I confess, I find gossip dull. wildernessguru comes home from work with the latest about this and that co-worker and even if I've met them, wow, I don't care.

I confess, I find negative gossip depressing. wildernessguru comes home from work with news about the latest screw-ups in this or that person's work or personal life and especially if I've met them, wow, I really don't want to hear it. It makes me want to help them, and if I can't, it leaves me feeling helpless and unhappy.

There's a reason I'm always out of the loop. In fandom and out of fandom. I miss WG telling me about world news, sigh.

I have 2,700 words of the next part of Out Of Bounds (a.k.a. the skating fic) done. You guys want it, or would you like to wait for the next part?

SGA Fic: Out Of Bounds - John/Rodney, NC-17 (someday)

So completely unbeta'd. The next part will have music -- oh! And if you want to read the whole thing up to this point, it's here. I just like the list of quotes below.

Part one: 'Get back out there.' – 'No. I'm taking up hockey. It'll *hurt* less.'
Part two: 'So why do we have to skate in the nude again?'
Part three: Naturally, John had brought the boom box but had forgotten to bring any music.
Part four: Rodney wondered if John knew 'Mustang Sally' was a favorite with strippers the world over.
Part five: 'This is hero worship, isn't it?'
Part six: 'Me coach. You student. You keep forgetting that lately.'
Part seven: It was just hockey, not a cardinal sin.
Part eight: I'm sure when we were being chased by sabre-toothed tigers we did all kinds of neat tricks.
Part nine: 'You want to be alone?' Kim-the-unutterably-stupid asked.
Part ten: He mentally took back his den and no longer had to worry about John's exercise equipment.
Part eleven: 'I take American Express.'
Part twelve: Give John a spotlight and what does he do? Skate in the dark.
Part thirteen: Something about a dead hamster-?
Part fourteen: Being a UPS driver had been great, nice people, but it worked all the wrong muscle groups.
Part fifteen: 'I don't think she actually skates -- she just floats over the ice like a fruit fly!'
Part sixteen: 'You see me naked and you think I'm athlete?'
Part seventeen: Pain was good. It told John when he went too far.
Part eighteen: 'Oh, yes, we're all very impressed with your vapid conversation.'

( 'Oh, yes, we're all very impressed with your vapid conversation.' )

Added after the fact: Heart Still Beating - Ottmar Liebert (coming soon)

Unbelievably, I've finally updated.
