Kym's fault, Foe's fault, whatever.

Kym's fault: because I'm being nice and waiting until she's gone from work.
Foe's fault: because I'm watching Bab5 as it dubs, and he knew which episode was on, and, stuff.

Shortfunfic: untitled.
Rating: PG/13
Pairing: Elizabeth Weir/Garibaldi
Shows: Stargate: Atlantis/Babylon 5
Not. Mine.

naming conventions of sgwun

Mess hall. Cafeteria. The commissary is the general store. Shai is already perfectly willing to smack me upside the head if I mix them up (mainly due to Red Cap's fault). But it's fucking irritating to see it in stories.

Jan. No, just, NO, people. No one calls Janet 'Jan'. Please stop making me growl on her behalf. She's small enough already, y'know.

(I've ranted on this one before) Calling Sam 'Sammie'. STOP IT. Jacob has canonically called her Sammie ONCE. And she gave him the "if I weren't afraid you were dying and needed this symbiote, I would SO KILL YOU" look. So stop it already.

On the other hand, I don't care WHAT canon has said. Jack's full name is not 'John' or 'Johnathan' (or any spelling variation). It's Jack. Just. Jack. So, just to make things clear, if I ever post a story where he's called Jonathan, you will know I'm a pod person.

Unless he's in a hurry, and all of his words are slurred together, Teal'c is not calling people one-word names. He's calling them by their given name/name of respect. "Colonel Carter", "Daniel Jackson", "General Hammond". So quit running the names into one glommed word, for frak's sake.

(In X-Men, btw, only Jean is allowed to call Nate "Nathan Christopher Charles Summers Dayspring Askani'Son!" and only when he's being a brat. Although Dom might do it for shits and giggles. And Chuckles is, well, god knows what Chuckles will do.)

SG-1: silly, How to Make a Start

Disclaimer: Not mine. Rating: PG. Set: Pre-Reckoning. Spoilers: Er. Gemini, New Order.
Notes: Totally RowanD's fault. (incidentally, the title is from Garbage's 'The Trick is to Keep Breathing', the next line is 'everything's about to fall apart'.
Warnings: Character death, inappropriate humor, emus.
Pairings: Er... Sam/Pete, vague Sam/Jack
I make no claims to liking or disliking Pete.

Rewatched the Battlestar Galactica mini...

And while they were obviously trying to plan for long term, there are... still bits that make me go, "um, mis-match between mini and season one, guys." But *shrug* whatever.

In the meantime, can I *please* have a Kara Thrace of my very own?

And, two random drabbles.

...wow...

Note to self: either you have serious issues, or the Battlestar mini commentary sounds really fucking pretentious.

Seriously. I know the Farscape guys did a lot of, "Aren't we cool?" type dialogue, but, but... They did it in a cute, "We are SUCH GEEKS" way. Whereas, I feel like I'm being talked down to, listening to this commentary (I didn't make it past the first set of credits...).

*paraphrases* "And so, we're the only space show to be realistic." (actually, they used much more high-falutin' dialogue. I think I needed a dictionary).

Yeah. While you've got your nose in the air, could you tell me if it's raining acid? Kthnx.

Erm, in other news, I need to go kick dinner.

erm. Need to ramble later

About Six, Baltar, and stuff from the mini. Instead, I have another drabble. Six, this time. Spoilers through Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down.

baaa.

omfg. Meyer is evil, and came up with this idea (and thus, you lucky lucky people are about to be subjected to the first fic I started writing, which, sadly, doesn't exist in its original form complete with sobbing scene

A modest meme proposal
I think there should be a meme where you post the piece of fic you are most horrified by/ambivalent about.

And, so, gentle people, I give to you, the original cut of Chapter One of The Slayer, the Cat, and Some Wisdom (which eventually be overhauled, just so I can post it and feel happy).

ETA: omfg. I'd forgotten my obsession with 'vamps' instead of 'vampires'... Oh, the PAIN.
