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!

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.

So, real life has been kicking my ass lately. I have a new initiative at work, which is a hell of alot more work and responsibility, but it's been a chance to actually *fix* problems I've been dealing with for several years, so as much of a pain as it's been, it's also been very satisfying. Just word to the wise, if you tell your boss you want to be "involved" with the new process, be prepared to be given the entire intiative to develop on your own on top of your regular day to day responsibilities.
The downside is that I've been putting in 11 to 12 hour days almost every day just to keep up and that leaves almost no time to write. On the other hand, I've been thinking about Twitter and how I have absolutely nothing worth posting there. That's when I came up with an idea to try that I'm calling Twitterfic Fridays that will address both my problems. I'm going to try to post a microfic, or a few lines of fic, every Friday that will be complete one or two tweets posted back to back. I don't write short, so this is going to be a challenge for me. Oh, and if anyone wants to take the few lines I tweet and run with them into a longer fic, feel free to use them!

Title: Love and Medicine written for the h/c challenge at sga_flashfic
Genre: Slash, h/c
Characters: John and Rodney
Rating: T.
Word count: ~ 6,000
Warning: None
Spoilers: anything up through season 5
Author Notes: How can I not take part in an h/c challenge?
Summary: So, while questions about love might have been appropriate at another time and place, now, with an arrow threatening to bleed the man dry, it seemed rather odd.

| and I'm not sure what the hell I'm doing. But I did download the twitterberry app on my blackberry so I can post from Comicon. I'm not even sure how to tell people to follow me. My user name is liketheriver1 there but I'm not sure what the address is to give out nor can I seem to find it on the twitter site. Also, I wanted to be able to automatically post here on my LJ when I send a tweet. I've seen people do that on their LJ but I can't figure out how to do it. Anyone know?
In other news, Hubby and the kids flew out to Germany yesterday for 3 weeks and Robyn and Vic fly in tomorrow so we can drive out to San Diego for Comicon on Wednesday. So, it's been crazy busy and I'm behind on replying to comments and I haven't even packed yet. Hell, I had to go buy a vacuum cleaner because ours is in pieces and has been for a few weeks and with two kids... my floors were crunchy which isn't exactly the shape I want the house when I have guest coming. So not only did I get to vacuum tonight, I got to put the vacuum cleaner together. Gah! | | pebbles: 3 splashes Drop a pebble |
| I've been trying to decide if I want to join Twitter. I've received a couple of invites from folks to join, but I've resisted, mainly because I can't think of why anyone would want to know about the rather dull things I do during the day... Ate bad pasta salad at the potluck yesterday, spent most of the night making hourly runs to the bathroom... I don't think most people really want that popping up on their cell phone over breakfast. But since I'm going to Comicon next week, I thought it might be fun to post snippets from there. Since SGA isn't going to be there this year (and I can't bring myself to attend the SGU panel and listen to TPTB gush over their new shiny) and the boys won't be attending the SPN panel (although Bobby!!!!) I'm thinking I won't have a huge post with lots of photos like I have the past couple of years but twitter posts from the con floor might be kind of fun.
So, thoughts, anyone? I honestly don't know anything about Twitter. Are there limits to how many posts you can make a day? Can I post from my email on my blackberry instead of texting (since I don't have a texting plan for my phone)? Is anyone interested enough to follow my posts if I did make them? Should I cave and join the Twitterverse???? | | pebbles: 7 splashes Drop a pebble |
| 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

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.
