Fanfic is eternal
After Methos quoting it in Highlander, I’ve wondered about Aristotle’s Poetics. Found a copy of a Penguin Classics version in a used bookstore, with a scholarly Introduction longer than the actual Aristotle. So I’m at the point where he’s describing Tragic Plots, and he’s referring to the subjects of those plots: the well known stories of families ( Read more... ) -

So I'm over 10K into an SGA story that's allowing me to play with a few things that came together.
1) I wanted to play around with the idea of the BDSM universe-type setting.
2) I wanted to play around with having multiple McKays.
3) I wanted to play around with an alternate-history timeline.
So the result is a fic set post series and it has a McKay ( Read more... ) -

I forgot to post this months ago, so if you need anything more after the glut of Secret Santa and Yultide fic, here's another one.
The last installment of the Low Visibility Operations series is out. It's an SGA AU where Cameron Mitchell didn't make it off the ice intact and becomes a computer scientist for the SGC, specializing in Ancient systems ( Read more... ) -

2 random things
1. Finally watching Leverage. Really enjoying it. I think I resisted because I loved Christian Kane as Lyndsey in Angel. I thought he was such a deep actor even in a kind of cartoon show, and couldn't see him as "The Hitter". Then we got to S2E2, and holy crow, there it all is in his MMA speech.
2. I have never had a work podficced. I mean, I'm not ( Read more... ) -
Secret Santa 3
Dear Secret Santa,
Take John and Cam for a walk. Dress them in other costumes. Are they competing war photographers? Chefs in the same kitchen? Commercial Pilots? Or their regular Stargate selves?
Are they settled and domestic? In a love-hate relationship? Just meeting and deciding what they think about each other?

Stargate Secret Santa #2
Dear Secret Santa,
Thank you for thinking about this prompt.
John Sheppard works in the art recovery/art crimes section of the FBI. Rodney McKay is a gallery owner. There is a painting (or other work of art) of questionable provenance. Hijinks ensue.
(Questionable provenance could mean looted, stolen, faked, or (buh-buh-bummmmm) alien origin.)

Stargate Secret Santa
Dear Secret Santa,
I found SGU to be really problematic. I would love a story with Ming-Na Wen's HR character, Camile Wray, to be the emotional badass. She was often presented as an antagonist to the military component, but I would love to see her trajectory through the SGC as a strong advocate for consent and trauma-informed HR choices in the face ( Read more... ) -
Writing questions
Got this from Lucy Dan on Medium.
[1] Does writing energize or exhaust you?

[2] What is one food that represents the country you are currently in?
Hot dogs, mostly.
[3] What type of friend would you like to be?
That attentive one that you ( Read more... )
