Writing. Surfing. Writing.

Working on fic today, the one that's all framed in and is ready for editing, tweaking and revision. It's Harry Potter, my first. I have a couple of other HP ones that are near completion and one of these days I'll post them. I can't even tell you how old these are, but I *can* tell you that book six jossed at least one detail or other in nearly all of them. Bastage book. ;-)

Also working on a JuC, which, holy crap, I need to concentrate on if it's going to be ready for JuC day. And...another holy crap, because I just realized that not only is it Joey's birthday (happy birthday, Gorgeous Lips!), but it's my pop!fandom birthday as well. Jeebus, has it really been five years? My God. Seems like just yesterday I was zipping along the internet reading every article I could get my hands on, saving every picture I could find. JC is my alpha and omega, but I do love the five of them. It's like your hand, baby.

Also working on a Stargate SG-1 thingy. Scotty's laughing (or snorting) because I said at least twice that I probably wouldn't ever write SG-1 fic. Wellllllllllllllll, I'll probably never write Daniel/Jack, which I've read a ton of and love, but there are only about five Daniel/Cameron stories out there and that's just criminal. They've got chemistry! Their love needs to be documented! Seems I'm just the shmoe to do it. Probably won't do any offworld stuff, as I'm not much of a world-builder. Hmmm.

Another series that I'm *sure* I'll never write is Atlantis, and I'm sure about this because I haven't watched the show enough to get a feeling for the characters and how they interact, other than I find myself going ohmygodrononhothothot! when Jason Momoa is onscreen. He's just every variety of yummy there is.

If I *did* write Atlantis fic it would be Ronon/Sheppard, because I'm the only person in the known world, apparently, who 1) doesn't see the Sheppard/McKay hotness and, 2) doesn't see the McKay attraction at all, and I'm not talking about his looks. He rubs me all kinds of the wrong way, and oyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, I can only watch so much of him in one sitting. It's probably just a coincidence that the only eps I've ever seen were pretty light on the McKay action. ;-p Oddly enough, I read a Daniel/Rodney fic this afternoon that I really liked, Two Galaxies, by mirabile_dictu.

Speaking of Atlantis and SG-1, all you Atlantis people have my profound condolences for the upcoming season when Col. Samantha Carter and her big brain crash land on your show. Very deep condolences. I'll stop now.

More writing!

See, I think they *could* make it more team-oriented if they wanted to. Granted with AT being on maternity leave the first 5 episodes, they needed a female character to fill the gap, and that was fine, I understood that. But once Sam came back, they had a full team again and they should've focused on that.

In bringing in a new character in Mitchell, however, they do need to give him more backstory, so that tends to pull him away from the team. Teal'c storyline with the Jaffa democracy, while important, also splits him away from the team. It leaves Daniel and Sam sitting at SGC spewing exposition and that's just no fun for anyone. lol

As much as I miss Jack, I'm cool with Mitchell coming in and heading the team. I'm slowly getting more used to Ben Browder, but it's taking a while. I think all of this characterization could've really been done better and more focused on in the first 5-6 episodes so that after that we could focus on the big bad and the team dynamics.

I don't mind Vala in small doses, like how you feel with Rodney. I have heard Shanks say that in order for Vala's inclusion to work, they'll have to tone Vala down and I was really happy to hear that. But I have a problem with Vala, a theif and liar, being included on the flagship team of the SGC, a top-secret Government agency. It doesn't wash with me and it feels like it cheapens it a little bit. I don't know if the writers can make it go down any easier. And also, more Vala and her scene-chewing could very well mean that Teal'c gets shelved yet again, and that's not fun no matter if it's Sam or Vala taking up his on-air time.

But it comes down the them right now, the producers and writers have ALL the pieces, it's up to them to make them work. I suppose we'll see, though. What do I know? lol
