So, wow, it's been ages since I last posted here! I've been around, just not as much as I used to because of - suprise, surprise - RL.

I've been trying to keep up with all things SGA, since I still love that show dearly, but I will admit to having dabbled in a couple of other fandoms as well. Right now though, developments in RL are rather...disturbing and this usually means that I need to watch a show/dabble in a fandom that's relatively new to me to keep my mind off things. My brother leant me his dvd-collection of Star Trek: Voyager and though I watched the show once years ago already, I still found myself getting reeled in again - by Tom Paris, especially ;o).

So, given my love for H/C, I was wondering if anyone on my f-list has any well-written Tom Paris-whump fics they'd be willing to rec? I've been trying to find them on my own, but since Voyager has (or used to have) such a massive fandom, I'm having a lot of trouble wading through the mud, as it were, to find the kind of stories I like. So if anyone knows of any good Tom Paris-whump fic out there (preferably gen, but I don't mind slash, and any rating is fine), and they'd be willing to rec them, I'd be very, very grateful :o)

To yourself, respect.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYONE!

I watched Continuum again the other day, and something struck me.

 

( Continuum musings )

Snurched from just about everyone.

Well. This does sound a heck of a lot like me. What an amazing test!

The other day I was thinking about what I'd like to see in future SGA movies (aside from major Shep whump, obviously) and to my own surprise my thoughts led me to a crossover movie with SG-1. Don't get me wrong, I want the SGA movies to be about the SGA characters, not about SG-1, but I was thinking if they were to do a major crossover movie aside from the respective SGA and SG-1 movies, I'd be all for it.

I mean, I know that's probably never gonna happen, since the salaries of all these major players combined are gonna be through the roof, but I'd love to see this huge action-adventure spectacle in which Earth is in such terrible danger that both the Atlantis team and SG-1 are called upon to save the day. I can just see this awesome scene with the eight of them back-to-back, guns blazing, with Sheppard coming up with a brilliant, if rather rash, plan, Cam agreeing with it almost immediately, and Rodney and Sam feverishly trying to figure out how to make it work. I would love to see the eight of them together like that, fighting for their lives, for each other and for mankind. (yes, I do have a sense for the overly dramatic sometimes).

But like I said, it's never gonna happen and if I had to choose between getting an SGA movie or a crossover with SG-1, I would go for an SGA movie, no question. It's just fun to think about what-ifs ;o)

Drawn to this test 'cause of the pretty pictures! Snerched from wraithfodder.

As some of you may know, I'm a total H/C junkie and I know you'll never find as much H/C in books as you do in fanfiction, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any non-Stargate related books that contain H/C. See, I've gotten it into my head I should read a little bit less ff and slightly more 'real' books, so I can impress people when we're having a book discussion ;o) It wouldn't do to only be able to sum up fanfic titles if anyone asked me what books I've read recently ;o)

So can anyone rec me any books that contain H/C? I would prefer a male protagonist, but if there's H/C, I won't mind it terribly much if it's a female protagonist.

Thanks! :o)

 

Wow, it's been a while since I last posted on here, and I've been remiss in commenting on recent SGA S4 episodes both on GW and here. So I've decided, as a sort of late New Year's resolution to post more often (yeah, I wonder how long that's gonna last, too...no, no, mustn't think like that!), and what better to write about than SGA? *grins*

 

I've really been enjoying S4; I really think both TPTB have stepped up their writing, because a lot of it has been so awesome! Especially the character moments and the teamyness this year have blown me away.

 

So anyway, I thought I'd share some of my thoughts on a couple of recent eps, starting from Spoils of War onwards. I know I won't be saying anything new or interesting that hasn't already been said about these eps as I'm extremely late doing this, but I like to get some of my thoughs on paper (virtual or otherwise) for myself. So starting with Spoils of War, discussions will be under the cut, just in case!

 

( Spoils of War )

 

So. Awesome episode! *blinks* Wow, I had more to say about this ep than I thought!

Quarantine

( Quarantine )

 

So, not bad, I certainly enjoyed it, but it could've been done a little better.

 

( Harmony )

 

So, loved the McShep and the banter (I just adore those two spending time together, and I'm not even that much into slash), Harmony was a little bit annoying and the ep could've been done slightly more realistic. But overall, a good filler episode :o)

 

( Outcast )

 

So yeah, awesome, awesome ep. One of my favourites this season and definitely one I'll be watching over and over!    

 

Whew! *wipes sweat off brow* I think that's about enough for one day! Gotta give my fingers a break from typing by watching an SGA ep... Guess which one I'll be watching? ;o

 

ETA: this damn LJ-cut is driving me crazy; I've been tinkering with it all day, but I just can't get it to work properly! *grumbles* So please forgive the poor format, linking and such. 

Yeah, it's been a while. When RL hits, it hits hard, and it made me turn away from all my fandoms for a while. That's not to say I haven't been around; I just haven't been active. I've kinda fallen back into my old lurking behavior, and it'll probably take a little while longer before I dare go out and interact with everyone again! But I suppose this post is the first step to recovery :o) Plus, SGA season 4 will be on in only 19 days! I'll bet that'll get me going again :o)

And now for this quiz I snurched from Ali:



Well, it coulda been worse, I suppose! ;o)

Yup, I'm still alive! Uni's finally over and done with, until September, anyway. Unfortunately, I'm going on vacation tomorrow for 2,5 weeks, so I won't have much time to catch up on anything at all! I've got so many fics to read, so many Atlantis eps to watch, and I'm so gonna miss checking out JM's blog every morning! Plus, I won't be able to hang out with the GW whumpers for almost 3 weeks! I don't know how I'm gonna survive... Can you tell I'm addicted? ;o)

So anyway, I'm leaving tomorrow morning (going to Thailand), and won't be back until the 25th. Man, I will have so much to catch up on! I'm sure I'm gonna miss all the S4 spoilers, new fics and new S4 promo vids *cries*. Okay, yeah, I sound like a spoiled brat, I admit it. :o)

Right, be good everybody and see you in a few weeks!

Oh! And I almost forgot: quiz results!

Yeah, I know, I got a little carried away doing these these quizzes ;o)
