Yay! SGA Santa fic is done and in.

I've proved one can write lighthearted Christmas fic while standing in line at the MVA. But then again, it was my fifth trip to the MVA to get my Maryland license and I'd grown immune. I mean, the MVA was like a second home by then.

(I'd say the hold up was me, but as I stood in line Thursday I heard another weary MVA "customer" tell his father, "I thought I had everything this time, but they need your green card papers too, and that's the one document I didn't bring." Yessir, even if you drag a file cabinet, you still won't have everything. Well. I managed it once when I registered my car. But the MVA people looked nonplussed, startled, and strangely disappointed. Then gave me misinformation to make sure it would never happen again. Hence, five trips to get something much simpler.)

I am typing on my brand spanking new computer. It's vast. It feels like a great big mansion of a computer with no furniture yet. And it was so cool helping S. put it together. So doable. One step up from assembling cabinet doors -- until he got to the wiring and then I was lost.

Now to sign up for icenetwork.com and download all of this season's Merlin.

You know what else? I haven't turned on the TV once tonight. Because I have a compuuuuuteeeeeeer.

...says the ficwriter who started bugging Alyce about this in, oh, August?

Yes, yes, the SGA Santa authors have been revealed.

I can now confess to writing a romantic death pact.

Title: Squid And Christmas Trees
Author: [personal profile] icarusancalion
Recipient: [personal profile] mific
Rating: R
Pairing: John/Rodney, also features explosive squid
Warnings: None, unless you are squid intolerant
Summary: Wherein John handles squid, and Rodney makes a death pact. Sort of.
A/N: Beta'd by the always tolerant [personal profile] rabidfan.

( Rodney's eyes goggled. "I thought you said you had steady hands. You have to have steady hands!" )

Happy New Year!
icarus: (John by Monanotlisa)
And for your entertainment ...

Cracked.com's 'Five Ridiculous Things You Probably Believe About Islam

I've noticed the Yuletide cheer spreading across my friends list. Come one, come all. One year I'm going to write one of these. In the meantime, have an [community profile] sga_santa rec for Christmas:

A Fist Full Of Power Bars, SGA, teamfic, Gen, funnnny

Who wrote this? Can we have them cloned? John finally bests Ronon at something. "John had always imagined it would feel good to beat Ronon at something. It didn't. It felt fantastic!" We get note-perfect character voices -- especially John, who is 12 (if that). A plausible explanation of the weird initiation rituals. And the best end notes to a story, ever.

My own story was well-received. Meanwhile my fic writer was kind enough to write classic gender-switch for me. (grins) Best part: she actually considered some very plausible solutions to John's, er, problem. I found myself slapping my forehead. Why we didn't think of this before?

And The Plural For Penis Is? SGA, John/Rodney, NC-17, genderswitch

Hmm. And now I may just poke S. with a stick to see if he's still alive.
