Subject:Coco and Cookie of the V kind! (and a meme thrown in, for good measure)
Time:10:42 am


Thanks so much to [info]winter_elf and [info]d_odyssey for the wonderful holiday V gifts of snowflake cookie and cup of coco! Now, if I only had those in real life.....mmmmmm.

Also, as you've probably noticed a couple of things if you stop my LJ on occassion. A) I never do memes, and B) my posting has dropped considerably.

The fact is, RL has cut into my writing time considerably over the past 6 months or so, which, honestly might not have been bad timing seeing as my muse decided to flutter off to parts unknown and only occassional rear her useful head. As to why I don't do memes? Not really sure. Probably a combination of laziness and being pretty sure that no one will care to have a response or even notice. But this one I've seen around lately dealt with fanfics and I thought maybe doing this meme would help lure the muse back by seeing what people found interesting,confusing, funny, etc, in my fics, so here it goes....

Pick a paragraph (or any passage 500-1000 words) from any fanfic I've written, and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the character's heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track.


My master fic list is at the top of the LJ and I just updated it the other day so it should contain everything I've written. I'll even attempt to answer questions related to the Geeks and Goons Guide series that pertain to Koschka's sections (or at least make up something that sounds good and possibly embarrassing for her. *G*) With RL, it may take a few days to get back to you with a response, but I promise I will.

07:07 Twitfic:The shack is stuffy, a fire stoked as thanks-meds traded for tonight's shelter. John takes a mug, smiles. Rodney sniffs, wary. Ronon #

07:07 glares; McKay drinks. A baby coughs. Teyla frowns, worried not only for this child. John wishes for Carson while glad he's not in this mess. #

08:30 they could agree on. Athough,really, what other name was as appropriate for a Sheppard-McKay and wouldn't get him beat up on the playground? #

  • 08:13 @LeesaPerrie He was no doubt sacrificing Mounds Bars for the hidden Snickers and Mars Bars. ;-) #
  • 08:15 Twitfic: They are smaller than pigeons and have scales among feathers, but the birds are drawn to the lofts Radek built on the East Tower... #
  • 08:16 *far* from the lab. That's the point; an escape from the chaos. The screeching, however, was disconcerning at first-Rodney's, not the birds. #

Subject:A Huge Mucho Thank You!
Time:05:21 pm


I'll be the first to admit that for the past six months or so, I've become...shall we say disillusioned with the SGA fandom as a whole.  It seems people are much more interested in bitching about TPTB, the cancellation of SGA, the upcoming season of SGU, and several rumors/spoilers/whatever about the plot/characters/whatever of SGU than reading fanfic. And while I whole heartedly agree with just about everything everyone is voicing, it's just turned into a major downer and hasn't accomplished much more than wanting me to hide away from the whole ordeal instead of remembering and celebrating why we're so upset in the first place.... because SGA was tons of fun with wonderful characters that I want to live on one way or another.

Which was why it makes the good news I was met with today all that much more wonderful, in my opinion.  The winners of the SGA Fan Awards were announced and four out of five of my fics won!  To say that I am shocked and flabbergasted by that news is an understatement, and those of you who felt I deserved to win, especially when I see the company of brilliant writers who were nominated in the same categories... well, I'm not sure if caplocks can express the THANK YOU! I want to send out to all of you who nominated and/or voted for the fics.  But I'll try anyway.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

More than that, it reminds me of why I started writing fanfiction.  And no, it wasn't to win award, although that is definitely a wonderful perk. *G* It's because we all fell in love with a show and characters and wanted to expand on that love by writing and reading fic.  I just hope, for a little while, people will remember that and peruse the list of winners and nominees and enjoy some wonderful fic.

Congratulations to all the winners and nominees out there and thanks for keeping the SGA world alive!

Subject:Trick of the Light Now Available at a Book Store Near You!
Time:10:37 pm

I finally, *finally* got to the bookstore this week and they *finally* had Trick of the Light out on the shelves.  This is the first book of the new series by Rob Thurman (a.k.a Robyn  Thurman... yes, gasp! He's a she!) and this series features a female lead.  But fear not, because Trixa is one kick ass demon hunter...smart, sassy, and with a few secrets of her own.  Not to mention she's surrounded by a posse of kick ass guys (and a cameo from a familiar face for those her read her Leandros series).  There's angels, demons, and a lot of stuff in between hanging out in Vegas, baby!  And we all know what happens in Vegas usually makes for one hell of a good time, and in this case, one hell of a good read. 

So, go!  Buy! Buy two while you're at it!  Read!  Enjoy!





In other less exciting news, I've also finally posted a new and slightly improved (although still screwed up in the formatting department for some unknown reason I can't seem to fix) master fic list.  Since LJ decided to eat half of mine a few months ago.  I did away with the table format and added summaries for the fics, but I did maintain the various categories for ease of perusing.  I'm also continuing my TwitFic Friday if you want to follow along.
