THE ROAD TO BETTER HEALTH BEGINS WITH A SINGLE STEP: STOP EATING MSG

John/Todd ficlet by

Misc McShep fic by

darkhavens - a lot of really good short stories in there that pack quite a punch.

nanuk_dain's fantastic Ronon/Lorne manips

stereowire draws SGA a lot. And I do realize that this art is pre 2008 and I'm sure you've all seen it already. BUT JUST IN CASE.

( rambling )

ETA: Sneaky Surprise NCIS rec!
That's Not My Name by faemouse is a hot story that completely satisfies my desire for pre-series Gibbs/DiNozzo non-casefic. As in, these two guys are so attracted to each other that it doesn't take a twenty-chapter internal-feelings-analyzing-fest to get them together.

Posted my entry over on

satedan_grabass today! Clicking the image below will take you to the entry. Making this thing has made me quite happy... it was just really good, I think, to express my creativity like this.

Speaking of creativity... still need to do my 20k word story in, like, a frighteningly short amount of time. I probably will continue to do this journal hiatus thingie for the most part while I am doing that. Which makes me feel a bit sad, because I feel disconnected and a bit neglectful. But I think it will be the right thing? (Again, the offer is still open to please let me know if I can be of any help anywhere.)

Finally and most importantly, I wanted to say thank you to everyone for the hugs. I definitely felt better after them and I continue to feel better. I think things hit me really hard at the time and they have not stuck with me as I thought they would, so that's really awesome. Thank you all so much for the support - I really, really appreciated it <3<3 (Plus, that night I was able to shift my focus to making a graphic of Rodney as suggested, which took my mind off of things and provided me with a new journal header! I had been wanting a new journal header - had tried to make a couple of others but they didn't seem right... and this one makes me very happy. It's meaningful to me... even gave me a new journal subtitle.)

I love you all, I hope you are all doing well.. and thank you for being a part of my life!

Thank you very much to the anonymous balloonist! They are very pretty and colorful. :-D

Freya from Thoughtcrimes walks into a bar and meets Jonas Quinn!? **
(Oops for not realizing my assignment was in a reply there and kind of forgetting about it until today! Yay for having still plenty of time and also for awesome characters because dude I have been wanting to write something Jonasey!)

Some things I personally need to be convinced of in fics. Rodney being a hypochondriac is one of them. And I don't mind PWPs but they don't work for me as well when the pairing isn't one I would have ever though of in a million years.

Ahhh I have too much to do and all the time in the world and no energy. I haven't been keeping up with my flist and I feel as though I am missing significant portions of the particular portion of fandom I tend to look at on a daily basis. *flails about randomly like a flailey thing*

New comm promo: Colby from Numb3rs and Lorne from Stargate!

colby_lorne

Work on my Summer of Stargate story is progressing! I hope I can get either a microphone or a thing where I can hook up my computer to the TV soon because I think that will increase my pace even more. But even if my pace right now is not terribly fast, it is steady, and I am pleased with myself for that. (For those who haven't heard me talk about it yet: Signups are still open! Cheerleaders needed especially.)

** I DO NOT EVEN KNOW HOW THIS CAN END WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN HOT, HOT SEX AND THE DECLASSIFICATION OF THE STARGATE PROGRAM

Who wants to co-mod a Flan community with me?

SGA authors come up with some freaking fantastic sentences about Sheppard's hair, and a one-a-day (probably less frequent but still regular) quote thing must be an interesting idea to more people than just me, right?

... Right?

Or, I could be insane. *cough*

But really, I would be up for it.

AND SPEAKING OF INSANE:

How are Sean Maher and Matthew Bomer not long lost brothers?

ALSO:

What is the difference between a crossover and a fusion? I have a vague idea but am not really sure.

a meme from everywhere:

Today has been declared lurker amnesty day! Have you read me but never commented? Do you surf by occasionally? Here for the fic? Say hello! You are under no obligation to ever comment or delurk again, but here's a chance to do so in a post just for that.

( JAMES MARSTERS! )

By which I mean, I am happy! (Please assume this is a jumper ride sans Wraith attack or nuclear warheads. :) ) Because I have discovered that I have paid account time!

Look at my shiny new icon! I have 14 more new ones too! *jumps in glee* I am happy and exclamatory! And I cannot even tell you how much I'm going to appreciate some of the extra features, oh my goodness.

This happened randomly! And I am pretty sure there's nothing I'm forgetting that I'm supposed to know, but when I'm this sleepy I always feel like I'm prone to being randomly forgetful. It's helped by the fact that I'm checking lj and emails and stuff trying to figure out who this is from and it's not telling me, but I'm pretty sure as far as lj's concerned it's supposed to be a mystery. So:

Hello random person! Thank you thank you thank you! I am a very happy me right now :-D :-D

OH my goodness I have to make approximately five BILLION ICONS IN THE NEXT TWO DAYS ahhhhh *flail flail*

I think I'd be a little (just a little) less freaked if I hadn't downloaded all the pics for the episode that I chose for one of the contests, only to, uhm, somehow lose the pics. I just hate the idea of doing work over, you know?

And because I doubt you all care about that (I do feel better after ranting a bit though! :-) ), here are a few pictures that you will probably care about more :-)

( Pretty! )

Feel free to share other pics if you want to! Or you can rant a little yourself about something, and I will provide a listening ear.

Not, as I was about to type, a listening shoulder. 'Cause that's just weird.

I submitted headers and matching banners to

comment_fic . I think I need to go back and put text on the headers though - waiting on feedback from the person I sent them to. If you want to see them, they are here! Oh my goodness. Not Stargate in any way shape or form? I know. I have surprised myself. But I had an urge to do something with those pretty pretty promo pics.... I did a couple of things that I don't do very often, and I'm really proud of how they all turned out.

ETA: Here are the updated versions.

Little not-obsessive!Rodney fic! I thought it was kinda cute. But maybe it needs some sort of sequel?

On a comment_fic-related note:

As it's gotten to the end of the year, I am planning on making an archive list of everything I've done (fics / icons / manips etc). A lot of these things have only been posted on other journals/communities. I have links in my memories, but when I make the list I am almost certainly going to make new posts of them on this journal. Would it bother people if that showed up like normal entries? I don't want to spam anybody's flist or anything. If it's a problem, do you have a suggestion? Because I think there's a way to make entries not show up on flists, by doing something with the dating, but I'm not entirely sure what that's about.

Also. As of right now I only have written two entries for

comment_fic but I am assuming I'll write more. After the end of the year I may be up to the task of reposting everything in this journal as I go. How prolific would I have to be with that community in order for it to be annoying to post each fic in a separate entry here?

If I don't get any feedback on this I'll assume I can just post away, so feel free to let me know if you have any specific concerns. :-)

I am like 99% ready to post. It's just. Sometimes LJ/html coding is not the easiest thing in the world to deal with if you're always dead tired. And if, perhaps, you were pasting things into a private entry to test the coding, and you went to edit something and somehow LJ took away all your paragraph returns? There might be some doubt concerning the wisdom of continuing at that particular time.

I have things posted in a google doc, so I didn't have to go re-do the spaces. And I'm pretty sure I'd be fine if I posted tonight. But I think that I just want to get some sleep so that I'll be just normal tired instead of dead tired when I post. Which, since it's slower, I think, at this time of night/morning anyway, really probably won't matter to most people.

But! You, uh, get to look at the icon? Which is made from the cover art that I made for the story. The cover art itself is, in my opinion, not as visually impressive, but it is more, uh, allegorical. Or metaphorical. Uhhh. JFlan's pretty?

Yeah. I'm going with that.

And speaking of going, I am going to bed now, and I am very happy and I love you all. *loves*

More cookies, and a hot chocolate from

mezzo_cammin :-) In honor of this I am going to make cookies and hot chocolate today, and I will enjoy them happily while thinking of kind lj-people.
