beyond the wide world's end

First! Three-sentence-fic:

( Narnia, SGA )

And commentfic from the other day.

ETA: Edited to include cut tags for each story, mostly because I need to be able to link.

( snowmen for almostinstinct )

( Susan teaching someone else to shoot for westingturtle )

( Tirian getting in trouble as a teen for snacky )

( Edmund, later Golden Age, swords, hammocks, and tarantulas for katokokk )

( Edmund and knives, being snarky and sneakingly clever somewhere outside of Narnia for caramelsilver )

( Peter and his RAF team for be_themoon )

( Mayor, mud, and mayhem for juliekarasik )

I did my job shadow for FCI today, up at Central...with the AFROTC Detachment, there. Which mostly involved me following around various cadre members and soaking up information and sadly coming to the conclusion that I could not phrase various research questions in such a way that they would actually make sense outside of context, but also involved me talking to cadets.

Cadet 1: So, why are you interested in the Air Force?
Me: Oh...you know, actually, probably judicious watching of Stargate.
Cadet 2: I LOVE Stargate! I totally want to get into deep space radar telemetry! *goofy grin*
Me: *dies*

Cadet 3: So, do you know Stargate?
Me: Yes.
Cadet 3: Daniel Jackson is totally my hero. It's probably the reason I'm a language major. I'm also learning Dutch.
Me: *dies again*

You know, I wonder how many people the Air Force has actually recruited by use of Stargate. Because, seriously...now that would be interesting.

I keep reading really good Stargate genderfuck, like Joan Sheppard and Cammie Mitchell and Dani Jackson and Jane Sheppard, which is probably what resulted in Ani Skywalker, but for some reason has me thinking of CSI:NY genderfuck. Like girl!Mac. Who'd still go by Mac, but would be -- scarier, maybe. And Stella holds girls nights out. Girl!Mac -- not as good an impression as my two favorite characters.

Such as, of course, Dani Messer and Donna Flack. Well, not Dani Messer and Donna Flack together, but you know what I mean. Donna Flack -- hella scary, because she snaps her gum and bats her eyes and flips her hair and flashes her gun and her badge and her cleavage all at once and keeps tackling people who think it'll be easy to run from a chick. And, you know, she's tall and kind of lanky, so she tends to loom over people.

And Dani Messer! Who's snarky but who tends to shrink into the background -- and she bites her nails. *nods firmly* And tends to get underestimated. And who was Sonny Sassone's girlfriend, back in the day, and Louie was dangerously overprotective of her and Dani had a rebellious phase in which Sonny was the culmination. And when she sees Sonny again (do Danny and Sonny meet in "Run Silent, Run Deep"), she shocks everyone by socking him in the jaw. (Also, if Bardverse Danny was Dani: two words: Mafia princess. Can you imagine?)

( Cut for original fic rambling along the same lines. )

God, SGA really does have the best artists ever. GUH.

Also, I wrote, like, five pages of pure fluff for my novel. I think I need to go write something less fluffy now. *haunted*

(using my sg-1 icon in lieu of having an sga one. oh, lj.)

Okay, so a while back there was 38 Kisses. And then there was 38 Kisses: The Podfic. And after that there was another John/Rodney kissing fest thing in someone's comments -- not the original poster's -- and there was one ficlet that I really liked, but I cannot find the second set of John/Rodney kisses. And I think I may have linked limmenel to it, but I don't remember for sure, and it would have been in summer sometime, which yeah, narrows it down a lot. And I'm desperate here, y'all. Whoever finds it for me gets a ficlet of their choice.

Pretty please?

ETA: Oh, wait, never mind, I found it. Gee, smart, Bedlam.

Um, does anyone want fic anyway? While I, um, don't work on my novel?

Snagged from traveller: When you see this, post a little weensy excerpt from as many random works-in-progress as you can find lying around. Who knows? Maybe inspiration will burst forth and do something, um, inspiration-y.

( This could take a while. I think the folder I was writing in before I went to Brown is upstairs. Also, by WIP, I mean anything that has words and a plot-like-thing. Also note that a lot of these have shown up here before. *cough* )

Also, after seeing "Born Under a Bad Sign", I reiterate: Sam and Dean are so totally Anakin and Obi-Wan. They've even got the murderous rage blackouts and the inability to kill each other!

So the college fair was today and I went, obviously, and talked to a lot of schools that I was interested in: Davidson College (NC), Embry-Riddle Aeronautical College (FL and AZ), the Air Force Academy about AFROTC, Scripps College (CA), Wellesley College (MA), and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (dude, if you need me to tell you what state that's in...). I didn't get to talk to a couple of schools I'm interested in -- Stanford University, Dickinson College, and Duke University -- but I don't mind particularly. It was interesting.

I have a lot of journal entries because I've had two days where class starts at eleven, so I get, like, an extra hour and a half of writing.

Also, Natalie Babbitt (author of Tuck Everlasting, among other things) came to talk to us today. Suddenly I love Brown, and I've never even read any of her books.

Also, I got my AP scores back! U.S. History: 4. Calculus AB: 4 (amazing! I thought I'd get, like, a 2, especially considering all the crap that went down during the test). English Language and Composition: 5. YAY.

Guys, this one came to me in a dream. I'm not even kidding. Thus Sam Carter and the bird, which, oh my God, WTF.

Happy Fourth of July, y'all!
