WOW! You've been really busy!!!

[velocitygrass]

I always like your weekly updates. I should to them too, though I'm usually not as productive ;)

But yeah, the last week I really had to fight to finish the various Big Bangs. But I did it!

[tarlanx]

I find it's good to look back occasionally and be reminded of things I've accomplished or fought my way through. A weekly update helps as I'm really not that much of a blogger :)

I was tempted to do AtlantisBB again this year but had too much stress in so many areas of my life that I decided to cut myself some slack! I'm almost caught up on all the mcsheplets challenges--plan to start writing the latest challenge story now!

\o/ for productive times! Looking forward to every one. :-D

[velocitygrass]

Thank you :)

LOL, I wanted to claim the ABB story - so I could read it early! but someone beat me to it! WHAAA! I'm looking forward to the AU Big Bang one!

[velocitygrass]

Awww. I wrote it for you (the so very belated Pay It Forward fic).

I do need one (or several) beta-reader/audiencer/context checker. There's so much in this universe that I'm afraid I might have some inconsistencies. So if you wanted to read and point out inconsistencies or things that need more explanation or are redundant...

And I'm a bit surprised my fic got picked early. For some reason, I've mostly had the experience that mine were picked late (though that was for multi-fandom fests and some of that Joe/David).

[winter_elf]

*ack!* lj never send me this message reply!

Yay! For me - I'm soooooo excited! it will be the 1st one I read.

I'm a horrible beta - so I would not have been much help there. I'm glad you did find someone.

I've seen John Farr posts before, but what exactly is it?

[velocitygrass]

The John Farr posts started with lavvyan's story "Cycle". People started to write sequels, mostly in the same universe. There's a community for the universe that includes stories and meta: john_farr

Like others, I felt inspired by Lavvyan's story, though I didn't follow the canon that others have established, so my particular John!Farr universe is a separate branch off, starting with the story " Waiting to Enagage".

thank you!

I remember looking at the community once before, and deciding not to read because it sounds like there's a lot of other pairings (and by that I mean Rodney/Other and John/Other), and McShep is my OTP. I have a difficult time reading them with others :\ Perhaps I'll just read the John/Rodney snippets though...

I'll definitely be giving yours a go, though!

Re: thank you!

[velocitygrass]

Yes, that might be another reason why I never read in the main universe. I can only read John/Other, Rodney/Other under very specific circumstances. My story (the second one that comes between what I posted and the Big Bang) will actually have some John/Other engagements and mention of a relationship (as well as the John/Nancy marriage), but it's very clear that John isn't happy with his life until he meets Rodney.

McShep is definitely my OTP too :D

[silver_cyanne]

Yep, you're still amazing. :)

[velocitygrass]

Aww, thank you :)
