I'm not here; you can't see me.

minxyI'm sort of doing a two week intensive course in finishing one's dissertation down here in Houston, and as a result haven't got a whole lot of leeway to be mucking around LJ and goofing off as I really do want to get some stuffs done.
But this shouldn't wait, because it's a plea. A PLEA, my flisters! There are few Teal'c disciples the way there are, say, Daniel disciples and even fewer people who take the chance and write the man. He is underloved, but it's crazy because even though the man is softspoken and stoic, he's also a father separated from his son, a widower who feels like a cuckold, a lover who has never made the same commitment he was able to make with his wife, a hero without a home, a student become teacher in the wrong classroom, a student of human behavior and possibly the perfect observer as well as being a most capable, controlled and powerful force.
Now, why isn't their more fiction written about Teal'c? Write him as a periphery character, as the subject, as one who has two lifetimes of backstory untouched by canon... or go over to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
tealc_ficathon and sign up for a prompt and give some ideas for another to use and start there; because, let's face it, the guy is a little intimidating, with his perfect grammar and his lack of slang, and you gotta start somewhere.
There are few of us who are vocal about Teal'c, at least on my flist; this brand spankin' new ficathon could really use some participation beyond the core group of people we can reasonably rely on to represent. So consider going over there if you're a writer but haven't really been T focused, or if you're a fan but don't know where to start with writing, or if you've ever ever thought Teal'c ought to have a little more fanfic love. Go. People the ficathon. Take a chaaaaaaance!
You needn't write from Teal'c's POV, and so far the requests (there aren't many yet) are pretty open-ended, with mostly people just asking you to please, for the love of God avoid the mpreg stories. You can do that, right?
It won't hurt. Please think about it? Go look and laugh at my requests? Sign-ups open 'til the ides of March.
(Et tu, Brute?)

Date: 2006-03-01 02:16 pm (UTC)You're in Houston? I'm really impressed with what I've seen so far (weather doesn't hurt). You don't have a recommendation for a good Indian restaurant, do you?

Sadly, I have absolutely no reccomendations for Indian. I've never tried it, and I pretty much stay up on the NW side of town and there are not a lot of really *great* restaurants of any sort up this way- that I've discovered yet. I think the best place we've been in a while is Fogo de Chao, which is a pricey but good Brazillian steakhouse with a killer salad bar. It's on Westheimer

I think I'm... central. Yeah, maybe right in the middle? Dunno. My friend K is a coworker here and she loves Indian but hasn't found a really great restaurant yet. I'm on the lookout (I love ethnic food. Had some really good Pho the other day, but I think we could do better.)
