Ooh, writing meme! I can never resist these...to do or to visit at other people's.

Comment with a story I've written, and I will tell you something I knew, learned, or wondered about while writing it that didn't make it onto the page.

Gakked from kalquessa.

You can find all my fic listed here.

#7 of "What Would Jack Do?"!!

It amuses me that you're specifically picking one ficlet by *number* of the WWJD. :-) Cracks up.

Okay, so..."Triple Layer Bittersweet Chocolate" (i.e. the Sam POV of WWJD)

(Yes, this was the segment I infamously "punted" back when the characters were fighting with the muse.)

Okay...this part:
He stared at her a moment, his mouth twitching in a smile but looking between her and Daniel as if they should share some unknown joke.

Sam was uncertain what he found amusing, but her dark mood held no humor.I wondered whether Teal'c revealed much of his "Changeling" dream to his teammates. He mentioned how Daniel helped him in "Orpheus", but the details were vague. Sam was a big part of his subconscious comforting him at the SGC (even if she kept insisting on his drinking "warm milk" to his displeasure) and then of course glowy Daniel purposefully showed up ( ... )

No, this is perfect, I totally adored the three of them there, especially Teal'c with his bovine lactose line. Which cracked me up and was exactly right.

Revelation and Damnation? Bet there's some interesting stuff there...

Oooh, Revelation and Damnation...

As she dressed in clean garb-she wondered what would happen when she went to the infirmary? Would Janet recognize what-no, not Janet. Never again would it be Janet. She closed her eyes to that remembered pain. Would Warner or one of the others sense she change she now felt beat within her? The damnation she exuded despite all the assurances to the contrary? How would...That ellipses is where I actually had a new revelation while writing the draft ( ... )

I found it extremely chilling and dramatic just as is... I don't know what you could have done that would make it more horrifying!

A Picture's Worth... ? I liked that one, interesting concept :)

Ironically or maybe unsurprisingly, it was hard to depict everything going on in this painting. I actually had to imagine the backstory battle ( ... )

Insurance Snafu!

Script Form Prequel to Insurance SNAFU aurora_novarum January 30 2009, 18:26:48 UTC

Hmm, Insurance Snafu...Hmm, I've done a dvd commentary on this one, so...something not said before ( ... )

Oh, I love this! I must say, I saw it and thought, "There's no way she could write a prequel to that!" I was wrong!

Hee!

aurora_novarum January 30 2009, 19:50:13 UTC

Hee. Straight for the crack, huh?

Well, aside from never quite making up my mind of how technologically advanced the Machotins were...

I found it hilarious that Jack was the voice of reason (although snarky one) at how ridiculous the whole scenario was in the first place, and yet after the escape, he was the one to embrace the silliness even more. Not even realizing he was humming "Over the Rainbow", while the rest of the team wanted to just get home and try and forget the whole thing happened.

(which actually fits his character, in a way)
