    Dear SGA Fandom....
    Okay what the hell is wrong with you people?! There isn't a tag on AO3 for "puddlejumper sex"?

    Or at least there wasn't....

    So apparently, "real people" never ever get over having an abortion/making the decision to have one.

    I can't give context because it's a comment in a locked post, but wow do I get tired of hearing, from both sides of the debate, that there's something wrong with me.

    I also debated flocking this but no, this is part of who I am.

    The Wish List Meme
    Step One:
    • Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered... whatever you're comfortable with) to your journal. The post should contain your list of 10 unlimited holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is to make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
    • If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.
    • Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your journal, so that the holiday joy will spread.

    Step Two:
    • Surf around your friendslist (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:
    • If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.
    • You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out; it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.
    * There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just... wish, and it might come true. Give and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

    oh holy fuck!
    I just realized that, for some reason, I had blanked on the sga_santa deadline. It's next Thursday.

    I haven't started yet.

    Have I mentioned that I find it very hard to write with a head cold? Because yeah, I totally do.

    Um....oooops?

    I feel kind of silly doing this but...I've been having a crisis of writing confidence for the last few months, so if you have anything nice to say about my fic, feel free to say so here

    Today, World AIDS Day, I'm remembering my dear friend Darin,
    who died of AIDS related cancer on September 6th, 2002.


     

    I found a bunch of fun and smutty art online, but didn't have the energy to post them all here, since I've already posted them on [info]smutday, so for those of you who aren't members of Smutday, you can take a look at them here.  AIDS Awareness Art 

    Enjoy!

    Yup, still sick.

    I'm sleeping in the second bedroom because I'm coughing a lot and also because...well you know those stupid stereotypes about how all guys turn into babies when they're sick? Yeah, that, only I'm not a guy. I whine a lot and the sad thing is that I know I do it and that doesn't stop me from doing it. Also my sleep schedule is really messed up.

    So that's the state of me.

    Meant to say, this seems to be a garden variety cold and not teh hamtrax.

    White Collar speculation
    Watching the old Hitchock movie on tv, I'm wondering if it's wrong that I hope they do some sort of version of "To Catch a Thief"?

    (I blame baking gingerbread for this idea.)

    My subconcious is a strange place
    Dreamed last night that I'd uploaded a bunch of fic to AO3. I was disappointed when I woke up this morning and it wasn't true, because I'm lazy that way.

    I also dreamed about the fic that's been percolating in my head for a few days now. I want to take the "John and Rodney get stranded on a planet that practices slavery" tropes and make it about John and Ronon, but I don't want to use the idea that Ronon has to be the owner because you have to fight hand-to-hand if anyone challenges you for your slave. Not that I have a problem with that trope, but it's been done, and done well; I want to do something different.

    So my idea is that this particular world was used for genetics research by the Ancients, and about 10% of the population has the ATA gene. After the Ancients left, the gene carriers, called the Gifted, established an oligarchy where they ruled, sometimes as benevolent dictators, and at other times, not so benevolent. About a hundred and fifty years before the Atlantis expedition, the non-Gifted rebelled. They didn't kill or exile all of the Gifted, though, because they needed them to work much of the technology, so instead, they enslaved them. All adult Gifted are "bonded" to a person referred to as a Keeper, whose job is to make sure that the Gifted does his assigned tasks without exceeding the boundaries.

    Somehow, John and Ronon get stranded on this planet, and Ronon has to be John's Keeper. In addition to John letting his submissive side out, and Ronon discovering that he likes being the one giving orders to John, I want to look a little at Ronon's conflicted feelings toward the Lanteans, and both of them realizing where the Lanteans' attitudes of patronizing superiority to the rest of the Pegasus Galaxy could be heading.

    Of course, I've got to finish my Podbang fic--at least, once I get the replacement for the microphone Ogdred used as a chew toy--and figure out what I'm doing for [info - livejournal.com] prettylightsfic, and I haven't had much writing drive lately. But we'll see...maybe next year if there's an SGA Big Bang I'll try to do something, if only because there's not enough Ronon/John fic out there.

    ETA: Several people have asked about the Ronon/John slavefic that I referred to earlier. One of them is When In Rome, by [info - livejournal.com] penknife. The other is "Release Mechanism", by [info - personal] hth; unfortunately, her site appears to be dead, and it wasn't posted anywhere else.

    body chemistry for the lose...
    So yeah, because my sleep schedule's been so fucked up, I haven't been taking my Wellbutrin. I really really need to remember that it's not optional.

    Dinner tonight, which should have been dinner last night, was good, but it was only half of what I meant to serve and the meat was just a little too pink even though my meat thermometer said it was a lot more done that it turned out to be.* I really didn't feel the cooking vibe so we had the caramelized butternut squash/sweet potato dish (which was very good) and lamb, which was very good even if it was a little pink. We'll have greens and mashed potatoes tomorrow.

    Things would have been a lot smoother if I'd been taking my meds, as it was I stressed this one waaaaaay too much.



    *Um, hi...I'm really not in the mood for recommendations or helpful hints or solutions or whatever here.

    so much for Thanksgiving on the right day
    Right now I'm mostly thankful that I no longer have a migraine.

    There's food in the oven and I'll do a much longer post about it all later.

    Hope those of you who celebrate (and those how don't) had a great day!

    simple yet tasty
    Take a bagel, slice it, toast it and put a generous amount of cream cheese on both slices. Then take a couple artichoke hearts and chop them up fine* and use them as sammich filling. Serve with Kalamata olives on the side.

    Speaking of food, we got our box yesterday; I was just too wiped to report it.

    Persimmons, tangerines, apples, kale, chard, lettuce, some other green and sweet potatoes.

    rambly stuff about greens and T-Day dinner )

    huh....
    Due to a bit of stupidity on my part, I spent the day without internets. And you know...I missed people, but not the internets themselves. Lemme know if anything interesting happened.

    Actually, you all should be glad I spent the day offline; I'm grumpy and crampy and apparently someone, probably Og, slept in just the wrong spot on the bed, forcing me to sleep in a certain position, so my knees and back hurt. It's not that I wouldn't happily kick him off the bed, it's that he does it in the middle of the night and I automatically adjust without waking up.

    For those not on my NaNo filter, I'm declaring it a half win. I wrote 20,500 words and I'll probably manage another 5,000 before the end of the month. Or who knows, maybe I won't. Still that's 20K of fic I didn't have on October 31, so there you have it.

    I have to go to our local upscale grocery store to pick up the lamb tomorrow. That's gonna be fun. I also have to go to Coco's to pick up the pie so at least I'll have French Toast for lunch or something.

    I don't know...
    I'm just not in the mood for much of anything. I'm having my period and I think I'm coming down with a cold and I'm all with the grumpy.

    I might be scarce for a day or two.
