dirty words

Have I mentioned that while doing this Tok'ra'thon I'm also assembling a Star Trek: TNG jigsaw puzzle? The Enterprise is finished except for one section of the forward hull that's lacking some structural integrity (let's say it's the section the Borg carved out that one time!) and now I'm having trouble finding the rest of Guinan's hat.

( Meanwhile, on SG-1... )

So I've spent my evenings this week editing fanfic and putting together a Star Trek: TNG jigsaw puzzle while watching Tok'ra episodes of SG-1, and really, I think that scene just needs a little more nerd in it, don't you?

Well, until I figure out a way to do that, let me SHARE MY TOK'RA FEELINGS with you!

( TOK'RA FEELINGS! )

Title: "Uncomplicated"
Rating: NC-17
Pairings: Jack O'Neill/Elizabeth Weir, Sam/Jack UST
Episode related: "New Order" & "Rising"
Summary: Maybe, with her, it really is as simple it seems.
Author's Note: It was 2004, between "New Order" and "Rising." In those days, we were all making "Pete must die!" t-shirts, trying to remember all the new characters' names, and plotting Elizabeth's list of future conquests. "New Order" inspired me to write porn for the very first time, and 6 years later, I'm finally posting it! Step into the wayback machine and enjoy.

Summary: She's a 35-year-old woman on the fast track to teen pregnancy and a truancy record, and if just one more person tells her that she's ruining her talented, brilliant future, she's going to start taking hostages.
For: indiefic and indiefic's infinite patience, for the help_haiti auction.
Deemed safe for public consumption by anr and besyd.

Headers, part I, and explanation here.

*plants Amnesty flag and runs away*

I just can't quit you.

First, to reward myself for finally going through the stacks of old paperwork cluttering up my craft area, I put on my all-time favorite Stargate SG-1 episode: "Redemption." (There's humor! Action! Pathos! Ry'ac! More humor!)

Then, because it got linked off something someone shared on my Google reader, I read all the Stargate articles at "The Hathor Legacy," which discuss in detail how Sam Carter is either the best or worst thing to happen to women on television, and also, how Janet Fraiser was always really cool.

Then I started rereading old unfinished fic, and now I want to finish "Second Chances," the post-Heroes-meets-parallel-universe-technobabble-angstfest thing I started writing back in 2004. It got derailed by some combination of going on psychiatric medication and realizing that I'd written the first 30,000 words or so entirely from Daniel's point of view, and in order to continue the story I needed to be able to follow everybody else around, too. So, probably rewriting is needed. Also -- my angst was a lot wordier back then, and much more dramatic. People had a lot of anguish clawing their hearts. (Not to mention the technobabble craze I seemed to be on -- I wrote pages about the detailed workings of a differential quantum resonance frequency compensator, and I'm pretty sure we can call that a symptom of mania.)

So. Yikes. I don't take on big creative projects anymore, really, and I'm not sure how to attack it, aside from setting aside time and trying to remember all the plot points. Do I rewrite first? Plow forward with the POV madness as it is and call it a draft? Actually write an outline? Can I just forget about writing it, watch "Rite of Passage" a few times, and move on?

Oh, STARGATE.

Title: "Holiday Wrapping"
Rating: PG
Category: Daniel/Janet, Cassie, a little bit of team dorkiness
