So. Here they are. Sixty-odd first lines of fanfic. Almost all the 'Gate stuff in here is online somewhere; almost none of the Buffy stuff is (because it's not finished.) So here are some teasers for things yet to come ( Read more... )

You know, it's rather frightening how many of these I can identify.

:p

... :p I got about a fifth of Meg's, and I don't even read all the fandoms she writes... isn't scary psycho stalker fangirl. isn't.

Some of them are give-aways, though. Trance skipped through the Andromeda, happy and purple? Could that be anything else? :p

gvambat October 8 2004, 05:30:29 UTC

isn't either Shall we be not scary psycho stalker fangirls together then?

Glitterfic! It could be glitterfic!

:p

wisdomeagle October 8 2004, 05:35:13 UTC

Okay. *shakes roommate's hand*

It could. But it isn't. I don't think the glitterfic has that many capital letters.

Yeah, you don't make it easy... :-D maching_monkey October 8 2004, 17:54:44 UTC

I've already decided.

Wierd, to realize that while I'm flipping the coin, but there it is. I'm going to Atlantis. I'm going to leave everything I know behind and go to another freaking galaxy. And I'm just pretending to think about it. I already know.

And I know when I decided it, too--long before I got back to the US, anyway.

In the helicopter, when the general said he had no use for me if I didn't.

I don't even know him, and yet, here I am. Going to Atlantis. In another galaxy.

Maybe I just want to fell useful again.

:) Thank you. That was very nice.

And helpful in understanding Sheppard better... I have such a hard time understanding Sheppard.

I'm just pretending to think about it. I already know.

I really like that.

Thanks!

Squee! maching_monkey October 8 2004, 19:35:32 UTC

I'm very glad you liked it, Ari. Sheppard's a bit of a wierd and difficult duck, but I like him. :-D

"This buddy of mine, this pal, this chum, this ex-lover, has this special orange chair that he sits in for every game, probably sitting in it right now...""Are you absolutely sure this is the right station?" Daniel hunkered down to squint at the dial on the portable radio, holding his bottle of beer precariously tilted in mid-air ( ... )

Re: one-track mind? me? wisdomeagle October 12 2004, 17:20:04 UTC

Heh. Cuteness.

Although I so strongly suspect Jack is a Cubs fan... didn't he mention the Cubs somewhere early S1?

But of course he wouldn't root for the Yankees. That would just be wrong. :p

Re: one-track mind? me? mylittleredgirl October 12 2004, 17:22:26 UTC

I agree on the Cubs thing, but I suspect he also hearts the Twins. I did once write a drabble about Jack's reaction to a Cubs/Red Sox world series... I'll have to find that...

"I wish we'd thought to bring porn," said Sheppard, for perhaps the fifth time that evening.

"Speak for yourself," Elizabeth said, as she entered the room.

John looked up in surprise. "Elizabeth. How long have you been standing there?" He frowned at Ford. "How long has she been standing there?"

"I don't know, sir. Sorry, sir."

Elizabeth sat down, uninvited. Her expression was almost a smile, as her eyes caught John's. "If you're bored, Major, I'm sure that some excitement will present itself sooner or later."

"Do you know what I wish we'd thought to bring?" McKay asked. "Extra coffee."

wisdomeagle October 14 2004, 03:14:11 UTC

Heh. That last line is just perfect. :D

brightbeak October 14 2004, 03:22:52 UTC

i agree, taht last line really cuts to the core (porn's easy to replicate/create/etc, coffee on the other hand, it's a commodity that's worth more than it's weight in gold!)

;)
