...I should make a list of "Things I Have Learned From Fandom That Are Going Into My Novel." The fact that it would include "The most depressing ending ever is the one where one half of a pairing dies and the other half goes back to Earth and teaches college" says so much about SGA fandom as a whole. No, really.

limmenel, you're suddenly in a tizzy wondering which of my babies is dying, aren't you?

See, and I'm a little surprised about this, but writing the I-Search paper actually did help me figure a few things out about my novel -- important things. Like the sociopolitical underpinnings, which I was aware of, but was hoping to just, you know, avoid. But if I actually look at them as important to the theme -- and holy God, are they ever -- then I have figured out the goddamn plot which hid for me for the past year. And it makes me alternately depressed and gleeful, because most depressing yet most perfect ending ever. I mean, it has to end this way. It just has to. (limmenel, you're going to kill me a lot.)

I AM TOTALLY IN A TIZZY.

Omg, how am I supposed to sleep tonight?


(also, I read the fic. OVER AND OVER AGAIN. And I have a long, incoherent review that's half-typed, and basically boils down to OMFG GLEE GLEE GLEE KEYSMASH and eventually I'll get around to finishing it without having to go re-read the fic for the millionth time.)

Also, I only JUST got the McAullife reference in your Spaceforce novel. I'm lame, seriously, but I had no idea who she was named after until tonight.
