Of the good. Of the unbelievably good.

[minxy]

There is stuff going down today.

There is stuff going down that may be beyond my ability to handle, it's so good.

There is so much overwhelmingly wonderful stuff going down today that even the fact that my phone appears to have thoroughly died feels like an amazing, flail-worthy, wonderful thing. That is how beyond my head I am right now.

Flailing.

raqs, who is so wonderful I'm not sure I deserve her, declared me a new fanfiction genre. And no, not declared it for me, declared me to be a new fanfiction genre. With fanon and raven locks and multiple ficlets! People are writing wonderfully hilarious fics!

alizarin_nyc wrote a Minxy Sue ficlet in which Jack and Daniel adore me and then Sam appears to foil their plans for adoration. I have purple-blue eyes and raven locks. (No, no! It's okay, it's a comment-fic. It won't hurt.)

ivorygates wrote a Minxy Sue Fic in which SG teams are trying to win me fairly as booty in poker games but Sam keeps cheating and diverting me to private rooms. I have eyes the color of a Goa'uld personal shield and a knack for naquadah power generator science and I am BOOTY. *glee*

ETA: lol! And green_grrl and delphia2000 in the comments below! Hee! I charm the savage Daniel and Sam and Unas!

This is teh awesome. I think, too, that all Kate Heightmeyer fic ought to be included as a sub-category in the Minxy-Sue genre since I am fairly convinced any stories with her in them are all about me (especially when she gets the girl). But seriously, this is amazing. I want to hug you and squeeze you and love you and call you 'George.'

troyswann unknowingly helped define the genre before it was a genre by using the word 'minxy' (which I have totally made up, btw. The word 'minx' means a pert girl, complete with adjective. To add a y adjectivizes a noun which comes supplied with it's own adjective already,and makes no sense but is wonderful nonetheless) in a fic! And everyone totally doesn't care that it's not a real word because it's soooooo appropriate. Contains Teyla and Cadman, some of my very favorite minxy chicks. Wanna Ride? Let's Ride. Gen, PG or something, and wonderful.

*bounces*

See? Wonderful. Do you know what else? There are wonderful fics about FRIENDS and the Thelma and Louise friendship ficathon in which rydra_wong posted the Sha're fic (Scotoma) I have been loving in SILENCE (well, I told RW, obviously) ever since I was first bounced with the idea. And cofax7 has posted a fantastic Firefly/Farscape crossover too for Thea (Contredanse) in which Aeryn and Zoe are wonderful and there are witty subtitles to the chapter headings.

But I will save that for another proper recs post, along with more explicit love for a not work-safe Mitchell/Sheppard Retrograde fic (Expatriate) from ltlj, wot I read of the fics I've been linked for Sam/Jack (about halfway through), a great Daniel in absentia gen fic about trying to replace him during S6 (Numerology by Random--thanks Aurora) and all the other stuff I've read lately.

BECAUSE.

The dissertation defense date is being set. *is wide-eyed* Barring last minute adjustments here and there to the starting hour, or perhaps the day if the auditorium is full, and Mom and Dad shifting their plans to go to Alaska back 3 days so as to be there and throw parties and turning in the final paperwork and stuff....

I have a tentative date. It is August 17th.

I have A DATE.

*does not know what to do with self*

You... you... *grabs fandom by the lapels* YOU ARE ALL WONDERFUL.

*pries hands off of your clothes and attempts to smooth collars* *badly*

*flails*

You come within arm's length, you get hugged. Fair warning. *loves fandom*

ETA: My mother just hit my car while it was parked in the driveway and broke the signal light and I DO NOT CARE *is still really, really happy*

All the wonderfulness (hey, I thought we were supposed to make up words around here) that is Minxy! Yay for a Date! Yay for genre! Yay for all that good stuff. But most of all. I ADORE your icon! *flails* and *giggles*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

surrealphantast made that icon, along with the base for the 'evil thesis defense committee' icon that I made.

And my mother just hit my car. I'm so slap happy I'm grinning about that.

I think I need to go running, I have way too much energy. But perhaps I should stop at the auto-shop first and pick up a new tail-light.

[katie-m.livejournal.com]

I have A DATE.

Woo hoo! Congratulations.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

*grins hugely*

*takes a deep breath*

You know, it's possible I might have to do a little work to prepare for this whole thing. With all the parties. N'stuff. Tomorrow, obviously.

[eve11]

I have a tentative date. It is August 17th.|

Woohoo!!! :) Congrats!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

Thanks. How close did I get to your date?

[eve11]

Desperatly trying to be done by August 29th.

*looks at sad state of document and results*

*laughs so that she doesn't have to cry*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

*snort* Like it's possible to ever be done.

*considers snapping out of the euphoria to actually do some work*

[surreallis.livejournal.com]

You're so cute right now. :P

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

*grins hugely*

*hugs the Dickens out of you*

*bounces us together*

[alizarin-nyc.livejournal.com]

Hee!

Awesomeness. That's my favorite non-word. And there must be more Minxy Sue fic! I'm thinking of a High School AU with Minxy Sue as the new student and Teyla the queen of the cheerleaders...

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

Yyaaaaayyyyyy, did you see there's more? More fic in comments? None have come close to a HS cheerleading AU, however. I am really buff, you know, and could totally toss Teyla into the air and catch her gracefully.

And if I (whoops!) got to feel up her waist a little bit, what's a girl to do? Must be safe.

[green-grrl.livejournal.com]

"Minxy Sue! No! Be careful!"

Minxy Sue just gave Daniel a fond, mildly exasperated look. "It's okay, Daniel. I'll be fine."

Daniel knew that if anyone else gave him that kind of reproach, it would have gotten his back up. Whenever Jack did it he was such an assho... A-hole. (It wouldn't do to swear in front of Minxy Sue, not even in his thoughts.) But Minxy Sue... all he felt about her looking at him, even in admonishment, was melty.

He watched nervously, trapped on the wrong side of the river, as Minxy Sue continued her confident approach to the unas. Submissive posture, he tried to mentally beam to her. Ka keka.

The unas growled at the unfamiliar femal 'uman approaching him.

"Chaka!" she chided. "Stop that this instant. I'm not going to harm you. I'm a friend of Danyel's."

From the far shore Daniel winced, sure that the next sight he would have would be her stunning form shredded by the powerful creature.

Instead Chaka paused, and gave a surprised sniffing grunt. "Ka Nay?"

"Of course I'm your friend, silly!" The trill of her laughter disarmed all tension.

Chaka studied her more closely, and became lost in the pools of her eyes, shining like the twin holy moons of his home planet. He dropped to a crouch and lifted his head to chant in prayer-meditation at the sight.

"Oh, Chaka." She giggled delightfully and tossed her head. "Don't be such a silly. Look, I brought you a treat." She pulled him upright again.

"Nan?"

"Chaaaaka," she chided. "I'll bet you think it's funny, getting Daniel to learn your language with his awful unas accent. But I know better. Come on, now."

Daniel gaped as the great beast said clearly, "Food?" Then literally ate from the palm of Minxy Sue's hand.

Yup, they'd have help getting out of this fix after all, and yet another galactic citizen had fallen for the charms of Minxy Sue.

Bwahaha! This is never getting old!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

And so I tame the savage beast (sometimes called Daniel).

Plus really? Daniel learned like, three words, dude! I'm sure Chaka was disappointed with his progress.

You are awesome. I'm so brilliant at diplomacy. *is demure and charming*

Re: Bwahaha! This is never getting old!

[green-grrl.livejournal.com]

It's not just a day, it's a season! *basks in the glow of your demure charmingness*

[cofax7]

Splendiferous! And I'm so glad you liked the story. I'm kind of disatisfied with it, myself, but not enough to, you know, apologize in the headers. *g*

Yay for a date! So pleased for you. And I can't wait to get home so I can read LTLJ and that Numerology story that y'all have been talking about but not linking to! Not that I'm bitter or anything.

[aurora-novarum.livejournal.com]

*Sheepish* Sorry. I think minxy's got it linked now. But just in case...

http://www.alldanielfic.com/viewstory.php?sid=628

I'm terribly inconsistent with remembering how to do lj links. So hopefully this way you'll see what the address is supposed to be.

Daniel's in it eventually, but most of the time, he's just there without being there...and not even mentioned by name for a long time...and it's really really good! :-D

Hopes teddy Daniel deflects from the bitter. ;-)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

*snags Aurora when she comes withing hugging range*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

I linked! I found and I linked! Am good little reccer person, even when writing half-arsed and totally distracted recs.

*gives rilly charming grin*

There is so much novelty in the female friendship ficathon that you get points alone for writing chemistry that's never addressed. Because of course Aeryn would gravitate toward Zoe, and of course she would respect the crew all the more for their esteem of Zoe. Totally makes sense that they would have so much in common, and so much trust, without ever talking about it, until they need to. You might wish to have done something else with the delivery, but the story itself is just so grand. And I really dug the delivery too, now you mention it.

I'm sooooo relieved you didn't dis it in the header, though. Man. That would have been a blow. Heh. (Dude, what was I doing ranting yesterday? The world is so shiny and haaaaappppppyyyy! There's nothing to rant about! Flowers! Happy!)

[lunachickk.livejournal.com]

*bounces with Minxy* Woohoo! Congratulations!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

*walks like an Egyptian*

[janedavitt.livejournal.com]

You're the best genre ever. I spit on angst :;pfui:; Schmoop? I don't think so!

All hail the minxiest genre of all!

:-)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

CHARM, baby! Minxy Sue fic is alllll about the charm, and a wicked set of skills in every arena needed. Plus the ability to make it alll better with a smile and a toss of the hair.

*is minxy*

[raqs.livejournal.com]

no, i think it's about the relentless yet relaxed lust everyone else feels when within radius of minxy sue's aura.

yup.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

Well, yes, that too.

[splash-the-cat.livejournal.com]

Yay for dissertation date! I'm glad your post-graduate pain will soon be over.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

Oh my GOD me too. I've about had it. Good thing there really aren't any more degrees for me to go after.

[sid]

I think the perfect world that Minxy Sue inhabits has overlapped with our universe, and wonderful things are undoubtedly to become commonplace.

For you anyway! :-)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

I think it might be the good luck Chinese character necklace (gold in a circle of jade) that my friend found for $12 in an import shop and gave me for my birthday.

Or fandom. I think fandom could totally be credited with teh love.

And I hate to admit it, but I think I'd rather have my Ph.D. for evar than Daniel for a few years (until he dies next time.)

[aurora-novarum.livejournal.com]

Yay! To be this happy after your car's been hit? That's happy!

Glad you're having such fun, and that you finally have a date...an concrete date, and I hope everything goes wonderfully fantastic for you August 17th. After all, you're already saving the SG-1 universe from Goa'uld and Unas. :-D

Provides cake, because what's a celebration without cake?

Dances with minxy.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

Oh, pshaw, that Unas was a pussycat.

Caaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

*grabs you up and twirls you 'round the dance floor*

[raqs.livejournal.com]

Minxy Sue makes everyone happy.

But defense dates make MINXY happy.

I am SO thrilled. No, really. More thrilled than that, even. I couldn't be more thrilled. So you enjoy your day. You deserve it.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

Defense dates make Minxy really happy. Almost crying happy, because I was really convinced it was that close to stalling out. And I'm just that tired of advocating for myself when it so closely resembles hitting one's head repeatedly against a brick wall.

*smiles rilly widely*

I'm purty durned proud I made this happen. I'm taking full credit. Advisor? Cursory credit only, and only 'cause he'll get me a foot in the door.

[wraith816.livejournal.com]

OMG, YAY FOR YOU. MUCH INCOHERENT YAY.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[delphia2000.livejournal.com]

I am having a 'wonderful day' myself and I revel and happy dance in both our honors!

*drabble for you*

As Sam watched Minxy Sue's every graceful move down the cafeteria line, Daniel leaned over and whispered, "Did you hear about how she defended her thesis? It was with a two-handed broadsword. Gave her advisor a flat-top haircut at the end. I'm telling you, she's wild."

"My kinda wild," Sam grinned at him.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

Heard that. You deserve it too. Let's party, baby!

OMG drabble! Sam totally wants me, man. I am wild. I am minxy.

*is pert, and also saucy, sometimes even in the professional setting when they're really really obnoxious*

[amnellwyvern.livejournal.com]

Yay for Minxy genres! Yay for dissertation defense dates! Yay for cars being hit! *........* Wait? That last one doesn't sound right somehow. *shrugs* Yay anyway!! *giggles and steps within arms length*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

*pounces and hugs madly*

I am haaaaappppppppyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!! If you're going to hit me with a car, now is a good time!

[rydra_wong]

Yay date!!!!!!!!!!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

Confirmations coming in from everyone: it's seems to work all the way around.

I have. A Date.

A finish line.

Oh. My. God.

Not in the least surprised to see you getting such nice recs and f/b from everyone over Sha're, though.

[princessofg.livejournal.com]

congratulations on ALL THAT, esp. on the defense date. a huge milestone. well done.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

Thank YOU! Took some work, lemme say. *huge sigh of relief*

[jalabert.livejournal.com]

This may sound bizarre, but I thought the dissertation defense was the easiest part of my entire doctoral studies experience. One of my advisors is still talking about how calm and relaxed I was during my presentation--and that was two years ago. You've reached the end of the tunnel--you SHOULD be euphoric!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

Actually, doesn't sound bizarre. I sort of expect the same thing, after all the difficulties with the process. I'm hoping that by just being well prepared that will be good enough and it'll sort of be going through the motions. At this point, they've all annoyed me enough that I'm not really scared of them at all, I'm just wary of any power tripping antics (and I think they've got all of that out of their system.)
