the next (and concluding) chaapter

My eyes are the size of saucers. How the blue-eyed hell are you going to wrap this all up in one chapter?!?!?!?!!?

I always use my girly scream icon for you, you know. Damn, you're good.

How the blue-eyed hell are you going to wrap this all up in one chapter

As I told someone else, being a largely immoral creature, there's the classic expedient of simply faking my own death...

Very keen! My favorite holiday!

Obviously you can ignore blatant scientific nonsense in the middle of an alleged science fiction movie. Can even you forgive Zemeckis for having a little white kid from the suburbs invent rock guitar?

*Blinks.*
*Blinks again.*

I have seen this movie I don't know how many times,and I swear I NEVER thought of this. ... I'm ... I'm just utterly, completely and totally horrified! Why the hell didn't I see this, oh, back in the 80s when I first freakin' watched this movie?

*sighs*
I haven't even finished the fic. That little line just stopped me dead in my tracks. Going back to finish now.

OK. Finished now ( ... )

While I particularly liked Atlantis-as-a-house because so many times houses in dreams are the same house, at least for me, and--and--oh my God, pretend I said something smart about the collective unconsiousness here. I can't put it together well enough, but this chapter was deeply frightening on a level I can't quite identify.

I particularly liked this because there was no question in Rodney's or John's mind that the house was, in fact, Atlantis, which I think is true to form. I know that whenever I dream of *home*, the house itself is completely unrecognizable, but I still respond to it as my house, e.g. home.

And yes, the creep-out factor is strong with this one (channeling my inner Yoda).

Eeek! Poor John. I'm really excited, though, that you're going to be wrapping this up shortly. I'm figuring that's going to be one long chapter. *g*

Or, you know, I'll just quit writing and go wandering off...

dashamte October 30 2006, 03:14:32 UTC

Selfish, I know. But I'll be so, so sorry to see this go.

You -- you *enabler*, you!

(lucky me!)
