The WIPs meme
This one was going around lj some time ago, but I don’t remember where I saw it last.
Feel free to tell me what you think I should write right now / not in a million years / for your birthday / for NaNo.
The one where the Atlantis AI plays matchmaker:
Rodney: Who do we keep getting locked into tiny rooms together?
John: I have no idea. Wanna play cards?
Atlantis: Argh! Get a clue and start fucking already!
The one where the Atlantis AI is batshit insane (Yes, you’re detecting a trend here.):
John: I found this nifty new chair and was able to talk to the Atlantis AI, and she’s all nice! *loves*
Rodney: *sits in chair* Uh, hi?
AI: Listen, you inferior human impostor with your artificial ATA gene, there’s only one person here whose happiness I care about, and anyone but John is just an unwelcome intruder I tolerate for his sake. Also, he’s in love with you, so you’ll never make him unhappy again and have lots of sex with him, or else.
R: Or else what, you crazy psycho bitch?
AI: *almost kills him*
R: *wakes up in infirmary* Well, shit. What now?
(some time later)
R: This has never happened to me before! Uh, I mean - *looks around nervously* - nothing to do with you, ‘cause you’re all sexy and stuff, and I’d really like to have sex with you, if… uh… You’re not, like, unhappy, right?
J: Nope. Would it make you feel better if I told you my own embarrassing nerves-related equipment failure story?
R: Do I look like that would make me feel better?
J: Yes.
R: All right, then.
(some time later)
R: I feel better already - talk about embarrassing!
R: Wait, you were totally making this up, weren’t you?
J: *does the “Who, me?” eyebrow-thing*
The one where the Atlantis AI… well, you already know this one.
The one where the aliens are pissed at John for insulting Rodney, and do some technological thing so he’ll be in pain until he grants Rodney a wish. So of course Rodney concentrates on something harmless, like having John bring him coffee, but it’s all set after Trinity and what he really wants is for John to trust him again. So John spends a lot of time suffering increasingly excruciating pain in a very manly way, because the whole coffee-fetching doesn’t do a thing, and Rodney finally figures out what’s happening.
But of course the way to win someone’s trust is not to tell them about how you fucked up yet again, so he tries increasingly desperately to earn John’s trust and make the pain stop, and feels awful because John is suffering for his failure.
The one where Rodney gets put into an incredibly humiliating position by evil aliens, and John doesn’t mock him at all.
The one where John and edit: Ronon! I mean to say Ronon! have lots of kinky sex, not betaed by tinnny
The CSI crossover, with the planet of the bugs and Radek and Gil falling in love and possibly some version of mpreg that’s not actually mpreg, because that would be gross. (this one’s second on the list for possible NaNo stories.)
The original novel I’ve been promising my mother to write for months, NaNo possibility number one, with the maybe-werewolf and the stolen top-secret files and the single mother and all that in German and without sex.
I strongly suspect that many people will not list this one as their preferred choice.
Technical question: For some reason, my screencaps always come out distorted, with the picture too long and not wide enough. I use 800/600 resolution on the screen, but MSI changes it to 1024x768 for DVD viewing. Setting the screen to 1024/768 does not un-distort the caps.
Help would be very much appreciated!
