Making Something Out of Something Else
Aug. 28th, 2008 04:04 pmToday I got to thinking, thanks to WaT, about how much I want CSI to lock Wendy and Hodges in a closet in the lab until they crack and just make out already. Geez. And then I realized that Hodges and Wendy? ( Totally McKay and Sheppard. )

SGA Fic - Discovery Channel
Dec. 10th, 2007 11:45 pmWritten a couple of months ago. This is one of those fics that makes me giggle a lot and then I feel lame because that's kind of like laughing at your own jokes. I'm going to blame trademybike for this one. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have the pick up line.
John/Rodney. Pick up lines.

SGA Fic - Seen Through

John/Rodney. Mentions some of the events of "Miller's Crossing" very briefly. A slight change in focus occurs.

Nov. 15th, 2007 01:06 amAnother older piece. Thanks to trademybike for helping me clean it up a bit and pushing me to explain things instead of falling back on words like "somehow." It even allowed me to fit Walter in there! Barely.
John/Rodney. Set between "The Siege Part 3" and "Intruder." John needs a place to stay.

SGA Fic - Not a Big Deal
Nov. 12th, 2007 01:24 amThis is not at all new. Except for the parts that trademybike helped me fix up. It's fluff and I think most of my friends have read it in some form already, but I thought I'd post it so it doesn't become lost in the rest of my files.
John/Rodney. Off-world. A moment of realization.

SGA Fic - Home Safe
Oct. 11th, 2007 11:50 pmLast Sunday was kind of crappy for me, so I spent the afternoon writing what is basically hurt/comfort fic. Only the hurt is really only hinted at. Mostly I was interested in the comfort part. Many thanks to trademybike for reading it over and telling me what sounded wonky and what didn't.

I know that there's been some talk about exploring Sheppard's backstory on SGA, but last night while I was watching random bits of season three I realized that it's really Rodney's backstory I'd like to know more about. Partly because leaning Sheppard's has the potential for being really disappointing and McKay's background has already been a little more seeded throughout the series.
Watching parts of "McKay and Mrs. Miller" and "Tao of Rodney," I noticed that Rodney specifically mentions his father and what his father would think/do. But there's no mention of his mother. Which later got me wondering about Rodney's childhood and family life. In "Redemption," he does tell Sam that his parents hated each other and blamed him, which holds with Rodney telling Zelenka (and the rest of the group in "Tao") that his father blamed him for things Jeannie would do. Sounds like Rodney got blamed for a lot of things as a kid. So it's not a complete surprise that he would turn out defensive (and offensive) in his handling of people. Barrel through them and what are they going to do? Can't blame you if you're always right.
I'm just a lot more curious about Rodney's childhood than I am about John's. And that's probably because we have gotten little glimpses into it. With John it's a blank slate so far.
I guess what this strange sort of flipping back and forth between McKay and Sheppard and trust/no trust in the writers really comes down to is my desire for new SGA and my fear that it won't be any good.

SGA Fic - Half-Light
Apr. 18th, 2007 06:07 pmWhile I should have been working on something school related, I was writing this. Many thanks to trademybike for giving me feedback. Without it, I would have gotten fed up with this and it would be unfinished, collecting dust on the hard-drive.
Set after season three's "Sunday." I don't actually mention who has died, partly because I didn't feel it was completely necessary and partly because I didn't want to blab it to Kasey. So without the specifics, I guess you could pretend it was anyone's death.

Don't Believe Everything You Read
Apr. 10th, 2007 02:14 pmI'm wondering how long I can go without spoiling myself silly over season four of SGA. So far the only things I know about involve casting, and that's very general. Hopefully, I can control myself and keep it that way.
Spoilers are such a funny thing for me, too. For the most part, I don't like to be spoiled, but sometimes something just snaps and omg I don't care tell me now! I like going into things not knowing anything, though. Keeps things more interesting and less angsty for me, because usually the spoilers I actually end up hearing have gripes attached (which is fine!) and that makes me unhappy with the show. Which usually turns out to be pointless because I end up enjoying everything anyway.
Seriously, I am so easy to please. As far as SGA's concerned anyway. Except for "Irresponsible." That was, well, irresponsible. I'm very disappointed with them and their choices there. Oh, and their continual use of the "Even McKay" line. Although I can happily live in slash-land and pretend Sheppard doth protest too much. (The doofus.)
I will say that spoilers aren't completely bad. I had vague spoilers for "Trinity" that really made me worry for McKay and Sheppard and their relationship. (Friendships are relationships too!) So the fact that I was freaked out about how badly it could potentially go only ended up highlighting how good it actually was. The sense of relief that things hadn't gone completely to hell just added to my enjoyment.
And I love that episode. At that point I was still watching Smallville and was basically fed up with Lex and Clark and their inability to talk to each other about anything or admit that they were wrong in front of each other. I was thrilled by the final apology scene between McKay and Sheppard. I also kind of like that it reminds me of his apology to Sam in "Redemption." There's something very subdued and slightly awkward in both of those scenes.
Anyway, not the point! The point is that I think this season and much rather not expect anything and let things come as they may. That way hopefully expectations, either good or bad, won't be built up.
Although, man, I really want to know if there's anything out there that would have me tearing my hair and crying, "Why PTB? WHY?!"

NIRA: You have fought the Wraith before?
SHEPPARD: Lots of times. Won some battles, lost some. War's not over by a long shot, but we're managing to hold our own.
NIRA: And the clowns?
SHEPPARD: Clowns? Oh, yeah, the clowns. Well we fight them, too. Entire armies spilling out of Volkswagens. We do our best to fight them off, but they keep sending them in.
I love John Sheppard. Like, a lot.
Yea for syndication and Fox (for once they did something right).

Maybe later today, if I can get some actual work done, I'll be able to watch last week's episode. That way I'll be all caught up for, omg, the season finale.

Spies! Because Chaucer Can Bite Me.
Jan. 29th, 2007 08:53 pmWhen I'm supposed to be working on school work, I tend to retreat into all of those AUs I'm not actually writing. ( Like the one where Sheppard's a spy, McKay's a Bond girl (except not really), and Beckett's a harrassed doctor friend (so like normal). )
There's a part of me that wishes I'd just go for original characters, but these ones are so much fun to play with. I've got several scenes in mind for this, but I am crap at plot. Blah. So now this has become one of my ways of getting through really boring classes.

SGA Fic - Out of Touch
Dec. 20th, 2006 03:56 pmWritten sometime last summer. Re-written last night and looked over by trademybike (who is kind enough to put up with the fanfiction though it's not her thing). It's Sheppard/McKay, focus on Sheppard, and set sometime in some future of my own creating.
