the time to do both, much as I'd like to finish my SG1 Honour Bound series (2 parts done and the 3rd part never finished).

Sign-ups on now for the thefuturequeen's LAS/LIMS competition!

Not here, alas, but here's the link.

Great collection of Joe Flanigan pictures all in one huge post :)

Heh, and fitting it comes on his birthday too.

Yes, I come  home tonight, and in the headlights, see an animal skulking across the snow-covered yard. I'm like, is that a dog? No, way too small. Omygod, it's the fox, or maybe it's a tiny coyote. But it booked out of there. And then my headlights go further and there is the dog, sitting there on the patio, looking very happy. Thank god he's fixed! ;)

But, the dog is twice the size of the fox (pretty sure it was a fox as it's been in the yard several times) but will tell everybody to please not put the dog out and forget about the poor thing for hours in the freezing cold, even if he has more fur than a woolly mammoth and as much fat as a seal...

Title: Placating
Summary: He should really lock the door when experimenting.
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Merlin, Arthur, a dash of Gwen
Word Count: ~2000
Warnings: Features cutting and self-harm. But it's not because Merlin's emo. He's just...experimenting.
Notes: For special_schizo in the merlin_santa, who asked for "Merlin inadvertently discovering he's immortal and experimenting with it, with Arthur thinking his servant's gone insane/suicidal". I'm so very sorry this is late - I overbooked myself something dreadful this season! With many multitudinous thanks to my beta whetherwoman for the lightning read-through...and even the request for more. *eyes her*

The first time, Merlin doesn't realise what's happened at all.

Last seen with penknife:

Ask me one fandom-related question in the comments. This can be fandom specific, general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general.

Just one question, please, but it can (and perhaps should) have sub-parts.

Question can be as wacky as you want. Ask me about tv shows, characters, fanfic in general, fandom issues/meta, anything about any of my stories specifically. Whatever you want.

Any fandom that I've ever ficced or reviewed on this LJ or my others is fair game.

havocthecat? Still working on your tv-show!

Under the cut, for size...

All of the stuff at ladies1st - a Star Trek gynocentric ficathon! Although I strongly recommend:

Also, a rarepairing that is made of win:

Snerched from splodefromcute , a great community of cute stuff :)

In total, I wrote four stories for the sga_santa challenge

My assignment for jeyla4ever:
TITLE: Crave The Night
SUMMARY: When John Sheppard's Clan taskforce makes a raid on a Tribe stronghold, he discovers an unexpected prisoner. More unexpected than the prisoner is who she is to him, and what they could be together.
PAIRING: John/Teyla
RATING: PG-13

A pinch-hit for vipersweb (finished 10am Christmas morning):
TITLE: Gulfs Between Him And The Seraphim
SUMMARY: The cultual differences between Earth and Pegasus are neither absolute nor all-encompassing, but they can cause problems.
CHARACTERS: focus is gen, although there's impled John/Teyla, Teyla/Kanaan, Ronon/Amelia, and Rodney/Keller.
RATING: PG-13

A bonus for obsessed101:
TITLE: Sense Memory
SUMMARY: His senses tell him who they are, even if he can't quite remember.
CHARACTERS: team, with Sheppard whump
RATING: PG-13

And the bonus fic for starry_haze:
TITLE: Adam's Rib
SUMMARY: She was already broken when they found her.
PAIRING: John/Teyla
RATING: R for whump

FANDOM: Fire Dancer by Ann Maxwell
TITLE: Faces In Fire
SUMMARY: In every Bre'n/Senyas pairing, a Senyas akhenet must choose their Bre'n, just as, once before, a Bre'n mentor chose a Senyas dancer. But with their home planet destroyed, there's no-one to tell Rheba this. Not even her mentor Kirtn can speak of this to her, she must learn it on her own.
RATING: R

Thanks to whomever sent the plate of cookies. It was much appreciated.

Ah, the amateur videographer is back, with a five second short of a really big hawk (red-tail?) sitting in tree, flying from one tree to another. I shot it with a zoom lens on the digital camera, hand-held, but since it's five seconds, you shouldn't need any Dramamine ;)




And below the cut, some more pictures, of frozen ponds and ... my brand new pet jellyfish!! :)

2008 Fic Round-up Post O' DOOM
2007 fic post of doom

I'm still not entirely sure how I managed to put together 400K+ words this year, but my stats say I have done, so I guess...

Once again, Stargate Atlantis dominated, although other fandoms are beginning to edge in on its margins. Merlin looks to be the big contender in the coming year, and there's a possibility that 24 may very well muscle in once the season starts.

Anyway, Happy New Year, readers!

TITLE: Adam's Rib
SUMMARY: She was already broken when they found her.
RATING: R - for fairly serious whump
CATEGORY: Teyla whump, angst, John/Teyla UST
DISCLAIMER: Not mine, making no money, etc.
NOTES: Last fic of the year! (Sort of.) A bonus fic for starry_haze over at the sga_santa challenge. I actually wanted to write a John/Teyla fic for all the people who requested them as a pairing in the sga_santa challenge. I think I succeeded - at least, a quick perusal of the requests would suggest I did. If I didn't, let me know and I'll rectify that promptly. :)

God made Eve from Adam's rib;
Not from his skull to rule over him,
Nor from his feet to be trampled beneath him,
But from his rib to walk beside him,
Under his arm for protection and support,
And close to his heart to be loved.

Okay, folks, nothing else to do but mindlessly send out tweets and waiting for New Year's Eve, so take a moment to toodle over to

and, if you're amenable, vote for David Hewlett as Sexiest Geek. Now, just  noticed he's listed twice. So, find the one with the highest count (probably with the shot of him as McKay, not as himself) and click :)
