Ramblings and such
Hi there! Sorry it's been so long since I talked to everyone, but the muse has been uberproductive, as you can tell by the last two days fic postings. Today there will be typing up and sending off to beta of the next part of “Healing” and possible work on part six of “Season of Change”. I'm so very happy that “Healing” is being read and I hope everyone enjoys the ride as I write this.
I noticed the other day that I had several new friends. Hello and welcome! On that note I want to take this oppurtunity for everyone to tell me something about you. Tell me what you're writing, what you're reading, how life is treating you. Tell me what you like, what you want to see more of here, tell me about fannish stuff. Heck, answer the Inside the Actors Studio Qustionaire if you like! Have fun, go wild and don't be afraid to delurk for a while, I won't bite.
Have a good day all!

I shall now commence to tell you who my favorite character per letter is (not limited by fandom or, even, by there being a fandom associated with a given character. Assuming I manage to choose for each letter.) Two characters are permitted for a letter as long as they share a name (for example, you may choose both Jack Sparrow and Jack Bristow, but you do have to decide between the Jacks and John Crichtonl)
I think I'm playing how many Jossverse characters can I use!
B is for Buffy Summers who fought the good fight while railing at destiny and loved with her whole heart
C is for Carson Beckett who walks the fine line between medical ethics and what has to be done
D is for Daniel Jackson because death cannot stop true love (wait, wrong show!)
E is for Eeyore who is sad and moody but has the best of friends to cheer him up
F is for Fox Mulder whose belief in everything paranormal and supernatural is deep and unwavering
G is for General George Hammond because spinning is much cooler than not spinning
H is for Hoban “Wash” Washburne, he is a leaf on the wind, watch him soar
I is for Inara Serra who is gracefully, poised, and beautiful yet can still kick ass when she needs to.
J is for Jack O'Neill with two L's because the other guy wasn't as funny (or as gorgeous)
K is for Kaylee Frye who loves strawberries and shiny things
L is for Lorne who did what had to be done even if he hated doing it
M is for Malcom Reynolds who loves his crew and his ship without question
N is for Numfar and his dance of joy
O is for Daniel “Oz” Osbourne who is quiet but when he has something to say, it's usually profound
P is for Jean Luc Picard who lived through two ships but loved them both
Q is for Quentin Travers who knows nothing of love fatherly or not
R is for Rupert Giles (who else were you expecting?), the only Watcher for Buffy
S is for Spike who is snarky and evil but still has a vulnerable side that makes me want to hug him
T is for Teal'c because undomesticated equines could not pull me away
U is for Lt. Uhura who is still one of my heroes
V is for Vala Maldoran who has brought some much needed lightness and fun to the SGC
W is for Wesley Wyndam Pryce who deserved better and lives on in our hearts and our writings
X is for Xander Harris the heart of the Scoobies, he is underappreciated by everyone but his fans
Y is for Tasha Yar who is brave and yet vulnerable
Z is for Zoe Washburne who kicks ass even in grief.

Announcement (and looking for help)
The puppet!slash has a plot. *headdesk* I still can't believe I'm going to write this. I most definately have a seat in that Special Hell now. At least the company will be good.
And the help part is for you my flisters. I am unsure if my beta goddess is knowledgable about SG:1 (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong antennapedia!) so I will need someone with knowledge of both Angel and SG:1 to have a look at it for me once it's written. Which may be soon. Thank you kindly in advance to anyone who does volunteer to take on this crackfic.
ETA: fiareynne has generously stepped up to the plate!

I think I'm in shock. And after the great 200th episode. I think I shall refuse to belive it until it's confirmed by Sci-Fi. *lives in denail*

Interest Collage thing gakked from just about everyone on my flist
*headdesk* (or headpiano as icon indicates)
I should be writing. Why am I not writing. I have all kinds of ideas, but the muse is not cooperating. *sighs*
On the other hand hubby gave the the software for the digital camera, which I will be uploading shortly. So there will likely be a picspam in the near future.
And as tomorrow is son's first day back to school *happy dances* I'm thinking of taking the day off to watch wildy innapropriate movies (American Pie, Eurotrip, South Park).

No clue

Um…I'm currently trying to make my way through Moonlight and Vines by Charles De Lint, who my hubby discovered. It's weird, not really my cup of tea.
I'm back!
Yeah so I figured out that taking the vicodin at the same time as the anitbiotics was what was causing the omgsleepy/loopy. So switched up times for taking pills. I want to thank antennapedia and agilesreader for taking over my posting duties at giles_watchers while I was out for the count. And thanks to everyone who wished me well. The redness is almost all gone, it's still slightly painful to walk on, and the swelling is ick, but I'm better!!
On the writing front, I posted part 5 of SoC today. I hope you all enjoy. Now that I've written or started writing some of the bunnies I had for other things, hopefully I can keep updating this regularly. Wrote a little in the post Chosen B/X thing, but stopped when Xander started getting really bitter. Have decided that soon I will post the first part of the X/B/Wes crackfic (yes it has become my own personal crackfic). So I typed it up today. It's already 10 pages long. *facepalm* (or more appropriately as the icon says, facegrass, for when facepalm isn't enough). I sent it to my beta goddess, who of course in all her infiinit wisdom, aksed questions and wanted details. The questions were easily answered and taken care of, but the details will take time, I need to do some research. So the posting of crackfic is delayed a few days. But fiareynne is going to make me a nifty icon for it, so that wins. And then today, in response to my squeeage over the 200th episode of SG:1, gileswench somehow ended up double dog daring me to write Puppet!Hammond/Puppet!Angel slash. Which with my twisted perverted muse, I might just do. More crackfic! *giggles*
Tuesday is son's first day back to school. Is it wrong that I want to do a dance? The first part of this week is going to be busy, so I'm not sure how much writing I'll get done. Today has been a good day. Oh, I also want to thank theferretgirl and nemo_gravis for the shout outs, it made my day.
Hope everyone had or is having a good weekend.

JAAAAACCCCKKKKK!!!!! and wild Joss rumors
August 19, 2006 by katy
Filed under Television
Okay, I know for sure yesterday was the 200th episode. And I have remained relatively unspoiled. Except for one thing, which if it's true, OMG! *waits impatientloy for SG1 to download*
Did some witing while unloopy yesterday, yay! sent something off to beta, she asked for more. Will see what muse come up with today. Also wrote some X/B/W, not much, but it got the story moving. So yay for that. Will be spending some time on couch today, not just for SG1 watching, but to help keep the swelling down in the leg. There will be Buffy watching, cause when I was watching s3 Angel the other day, Liam was watching with me, telling me who everyone was and then turns to me and asks, “Mommy, where's Spike?” So when we went to the library, I broke down and got Buffy s7 for him, so he could watch Spike. Am I a good mom or what?
And now for some widely speculative rumors my husband heard about Joss that I pass along to everyone.
And if there is an ounce of truth in either of those, that sound you heard? Was the sound of fangirls and boys around the world squeeing in unison.
So I think I have the sleepy/loopiness figured out, so hopefully by tomorrow I will be back to my old self again. Keeping my fingers crossed. Hope everyone has a good weekend.
Sphere: Related ContentWIP meme (gakked from <lj user="antennapedia">
If you happen to be working on some creative writing project, fanfiction or NaNoWriMo or what have you, post exactly one sentence (or more) from each of your current work(s) in progress in your journal. It should probably be your favourite or most intriguing sentence so far, but what you choose is entirely your discretion. Mention the title (and genre) if you like, but don't mention anything else — this is merely to whet the general appetite for your forthcoming work(s).
I'm unloopy enough right now, I'd thought I'd do this.
This is from part 5 of my current B/G WIP, Season of Change (which will likely get posted very soon!)
OMG! I kissed Giles! Okay, so technically he was 'Ripper' and he kissed me, but WOW!
This is from myas yet untitled post Chosen (several years post) Buffy/Xander thing (where I wrote the climatic scene first)
And lastly, this is from my untitled Xander/Buffy/Wesley thing (Fia you shouldn't look, but I won't blame you if you do.)
“You and Dead Boy aren't speaking. That's a laugh, last I heard you were all buddy buddy,” Xander chipped in.
Wesley had almost forgotten he was there. “We are no longer on speaking terms, Xander and that is all I shall say on the subject.”
“And if he threatens Buffy?”
“I would do everything in my power to protect her, including killing Angel. Though I highly doubt it would ever come to that.”
