ALIENABLE RITES There were sausages on bread, strangely shaped vegetables charred and glistening with oil. Cold salads, and something hot, yellow and spicy. Large birds slow roasted over sweet-smelling wood fires. There was beer. Served at the ideal temperature, in mugs that perfectly maintained that perfection. Amber-hued, frothy, full-bodied. “Damn, that’s good!” Jack declared. There were pies. Two fruit and one nut, still warm, paired with rich cheeses. “Best treaty we ever signed,” Jack said happily. Later, SG-1 and Earth’s newest allies stretched out on blankets, and Daniel’s little finger hooked over Jack’s as fireworks erupted in the night sky over PY7-476. |

Filler, the game that will "eat your soul", per synecdochic . And she's right. (Click to create a filler ball, hold down the mouse button to make the filler ball grow and move the mouse to move the filler ball.)
Thanks for voting in the MarySue Throwdown Poll. Spock is so MINE.
I'd like to thank the Academy. 'How It All Began' has been nominated in the 2008 Blue Moon Stargate SG-1 Fan Awards Program.
Thank you, anonymous nominating person. :-)
Speaking of anonymous: Thank you to everyone who commented on the anonymous love meme two months ago. I remember I really needed a boost back then, and you kind people gave me one. *hugs*

You've probably been seeing those "Wordle" thingies around. Here's one most of you haven't seen yet, based on Five times Jack didn't use his safeword (but probably should have). Click to enlarge.

Mmmm. Dom!Daniel. :-) |

It started when delphia2000 responded to this post, claiming Mr. Spock's love as her own. Foolish woman.
Then she posted a challenge in her journal. Really foolish woman.
Here is her paltry delphiaSue entry. Go. Mock. Enjoy.
Here is my winning entry:

| Where'd the day (boldly) go? |
[Jun. 17th, 2008|11:59 pm] |
| [ | Presently feeling |
| | confused | ] | I'd say I accomplished nothing at all today, but I did write and post fanfic in a new fandom at 2:30 am. Yes, I boldly went where I had never gone before...
... and so, hours later, with the day shot to hell, I share with you hilarious vids:
'If Kirk Were Gay'
and Love Trek, the lost gay episode
(Seriously, where'd the day go? I ate a couple of times but spent no time cooking, answered feedback, handwashed some dishes. No, I didn't spend the day on YouTube. I read a few short fanfics and thought about ways to save on auto insurance. I uploaded some icons, watched my allotted hour and a half of soaps, finished the Sunday paper puzzle section. Paid my cell phone bill.
I sure as hell didn't start my ficathon piece. *cries*) |

I've been audacious enough to attempt to write in Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin universe and posted the result to perfect_duet.
PG-13, 500 words, h/c, missing scene from Chapter One of Book Two: Post Captain. During a foxhunt, Jack is thrown from his horse after being distracted by a pretty face (i.e. Diana Villiers), and dragged over stony ground until Stephen rides dashingly to the rescue (on his mule, no less.)

| Vote in Last Icon Maker Standing competition! |
[Jun. 5th, 2008|05:10 pm] |
| [ | Presently feeling |
| | envious | ] | If you know anything about icon-making, you should go cast a vote in sg1_lims. There are ties that need breaking!
You select your 2 favorite and your 2 least favorite icons from those submitted. And then you explain your choices, which is why I only watch and don't play along. But if words like color, contrast, cropping, texture and brush actually mean something to you, go and vote!
All the instructions are right here. Voting ends at 9 pm Central Time tonight, less than 5 hours from now.

synecdochic posted a story in her Mezzanine universe this morning in honor of ivorygates's birthday: Afterglow
This is a remix of the ending from Cammie's POV.
It's also in honor of ivorygates's birthday, naturally. :-)

[May. 27th, 2008|11:13 pm] |
Thank you to princessofgfor encouragement and jd_junkiefor beta duties. I truly appreciate it, ladies.
5,600 words wherein Jack is whumped. Warnings: SAD. Also porny.

| Is anyone else having problems with this? |
[May. 27th, 2008|10:18 am] |
| [ | Presently feeling |
| | confused | ] | I can't track/subscribe to entries or comment threads. I thought possibly I might have hit the upper limit, so I went to some old 5 things posts that I was tracking and untracked a bunch of them. Still can't subscribe to anything new.
And I can't even access the "Manage Settings" page. Trying to access that and trying to subscribe get me the same thing: Internet Explorer cannot display that page.
This is a fairly recent problem - I can't quite remember when I first ran into it. A couple/three weeks ago, maybe.
Anybody else affected? |

| Good weekend |

We had great weather for the 500 yesterday, all my meals were successes (although the scrambled eggs were a little salty this morning), and our guests departed for home a little while ago.
The dishwasher is running, the laundry can wait. I've got two days worth of newspapers to read and a recording of the race to watch - - - but OMG I need to try to catch up on LJ first!!! *g*
And I have a fic to finish polishing up before posting it. :-) |

| What would you miss? |
[May. 21st, 2008|11:42 pm] |
| [ | Presently feeling |
| | curious | ] | Something on tonight's season finale of Boston Legal happened to remind me of an incident from the remote past... about 1984, I think it was. I was dating a guy who was convinced that the Soviets were going to attack the U.S. with nukes. (Hey, I was right! I knew that wasn't gonna happen.)
Anyway, his plan was to escape into the mountains, or some such survivalist nonsense, and take me with him.
And my sekrit reaction was: what would be the point of surviving the apocalypse? Because, hey, there would be no baseball and no soap operas.
OK, my tastes have changed in the intervening decades. What would I miss now? Would the Internet survive? Would there be shiny new slash to read? What would I do without my cooking shows to point me at new ingredients and recipes?
Pushing Daisies, Chuck, 24 - I've been promised more of those!
OMG, there HAVE to be more SG-1 movies!!!
So what would you miss to the point that simply surviving would lose its luster? |

| Sleep is overrated, right? |
[May. 21st, 2008|03:00 am] |
| [ | Presently feeling |
| | thoughtful | ] |
Between mentally planning meals for the big weekend, thinking about the cleaning that's left to do before company arrives Friday afternoon, and plotting the final scene-to-be-written in my Jack!whumper, sleep is not an achievable goal.
So maybe I'll get the fic finished. That goal seems more achievable at the moment, which is a good thing since writing this has been extremely difficult for me. It would be a relief to hand it off to betas.
Yes, I'm looking at you, jd_junkie!
And at anyone else who wants to volunteer. Probably be about 5,000 words or so, NC-17, not at all cheery, with a healthy dollop of pr0n.
ETA: Done! 5,500 words. Bed. Now. |
