1. I don't know if Gotham intends my takeaway from this week's episode to be that Zsasz and Headhunter need to be murder boyfriends, but that's pretty much where I went. They can go shopping for cool assassin outfits and compare notes on how weird Penguin is when he cries into one of Ed's old suit jackets. I'd read about a million words of that.

2a. I am on an SGA nostalgia kick. I've started re-watching the show with Emma, and I think I want to start writing fic again. I've been reading a whole bunch of Old School McShep and, and I just miss how much fun I had writing in that fandom. And the fic holds up; I go back and read some Old School Buffy, and a lot of the time, my tastes have moved on, but not so with the Old School SGA fic. Such high quality stuff in that fandom.

2b. I'm thinking of writing a McShep fic first, but I'm open to anything. If you were in SGA fandom, what fic did you always want to read that never materialized? Give me all your prompts--any genre, pairing, trope. Or just talk to me about the show and the characters and dynamics you wish had been explored but weren't. I'm having so much fun sticking my toes back in these waters. Come swim with me.

4. Josh saw Thor today; my turn is tomorrow. I can't wait.

5. Emma is really struggling with friend issues right now, and I don't know what to do to help her. One of her friends is really messed up; she's living in a neglectful, borderline abusive, household (but nothing I could call child services about); the girl has a lot of issues as a result. I'm pretty sure she has an eating disorder. Emma is mature enough to understand that this girl's wildly fluctuating behavior and propensity to take out her anger on others comes from serious issues that the girl can't control, but she also knows it's not okay for this girl to be ugly to her. *sigh* Another friend is having parental issues that seem weird to me because I know the parents, but I don't have the sort of relationship with the parents where I could potentially intervene (not an abuse situation). Another friend is dealing with the fallout of having sex she wishes she hadn't had (at 13). Her closest friend is a grade younger than her and does a lot of extracurriculars, so they've spent very little time together this academic year. So Emma is feeling lonely and abandoned by her small friend group and also worried for her friends. This age is so hard. I'm so glad she and I are friends and that she trusts me and talks to me and also that she's not having sex.

Reviews!

I am forgoing ficcage for this round of recs because end-of-term grading is killing me, and I've been super sick. But I have not abandoned that idea. :)

In fact, I've got several pages of Inara/Nandi already written for Nanshe and another fic plotted out that I'm calling "The Politics of Perfume" in which Elizabeth Weir and her gradschool buddies get schooled by their mentor on how to use perfume as a negotiating tactic and to develop personae.

Nanshe, Embalming Fluid, Envy, The Apothecary, Croquet, and Black Vines )

So to recap: an imp of Croquet and a sample of Black Vines to good homes.

Meme answer for [livejournal.com profile] the_emu: a magnificent bunny that lurks in the back of your mind, but you'll probably never write because it's too big to tackle

This is a story I'm not going to write for many reasons LOL but here it is in all its glory. It's an oldie but a goodie I have C&Ped from a post I made years ago.


Sheppard and Caldwell are captured by slave traders who specialize in . . . wait for it . . . SEX SLAVES! And they are trained in the sensual arts over a long period of time by this one guy who decrees that they must always be naked. And oiled. Their training starts with erotic massage and culminates in full-on manloving. But it takes an excruciatingly long time between steps; so all they do for two weeks is give each other backrubs LOL before moving forward to KISSING and so on. The fantasy also involves a lot of the Trainer watching them on video and wishing they would just get on with actually doing it, which they don't for a long time because they're military. And because they don't really like each other. But eventually, they do have sex and FALL IN LOVE but no one can ever know when they're rescued because of DADT but Rodney figures it out because he and Sheppard are best friends and Rodney connives a trip for Sheppard and Caldwell to the mainland for which Sheppard is eternally grateful as there's fellatio in a jumper and then DADT is repealed after months of pining for each other and Elizabeth is shocked but supportive and Ronon and Teyla don't see what the fuss is all about.


I don't read a lot of slave fic anymore (although I used to read it all the time), but this story still appeals to me. The problem is that I don't want to write it; I want to *read* it. LOL

I just finished rewatching SGA with my daughter and was reminded all over again how much I love all things Gateverse. To that end, I would like to host a low-pressure fanwork fest focused on SG-1, SGA, and SGU.

How The All Fanwork Gateverse Extravaganza Works

1. All fanworks allowed! This means icons, artworks, gifsets, fic, rec sets, meta, vids and any other fannishness you want to share.

2. All ratings and genres of fanworks allowed! This means het, slash, and gen; this means Adult and rated G; this means AU and cross-over and fusion and Gateverse actor RPF; this means kinky and vanilla; this means drabbles and long fics.

3. All incarnations of the Gateverse allowed! This means SG-1, SGA, SGU, actor RPF, and movieverse.

4. Please respond to this post with fanwork prompts. In the subject line, indicate what kind of fanwork you are prompting for and for which show. (Examples: Subject line: Meta Prompt; SGA or Subject Line: Fic Prompt; SGU) Remember, prompts may differ between the LJ/DW versions of this post, so you might want to check them both.

5. You do not have to sign up for a prompt. You do not have to create a fanwork to leave a prompt. Everyone is free to leave as many prompts as desired with no obligation to fill any of them.

6. If you get inspired by a prompt, create a fanwork and post it wherever you like. Drop a link to your fanwork in this post under the prompt that inspired it just like you would on a kinkmeme or other kind of comment fest. Please indicate if your fanwork requires any warnings. At the end of May, I will make a master post linking to all the prompt fills for easy readability.

7. You can also link to any Gateverse fanwork you create during this time *not* inspired by a prompt to this post. Sometimes inspiration doesn't quite fit the dictates of a prompt, but those fanworks have a home here, too!

9. Please promote this in your personal journals and in any communities you think might be interested. I think it would be wonderful if we could get the fannish momentum rolling in the Gateverse again.

To Recap:

Sometime between now and the end of May, play in the Gateverse sandbox and then come and tell me about it, pretty please. LOL

ETA: we now have banners courtesy of the very talented [personal profile] mific!!!!! Many thanks. :)

1. I did not have a stroke, nor do I have meningitis. Instead, I had a headache. A headache. Wow. Okay. At least my doc expressed the proper jealousy that I got to see Daniel Tosh live in Hotlanta while he, sadly, did not.

2. I made the most amazing dinner tonight: a) fennel/spinach soup with a roasted red pepper couli and b) fresh linguine tossed with goat cheese and fresh herbs and topped with a soft boiled egg. Recipes upon request.

3. I kinda want to read this story (courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] hpstoryfinders): Hello, I am search for a fic that Snape get the will that said he is Elvis Presley's son, and he move to Graceland...I am not sure if it is Snarry or not , because it is very long time ago...Hopefully anyone have read it before and still remember where is it. Thank you!

4. I want to write this story where Vegas!SGC runs into Dawn Summers. And are duly impressed with her kickassery.

5. I'm sorta writing a sequel to that Giles/Jayne thing. It starts: Mal says, "You ain't got to take up with Jayne, Giles. You earned your spot on this boat free and clear."

6. Emma has been all day without a fever!!!!! She gets to go to school tomorrow. We are all relieved, especially Ems. She has read two Harry Potter books, a Boxcar children mystery, and a Goosebumps; watched TV; played her DS; and seen Voyage of the Dawn Treader (this was before we knew she had the flu). But she misses her friends. And Josh and I get to work. Whoooo! Or wait...

I just spent thirty minutes seriously considering rewriting Black Beauty with John Sheppard as Black Beauty, Rodney McKay as Ginger, and Carson Beckett as Merrylegs.

"Be the best horse you can, Beauty," General Hammond said, rubbbing down John's flanks. John nickered softly and swished his tail.

Oh, god.

Call the Skies by [livejournal.com profile] ana_grrl; SGA gen; PG
You know how sometimes you come across this fic that is so unique, that answers a question you didn't even know was troubling you, that induces the kind of envy you thought you'd rather not cop to? Yeah, that's this kind of fic. Ana takes the issues that were raised in "The Seed" and spins them to such a gloriously cool conclusion.

Life in Three Dimensions by [livejournal.com profile] bluflamingo; SGA Mitchell/Sheppard/Lorne; Adult
I love a good threesome fic, but I especially love the threesome fic that acknowledges how difficult it must be to negotiate that kind of relationship. I love this fic for what gets unsaid, for the way things are difficult in a way I don't think any of the people involved anticpate and most of all I love this fic for the sweet, sweet twist of hope that threads through what is otherwise a rather melancholy piece.

[livejournal.com profile] ariadne83 has a theory; it's a bunny. #1 reason why somebody should be writing Rodney McKay/Brendan Gall fic!

Also, meme with me! I'm bored!

1) Make a list of 15 characters.
2) Assign each character a number.
3) Without telling anyone who's on the list or the character's assigned number, get questions from your flist about what they'd like to know about them, e.g., "If 5 + 9 had to rob a bank, could they pull it off?" (The more random the better!)
4) Post the answers and who was who on the list.

The fic I started where Rodney is captured and erotically tortured for weeks and turns to Halling (who is incidentally the Athosian's resident leather daddy) for help after rescue because Rodney NEEDS THE PAIN which makes John jealous and his hair go all flat--this is not going so well.

So please leave me a writing prompt; these will probably turn into drabbles, but who knows. Give me a pairing/character and a quote or a song lyric or a scenario or three adjectives, etc. Clearly I have no shame as we can see from my current writing project, so feel free to prompt me with your own embarrassing fic desires. LOL

SGA, SG-1, and SPN are fair game.

And the request line is now closed. *g*

Plot idea?

lunabee34: (help by jjjean65)
So, I'm moving forward on that SPN/SGA crossover. Things are not quite as woeful as they seemed previously; however, plot still remains elusive.

So, I ask: what would you most like to see in an SGA/SPN crossover? Plot? Character interactions? Sexual positions? LOL

I'm looking for inspiration here. (I haven't decided a pairing for the fic or even if there's to be one, so any and all suggestions on that front are welcome.)
lunabee34: (this ain't yo daddy's shipper fic by sto)
So, is there a huge disconnect between the kinds of stories you fantasize for your favorite characters and the kinds of stories you actually write for them? Because the answer for me is YES! Even if I have fantasized a story in excrutiating detail (which is how I fantasize--excrutiatingly. My fantasies come equipped with bathroom breaks for all and long expositiony bits that explain what everyone had for dinner and just how long that drive from Cheyenne Mt. to the HoJo is), I most likely will not write that story down for public consumption. I tend to actually write stories that interest me on an intellectual level rather than a sexual one. I want to *read* stories that are like the ones I fantasize, but I don't often write them.

Here's an example.

In which Lorraine wears her shamed, yet turned on face )

I would read the hell out of this story and feedback it and rec it on my journal and love it and name it George. But I have no compulsion to write it. I think that's because the act of writing de-eroticizes the scenario for me. It turns it from this situation that I think is hot into SOMETHING I AM TRYING TO GET RIGHT. You know what I mean? I want the characterization to be spot on and the dialogue to ring true and the language to be interesting and vital in the pieces I write. Translating something that turns me on into a product that I want to share with you guys takes me out of my comfort zone in terms of writing.

What about y'all? Am I alone in this?

ETA: I almost never get turned on or scared or saddened by the things I write. It's almost as if they don't affect me on an emotional level at all. (The only exception being "Thanatopsis" for which I bawled during the entire four hour period of time it took me to write it). I get the feeling this makes me a weirdo.

Also, where is all the Sheppard/Caldwell? *whines*
lunabee34: (spn: back in black by no_other_choice)
Has anyone else noticed the relative ease with which the verses of Stargate and Supernatural could coexist? Let’s say for a moment that the events of both series inhabit the same world; then the following is possible:

1. Demons are actually some form of Goa’uld in which the symbiote has learned to become incorporeal (through technology or some genetic mutation or whatnot). Think about it; most of Earth’s theology and mythology is actually based on aliens and their intervention anyway in the Stargate verse. SPN demons are very much like the Goa’uld; they parasitically inhabit a human body and then although the host remains, its consciousness is pushed to the backburner, allowing the demon to commit atrocities the host would never consider.

2. Vampires are actually the ten thousand year evolution of the Wraith. When the Ancients came through the Gate to the Milky Way, some intrepid scientist brought Wraith DNA or some piece of Wraith technology with her and voila, vampires.

3. The YED is interested in Sam because he has the ATA gene; so do all the other psychic children. We know from SGA that Ancients who were close to ascension developed powers like telekinesis and healing and mind-reading. Sounds a little like the psychic kids’ abilities, doesn’t it? Maybe when the YED feeds Sam his blood, he’s doing something to speed up his evolutionary process in order to allow those abilities to manifest. This would also explain why he’s not interested in Dean (he doesn’t have the gene) and why Mary seems to know him; she has the gene, too.

4. Now I can’t really explain ghosts in terms of Stargate, although you could do something with ascension or phasing or technology that traps people between states of existence. But I think it’s okay for ghosts to just be ghosts if aliens are just gonna be aliens.

5. How much fun would it be for Dean and Cameron to interact? Or Sam and Daniel? Or Dean and Sheppard? Or Ronon and Dean? Or Teyla and Sam? Or Papa Winchester and General Hammond? More fun than I can say here, I think.

Somebody needs to write this crossover. Please! If you know of a good SPN/Stargate Xover, let me know. I’ve only encountered one so far, an amazingly hot PWP where Rodney meets Dean, and I’d love to read something long and plotty.
lunabee34: (help by jjjean65)
Since y'all were not forthcoming with the Bonecrusher/Jeffrey Steingarten slash which I find personally devastating, maybe you can help me with something else. I've submerged myself in SGA to the exclusion of all else; I haven't read SPN in at least two months and I miss it. I have got to get back in the groove as the premiere is approaching, so this is what I've done so far:

I listened to my SPN mixed CDs today (and watching Emma holler, "Aaaaaoooooooooo yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, Aaaaaooooooooooooo on the road to Shambala," is pretty much as close to awesome as this life gets); I looked at all my pretty icons and thought long and hard about JP's biceps and JA;s jaw; and I fantasized the perfect SGA/SPN crossover that one of you should write because it ROCKS (So, vampires are real, but they're genetically bastardized versions of Wraith; the Ancients in their infinite fucktardedness wisdom brought a Wraith to Earth back in the day and let it get away to spawn vampires. SGC finds out and the SGA team end up fighting vamps with Sam and Dean. Or, you know, the Scoobs. Either way, it's all good.).

But I need some fic to get me kickstarted. Rec something you've read in the past two months that you think would be up my alley. Don't forget the J2 (especially if CMM makes an appearance)!!!!!!! C'mon, fire me up! :) (Yes, that is a Def Leppard reference)
lunabee34: (help by jjjean65)
OMG I have the best story idea EVEREVEREVER!!!!!!!! And I don’t think I can write it even though I have fantasized outlined the plot in great detail and even MADE MYSELF CRY AT NIGHT IN BED INTO MY PILLOW HOPING MY HUSBAND WILL NOT HEAR because this story could be so damn good.

That’s why I want you (yes, YOU!) to write it for me. I’ll do .... Well, I dunno what I’ll do, but I swear it’ll be awesome and you’ll love it. Please, please somebody write this. You should probably know I can shamelessly beg for quite a while.
