So... yeah. I wasn't going to. I was definitely not interested at all, but somewhere between the prompt post and the writer's sign up I fell down.

Speaking of Big Bangs:



Which is good and sort of amazing (Holy Moses, 12,000, do you see that?). Unfortunately, I'm at a point where I don't know what happens next, so I'm staring at it going "You mean I have to do this three more times?

So I signed up for sgabigbang yesterday. The word count is...very daunting (According to FF.net, my total word count for every fic I have ever written in 8 years is just over 29,000.) 40,000 words is alot of story, but I've been wanting to write something long for a while now and deadlines are my greatest motivator. Word counts coming soon to a post near you.

Now if only I could find someone I can hash it out with.

Current word count: 101 (hey, one small step, right?)

So I've been completely enamoured with the five things format since I discovered it years ago, to the point where one of the first things I do in a new fandom is write five things. And it turns out that Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis have sg1_five_things, an entire community dedicated to five things prompts. What can I say, it's a bad habit.

Five people from the SGC who John would sometimes like to steal for Atlantis

Five secrets Lorne and Zelenka share Part One and Part Two

Five ways SGA "misplaced" a team member

Four kisses that weren't real and one that was

Five things Chuck ate in the Pegasus Galaxy that he couldn't pronounce

This is mostly for me, so when I ask myself "What was that awesome story I read two weeks ago?" I don't have to go looking too hard. Also, I like having a record and I've grown to really dislike the memories feature.

I'm going through a bunch of old writing today and found a long forgotten, just about finished LOTR story. Dusted off, finished, tweaked and a little dark around the edges.



The Glimmer of Light

“I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.”

I'm halfway through a complete redesign of the journal. I even managed to understand enough css code without despairing to create a shiny new header. Except that I have just realized that the quote is incorrect. Arr. It will just have to stay incorrect and incomplete for a while though, because right now I have to throw all the clothes I own into a duffle bag.

Any good thoughts you could send my way would be appreciated.

EDIT: Fixed the header.

And now, Doctor Who fic.

In the last couple of months, I've watched more British television than I have in my entire life. Now all my narrators speak with an accent.


Blackpool: I hated every single character in that show. Every single one. That has to be some sort of record. Moving right along.

Jude: "We are man and wife, if ever two people were on this earth." This is perhaps the most tragic thing I've seen in quite a while. Some of the editing was a bit awkward, but the rest of the movie more than made up for it. Quiet and still and sweet and sad. Towards the end I actually had to pause it so I could go and walk around a bit. It's a bit difficult to get, but if you can I would definitely recommend it, so long as you're ready for a slower movie.

Casanova: Fun. So much fun to watch. It skips along so lightly that you forget that it has depth until suddenly it does. And I suspect that the music is all synth, but it has been stuck in my head for days.

Takin' Over the Asylum: In which David Tennant looks and acts almost exactly like a friend of mine. I really wish there was a copy floating around without an audio delay, but despite that, I really enjoyed this. I tend to think of it as a bit fluffy, but it's actually not. Whenever it gets into mental illness it gets serious and a bit dark, which I thought was handled really well. It's taking up alot of space on my computer, but I dont want to delete it yet.

I've also seen clips of Secret Smile, but what I saw freaked me out completely so I've decided not to watch that one.
