minxyTeal'c fic: drafted and coming in at >4000 words. in betaland, she's a much better judge than I am.
Brain: running at 20%, MAYBE. I swear the on-again, off-again headache has made it impossible for me to read at a reasonable rate. Could be pre-migraine, but that'd be unusual. I think a tension headache is more likely. It feels like wet laundry in here.
Icons: run, do not walk, to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
or_mabinogi's journal for gorgeous high art black and white nude icons. Really lovely, see example on this post.
Dr. Who: still haven't watched it as the parents have commandeered the T.V. to watch West Wing.
NCIS: there's an Abby-centric ep this week. I'm so there.
Stuff Accomplished Today: besides writing for fannish stuff? Nada. Brain has taken a mental health day. *pokes brain*
I shall, however, point you to recent works of impressive fannish natures:
janedavitt wrote a smidge of a moment between Sheppard and Jack in the helicopter at the beginning of Rising, possible passing of a torch we never saw with Mitchell, and a nice beginning to all sorts of possiblities for two men of similar priorities in the service. Seven Minutes Out, John & Jack, PG-13-ish, gen.
ana_grrl successfully managed Firefly Mal/Simon! Hot concept, fill in the steamy blanks with your own favorite interpretation. Yum. A Very Smutty Mal/Simon Ficlet.
brain shut down mid-read butmmmchelle posted smut for a Sunday and my brain shorted out at least twice from the sexiness levels. What It Gives. NC-17, SGA, John/Rodney
(seriously, it's too hard to explain stuff, and my fingers feel foggy typing.)
minnow1212 wrote an amazing, creative, unusual piece about urban legends in the Pegasus galaxy. I can't sell it, but everyone should read it. Look for the line 'Don't you already know how it ends?" Twelve Things They Will (Someday) Say in the Pegasus Galaxy
I think Pru just posted a new part of a WIP I was reading, but I can't remember if I was reading Sky Full Of or not. Wait, no-- that's the mummy fic, right? I was totally reading that. I was looking forward to more... I'm going to wait until my brain is working.
Someone is reccing Sam/Jack at stargateficrec and I'm tempted to read the stuff that looks like messed-up and/or restrained 'ship. Does this make me a bad slasher? Does it make me a worse slasher than I was already since I willingly and knowingly write het in the Stargate 'verse? I swing both ways, people, and it's time I came out about that.
Wait...taselby wrote something (cupcakes! not flocked! Cam & Teal'c! PG!),
Did I tell you about nandamai's funny funny Sam/Daniel & Jack OT3 with Teal'c suffering? Teal'c suffers, man. ADEA? I did, I told you about that... I think. Um, adult for sex in the rain.
andkernezelda wrote something S1 Farscape (spoilers for the Nerve)
And I'll update as I can manage because I've used up my working brain for the moment. If I managed to embed all the links I'll make you a watch.
ETA: funny and logical all at the same time: Offer Extends to the Pegasus Galaxy by kabukivice, SGA, John/Rodney and PG-13-ish.

Date: 2006-04-25 02:01 am (UTC)In an ironic and joking way, I understand, but I gather there are some people who are completely serious about it, and I don't understand where that comes from. So far I've managed to surround myself with fans who enjoy it all, for which I am very thankful. I don't imagine fandom would be fun for me at all if I were constantly hearing of characters and ships I liked being bashed at every turn.

Date: 2006-04-25 04:56 am (UTC)Farscape fans were well trained in the free love ideas, though, even the John/Aeryn shippers seem really open to love of all flavors, although the 'scapers I've met here are all from LJ and maybe I'm biasing myself to a pre-selected for group, but there you are. Sometimes you gotta have opinions.
In Stargate, though, tptb made the mistake of half-committing to a 'ship that they did not follow through on, leading to a group who felt entitled, and several groups who suddenly felt like outsiders, it wasn't pretty. On the boards and on some lists you can still find slightly more militant battle ax wielders, but often I find now that 'ew, het' or 'ew, slash' reactions tend to be just a wish to avoid the battles, and not deal with the melodrama. I'm more pleased than I can say to be more or less in a safe little space here where everyone seems to have a 'write and let write' ideology. Variety, oh yeah.
