Chess sets with shiney, shiney teeth

Looking at a video of a celebrity, trying to figure out what's changed I realize - oh. He got his teeth done.

I liked him better before, even though now he is more handsome. This "Hollywood Teeth" thing makes everyone look the same. Okay, different, but like they all belong to the same chess set.

Here's one of my favourite Stargate SG-1 fics. It's not long, but it accounts very well for the strangeness of Jack-the-Air Force colonel sleeping with Daniel:

Kawhoosh! by Anais. R/NC-17

I cracked up at this Teal'c makeover by tafkarfic:

Queer Eye For The SG-1 by Tafkar. PG (but don't run, it's fun!)

Then something to warm your heart, which is by danvers so of course has edgy, funny dialogue and a sense of the absurd, so isn't saccharine for a millisecond:

A Christmas Wish by Danvers. PG-13

Hooray, blatantly NC-17 off-world sex with denial! I'm sure I've rec'd this before, but in case I haven't:

Pavlov by Kalimyre

Now I'm going to amaze myself - I'm actually rec'ing Gen. Not only that, what recommends it most is danvers crystal clear, fierce and edgy Sam Carter, pre-Stargate progame:

SG-1

Enjoy.

Funny computer noise: 'Twas brillig and the slithy...

If your hard drive "burbles" and sounds a bit like a top that's off-kilter (a soft wobbling sound), that's bad, isn't it?

Any advice?

I have none of my software backed up (unable to upload to my webspace and no CD-burning capability), it all came with the computer, though my fics are safe. wildernessguru and I are buying an external drive this weekend with money we don't have.

I'm hoping this is not the end of my computer since that would screw up every level of work, school, writing, a lot of my social life -- I'd say everything but my sexlife revolves around this little box.

Sam shivered and rubbed her shoulders. She was grateful for the fire at least, but second watch was only marginally better than third. If the colonel drew fourth watch one more time she was going to suspect cheating.

With a sigh, she blew on her hands and reluctantly followed procedure and walked the perimeter of their campsite, the fire snapping behind her. She glanced back. It was too smoky, or at least it would be if there were any hostiles about. But they'd established there weren't. She was sure about that.

Well. Pretty sure. Theoretically it was sound.

As she approached Colonel O'Neill and Daniel's tent she heard a sharp yelp -- and froze. Daniel. She leaned towards the tent, but the sound didn't repeat.

"Daniel?" she whispered. "Are you okay?"

"Uh, yeah…" His voice sounded sleepy and somewhat strangled. "Um… just a - a rock."

Sam raised her eyebrows and tried not to laugh. "Okay," she managed. From the sound of Daniel's voice it was obvious what he was doing, though he'd better not wake up the colonel if he knew what was good for him. "Then I'll, ah, leave you alone."

She crept away, wiping her mouth as she smothered a giggle. If Daniel thought he was getting out of this without being teased tomorrow, oh he was sadly mistaken.




Yes. I know, too short. But I couldn't resist. More to come (cough) I promise.

Okay, this took a little longer than I planned, but here goes.
