seperis | fandom: stargate atlantis

I think I have entered the resignation stage of grieving for Stargate Atlantis. I was able to watch Sheldon Cooper without seething hatred, and I didn't want to set Leonard on fire even once. Yes, I can watch The Big Bang Theory without (much) anguished pain at the scope of my loss.

...so it took me some time to--I don't want to say 'move on' so much as 'expand my love of socially awkward, painfully neurotic physicists'. I feel this is a step on the path to healing, even if still seeing the words "Stargate Universe" makes me wish to expel the words from my active vocabulary forever.

In other news, between environmental collapses and defect arguments (work is being very worky), I have been re-reading Stargate Atlantis and Child and I are watching season two like it's the second coming of Star Wars and Harry Potter combined. I think at any time you are sincerely watching Michael and muttering about the brilliant acting and biting social commentary, you are creating a new stage of grieving that could be titled "Batshit Country".

We won't even talk about Trinity and Conversion except to say I suddenly realize that was Oscar calibre acting and by God, Hollywood has no taste. Even though I don't think Oscars go to television, that's just shortsighted because John's chin trembled and blowing up a solar system is so deep.

Yeah. I miss my show so much.

In other news I upgraded my laptop hard drive to solid state and I'm pretty sure physics is being redefined by the response time. Seriously. I have no idea how I managed to survive with a plain 7200 RPM when this was waiting for me. Just. Speed. Everywhere. Granted, I had to take out the DVD drive and buy a specialized bay chassis to house my old hard drive where the DVD drive was, but--my Windows Experience hard drive score is seven point eight out of seven point nine. I only ran it a few hundred times to be sure.

It's beautiful. I thought of Rodney the whole time. He would soooo approve.

Okay, wtf, people, I had to find out from fail_fandomanon about Brad Wright sulking in his sulking pants?

Okay, see, I get it, Brad, PTB, Stargate franchise, all franchises, everyone, ever. I am just a fan! I have no power! I have no influence. You will tell me what to like and when to like it. I WILL SIT DOWN, SHUT UP OKAY. WHY ARE YOU STILL YELLING AT....

Opinion: Atlantis fans need to stop punishing Universe

...hello, wait.

( I have no idea if speculation on status is spoilery? )

Oh, whatever, hands up: tell me your inner fangirl did not just laugh herself silly.

Context is Contexty: For those of you playing the home game, circa January 2009:

No. You guys are actually pretty predictable (take no offense, most fan groups are). Unfortunately, you represent a very small portion of the actual viewing audience we need for financial success. - Brad Wright, on fans of SGA and SG1 at the cancellation of SGA and the release of SGU

Yeah. You're fucking adorable, sweets.

Spoilery amused thought.

( so i can see this )

9/10ths of the way through.

( uh )

Yes. My priorities? Still there. In that place.

Three quarters of the way through SGA 4.1.

( oh )

Sometimes my priorities scare me. And then I remember that I don't care.

I'm having a day of severe cognitive dissonance when switching to the new Vertigo theme--it is called Vertigo, right? Which is just like the first one for lj except the subtle differences and so awesome I kind of want to cry a little. And I also keep half thinking, did I finish that SV story and then remember, right, it's not 2002. Fun.

Post-vacation letdown--well, not for Child, he wandered off to play with a new friend and I am abandoned to die at home with my laptop and vitamin collection--and yes, there is a definite connection between my not taking them and my concentration and mood, though I'd probably have to skip more than three days to really be sure. I'm feeling--distracted. I have basically five differnet stories open and am adding a sentence to each one almost regularly, which is new levels of bizarre behavior. One of them is for

trobadora in MensaAU, which is--I didn't mean to write any more of that! But mostly I miss having a place to write outright OTT parody and Exclusion was all drama. Now I want to go back to a place where Colonel Sheppard and Rod McKay have to watch in horror as Drs Sheppard and McKay bond horrifically and destroy souls. Because that is funny.

And since it's been a while. The WIP Collection, active.

This list does not include Teacher's Pet or Strangerverse, since both of those are in a weird place in progress. I have this horrible suspicion that writing mpreg for Christmas--seriously, who does that, mpreg for Christmas?--broke something in my head and now I really want to do a whole string of cliche fics. God help me. I mean, really cliche.

I'm going to go lie down now and breathe into some kind of paper product.

Aww. I dont' think there is anything cuter than rabbits cuddling. Especially in a soft, furry threesome. When I look at them, they bare their teeth at me and silently promise to chew my throat out if I ever leave their ubercage open after I go to bed.

Again, I say, awww.

You may not have noticed that I'm being unusually boring, what with nano. Okay, maybe you have. That's because Livejournal is Temptation, and I'm avoiding temptation and all its offshoots, including sitting down anywhere near any fannish WIP while being assaulted by a truly disturbing number of completely pointless plotbunnies that I want to write right now.

But update on my life, as of today.

1.) I hate nano. More later.

2.) I have imagined out the John Sheppard presidential campaign, with his uberattack dog campaign manager, the ultra scary Rodney McKay who once got arrested for knocking out Geraldo on national TV. There's actually only two parts I wnat to write, which makes it easier to resist--the first, with his running mate Teyla Emmagen and former president Elizabeth Weir, being handed vicodin and rum as they watch Rodney singlehandedly yelling down a Republican crowd in New Mexico and scaring the other presidential candidate into crying hysterically, and the second, where Rodney and John are having a knock-down drag out about exactly what John is going to *be* as a president, since he was chosen more on his war record, good looks, straight male white Americanness than say, his stand on anything.

The second one is actually attracting me more, though I do want Rodney's disgusted commentary on the politicians of today. *sighs dreamily* Pretty.

3.) I broke down and rebuilt the rabbit fortress, which included removing the atrium and gutting the center out, which gives them more space and is a lot easier to clean. There's a single shelf running along the back for them to sit on and relax, which they seem to like, but I have yet to break them of their habit of shredding their newspaper floor. *sighs* It's so messy in there, and I just can't face it quite yet.

4.) I really hate nano.

( this is just public sulking on I HATE THIS FUCKING STORY SO MUCH )

I'm trying to think of something Halloween themed to write for--um, well, Halloween. And Stargate. And you know, soothe my immense anguish at the absence of John. Who I dreamed about last night.

God. I'm turning into one of those creepy people, aren't I? Next will be the love poetry and Unbreakable Vows to inanimate objects. I'll just--you know. Try not to compare/contrast there.

Until recently, I never really understood The Addiction of the Poll. They make them so easy to do!

[Poll #852933]

( thought )

Okay. The Return Part 1?

Made. Of. Awesome.

I'm going to go do that thing I do? Where I giggle hystericall in *joy*? Yes. That thing. Happy.

girlnamedpixley, being, you know, *amazing*, sent me another cover for the Atlantis Project AU.

The absolutely *gorgeous* (God, *JOHN*) cover for Puerto Vallarta" is here.

*stares at John* God.

Seriously, her ability with manips? Blows my mind.

Okay, so! DVD commetary for

yin_again. I'm going to try adn do one over the weekend as well for another story from those who volunteered on my original post, but it's tax free weekend and that means school clothes shopping! Yay school clothes!

Right, onward to fic.

Okay, the really fun part is--and also mildly disturbing--is that I have not read this before! I mean, I might have, but I don't remember! And when I realized that, why, it's like a virgin story! Which makes this more fun, as I shall record all my reactions as they happen.

That Atlantis the prison colony idea is lingering.

*frowns*

I mean, I could see it. The worst criminals are sent to the planet of Atlantis in the far off Pegasus galaxy, and there's international spy and espionage expert Dr. Elizabeth Weir, notorious for her extremely bloody coup of South America before she was finally captured. There's Dr. Rodney McKay, physicist and bomb expert, brilliant and unstable, who blew up a populated solar system and built the first ZPM bombs against Geneva conventions (plus, his habit of killing his staff when they piss him off), and Dr. Carson Beckett, who was convicted of crimes against humanity for human experimentation and cloning. Ooh, and John Sheppard, former black ops military assassin and mass murderer (or serial killer, or both), sociopath and weapons expert, who used the first ZPM bomb to level Afghanistan and make it unfit for human occupation *ever* and a free agent who takes assassination contracts for fun. Ford, his drug-addicted second in command with a gift for torture. Bates and Lorne, John's favorite henchman who are all about the mass death and destruction. Zelenka this sneaky engineer who used to help Rodney cover up his crimes and does other brilliant, horrible things. And they all meet at Atlantis and it is totally True Love Foever. Cause they are totally like, huh, we could rule this galaxy. And kill lots and lots of people.

Oh *wow*. Could you see them taking over Atlantis from poor, poor Sumner? *Man*. John would totally get on wavelength with the violent warrior Athosians led by Teyla, and Elizabeth would lead them to a takeover of the Pegasus galaxy. And all the prisoners are given to Carson to cackle over madly and Rodney's all, when do I get to play with bigger weapons? LEt's try for something *galaxy-breaking* and everyone lives happily ever after. And then they decide to conquer the Milky Way.

Maybe Ronon could be like, the last freedom fighter with the sad little Genii behind him, which of course is so sad because Rodnney's like, can I blow it up, and John's like, can't I go in alone with a couple of knives and a rifle, and Carson's whining, but I need more people for my iratus bug experiments! And Elizabeth ruffles all their hair and says indulgently, sure, we can do *all of that*. And bring me Kolya's head on a platter. And pick up some milk on the way home.

*sighs wistfully*

It would happen like that. It would totally happen like that.

Topic #4 -- sport of my choice, from

soul_cake_duck

Okay, this will be a disappointment. I played basketball and ran track when I was in junior high/high school, was a JH and JV cheeerleader, and in Finland, my boyfriend taught me the value of hockey. Other than spectator gymnastics and figure skating? Yeah, not much.

Topic #5 -- Curtains? Do you have an entry worth on curtains? by

sociofemme

Okay, moment here--I own no curtains. But I am looking for curtains for my bed, since it's with the canopy frame thing. Preferably something in gothic romantic vampire. Also, Lowe's has a really *cool* selection, though sadly, nothing in romantic gauze.

Topic #6 -- Things that are attractive about Rodney. from

nightchik

It took me a bit to warm up to him as more than interesting, but...

Yeah, he totally warmed me.

( rodney, trinity, and the three ways I learned to love him )

Cut for--well, I'm not sure, but it seems polite when discussing what your kinks are. I have no idea why. Hmm

( ten kinks plus one bonus kink! )

Flowergate has taken on new--okay, so not going there today. There was a meeting and that's all I will say. I'm in the fannish happy zone. Just--no.

Alrighty then.

( fannish love, five through seven )

And skipping bullet-proof kinks--I'll get back that one. I know I have a list somewhere and I want to see if it still holds true.

Now for something different.

Topic #3 -

rivier asked for "Fandom, please, because today I'm full of feeble fannish love. Can you list a few - maybe seven? I like that number - moments in anything you've had fannish love for, where remembering them in public makes you smirk in ways you wouldn't want to have to explain to a stranger? Not porn, necessarily, not anything ground-shaking. Just the things that bring a smile to your face when you think about them. The "that's my show / film / boys..." feeling.

Ooh, pretty, thank you!

Okay, seven.

( fannish love, one through four )

( badfic, boredom, and the way to the stars, 2/2, numbers six through ten pet peeves )

Hmm. Lets see the next topic.

To suggest a topic, go here

Okay. *cracks knuckles*

Topic One:

amireal suggested bagels and cream cheese.

My response: Yum?

Topic Two:

_minxy - Bore me about badfic. Tell me what needs to happen to make badfic readable, and what takes it into 'oh god, no!' territory, and when it becomes so bad it's sporkable.

and

eretria - Well, since you already offered: Badfic.
Your top 10 pet-peeves in fic.
Your top 10 bulletproof kinks in fic.

Ooh, my favorite topics!

( badfic, boredom, and the way to the stars, 1/2, numbers one through five pet peeves )

In honor of wip_amnesty, since I still refuse to give up on any of my stories, though The Forest People is getting to that place where I could just put up a post saying, please take this and make it work.....

Five Metas I Will Probably Never Get Around to Doing:

( fanny price, mansfield park, seriously, favorite book right now )

( john sheppard, atlantis, headaches )

And—okay, two of five, I’ll post the next three later, as for some reason, they are giving me work to do.

Strange job. With the working and all.

You know, I have always supported the growth and development of badfic. I have. I am non-judgemental. But there are a few things I'd like to address. Just to put on the list, because making me twitch is one thing, but making me cry I'm laughing so hard is quite another. Also, hungry. I get hungry, and not in a good way.

1.) When you have spent multiple paragraphs describing Rodney's stomach, and I find myself, from your adjectives, buidling an image of soft white bread dough and wondering idly if John will start *kneading* it--you may want to go back and rethink it, okay? Because nothing throws me out of a sex scene quite like a sudden curiosity of whether or not Rodney is about to be *baked*.

If John actually starts kneading it, if that *happens*, I swear that even good manners will not stop my mockage. Do not go there.

2.) It seems the use of wonton for wanton has not decreased. I've decided tomorrow is Chinese Night.

3.) I want to give you an image. Okay? Here it is. Rodney the sumo-wrestler and John as Frodo the hobbit. Having sex. If that traumatizes you as much as it does me? Then you honest to God have to stop talking about John as delicate or frail around Rodney's bulk. Cause this can only go to places that

spaggel has exclusive permission to go.

Yes. I've been reading on Wraithbait. It's just--*waves hands*--hypnotic.

Two conversations, late night, three fangirls.

It's kind of my fault. I mean, mostly.

It started with this pic.

svmadelyn and

lierdumoa were worse, though.

seperis: OH MY GOD

seperis: THAT IS ZELENKA?

lierdumoa: you haven't seen that pic?

lierdumoa: yes, do not trust the way the scientists look on the show

lierdumoa: because they try to make them all look less attractive than they are

seperis: My God

seperis: My dear God

seperis: I can totally slash Sheppard and Zelenka

seperis: I can not just slash them.

seperis: I can make them OTP.

lierdumoa: heeeee

seperis: Oh my GOD

lierdumoa: dude, that's like how I felt when I found young DH

lierdumoa: I was like

lierdumoa: ...OH

seperis: I need to write Sheppard/Zelenka right now

seperis: Right now right now right now.

seperis: Something porny.

lierdumoa: heeeee

lierdumoa: any ideas?

seperis: Unfortunately, all of them end up with Rodney blowing up Zelenka's quarters by *accident*.

lierdumoa: ROFL

lierdumoa: I love you

seperis: You know it would.

seperis: Rodney wouldn't even know who to be pissed at first.

seperis: he'd wire both their quarters.

seperis: Sit there with two remotes thinking about it.

( it went way downhill from there )

Okay, days off good. Days off spending long periods of time being completely unproductive--also good. No laundry was done. No cleaning, no dusting, no thoughts of the future I should be mapping out or even so much as clipping a single solitary fingernail that just might have a hangnail. Oh no. I read *fic*. And also, re-watching SGA eps to for the fun of watching Sheppard feeling up consoles so they glow for him. That never, ever gets old. It just really doesn't.

( so much fun )

*purring*

Thirteen eps down (fourteen? something, kind of all a blur), the rest of disc two to go. Darling

chopchica, I owe you *so much*.

Sleep is *so* optional. At least, until I crash hard tomorrow night. Which will lead to strange, surreal dreams probably involving naked scientists and beds that appear magically from beneath perfectly normal floors. A lot like last night.

I am happy. And also, probably on the edge of crazy. This? Good thing.

I'd like to personally thank the entire SGA fandom for all that sleep I'm no longer getting. Like at all. My coworkers would extend their appreciation, since they deal with my mood in the morning when I show up to work and promise to wreck dire vengeance to the first person to make so much as a gesture in my general direction, but explaining to them the reason would be one of those moments I never, ever want to live through. Thanks a *lot*.

I have discovered there are Certain Benefits for reading the fanfic before getting to the source text. One, I can be completely and utterly influenced to just adore a pairing I have yet to see onscreen. I'm sure that makes me beyond words shallow, but I don't even *care*. Oh man. I love wandering through a new fandom. Yes.

Actually, it's kind of fun. All the joy of exposure without any knowledge of canon influencing my thinking. Reminds me of the good old days of X-Men Movieverse, where I'd written several stories before the movie was sent to me by my beta when she realized that things could go south fast if I tried any complex plotlines. Which in retrospect is really damn funny, but more importantly, I got away with it.

This is happy. Also, knowing I'll have the eps as fast as the mail can travel? Good happy.

But. Thought. If someone had *told me* there was the equivalent of intergalactic vampires? I would have *so been there*.

Also, Sheppard is *pretty*. Wow.

Adn whoo! BSG season two in less than a month! Does life *get* any better than this? No, it does not.
