wtf

Personal: Stargate Wikia gave me malware

For any of my friends who are wondering if I'm OK, I'm popping by briefly to say yes, I'm physically well (I've even resumed my weight training workouts) and am busy with work, BUT I've been battling STUPID EFFING MALWARE on the Windows laptop I use for one of my clients. Serves me right for surfing Stargate stuff when I should've been finishing up the minutes to a board meeting.

OMG, I cannot WAIT until I get a Macbook so I don't have to deal with this crap anymore.

So I have a neglected FList and a stack of email to catch up with, all thanks to a lovely virus called "Internet Security 2010" that installed itself and popped up a raft of the most annoying nag screens ever, and which took 2 patches and another computer to remove the virus.

I'll be back on LJ as soon as I can (after I catch up on my RL busy-ness), so please don't feel like I'm ignoring you. (Especially  [info]hummingfly67 , [info]dvfan , and [info]misshapenmuse , who all got interrupted mid-correspondence.)

Qetesh

Gatefail: i haz it

I feel so stupid. I've read the wikis, but I still have questions about how Stargates work. Granted, I've only seen Seasons 1 & 9, plus some of Season 10, and a few random eps in between plus all the movies. So maybe I'm missing something?

Re: Season 1, the episode "Solitudes" where Sam & Jack are separated from Daniel & Teal'c as they pass through the 'Gate back to the SGC...

There's a Stargate in Antarctica, and it has symbols on one side, and is, I assume, blank on its other side. (I saw the back side of a 'Gate in the episode "Tin Man", and it looked symbol-less to me.)

Because the kawoosh forms on the side where the symbols are, and travelers can only enter and exit a 'Gate on the side that has the symbols, right?

But... there are circular kawoosh punch-outs in the ice cave BEHIND the Antarctic 'Gate; that is, it looks like a kawoosh punched out the ice on the side of the 'Gate that has no symbols.

WTF?

Did the folk (Atlanteans?) who placed the 'Gate in Antarctica have it facing the other way at one point?

FANFIC: I've Been Archived!

I dunno why I'm so stoked that a site that accepts self-submissions makes me excited that I'm archived on it, but finally:

"We have accepted the story you submitted to All Daniel Fic. Thank you!"

Yay! Two of my drabbles had been rejected, so having "Bookends, or Six Ways 'Til Sunday" archived at AllDanielFic makes my day. :-)

FANDOM: Crack Crossovers

C'mon, people. I know you've done it, too.

In seventh grade, you were assigned to read some "literature" for which it was difficult to identify with the characters, so you inserted James Bond or Princess Leia or Agent Mulder or Samantha Carter into the cast AND THEN the work came alive.

(In retrospect, I should've done that for Joseph Conrad's THE HEART OF DARKNESS, because we hates it, Preciouss.)

I've also taken to crackifying movies and TV shows.

Most recently:

"District 9"
Wikus Van Der Merwe = Rodney McKay ("It's the swietie man!" LOL!)
Christopher Johnson = Samantha Carter
Christopher Johnson's son = babified!Daniel
Koobus = Ba'al

"Logan's Run" (I rented the DVD because it'd been decades since I've seen it. Wow! Nudity!)
Logan 5 = tried Vala Mal Doran, but kept seeing Aeryn Sun (you know, Sandman = Peacekeeper)
Jessica = Daniel Jackson (because Jessica was too passive and I needed to imagine someone smarter and more action-y) but had to keep switching to John Crichton when Logan got very Aeryn
Francis = Teal'c (only I pretended he had a happy ending)
Carousel = Ori altar
Old Man = Jack O'Neill from "Brief Candle"

What's your crack?

Stolen from [info]myeverlovinmind  

How do your reading habits stack up? [bold those books you've read in their entirety, italicize the ones you started but didn't finish]

The BBC allegedly believes most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here:

1 Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen [and Pride & Prejudice & Zombies!!!]

Entire "Bookends" story on 1 page at Google Docs

NOTES: Props to my awesome beta-readers [info]magnavox_23 and [info]hummingfly67 for patiently putting up with my glacial prima donna writing process.

I don't so much stand on the shoulders of giants as I grovel in their shadows:

Stow Away (also archived on AllDanielFic)
by Lisa Michelle
[info]lmichelle599
"Bookends" was inspired by Lisa Michelle's treasure trove of trope; my favorite aspect of "Stow Away" is how a man with an advanced degree in philology was so distracted, he couldn't finish a crossword puzzle over the weekend. Plus: chicken!

eurydice, after
by synecdochic
synecdochic's virtuosic execution of technobabble as a tactic to delay ejaculation stands as the first (and best) use of linguistics jargon in 'Gate fanfic. This angsty, porny tour-de-force unequivocally captures character while describing a rather startling sexual practice.

STARGATE: Not writing Daniel

I've been working relentlessly on a 10-chapter PWP ("Bookends") written in Daniel's PoV, but the deadline for the other story I'm writing for the [info]dv_exchange is coming up fast: 20 December.

So I start working on my DV Exchange draft, because I know I'm a slow writer, and I breeze through 1317 words in one hour as if my muse were dictating it straight to me! OMG. The catch? It's written in 3rd person, Vala PoV, past tense. o_0 The DV Exchange story I plan to write is maybe around 3 chapters, 3000 words, with only one smut scene (instead of 6) so I'm about halfway finished!

Yes, it's Daniel's fault, as always, for over-analyzing my poor muse and offering his 2 cents on creative mythology and symbolism when I give him control of the story, but Vala's a joy to work with. I love her.

FANNISH: I gotta get sick more often...

One of the nice things about feeling a little under the weather and running a low-grade fever is the CRACK FANDOM DREAMING.

Oh yeah, poor me, getting bed rest, having dreams of General Jack O'Neill having his way with me in the middle of the 'Gateroom (why there was a king-sized bed at the base of the ramp, I have no idea) and the looks on the faces of the SFs as we're, um, yeah...

And then there's the one where I'm Vala, cradling an infant, being spooned by Daniel in bed when there's a huge crash in the kitchen because their two other kids are trying to make waffles...

And the one where young Kirk & Spock are necking on the bridge of the Enterprise when they get visited by the older Kirk & Spock from the future, who reassure them that their love will span decades...

And finally, the team from Stargate Atlantis take me out to a BBQ joint and General Landry is sitting all by himself at another table waiting for his order, so we invite him to our table. (And I've only seen like, 2 episodes of SGA.)

Qetesh

SGU: I watched an episode, AND I LIKE IT.

Bumming off a temporarily stable, unsecured WiFi node that my neighbor doesn't bother to lock down, I watched episode 7 ("Earth") of Stargate: Universe through Hulu, and I LIKED IT!

BWA!

Granted, there's no sense of Team that you have in SG-1, but I'm used to watching a series where most characters are antagonistic toward each other (X-Files), so I can deal.

I still get confused by all the Harrid-Sallis body switching, because I don't know who all the characters are, but I'm enjoying that the communication stones allow 2-way switching when their activation is synchronized at both ends. How they compensate for the sidereal delay during FTL travel is beyond me, but I guess it's addressed in another episode?

SPOILERS )

I am so watching this show from the pilot, now. When I can get a good broadband connection.

OK, when do aliens appear? And guns? Explosions? And more Ancient technology?
