Sad news
I heard through stargazercmc that majorsamfan passed away today after a battle with cancer. Jill was a sweet person, an artist, and in fandom was a dedicated Stargate and Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping fan, and a constant positive and enthusiastic presence.
She will be missed. -

I am about to get swallowed up by work again for the next few weeks, but before I disappear I wanted to say a big smooshy THANK YOU for the lovely comments people left for me in beanpot's anon love meme. They made my week ( Read more... ) -
Pointillism.
- Clear skies and Godspeed, Papa General Hammond. The Gateverse won't be the same without you.
- Thank you, lovely anon, for my already-nibbled jellybeans. I totally buy your claim that they came that way. :) It was incredibly sweet of you, and was a lovely bright spot in a day that sorely needed one.

Shameless cat is shameless. Very.
I find it a little suspicious that it's now two fandoms in a row where right at the beginning I get involved writing a cracktastic series, and aj is somehow responsible for it... (Not that you're off the hook on this one, mrv3000...). SUSPICIOUS.

I get by with a little help from my lists.
- It is immensely gratifying to come back into work after a week off and have your boss exclaim, "I am SO GLAD YOU'RE BACK! Your job is hard."
- Have I mentioned lately how much I love Iron Man? Or how hot RDJ is as Tony Stark (see icon)? Or how utterly fucking made of awesome Pepper Potts is? CONSIDER IT MENTIONED.

Sundry and various.
I feel that I owe a public apology to surreallis for accidentally deleting her from the sg1-debrief watchlist like four months ago. Because it takes some special awesomeness to delete one of your co-moderators. And I am just that awesome. Love you, Jenn ( Read more... ) -
The Fannish Me
First, you fall in love with the show. And then you go looking for fan fiction, and you think, "Wow, a lot of this is awful, but some of this is really damn good!" And then you start checking certain people's web sites every few days, then every couple of days, then every damn day. Then you join a mailing list, because what you really need is 100 ( Read more... ) -
Fic Kit updated
A few months ago I put together a Fic Kit, a collection of useful links for fanwriters, specifically those writing in the Gateverse. I just posted an update to it, adding about 20 new links and three new categories: Formatting, Characterization, and Sex. -
