health to [my] navel and marrow to [my] bones

After the last post I made about the lack of femslash discussion in sga_talk, I was inspired to look a little more closely at my own writing to see how often I write het, femslash, m/m slash and gen.

A Breakdown by Fandom

Drabbles and pieces of a ficletly length are denoted with a D. I tend to write a lot of drabbles and wanted to note when I was writing something that is shorter than fic-length.

2 male/male slash pieces



It's quite possible I added wrong in SGA and SPN as those are the biggest categories of fic for me, but these numbers should be close enough for government work. That means of roughly 140 total pieces, I have written roughly 57 gen pieces, 49 male/male slash, 25 het, and 9 femslash.

*muses*

It's gratifying to see that I write even more gen than I assumed (and so much gen that is from the POV of women), but I really thought I had written more pieces of femslash than that. Must rememdy soon.

When it comes to Writing People Who are Not White, I do even more poorly than with femslash. One of my Spander fics is an ensemble fic and Gunn is featured there. I have written one fic from Inara's POV and one Inara/Kaylee drabble. In SGA, Ronon appears fairly regularly in my writing and there's a drabble from Miko's POV. Teyla is featured in two fics and Bates is featured in two fics as well. In SPN, I have a Gordon-centric drabble and Agent Henricksen features prominently in one of the Sam-centric gen pieces. *boggles* That's pretty pitiful, actually. So yes, resolve on that front as well.

Stay tuned....Coming up soon, Whispers! Why SGA is made of Gigantic Fail.

Whispers! Why SGA is made of Gigantic Fail

I was so annoyed by this episode that I couldn't even bring myself to write something about it.

[lunabee34.livejournal.com]

I know. I know. I know.

The Fail is of such Gigantic proportions that I can't even....*shakes head*

I mean, this is the last season, SGA. Pls to not be acting like a dumbass in it.

I wish I could hold out more hope, but I really don't. Then again, low expectations means that I might end up happily surprised occasionally, right?

[lunabee34.livejournal.com]

Well, to be completely honest (and I know not everyone feels this way), in my estimation, SGA is pretty much always enjoyable and often times stellar viewing for me. In five seasons, they've really only had like three episodes that I thought were complete crap. But this one is the very crappiest of them all. *sigh* Woolsey is not amused.

[ana-grrl.livejournal.com]

I don't have high expectations of SGA, although this serves me well because it means when I love an episode, I'm really happy about it. But the show is often really annoying in terms of gender and ethnicity issues to me. And, I'll be honest, I don't like Sheppard ! *g* But I still find many of the episodes pretty entertaining (particularly, you know, when Major Lorne is being a robot or something) - I just don't expect them to be profound in any way.

[lunabee34.livejournal.com]

Oh, Major Lorne. I love it when he breathes. LOL

I do like Sheppard. I feel like, beginning in season 4, his characterization took this turn that I'm not always comfortable with, but overall I do like him. Friday night, not so much, though.

[ana-grrl.livejournal.com]

Oh, Major Lorne. I love it when he breathes.

He does it so well! So...efficiently.

Friday night, not so much, though

To me it was just another example of how fucking clueless and idiotic he can be.

[lunabee34.livejournal.com]

All that blood, aerating! LOL

I just, man. The John Sheppard in Whispers is not my John Sheppard. Maybe I'm wrong, but he seemed to be behaving very very OOC to me and I just wanted to smack him for acting that way.

[ana-grrl.livejournal.com]

All that blood, aerating!

Preparing him to kick some ass, in an efficient and slightly sarcastic way. So hot!

but he seemed to be behaving very very OOC

Maybe he was even more sexist and idiotic than usual! I don't know. The reason I don't like him is that I've never had a particularly good impression of the way he interacts with women.

[lunabee34.livejournal.com]

I hadn't really viewed him as sexist before this episode. In season 4 he starts to behave really awkwardly around women sometimes and not in an endearing way but more of a "what is your damage?" way, but he never pinged me as behaving misogynistically until Whispers. Which maybe I'm not watching closely enough because I'm distracted by Lorne's eyebrows. So groomed!

[ana-grrl.livejournal.com]

In season 4 he starts to behave really awkwardly around women

Yeah, jerkily. I always get the impression he's trying to hold back because it's expected. But, you know, I most likely have a much more negative view of Sheppard than most of the SGA fandom. I am aware of my bias!

because I'm distracted by Lorne's eyebrows. So groomed!

I've never noticed the level of eyebrow groomed-ness! Clearly I am going to have to pay more attention.

[lunabee34.livejournal.com]

I just read the most awesomest Sheppard/Mitchell/Lorne threesome and given that we've just been talking about how much Sheppard is really not your cuppa, you might not be interested, but it's all from Lorne's POV and it's just, man. Good.

[ana-grrl.livejournal.com]

I would be willing to try that out! Is it the rec you posted the other day?

[lunabee34.livejournal.com]

Yes! It's this one:
