The precise medical terminology being bit of a bug/touch of the flu/cold in the head... obviously not serious but left me less than enthused about mental work of any kind :(

So today, I got better, got writing, and got these 1360 words out of it. I've done a couple of these stream-or-writerly-consciousness scribbles before, here and here; this ( Read more... )

When posting the SG-1 and opera ficlet the other day, I mentioned that the music might inspire a couple more to make a set -? This is the rough draft of a second one, Jack-centric again... it needs work (and an actual ending) but at least I have 520 words done today :)

Inspired by last night's rambles on good but oh-so-ugly aliens :)

When replying to kerravonsen, I mentioned that "It would be fun if some of Our Heroes had to make nice with calm, reasonable allies that looked and sounded - and even smelled - like something out of an 80s horror flick gone wrong."

Well... a couple of them did this.( Read more... )

Just one more little ghost story for the b7friday challenge ghoulies and ghosties, this one set at the start of Series 4...
