01:51 pm - today is so fired
I am not continuing to pack and move today, because erg, feel icky, and I am totally claiming a body that reacts to medicine next time around. There has been a slight reprieve in the "end of month, bye, ha ha," so this isn't as disastrous as it looks, but still, icky. Ow.
LJ was a temporary distraction, thank you for that, but then I read ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif) leadensky's post and went poking around in my own old WIPs, and... There's one, a SGA-BSG crossover, that I'd still love to read, but I don't think I have it in me to write it after the last few months. I never had much of a BSG fic urge, anyway, but the flailing in the latter half of the second season drove this one urge that I had right up a wall and off a cliff.
So, here. I didn't get much further than the set-up, but the beginnings of a look into, 1) how would you react to a Cylon if you hadn't been wiped out by them? and 2) so what is the difference between a human!Cylon and a human, anyway? If someone else wants to take it and run with it, please, do so.
Given that the folks at the SGC had already dealt with the doubles, Reese, and the human!Replicators, I decided to give the folks on Atlantis (who used to be nice and conflicted about these kinds of things) the Cylon question. And it would probably help if I pointed out that this is SGA circa 206 (Trinity), and BSG post-108 (Flesh and Bone).
( ~2,300 words -- out of the sky and into the deep end )
Now I'm going to go find a popsicle.

10:17 am - pair the third
Stargate and Atlantis. Vala and Sheppard. For eretria.
Ellen, honey, to get it to happen I had to do a little jiggering. The assumption: Post-Beachhead, Vala gets spat back out into Pegasus. Other than that ep, no spoilers from either end of the SG universe. (and omg, why I decided to get into her head, I have no idea.)
( Elsewhere... )

09:43 am - fic commentary the third -- All Those Looks
Last one. Another for eretria, because she's too sweet to turn down. Atlantis, this time. All Those Looks, which was my first SGA fic, although it's really more of a ficlet.
( More than that pretty, pretty face. Really. )
Not sure why I resist making new tags, but I broke down and made one for all of these commentaries. So there they are. And if anyone feels like asking for another, go ahead.

01:55 pm - three things and a ficlet
Link -- I think I'm in love with this conversation.
Television -- Caught up on NCIS. They're actually doing a good job of integrating the new characters. Cool. Also caught up with My Name is Earl. ::hugs happy, funny show::
Notice -- Updated my site.
Ficlet -- Finally typed up. For thespatz, who asked for SGA gen team!fic after stumping me with one of my fics. Damn you, Casey. I knew it was you, but I just couldn't remember which thing Dan had done to provoke that reaction.
Title: Things That Go Bump
Rating: Threats, but no actual damaging.
Notes: Very early S1. Like, between Hide and Seek and Suspicion. Written by candlelight when I was kind of distracted.

12:48 pm - more crossover insanity
This bit of Sheppard and Starbuck, John and Kara, whatever you want to call them, it can't stand on its own. It requires this story/snippet/thing to be understood, even though it's a different enough style (I don't know, I was tired) that I don't really know that I can just stick the two of them together. Again, it was supposed to be for the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif) sf_friday48 challenge, but I don't know whether something that's kind of turning into a weekly WIP counts, so... It barely meets the challenge guidelines of "teamfic" and "secrets," anyway.* And it too is flying completely without beta.
( Next Days )
* At least this ended up shorter than the other thing that thepouncer would recognize. The one that really would have met the challenge. Remember that idea about two spiky-haired Sci-Fi Friday characters? Damn it, I knew that wasn't going to be simple or short, so why the hell did I start it? I've forgotten how to write, although there's also the argument that I never knew.

01:00 pm - see if I ever get on IM again
This is purging. Of evil. From evil people. Written in a few hours, but too much angst right from the top to fit the first sf_friday48 challenge. It has no title other than "The Insanity Below is Not My Fault." Sometime out beyond current SGA and BSG canon, because it's the only way I could get him alone on a jumper, which means that this isn't your standard issue John Sheppard and that identifying Cylons isn't a problem any more. Whatever. I wanted it out of my head.

12:04 pm - even in text...
"So" is the foot-shuffle of openings.
It's the early indicator that a person is about to say something that's kind of an admission, something that they have to work their way around to. Maybe it only provides the space of a single word (one of the shortest ones the English language's got, at that), but that's a word they can use to delay just that little bit longer. Plus, it transitions nicely into "I might've..." or "I sorta..." or a big one, one that extends the countdown to the doom-moment and excuses: "there was this..."
If the feet don't shuffle, the body does. The head tilts, draws back on the neck while fighting the urge to drop down, and forces the shoulders to react, even if the hands are in pockets, pulling up on one side while shifting forward and away -- a twisted mess of contradictions to go with words that maybe shouldn't be said, but it's just "maybe," so maybe it's okay and maybe they should.
::shrugs:: I have no clue if I was going anywhere with this.
Also, while I don't generally do crossovers, now I really want to get Sheppard and Leoben face to face. I know it's not actually your fault, but damn you, thepouncer.

03:56 pm - flashfic
Written for the sga_flashfic "38 minutes" challenge (i.e., write the story in 38 minutes).

02:03 pm - fic, of the Atlantis type
I do have dialogue from these folks, but what isn't in the getting-longer-by-the-month story is in a comment or two, here and there. Maybe now that this is out of the way, I'll get enough to string together into something like a conversation. (And next week, hopefully, I'll be able to explain why I'm avoiding Moebius-related fic.)
Anyway, more of Elizabeth Weir. Seems like thepouncer and I think a little more alike than I'd realized. At least we're different enough that this and her flashfic story are in fact separate stories. Thanks to her for the beta. No thanks to the SGA writers who didn't give those two men names.
Spoilers up to The Seige.
( Commune Bonum )
Randomly, I'm sort of in love with Fiona Apple's unreleased album.

11:23 am - SGA 1.18
A bit of analysis of the ep, a bit of meta on the show. Babbling. Tangents. Good thing I'm not getting graded on this stuff or anything.
( The Gift )
Also, posted a little something over at sga_flashfic. Gen. A post-ep for 38 Minutes: Damages.

02:20 pm - meant to post this last week
This bit (just about 300 words) of Sheppard jumped me after watching Letters From Pegasus (SGA 1.17), and it pretty much "takes place" in those last few minutes of the episode. Brain dump sorta-story, I guess you could call it.
( in these shoes )

11:30 am - good things
Arrested Development makes me happy. "It's half in English, half in squiggly." Hee.
Another thing that makes me happy? That so many people took the time to answer my question from Saturday, and that the only time I worried things might get crazy or mean was while I composed the post. See? Sometimes religion discussions don't have to go wanky.
I am determined to at least answer everybody on that post today. I took a bit of a break from everything on the Internet yesterday. I had to. It's a wonderful discussion, but trying to make sense of things that simply don't make sense to me, and I want to know why they don't make sense...it's hard on the brain.
But you know what else I bet would make me happy? carolyn_claire knows. ::waits for Jack story with pleading puppy eyes::
And a little Atlantis something that I figure might make others happy.
( knock, knock )

02:31 pm - random fic
I was going back and forth on whether to post this, but hell, why not.
A bit of Atlantis gen from the other week. Not really tied to anything story-wise or timeline-wise, other than some random thinking of thoughts.
( another bunch of 'friendlies' )

11:19 am - spoilers and stories
Some thoughts...and then what I ended up spending time on instead of thoughts.
( Atlantis: Childhood's End -- But at least they weren't high )
Moving on, that issue I brought up the other week? About not being able to see any pairings on Atlantis yet? Well, it seems to have run head-on into the fic that's being written out there. I had a feeling that was going to happen. I said what I did because of what I'd already seen, some of it well written, really getting the voices, but... And then nostalgia_lj linked to a McKay/Sheppard story and I was curious enough to read it, and the Rodney first person wasn't bad, but...
I guess you could call this a reaction. Written on the fly, so extremely rough.
( all those looks )
