Blue Moon Awards & update from naughty Amaranth...

2010-02-23T20:53:23-05:00

Howdy folks! This message is mostly copied-pasted from my LJ, where I posted earlier today. Just finished catching up on deleting the spam that's been hidden behind the admin curtain on the forum (nearly 1700 spam messages!), so I thought I'd touch base with everyone here before I signed off for the night...

It's been brought to my attention that some crazy too-kind person has nominated some of my work for the2010 Stargate Blue Moon Awards .

This very website, put together by me and Thraesja, has been nominated under thewebsite category and two of my Sam/Daniel stories(Ouroboros andAmaranthine ) plus a silly little...

Indeed. Great story.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5578260/1/The_Forgotten

I have to agree with what Eventhorizon7 wrote in her review. The story was very engrossing and I was pretty happy seeing the Sam/Daniel ship. The original character was great and we got to know her better.

Cheers,

Re: It's too quiet out there!!!

hey, it was nice to see your post thraesja.

Don't worry about the communication delay, children work to their own timetable and rest assured they get there eventually. My friend's daughter had the same problem, they had to go to speech therapy and although it was hard work for both parties involved it paid off and she is now a very talkative teenager.

One of my girl's was late with the whole potty training, staying dry thing and i thought that i was the worse mum in the world for not being able to put it right. That's when i realised that children do things in their own time and that it would be unlikely that she would hit adulthood and still be in a diaper! Once i figured that out ( and ignored all the mum's at mother and toddler group whose babies were so advance that they practically came out of the womb on a potty) both I and my daughter were more relaxed and it came about naturally...

Thanks for recommending it. Glad to see you both back on the site.

Re: Happy New Year one and all...

2010-01-16T11:57:56-05:00

In Canada, the primary mode of winter transportation is dog sledding, followed closely by riding polar bears.

Okay, that's a lie. Everyone knows the polar bears are dying from the effects of climate change.

My parents dogsled regularly since they got their first husky about 14 years ago. Now they have 18 huskies, and this is the first time someone's been seriously injured. Minor and moderate injuries have occured in the past, but nothing requiring surgery.

She still doesn't remember what happened, but we've been able to piece things together - it seems she hit a tree because a trail was graded in the wrong direction. So when she around that turn, the sled went flying off the trail and into the trees. The grade has since been corrected, and it seems fine now.

But she now has a shiny metal plate and all of the pieces of her clavicle screwed into it so they can heal themselves, and she's home and feeling much better. I've been spending a lot of time up at the house (their house...

I loved the way that you painted the scene with Jack. As a mother I've been there and done that, but I didn't have such a good distraction with my kids as Daniel and Sam seem to have.

T-Fap was the inspiration of this one - I'm sure Thraesja has been annoyed at my inattention while we're chatting and playing with little T-Fap.

You know there could be a story here regarding Jack. How would he feel if S/D had a child? Would it evoke memories of Charlie? Would it drag him through the ringer or bring about some kind of closure? It's an interesting thought, but as I can't write Jack I'll have to wait until someone else tackled such a subject.

Sorry gang! Same excuse as usual, I'm afraid. I didn't succeed in completing my Nanowrimo challenge, but I did finish two stories - one of them ready to post as soon as I get my act together, and one of them that needs a lot of work (but thanks to my two betas, Eventhorizon and Thraesja, for pointing and laughing at all the parts that needed it most desperately). I really need to stop deluding myself into thinking I can achieve these ridiculous challenges I set for myself...

Re: Nanowrimo

2009-11-23T13:49:53-05:00

So November is 23 days old and that means I should have written 38,000 words by now, right? Um. Yeah, here's the thing - I think real life got mad at me for hiting it with that stick, and it sort of exploded all over the place. I've been cleaning up the mess since the end of the first week of November. Uck.

But, I promised to finish four stories, and I've already finished one plus rewritten the opening scene to a longer multi-chapter story to account for the massive geography restructuring I inflicted on the planet so that the rest of the story would make sense.

So...one down, just three more to go, right? Don't think I'll hit my word count goal, but I am going to make every effort to fulfill my story-completion goal.

New Prompt

62 — 2009-10-27T16:14:50-04:00

Hi,

It's pretty depressing out here at the moment. There seems to be a lull in any new stories and my own attempts at writing have hit yet another bump in the road. The story i'm trying to write has stalled, so i'm going over what i have got in the hope that it will kick start it again.

Anyhoo... I have a new prompt.

Sam/Daniel Doppleganger

Make of that as you will.

Hope that's enough room. For me the jury is still out, if I'm honest I only watched it for the cameo's of RDA AT and MS, which were over if you blinked!

One thing I did notice was just how much RDA seems to have let himself go... was it my telly or did he look a lot more chubby than when we last saw him in Continum? If the next SG1 is going to centre on Jack's character, RDA will have a lot of work to do in order to get him looking like the Jack that we know and love, but having said that it was still nice to see him, even if his usual sarcasm was lacking.

I thought the whole tape session with Daniel was lame, almost looked like they couldn't get the actor into the studio. I kinda understand the reason behind it, but it would have been nice to see Daniel in the flesh so to speak, would have ...

I hope these awards are an incentive to continue with your wonderful writing. I hope it also acts to keep the creative juices flowing. There never is enough good Sam/Daniel stories out there.

I also would like to congratulate all those that were nominated.

Re: Crossroads

I did like the story - and as I said, I really loved Daniel's ability to read Sam so well. Great job

Workywork has not slowed down. It has in fact 'slowed up' (damn, that doesn't work at all, does it?). I have, though, decided to cut back on some of the stuff I'm doing for my mental health and only do the "absolutely vitally essential" stuff for a while. I have been writing a bit - these prompts have been coaxing my muse out of hiding, so I'm hoping that I'll be able to write some non-prompt fics soon.

In addition to the two I just posted on the forum today, I also have new three prompt-ficlets onmy LiveJournal .

2 Sheppard/McKay recs

2009-09-07T12:10:47-04:00

So I never really got that into SGA. I've seen a few episodes from the first three seasons and enjoyed them, but never really got "hooked" as they say.

However, there has been a recent rush of SGA story recommendations over atStargate Fic Rec and I clicked through to read a few. As such, I come bearing two shiny and hilarious Sheppard/McKayrecs:

Four Blatant Lies About Atlantis (And One Thing That's Totally True) , by sabinelagrande
Summary: Wherein aliens don't make them do it, John loves ASCII, Carson hates everyone, Weir is highly amused, and Lorne's just trying to be a pal.

The author calls this story "unbridled crack", but you know, I'm not so sure. I mean, it's pretty messed up, butbelievably so. Definitely funny. Go read it.

Ugh! I know how you feel. If there hadn't been a deadline for that Jacob story, I never would have actually written it. I think Thrae was in the same boat. Stupid life being so busy...

I liked Jonas too, but I have to say I'm not familiar enough with the character to be comfortable writing anything about him. Strangely, season six isn't one I'm overly familiar with. It's almost like a key reason for me watching the show wasn't around...very odd. I can't quite suss it out.

Re: Feedback for H is for Hebron

Thank you so much! I think Jacob was enraged because he could see how easily he could have shared Hebron's fate. If Sam had been wrong about the Tok'ra...

And 'mellowing' is exactly the perfect word to describe Selmak's influence on Jacob. Though Selmak has a temper too, I think both Jacob and Selmak complement each other nicely and know exactly what to say to keep the other one calm.

Thanks for your great feedback! I love writing Jacob/Selmak; they're a lot of fun. I hope to have a chance to write them again soon.

Re: Favourite SG-1 scenes

2009-08-19T19:39:17-04:00

Hmm. I have many favourite SG-1 scenes and I'll have to peruse a list of episodes to better remember them all... But the one that has jumped into my mind right now is the scene at the end of In the Line of Duty, when Sam's in the infirmary and Daniel comes in with flowers.

You just know his eyes are all itchy and he won't get any sleep that night because he'll be sneezing from the pollen, but he brought the flowers anyway, hoping they would help cheer her up.

It's a sweet moment of early Sam/Daniel friendship.

Sorry for the absenteeism lately. I've been a bit ill, and I know Thrae's been swamped with getting resettled at work and still finding quality time to hang out with T-Fap.

I like your challenge. It's a little similar to a story idea I already had rolling around in my head, but I'm still not sure I'll be able to write for it. We'll see. It's a long weekend here (I've even taken today off to make it longer - a much deserved holiday if I do say so myself), so I'm hoping to get at least something written over the next few days. The plan is that it'll be a relaxing exercise.
