Och god jul, venner. I had a lovely Christmas, full of friends and family. 'Twas wonderful, am loved. Also got a sewing machine, and an external hard drive, yay!

AND, being not too quick on the uptake, I've just realized that the rose (gone now, sadly) and mistletoe in my user info are not, as previously supposed, anonymous giftage, but are from PEOPLE! From kellifer_fic and ivorygates and so, so sweet. I'm sorry it took me so long to mouse over them and see they had hidden gift tags; it does not lessen my appreciation for such unlooked for gifts. Mad kisses to anyone who wants them. *is easy*

For you, me, us and ours:

Christmasy, from [livejournal.com profile] kellifer_fic: Five Annual Traditions that Take Place at the SGC in December. #1 is worth your time. Oh yes. Team, PG, SG-1.

Christmasy and a sweet, completely non-angsty discovery: Alcoholic Eggnog Not Needed by [livejournal.com profile] melayneseahawk, PG or PG-13, Jack/Daniel.

Christmasy in an SGA way from [livejournal.com profile] sdraevn: A Christmas Card, or a Christmas experienced with each member of the team. Gen, warm friendship. Ronon is more amazing the more I think about it.

From [livejournal.com profile] rowan_d, a Sam/Daniel ship or friendship piece dealing with the PTSD we never see on screen. Texture of Memory, PG-13. One of my favorite ways for Sam and Daniel to relate to each other.

[livejournal.com profile] sori1773 wrote a nice, believable Rodney/Ronon fic called Anomalies, NC-17, S2 SGA. Their understanding and misunderstandings of each other are particularly in character, where the communication is quirky and odd. Nice, I liked.

From the [livejournal.com profile] rare_pairings ficathon, an amusing little Sam/Cam, where Sam's leathers get her into trouble, but what Cam's wearing is the really dangerous outfit. Hee! Frolicky. All In A Day's Work by [livejournal.com profile] laurelaitaine, PG-13.

On the brink, kinky John/Rodney. BDSM and hot and visceral. John's needs and reactions and Rodney's yearning and instinct. Amazing. Edges, really, really NC-17, by [livejournal.com profile] neery.

Sam/Daniel/Jack OT3 from last summer by Meg ([livejournal.com profile] sage_theory): Passing Thus Alone which is elegant synchronous thinking and love, even of the platonic possibility, PG-13,

Also Sam/Daniel/Teal'c OT3 from and Ari ([livejournal.com profile] wisdomeagle) for Meg in the same ficathon: Highest Wisdom, Deepest Love. Has a dreamlike quality throughout, and a beautiful canonical basis. Feels believable and real and needed, by the end. NC-17.

PSA: Um, I sorta have a [livejournal.com profile] 3_ships fic in need of beta. It's due Saturday night, and it being the holidays and all, I don't want to assume that anyone is available to beta last minute, so this is a call for volunteers. Please? It'll be ready tomorrow and a threesome, but I think PG-13, likely. Well, Vala is around so you know they'll be innuendo and stuff... SG-1, S10 familiarity requested, and an ability to catch the odd grammatical mistake and poke me with a pointy stick when something could be better. Please?

Please? Did I say that? Help the tardy holiday time fic writer! *prepares to hit refresh to check for replies*

Right. Yuletide! (Please don't chide me for reading instead of getting my three ships fic done at a reasonable hour.) For those unfamiliar types, Yuletide is an amazingly large ficathon run for small fandoms only, small and rare. The weirder the better, though that may be my own preference. Authors are currently screened.

If You Can't Say Something Nice. Muppet Show, PG. I'm not kidding, the Muppet Show. Kermit relays the tale of how Waldorf and Stadler ended up watching a show they hate every week. The descriptions of Kermit at the end are marvelous, Danny Bonaduce (local radio personality to me) makes a notable appearance. Hee!

Dark Angel slash: Blame it on the Scotch. Logan/Alec, in a sweet little mind-blowing moment. S2, NC-17

A Dark Is Rising (Susan Cooper) fic, balm to those of us disturbed by the faith of a child for fallible adults in the final book: Eirias, Bran and Will, PG.

The Bourne Identity movies, Nicky and fear and loss and the not knowing how you became the person you are. Behavioural Software. PG-13, the fear is almost tactile in this writing; elegant.

I'll be available tomorrow afternoon and evening Pacific time for beta-duties. :-)

I will finish the fic and edit it for obvious needs in the morning, Pacific time.

And thank you, you just calmed me down a LOT. I feel better.

My pleasure! I'm still finishing up my story for [livejournal.com profile] 3_ships, too. 'Tis the season for surges of panic, apparently. ;-)

From: [identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/
Oh, good. We can panic in tardiness together!

p.s. OMG your icon. Did you *read* the Muppet Show yuletide piece? Aaaaiiiii!!!!!

From: [identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/
I'd like one more look at this tomorrow morning, but then it's off to you by noon. Whenever you get to it is fine, I know you're fighting the same deadlines I am. I'm happy to return the favor, btw. And thank you. Again.

I'll be online at various points in the day today; I'm cozily curled up at home trying to get all sorts of half-started projects done. :-)

'Tis the season for shiny! *blinks adoringly at yuletide* I only have half a dozen fic open in tabs right now. *g*

Date: 2006-12-27 07:28 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] whimsicalwhims.livejournal.com
Hee! I have so many tabs and windows open at the moment. I actually sat down a few hours ago to start to write a new fic, managed a mere 190 words, and then preceded to get very, very distracted, by fic and anything else remotely interesting that I could find.

I was reading about prehistoric buried babies (http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20061207/sc_livescience/buriedbabiessuggestprehistoriccompassion) at one point. If that's not a sign of procrastinating on writing, then I don't know what is.

I so sympathize, and am happy to provide oodles of fanfic to assist with the procrastinating.

*sigh* I wish I hadn't looked at the calendar. *is morose*

Yep, I should be writing not reading but there was indeed some lovely stuff there. Thanks!

If you still need a beta, I'm up for it anytime! And I'm a late-night person, usually (though this week I'm still on the day shift from the holidays, so I might not be the best person in this particular situation), so you can generally find me at the last minute before deadline :)

You are so on. Thank you thank you thank you. Will try for sooner rather than later so you can pick your time. *loves*

WOW. That means... you could be asleep right now! Wacky.

Okay, fic will wing it's little internet way to you tomorrow noonish. That way there's a little (not much, but a little) buffer time so you can get to it whenever you get to it.

Thanks. *mwah* back.
