Technical wizardry, all hail.

90 degrees and rising in our apartment and the virtually-new fan opted to die.

The boyfriend and I did the usual snarking about "it's a piece of crap" and "don't make 'em like they used to" and hit the stores to buy another. Apparently they've been flying off the shelves (unsurprisingly) this week, and all that was available... was this same model fan. Which no one wants.

WG went to REI to beat the heat. I have the drapes drawn, windows and doors open to beat the heat.

I decided to do a dead fan autopsy, bring out my inner McKay. Hey, it could be something obvious, right? Hmm. Like that wad of long WG-hair wrapped around the main shaft, uh, I bet....

... Eureka! Behold! The fan lives!

We Americans, we give up too easily. We are cowed by small appliances. Just unplug the thing, bring out the screwdrivers, and if it's already broken you really can't make it any worse.

The kitty now basks before it, his fur blowing in the breeze.

SGA Year One (mostly): Fanon.

SGA Year One (mostly): Fanon

The first year of SGA, fans rushed in and extrapolated from canon, filling in the blanks. The ones I can think of:

Season one:

( John )

( Rodney! He needs his own list. )

( Zelenka )

( Atlantis Economics )

( Elizabeth )

( Don't Ask, Don't Tell )

( Kavanagh! How could I forget? )

( Off-world Civilizations )

Early season two:

( Scientists vs. the Marines )

( Lorne )

( Chuck )

( The Original Expedition )

That's all I can think of. Did I miss any?

Note (thanks, mecurtin): Since the momentum for SGA really built in 2005, I usually group season one and the first half of season two together. There are problems with this, but the fandom ballOOOOOned the summer and fall of 2005 creating much of the fanon that year. Hmm. Let me reorganize this list.
