| Title: The Devil You Know
Written by: liketheriver
Artwork by: Lily (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) sheppard4lily )
Summary: With Atlantis adrift in the Milky Way and on the verge of losing all power, the expedition is desperate to find a way to save the city. The potential for help once again comes from an unlikely source− Todd, who’s desperate to save himself from starvation. The offer, however, comes with a dangerous string attached for Sheppard, one that could jeopardize the lives of his entire team as they hatch a plan to travel back to Pegasus where a new Wraith Queen has set her sights on Todd’s Wraith alliance and domination of the galaxy. With the fate of Atlantis in the balance, the team must contend not only with the Devil they know, but also the new one that they don’t.
It is now available here at the Beyond Atlantis Virtual Season 6 website.
It's over 40,000 words and has *20* gorgeous illustrations so go, read, admire the artwork, and enjoy! And huge thanks to valleya and annieb1955 for the wonderful beta and proofread!

The Stargate Fan Awards are open for voting now. This really falls into the "for what it's worth" department for me this year. Once again, voting is open for less than a month (closes July 31). There are over 2000 nominations and we're expected to read them all in less than a month... I just don't see it happening. Which is too bad because there are always great fics out there that are on the long side and I don't think they get read in the same level as the shorter works. The wonderful thing about the awards is that they let you find fics you might have missed or otherwise never seen, so even if you don't have time to read them all before the deadline, I hope you do take the time to go back and read some great fic.
This year I have 5 nominated works in the competition, and only two of them are in the categories where I suggested they be placed. My AU fic Never Wanted to Dance is now in gen actions/adventure because there weren't enough noms to have a stand alone AU category. They created a new category for graphic fan fic and I agreed to place So Little Space in there although it is much more fic heavy than most of the other noms in the category. And the awards team decided that The Therapeutic Properties of Coffee had to go into ship because of the Rodney/Katie relationship, although I still don't think it is a ship fic, it just has that as the backdrop for the true story which is the John and Rodney friendship. In the ship category, I think gen readers will never even look twice at it and ship readers are going to be highly disappointed when it isn't a true ship fic. I just wanted to let you know about that because I'm sure there will be people wondering, why the hell did she put this fic in this category? And the truth is, I didn't. *G*
So here's where you can find the fics I wrote:
Don Juan McKay and Other Universal Improbablities: SGA Fan Fictions>Gen>Team>Large Works
Never Wanted to Dance (With Nobody but You): SGA Fan Fiction>Gen>Duet>Sheppard/McKay>Action/Adventure
Sibling Rivalry: SGA Fan Fiction>Gen>Duet>Sheppard/McKay>Episode-Based
So Little Space, So Much Time: Graphic Fan Fiction
The Therapeutic Properties of Coffee: SGA Fan Fiction>Ship>Other Pairing>Drama

Title: Greener Grasses
Genre: Slash, h/c, humor
Characters: John, Rodney, and Jeannie
Rating: T.
Word count: ~ 15,000
Warning: None
Spoilers: anything up through season 5
Author Notes: Marla asked for an Earth fic with John, Rodney and Jeannie and a bank robbery. This is what I came up with. Sorry, it took longer than I had hoped it would. *G* Thanks, as always, to Koschka for the beta.
Summary: You would think being a hostage in a bank robbery would be the biggest surprise of your day, but if you're Jeannie Miller and your brother comes to visit, you'd be wrong.

Did you miss me? Did you even realize I wasn't here? *G* Actually the past month has been nuts and I just returned from a week on the North Carolina coast where I spent a lot of time sitting on the beach, doing a little reading (which I never get to do) and generally doing a whole lot of nothing so that now I'm woefully behind on everything else in my life. But one thing I didn't get to do was post that Episode 2 is now available on the Beyond Atlantis Virtual Season 6. Be sure and check it out, and while you're there, you can catch a little sneak peek of my episode that is up next on July 7!
The link is here.

Title: Snow Day
Genre: Gen, Team
Characters: Team
Rating: T.
Word count: ~18,400
Warning: None
Spoilers: Anything through season 4... I think. That's the problem with zine fics, too much time passes for you to remember exactly what was going on when you wrote it. *G*
Author Notes: This fic was written for the Brotherhood 5 zine, and I honestly can't remember the names of all the editors, but they were a wonderful bunch to work with. Seriously, all the Brotherhood zines are gorgeous and should be owned by everyone who can get their hands on them. Their website can be found here.
Summary: When Sheppard's Jumper goes down on a planet in the clutches of a blizzard, it's up to his team to find him before it's too late.

We're in the last week of school for my kids and my nine-year-old son brought home a large stack of school work today in his backpack. I went weeding through it to see if there was anything mixed in among the various quizes and class work (like the awards assembly invite that was buried in the middle of the stack) when I came across an assignment they had done in class on compound words. His choice just put a huge smile on my face...
This one's going up on my wall at work. *G* | | pebbles: 8 splashes Drop a pebble |
| The ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) sga_genficathon had the author reveal today, so I can post this here so that you can find it if you happened to miss it over at the ficathon. I'm hoping people will go back and try the other paths on this fic even if they do make it safely to the end. Depending on the path you take, the story can change. Oh, and I didn't get to give my thanks to my betas... Koschka and kodiak_bear .
Title: Cairns written for the sga_genficathon Genre: Team Prompt: Stone circles or cairns Word Count: ~45,000 written but it could be as little as a couple thousand to a couple hundred thousand depending on how many ways you read it. Rating: T Warnings: There is the potential for character death, but don't worry, you can always start over and try again if it happens. Also, images that may be slow to download on dialup. Summary: Forced into a native rite of passage, the team must each face life and death challenges along their chosen path. The only catch is that it's up to you to choose that path for them. Notes: This fic is a Choose Your Own Adventure story. If you aren't familiar with those, it means you will be given choices at various points, including which character you will follow, the direction they go, etc. Simply click on the persented option you choose and the story will continue based on that choice. The choices could lead to safety or even more dire situations, it could bring team members together, or even a death. Don't panic, though. If you do make a bad decision, you'll be given the choice to start over at the end of each section. And when you finish following one character, you can go back and follow another, or the same character with different choices... the story may even change if you do. Because of the many, many links involved with this fic, and the anonimity required for the ficathon, the entire story is posted on a secret LJ all of its own. This includes the comments. But if you want to scan the comments before reading the fic, you can do so here. Cairns | | pebbles: 2 splashes Drop a pebble |
| So, Robyn and I have our 4 day passes for Comicon, which was remarkably easy for us this year since she got a professional membership last year (and I was her guest) and it was automatically renewed this year. Basically, all she had to do was reply that yes she wanted to attend as a professional with her cheap ass friend, and boom! we're in. Unfortunately, I had two other friends that I wanted to bring with us this year.... my best friend from high school and another friend from work. I kept telling them they needed to buy their 4 days passes, but as long as they bought them by March, they should be good to go.
Well, they waited for one reason or another, but did go to buy them in March and the 4 day passes were sold out because Saturday was sold out. As one will be traveling cross country, not having tix for one day made the trip questionable. After several options including volunteering for Saturday were discussed, my friend from high school decided to apply for a professional membership. She has worked as the producer on a couple of independent horror/scifi movies and about to start on another and given the guidelines, it seemed like she had a pretty good shot at it. Plus, she would get to bring a friend for free which meant both of them would save $75. Well, she just found out that her application was rejected because they had over 10,000 new aps for professional memberships and they had to limit those to people who were directly tied to the comic industry. Since her movies were horror/sci fi, it was a no go.
Finally we decided they would buy Thursday, Friday, and Sunday tickets and we'd do something about Saturday (swap out the badges during the day to give everyone a chance or something). But now, because Comicon took months to get back to let her know her application was rejected, Friday is also sold out and there are no more volunteer positions. GRRRRRR. Now, Robyn and I will have a great time just the two of us like we have the past two years, but we were all really looking forward to having a geeky girls weekend and introducing two newbies to the joys of Comicon. That it pretty much shot to hell and I'm totally bummed about the whole thing. Sigh. And I'm definitely having a hind sight is 20/20 moment on what we should have done about buying tickets and then requesting a refund if they had swung the professional membership. I guess next year we'll know to buy the tix super early. | | pebbles: 7 splashes Drop a pebble |

This is a gen season and new eps will be posted on the 7th of each month! (I'm slated for episode 3 and have been busily working on it and lots of other great writers, artists, and betas are involved, too.) | | pebbles: 9 splashes Drop a pebble |
| The sga_genficathongoes live on May 1, and if the mods do like last year, it means fic will begin posting at 12:01 am, May 1... which is just a few hours away. I do have a fic in the ficathon, but you'll have to wait until the week of anonymous posting is complete to know which one is mine. The fun part of the anonymous posting is that you get to try to guess the authors after each genre is posted. The schedule of posting is below, so you've got a week of great fic to look forward to!
Friday: Action/adventure
Saturday: AU
Sunday: Supporting Character Appreciation Day
Monday: Friendship
Tuesday: Angst
Wednesday: Team
Thursday: Humor
In addition to the ficathon, the Beyond Atlantis Virtual Season 6 is set to debut on May 7 with new eps posted the 7th of every month. I'm set to write episode 3 (I'm a little over halfway done!) so mine will be posted in July, but you'll have 2 great eps before mine to read and enjoy then many more afterward. I'm actually not sure if the website is open to those not involved with the VS at this point, but I will post the official link when the site goes live in a week.
Between these two fics, I've been loaded down, but don't worry, Marla, as soon as the VS fic is done in a few weeks, I'll be starting on yours. *G*
In the meantime, go out and read some great gen fic!
Oh, geez, I almost forgot the zine that is coming out this month! Brotherhood 7 will be available at MediaWest and mail order starting in early May. It's a multifandom zine but has several SGA and SG1 fics in it, including my fic Going Dutch. Details can be found here: Brotherhood 7 and this year they're letting us post a little snippet to entice potential buyers. So you can find that behind the cut.

| Okay, I'm going nuts. Whenever I go in to edit a post in the rich text setting, all I get is a blank screen. HTML mode I can see fine. But Rich Text just shows the outline of the editing screen with no tool bar, no text, nothing. *AND* this only happens on my laptop. Other computers are just fine. *AND* it just started this week. Before that, no problem. Seeing as I typically prefer to use my laptop as it's portable and I can do things while watching tv with the kids, etc., it's like trying to work with one hand tied behind my back. I can enter a post no problem but I can't go back and edit it. The computer tells me the page is loaded but with errors but I can't see any errors.
Does anyone have any ideas what the hell is going on????? | | pebbles: 3 splashes Drop a pebble |
| I really, really should be working on two other fics, but I had started this one, then put it aside to work on the others, but then the shiny of slash with lots of h/c was just too much of a lure. So, here you go.
Title: Water, Sweat, Scotch written for the Inquisition prompt at sga_details_fic
Pairing: John and Rodney slash
Characters: Sheppard and McKay
Rating: T.
Word count: ~18,400
Warning: None
Spoilers: Anything upto and including Inquisition.
Author Notes: This is an alternate slashy h/c ending for Inquisition, because, in my opinion, that's the best way to perk up a clip show. Thanks to Koschka for the quick beta.
Summary: Trapped on a desert planet with minimal supplies, John and Rodney must try to survive and hope that Atlantis will come for them.

It's March, which means it's time for a new Rob Thurman novel to be in the bookstores! Deathwish was released this past week and it delivers like the first three books in the Cal Leandros series. This one is for all you angst whores out there which is due in large part to the fact that the POV switches between Cal and Niko. So go! Buy! Enjoy!

Title: I'll Take the Frakking Wraith Any Day written for the Crossing Challenge at sga_flashfic
Genre: Pure parody and crack. It's SGA gen with a mention of BSG slash.
Rating: T.
Word count: ~1400
Warning: None
Spoilers: Anything through Season 5 of both BSG and SGA.
Author Notes: Thanks as always to Koschka for the beta and a ridiculous discussion that resulted in this fic.
Summary: "These people are fucking nuts," Sheppard hissed.

Title: Long Day's Journey written as a pinch hit for the secret santa exchange over at sheppard_hc
Genre: Gen with Team
Rating: T.
Word count: ~18,700
Warning: None
Spoilers: Anything through Season 5 but nothing really.
Author Notes: I'll post the prompt from wildcat88</lj> . All I can say is this prompt really needed about 80,000 words to do it justice, so I'm hoping my condensed version still fits the bill else it wouldn't have been done until *next* Christmas. As it is, it's more of a Valentine's present. *G* Thanks as always to Koschka for the beta.
Summary: A Jumper crash leaves the team injured and standed on a planet with no way to contact Atlantis for help.
