Title: Because I Could Not Stop For Love (1/?)
Genre: Angst, Teyla/Sheppard.
Rating: PG
Spoilers: Nada. Set around S2.
Disclaimer: Stargate Atlantis is not mine.
Summary:After John gets infected by a techno virus making it impossible to remain in Atlantis, he goes to live on the mainland, with the Athosians.
Notes: This was originally intended for a Five Stages of Love with housework as a prompt (hence the scene in teh kitchen) but I've spun it in another direction. Or rather, my muse did. And the title is a play of words on the first line of an Emily Dickinson poem: 'Because I could not stop for Death/ He kindly stopped for me...' One of my fvorites

So... I've been off LJ for a long time! For starters, I got completely fed up with the show cause S5 was mostly a nightmare for me. There were some great eps but mostly, I cringed and ranted and just plain hated it. I also felt a real need to focus more on
real life and not whatever my overactive imagination cooks up.

Every time I'd come back on my page, I'd literally feel sick and trapped. Took me a while but I realized it was the blue layout *shudders* and the guilt over the 100 page unbeta'ed fic I still haven't posted!!  It seems kinda trivial now, especially since I missed you guys and the end of the show (!!!). But some things I'm not good at facing head on.

I'd probably still be in that groove if my sister hadn't gotten mysteriously hooked on SGA. She saw the entire series in about two weeks and of course fell in love with Sheppard/Teyla. She's realy taken, everything reminds her of SGA, Sheppard this, Sheppard that, but luckily, it reminded me of how much I loved the characters and I got back to the 20 or so unfinished fics on my harddrive. This one spoke to me the most. :) ... )

 I haven't posted in two months and the easiest way to explain it is to start from the beginning.

In June there were my exams so clearly I was busy. I started working full-time as a summerjob at the post office where I usually just have 10-12 hours a week. I'm not sure I've elaborated before but my co-workers range from the incredibly lonely and annoying to the bitter and very mean, all of them with abusive tendencies. So 37 hours a week stuck with them was already hell.

Then... Friday about two weeks ago, my only friend there got held up at knife point for about 300USD. She and everyone else there that day were of course too freaked to come back so we got hit by 4 sickleaves all at once. Being a good trooper and I'd even say just a normal human being capable of understanding, I tried to help and worked extra-shifts. My colleagues on the other hand couldn't handle the "stress" and called in sick, one at a time (four of them), each on a different day. Every morning, I'd come and someone else had given us the finger and decided to stay home. One of them even had the nerve to call and say she was calling in sick until her vacation. I hung up on her.

All this while our boss was on vacation (still is) and basically his replacements didn't know enough to reign them in. I'd also like to add that we had temps for the one who'd been involved in the robbery and I pretty much took on most of the extra work while they had 3 cigaret breaks per hour and refused point-blank to do more work than usual.

So there we are, cruelly understaffed and my friend decides she can come back to work. To face her fears and all that jazz, and cause we're understaffed she ends up back in the register tending customers. First day was great actually, the two of us basically handled all the problems (people calling up and yelling at you cause the slackers hadn't done their jobs right, etc.) and we all thought the atmosphere was so much lighter without the others who thrive on chronic stress. If there isn't enough, they'll create it and drama to go with.

Right, so first day, second  day, and on Wednesday, just before closing, my friend got held up by a junkie-looking woman who held a syringe to her arm and threatened to stick her if she didn't give her money.

We've both been on sickleave since, had talks with the psychologist and the fact that I'm even posting tells me I'm getting better. It was mostly like getting clubbed over the head and I have been sooo tired. I still am but it's gotten better. Suffices to say my SGA Bigbang story is still on my computer awaiting final touches. I got out of the haze just in time to see the deadline'd passed and it's been weighing on me ever since.

[info]tickliekindly passed on writing J/T so I could so I'm  definitely going to finish the story. I'll post it around the same time the site will go live but it won't be part of the actual challenge. Sorry.

I'm stil sleeping a LOT and have gotten a bit too fond of lounging around my apartment so I may not be around anytime soon but you guys take care. XOXO :)
 

PS: My mom just called to tell me my cousin's coming from Africa with her 5 kids in three days and looking around, the house is a total mess! The workers are still working on two bathrooms and... I'm starting to wonder what kind of karma I had in my last life!

 

Everything is always about TV!

  • May. 22nd, 2008 at 2:40 PM

All the season finales are over, except for Lost next week and I got a very disparate load of stuff. I watch 7 TV shows: Moonlight, Bones, One Tree Hill, Lost, Smallville, Supernatural and of course SGA. I only have Lost left and then that's it. A month and a half without TV shows till July 11th. What will I do?'1 I'll probably study. 

... But then there's the FIFA World Cup, the French Open and a little later on: the Olympic Games. Californication'll start up again though I can't imagine what they'll do. But yes, I think I'll survive!

Cause it's polite to, I'll put it under cuts. No spoilage!

Moonlight )

Bones )




S4 of Lost's been amazing, with an intensity only Lost can bring. The pace slackened a little bit in S2 but the last 2 seasons sure have delivered. Two-hour season finale's next week and hopefully more answers! I need more answers!

Walk the Path Beside Me (Part 2)

  • May. 22nd, 2008 at 4:29 AM

Title: Walk the Path Beside Me
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: John/Teyla, future chapters will include Teyla/Kanan.
Disclaimer: SGA is not mine!
Summary: It's a unusual kind of relationship. But most importantly, it's theirs!
Comments: A sort of re-write of SGA with a J/T angle. I'm trying to insert J/T into the show so it fits with canon. All the way into my version of early S5. 


This took me quite a while! My main problem was kinda obvious: JT isn't canon! And to think this fic started with an idea to write Teyla/Kanaan, I just needed to set a sort of background! But oh I love it! and next chapter is goin to be sooo good. Instinct and Conversion, here I come. Yay! I just hope I make it before the shows starts again.

And yes tielan, I'll write them on missions too, the question is: which one?

Unbeta'ed. I had a sudden burst of inspiration. I should really go to bed.

Comments: A sort of re-write of SGA with a J/T angle. I'm trying to insert J/T into the show so it fits with canon. All the way into my version of early S5. 

My computer's dead so I can't carry on with old projects. Instead, I came up with this! hope I didn't lose my way too much in trying to make it work. This is just the beginning, there's about 4 seasons to go through, 

Plus S5 begins airing on July 11th! Praise the Lord, Glory, Amen!!! *looks around nervously for the serial killer on X-Files*

Also went surfing for new icons and found some kickass ones courtesy of 
 Shivika's Corner.

TV! TV! More TV!

  • Apr. 24th, 2008 at 12:52 PM

I haven't posted since Jan 9th!!!

So what have I been up to? School, my student job and X-Files! About 85 episodes of X-Files and I have to say Scully is the best crafted female character I've ever seen on  a TV show. The show has 9 seasons, so there's plenty of time to dissect her but even by the first season you've got her pegged. The other eight seasons are just her always being in character. She's a scientist, a federal agent who can whip out her gun faster than anyone, who kicks ass and mostly she uses her intellect and never backs down. On the other hand, she's also a woman of faith, trying to reconcile it with everything she sees in order to overcome her one fear: daring to believe.

Mulder's pretty much the same and add the storylines (not the conspiracy stuff, I'm not that into it) but their personal story arcs: Emily, Samantha, Scully's illness, the excellent writing the utter fun! and I can't get enough. As you can tell with the ranting and I even stayed general. And cause I can never resist I'll recommend just 2 eps and boy is that hard: 6x18 Milagro, cause it's a nice study of Scully written  something I only recognized once I started writing it myself: fanfic! The episode's narrator is writing fanfic about Scully, with 2 pairings! And the other one is 3x20 Jose Chung's Outer Space. Cause it's 45 mn of everything I love about the show.

Then I disovered Farscape and after the initial shock (!) I completely fell for the show. It's so out there! It's crazy: the costumes, the language but after even just a few episodes I found myself believing in that universe and loving the wackiness. It's so out there that it works for me! I love Moya and her crew and Aeryn/Crichton is beautifully done. I love that there's never any doubt, that the back and forth is between them, because of their issues and not potential others or what have you. And they really are beautiful together, so touching.

And then there's Aeryn Sun herself. I actually started watching the show cause when talking about Teyla's pregnancy Tielan said something like 'we know she can't be like Aeryn Sun firing a gun while giving birth' and I thought 'there's a show like that?!' I had to find out which one and there was Aeryn. Unlike X-Files where I love Mulder, I don't really like Crichton all that much so the pairing mostly works for me cause it's centered around her evolution and transformation (there's really no other word for it.)

So that's a lot of eps right and my computer's startig to run a little slow but I still managed to get sucked into the .
All those shows and I still don't feel like getting into those fandoms. For some unknown reason, SGA's the only show that inspires me to write. So off I go! I have comments to answer too! It's gonna be great to get back in touch with everyone!

Beta, anyone?

  • Mar. 16th, 2008 at 4:48 PM

I'm sorry, I haven't updated in a long while but I've been crazy busy. This LJ feels like an empty house but I was also vey low on the inspiration.

However, I have two ficathon entries in the works and I really need a beta to read my story for the [info]sga_genficathon over the next ten days. It's due in two weeks, but I'd like to have it done by March 25th as I'm heading to N.Y.C the next day.

So, any volunteers? It's a team fic, angst, written for a Endings and Beginnings prompt and it'll be about 6,000 ords. I'm personally very proud of it, I think I may have outdone myself. Which is why I need a second opinion, in case I haven't.

Let me know...

Happy New Year!!!

  • Jan. 6th, 2008 at 10:23 PM
proud

Best wishes for 2008: health, love, success and all that jazz!

I was going to do the New Year's resolution thing again this year, but I went over last year's and realized I  got some of it done. The rest I'm stil working on and that I'm actually perpetually thinking up new stuff. So, this year: I think I'll just join the gym. And keep trying. Harder.

That being said, exam period's passed but I still have two projects to hand in on the 15th and 25th. I'm mentionning it cause it would explain why I'm late replying to comments or finishing fic, but the truth is: I'm always like that, even without constraints on my time (if that even exists). So basically, sorry. :)

I wil say though, that so far my muse has only been active for challenges or ficathons, hence the few fics I will be posting.

I also upgraded my account back to paid an decided to get a new look and a batch of new icons to go along with it. New Year, new style! I raided

[info]azangal_iconsand a few more of my favorite providers. I couldn't make an icon to save my life but luckily so many people make them really, really well. My next project is to find someone to make me banner, preferably a JT fan with whom I could trade fic. 

I did make one resolution though, a fimly set one that I hope I'll be able to keep up. I have to comment more, be more present on LJ. Respond! I've posted a few fics around and it feels so nice when people take the time to respond and tell you how much they like it. Also I'm amazed at Tielan and her tireless energy in promoting and encourging people in all things JT. I figure I don't get as much fic as I'd like, so the least I can do, is encourage people to write and produce more.

It's good to be back.

 PS: My oh so lovely icon is coutersy of Harmonie15. Innit beautiful? I think I'll take it for a spin and comment all over LJ.

I haven’t been around LJ, except to post my santa assignment and partake in

FIC: Princess Of Her Time

Title: Princess of her Time

Rating: PG-13. Because.
Spoilers:Nothing in particular. Think beginning of season 3.
Summary: In which the princess kicks the ass and saves the day.
Notes: This fic is extraordinarily late. I got passed along a tennisfic several months ago and it almost died in my hands. I’d meant for Here Be Dragons to be my offering, but it ended up a little too serious and shippy, and also way too long with several chapters to go.

The first fic was
greenconverses ' still excellent Five Kisses John or Teyla Don't Remember (And One They Do). I loved the fourth part, with elements of fairy tale and heroes on a quest.

I have internet!

  • Nov. 30th, 2007 at 12:49 AM

I've finally got internet installed in my apartment so I can return to the ranks of LJ and startposting again. Luckily I have been writing and have two fics ready. Especially the long-awaited (let's just say I'm really late with that one) tennisfic. It's done, just needs a little tweaking. Not tomorrow, probably saturday or sunday. 

In the mean time, I have a little Ronon fic. Ronon/Elizabeth pairing with Ronon/Teyla friendship and implied John/Teyla. I got into Ronon/Elizabeth after Lifeline and did one fic to see how I liked it. 

I still have comments to answer and will definitely get back to that. Just wanted to say hi!   

[info]2bluaeryn( Hey! Thanks for sometimes being the only one to read this journal...)
[info]purple_cube  ( Hi! I saw your post, I'll be in touch shortly! And gorgeous dress! )

And in the mean time seems my account is no longer paid. *sighs* Thank God tomorrow is payday.
