07:39 This date in history, Daleks first appear on Dr. Who (1963). Egg beaters and toilet plungers have terrified untold generations since. #

06:36 Twitfic:The boy is small but lifts Ronon's knife with a bump on the crowded streets. Ronon chases him, weaving among shacks lining the steep #

06:37 road of the slums. When he catches the boy, he has no family,just an alley,his loot...some with royal insignia. The kid could be a way home. #

Thanks so much to winter_elf and 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. #

12:25 Captain's Log: Blackberry's vitals fading fast. Reboots becoming ineffective. New Bold arriving today. Must...hold...on...few...hours..more. #

14:01 If Darth came standard with 3G he'd be contributing to my carpal tunnel right now. @Rob_Thurman Getting a Darth Berry, eh? #

06:01 @jane_connor Thanks! Not sure if story will live in twitfic form or grow to more but sure you'll see it continue one way or other. *G* #

08:02 Twitfic: The slums are filthy, the tenants more so. Rodney can all but see the disease that must be breeding among the squalor. A charity... #

08:03 mission gone bad, help for poor mistaken as rebel aid. Now his team's only hope is to become as lost as the destitute in the maze of shacks. #

13:18 Dear Martha Stewart, you are cordially invited to suck it! My OCD pwns yours! Derby pie w/ fall leaf crust FTW! pic.gd/30ab60 #

07:27 Twitfic: "This the one with the fat guy or the rock?" "Plymouth Rock." How John celebrated his holidays made no sense to Ronon. "And the big #

07:27 bird, not socks with candy.Right?" "Stocking, but, yes, Thanksgiving's the turkey." But anything that involved so much food couldn't be bad. #

09:23 Gobble gobble gobble. Happy Turkey. Day! My contribution to the feast is underway- butternut squash and shallots roasting, pies are up next! #

14:59 @spacedmonkey apparently I need to make better use of my mad Jedi skills. Wave hand...this is not the toner cartridge you are looking for. #

15:01 @jane_connor Think poor clone!Carson had it rough. :-( But glad you liked the twitfic! :-) Thanks! #

07:18 Twitfic: 2 yrs Carson sits in one cell or another and tells himself today's the day. Today's the day he won't have to help kill the Pegasus #

07:19 humans. He won't have to watch monsters being born. Today's the day. Then, the cell opens on black-clad saviors and the day is finally here. #

11:16 Have been made xerox room's bitch at kid's school-39 pgs of math, 100 copies each, most 2 sided. Am I only 1st grade mom who can run copier? #

15:30 Wherein aliens *won't* make them do it, I have a new SGA comic posted here- bit.ly/84RcM #

10:50 @ezazahaz Much better than Einstein or Maverick Sheppard-McKay. *G* #

10:53 @jane_connor Glad you liked it! It's a guilty pleasure story I go to all in my head when having a bad day. *G* #

08:29 TwitFic: 10 years ago, Rodney never dreamed he'd have the life he does now. A home on Atlantis, married with a kid named Kirk; the only name #

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? #

07:25 Sitting under departure screen so I can use plug at airport to download images for new comic. Off to see @rob_thurman. Need fun for flight! #

• 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. #

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!
