Hello and happy New Year!

I'm extremely late for my SGA Santa (John/Rodney, PG). If anyone is available tomorrow to beta, that would be much appreciated. I'll have the first draft finished tonight.

And then I'll be able to read the fic written for me. :D

I also have three Naruto Shippuden fics ISO a beta, if there's any interest:

- A comic Shikamaru/Temari piece, PG-13 but with much nudity. ~4k words

- A Sasuke ficlet. PG, Gen. 700 words. Based when he's approached by the Akasuki.

- An epistolary post-Shippuden canon (not Boruto or the films), PG. ~3k words
Sasuke trying to piece himself back together. Naruto tries, Kakashi tries, but it's Sakura who makes headway into his self-absorption. Sasuke/Naruto, Sasuke/Kakashi, Sasuke/Sakura.

My favorite Naruto characters are Naruto, Kakashi, and Shikamaru (and Akamaru). Love the warm and compassionate Iruka, too. But for some reason, like Naruto, I can't help but try to fix what's broken in Sasuke.

Found a lost ficlet that I'd never posted anywhere but the SGA Santa community:

Written for [personal profile] lavvyan in appreciation for her jumping in to pinch-hit.

Title: Blood Bonded
Fandom: SGA
Pairing: Gen, Ronon/Lorne
Rated: PG-13
Summary: Lorne pounded the first thing within reach -- which turned out to be Ronon's stomach. "Gimme your pulse pistol." The team blinked in surprise when Ronon simply handed it over.

Watching The Untamed and enjoying it -- including the Mack truck sized plot holes. Not fannish about it, and not much time to write anyways. All my fic ideas are still SG-1 and SGA.

Grateful people enjoyed Veni, Vidi, Vici (or Rodney's High School Reunion): https://archiveofourown.org/works/43840062 No reply from my recipient, but what can you do but put your feet up, lean back, and mainline another episode of The Hurt-Comfort--I mean, The Untamed.

Also reading a web comic by Red from Overly Sarcastic Productions called Aurora: https://comicaurora.com/

I, of course, adore the haughty Erin Ruunaser. Great characters, amazing world building, every character is emotionally insightful but okay, fine. I'm not really a webcomic person (this is my first) but I loved the Ruunaser reveal. (You'll know what I mean when you get there.) I'm taking a break from it because they're doing zombies and I don't like zombies, so I figure I wait till she finishes that section and skim through it.

Run, don't walk, to read my gift fic from [personal profile] respoftw, who I've just discovered because I haven't been around.

Best. Rodney. Voice. Ever.

A Mission With A View

As one commenter put it: only John and Rodney could be dating without know they're dating.

It's good to be back.

Whew. *flomph* Done. Finally finished my SGA Santa BAMF Rodney fic.

But I didn't get the ending done in time for my beta to review it. So... flying blind.

Anyone bored? Enjoying hot chocolate and thinking, "how much do I nope going out into this weather?" and perhaps "I would love to avoid everything I should do and instead tell Icarus if her ending is any good?"

*crickets*

*squirrels*

*snowballs*

Beta?

Is anyone interested in betaing an SGA Santa fic? Rodney-centric (request is BAMF Rodney) -- I KNOW, I somehow always wrote John POV.
icarus: Snape by mysterious artist (Default)
Title: The Empire Strikes Who What Now?
Author: [personal profile] icarus, i.e. [personal profile] icarusancalion
Recipient: DorothyOz
Pairing: John/Cam, friendship
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: Totally, totally clean.
Author's Notes: Four years ago DorothyOz wanted John/Cam. I gave her Peter Grodin (it's complicated what happened, but it was supposed to the first story in a three story series and... well, it fell apart when the writer of part two dropped out of the Secret Santa and, oh, it was too ambitious). Thank you to [personal profile] esteefee, [personal profile] sian1359, and [personal profile] wyomingnot for the beta.
Summary: John glinted at him like a bad kid in high school who dared you, and got you sent to the principal’s office for the first time in your life.

Am seeking a beta who can tell me if:

a) My story is plot-less and
b) If I have Cam's voice right

Any takers? It's short, only ~700 words long.

Yes. I wrote A Thing.

I've been far out of fandom for some time. Many reasons for it, but right now I'm in grad school, working, and deep into many, many projects. All of which take Time.

Yet I never miss the SGA Santa. Not if I can help it.

[personal profile] scribblinlenore points out that this is the ten year anniversary of the SGA Fandom! What better way to celebrate than ...

...SGA Santa!

sga-secretsanta-promobanner5.jpg

I'm there.
icarus: Snape by mysterious artist (Default)
Having just found out about the new Secret Santa challenge, I spoke with the mod (pleaded, begged...).

There was another person who'd missed the deadline. So [personal profile] siennavie took pity on us and opened up a "round two" for the sign-ups.

http://sga-secretsanta.livejournal.com/482.html

YES! My sign-up's already in! Spread the word!

There's a new SGA Santa exchange -- AND NOBODY TOLD ME???

I went back to the old SGA Santa comm to wistfully kick cans, wishing it weren't over, just ... hopeful ... that this year Alyse had changed her mind.

Maybe it was instinct.

Maybe it was an old friend rereading my fic for her from last year.

I can't do Yuletide. I tried. Random micro-fandoms don't work for me. I'm too much a fandom monogamist.

And there was the announcement. A new SGA Secret Santa comm!

I rushed over to sign up.

The last day to sign up was last week.

Not even exaggerating when I say I'm heartbroken and on the verge of tears.

Hello!

I have a new SGA story in the works and am looking for a beta. Any takers?

Yours,
Icarus

I have written new SGA fic.

The working title is "Peter Grodin Saves The Day."

But the ending's giving me trouble. Any interested betas out there?

SGA friends, drop everything.

Canis Lupus just rebooted the SGA fandom.

SGA: Decade by canis_lupus - John/Rodney - NC-17
Ten years ago, an expedition left for Atlantis. They were never heard from again.

She solved it.

Tying up the final episode, TPTB left fanfiction writers a knotty problem: the explorers never wanted to go home.

They lost everything. Atlantis. Pegasus Galaxy. Independence.

The "grand homecoming" forced misfits back into square peg-round hole lives. After they'd changed, grown, and become an even worse fit.

In fanfic, they stole Atlantis and ran home. They started over on Earth. Left Earth. Struggled with "normal." But Earth's a tar baby in SGA: you can't escape.

Until now.

Canis Lupus takes us back to season one ... and cuts the ties. It's fresh. Fascinating to see the cultural changes. Atlantis is a genuinely alien hybrid society. Yet still our people.

Go read. Shoo-shoo! And come write with me my friends, an independent Atlantis.


ETA: Dang, it's hard to get this to crosspost to LJ.
icarus: Snape by mysterious artist (Default)
I did it again. I found another SGA Santa fic that I never posted outside the comm.

I realize I've been busy.

I realize I've had a job that doesn't give me two days off in a row.

But really, there's no excuse.

On the plus side, that means we've uncovered an entire cache of fics. Here you go:

Title: Toy Drums & Soldiers
Author: icarusancalion
Recipient: sabinelagrande
Pairing: John/Rodney
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: Mild references to D/s.
Author's Notes: Sabinelagrande asked Santa for kinky fic with or without sex, and humor, and lots of other things I didn't include. Santa's sleigh was crowded! I couldn't resist a team fic and presents. Lots and lots of presents. Thank you to busaikko and rabidfan for the rapid, cheerful betas. I can always count on you.
Summary: The Atlantis expedition exchanges Christmas gifts, banter, and inside jokes.

('Coal?' Ronon asked.

'It's an oily mineral. You burn it to keep warm,' John explained.

'Valuable gift,' Ronon commented.
)

Amazingly, I totally forgot to post this anywhere besides the SGA Santa community.

Title: Sheppard and the Mud Frogs
Author: Santa (icarusancalion)
Recipient: aqualegia
Characters: John, Rodney, mud frogs, and a shiny, shiny stargate
Rating: PG
Notes: For sga_santa 2013 edition. I got a very open request so I hope this was on your Christmas list. Beta by the ever-forgiving [personal profile] rabidfan and [personal profile] sarka.
Summary:
The fact that they'd landed at all, let alone in one piece, would've left NASA breathless in wonder.


The fact that they'd landed at all, let alone in one piece, would've left NASA breathless in wonder. But they were used to pulling off miracles, so they circled the Jumper, furious with each other. )
