I've just added two handbound journals to the auction at help_haiti, listed under Artistry. Go bid! :)

ETA: Okay, now I've figured out how to link to the thread with my exact listing. :)

Pairing(s): mckay/sheppard; rating pg-13; spoilers through end of season 5. Written for the 2009 McShep Match Peace Team. Go Peace!!!

( Go to fic )

I'm halfway through This Child Will Be Great, a political memoir by Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the president of Liberia and the first woman head-of-state of an African country. ( More )

Current Mood: impressed

Here's everything I reviewed this month for the 2009 LGBTQ Recs Fest over on LJ. I really enjoy this comm, both the posting and reading everyone else's posts. I've had to make two unplanned trips to the bookstore because of it! :)

Movie: The Incredibly True Adventures of 2 Girls in Love, directed by Maria Maggenti

Book: Sexual Fluidity: Understanding Women's Love and Desire, by Lisa Diamond

Movie: The Watermelon Woman, written and directed by Cheryl Dunye

Book: The Art Lover, by Carole Maso

Opera: Ainadamar, by Osvaldo Golijov

Do not use a magnet to clip a Netflix envelope to the side of your refrigerator until you're ready to watch the movie.

When the envelope is knocked askew, the dvd will slide out of the envelope and into the 1/8 inch space between the fridge and the cabinet, where you will be unable to retrieve it without committing to a complete kitchen remodel. You will see this out of the corner of your eye but be unable to catch the dvd in time. Also, the the onions you're sauteing will burn while you try to reach the dvd.

Current Mood: amused

I found this while browsing at the public library: the story of an African woman who was raised in France in the late 1700s. ( More )

Current Mood: sad

These were originally posted separately, the first on the LJ community Casa McShep and the sequels on my own LJ.

All three are John/Rodney and PG. Altogether they're about 1600 words. Warnings at the bottom.

( Where the Heart Is )

( Tomorrow )

( Testament )

Yay, here I am on Dreamwidth! This is where I plan to do most of my posting from now on.

I'm copying the SGA fic from my LJ without the comments, mostly because I want to do some editing on the stories I wrote last week and I sort of feel like I shouldn't make significant changes to something after people have commented on it. (At least, without markup to show the edits, which would utterly ruin the prose!)

I'm also going to post more broadly on things besides SGA. Up to now I've had two LJs, one for fandom and one for other interests; now I'm going to be wholistic.

This was inspired, oddly, by

spuffyduds' hilarious Five Planets Atlantis is Never Contacting Again, or at Least If They Do, They're Sending Another Damn Team, Not John's. (Go read it!)

I don't have the gift of writing humor (this is h/c instead) but the other thing I admired about Five Planets... was that there was a story arc in the progression of the five things. I experimented with that here. Aaaaand I used a McSheplets prompt.

Spoilers for Doppelganger and The Shrine. PG.

( Five Symptoms John Sheppard Isn't Used to Having )

I was just about to post something new and I realized I never made a link to my McShep Match story! (Despite using the icon for months. The colors are nice with my page design...)

This was for the prompt "call of duty."

The Thought That Counts (McShep Match home team)

A comment fic for

berlinghoff79's Inventory Day comment fest. My real reason for re-posting here is that I want to change a few words. Perfectionist? You could say that. *cringe*

( Inventory ficlet )

A bit of fluff for the McFleece challenge:

( SGA Ficlet: Getting Warm )

Goodness, I'm productive tonight. Here's another from the depths of my hard-drive. Maybe I'm finally connecting with my inner angst again? That would make me very happy!

( SGA ficlet: Promise )

This has been languishing on my hard drive, 90% complete, and I had a notion to finish it this evening.

I'm feeling a certain amount of authorial identity crisis. In previous fandoms, I craved angst like a drug, both in my reading and writing. I still do, but don't seem to be able to write it anymore.

Instead, I give you:

( The Numbers Game: Or, Atlantis Reads Harry Potter )

Wow, back in July I certainly didn't think it would be three months before I had time to post again! Since then I've been out of the country for two and a half weeks and had five sets of houseguests (!) and a killer sinus infection.

But I'm all better now and I finished a little story, hurray!

( Ficlet: Scarf )

McKay/Sheppard established relationship; PG; no spoilers I can think of.
Disclaimer: not mine, no profit.

For

semielliptical - Surprise!

( Story )

Current Location: my sofa
Current Mood: pleased

After seven years away from fandom,

semielliptical lured me back with DVDs of the first season of Stargate: Atlantis. It worked brilliantly! (At one point she used the word "mainlining" to describe my consumption of McKay/Sheppard stories. Not sure if she was worried or impressed.)

Since then I've been astonished by the incredible number of talented and brilliant people writing utterly wonderful stories in this fandom. Brava to you all. You are amazing.
