Hell, let's make this a meme.

~ For stargate_summer, I am working on SPACE PIRATES another action/adventurey thing, with a J/D first time subplot. SG-1 is trapped in a solar system without an active 'gate, and must follow clues in the folklore of the system's planet-hopping pirates if they want to find the 'gate and get home. Plus, there's swashbuckling, Sam in drag, and Teal'c being the BAMF we know he is. :D

~ In May, jd_ficathon will be launching a short and sweet prompt-a-thon. Keep an eye out for it.

~ I am still working on the final two stories of Acta Est Fabula, but I have to be in a certain mood for that, since it's dark and sad and makes me cry.

~ I still intend to finish An Apple a Day, but since my brother's gone away to college, I don't watch cartoons anymore. If I thought anyone would actually read it, I'd do some research and finish the damned thing.

~ I have about 430 words of a "Meridian"-fixit based on Tam Lin (I have an unnatural affection for that story), but I'm not entirely sure how to get from the scene I wrote to the climax of the plot, so I'm ignoring that one.

~ Also have about 500 words of a jd_ficathon fic that I started and then changed directions, which plays on the idea that Daniel gained weight while he was trapped on Tegalus. I think all it needs is some sex, but I haven't looked at it in a while.

~ Then there's "Shape of His Heart", the poker player AU, which I can't write until I a) learn how to play poker and b) learn how to cheat at poker.

~ And then, of course, there is the Jealous of Your Cigarette novel-length sequel that my muse has been clamoring for that I have no idea how to go about writing.

There's some other stuff, too, but nothing I'm likely to work on anytime soon.

Observations: I seem to be shifting toward longer fic, at least in the Stargate fandom. Most of my existing fic is less than 5,000 words; almost everything on this list is either going to be novel or novella length, or standalone-ish chapters of larger works. Hmm.

I don't usually post WsIP, but I wanted to get this one in before the end of the year. Something a little spooky to end the year on. :D

I have the rest of this basically planned out, but I just have to sort out the details and write it down.

written for lgbtfest

prompt 3206. Stargate: SG-1, Jack/Daniel and Sam/Janet and Sam/Daniel, Aliens Made Them Do It: Daniel and Sam are doing alright after having to participate in an alien sex ritual. It's their partners that aren't coping too well with the fact that they've had 'straight' sex.

You can find some of my original thoughts on writing this fic here.

Cilantro Lime Rice
3 cups of hot cooked long-grain rice
2 small limes (or 1 large lime), juiced and zested
1/2 cup of chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon salt

Fluff cooked rice with a fork. Add lime juice, zest, cilantro, and salt, and mix until combined evenly. Serve warm, plain or with Mexican-seasoned meat or veggies.

So, I think this is officially my first piece of femmeslash. Go me.

Finished my help_haiti fic, with the wonderful help of princessofg. You can find it here:

Someone to Watch Over Me | PG | 1809 words | complete

Moderately productive day, if only because I got a bunch of things in motion but they're not done yet. Also managed to have three vials of blood drawn with minimal freaking out (have I mentioned I'm not good with needles?), so that's useful, too.

Though, waking up mid-panic attack this morning was an experience I never wish to repeat. *shudders*

Posted a quick Jack/Daniel commentfic yesterday, for jdjunkie's hot/cold 'thon:

Warm Up Nicely | PG-13 | 279 words | complete

Comments collecting over there (you can log in with OpenID if you have and eljay, or you can comment anon), though I'll be archiving it at writers_island at some point.

Two sets of ficlets here, from an assortment of fandoms:

The first two are from blanketforts prompts, from way back in January 2006. I've only got three more to go; I'm optimistic I can finish them off:

Frozen | Day 27 | G | 176 words
Literary | Day 28 | G | 202 words

The rest are linked at the top of each post.

The second set is from a project I started a year and a half ago. I was writing a piece of original fiction, and I was concerned that I'd forgotten how to write female characters (what with all the slash I write... :P). So, I sat down to write ten drabbles, inspired by songs from the Vagina Monologues cast music list from that year. I finished four over the next month or so and then stalled out completely. Here are the ones I've finished so far:

Raspberry Swirl | G | 100 words | complete
Stargate SG-1, Vala(/Daniel)
Both Hands | G | 100 words | complete
Stargate SG-1, Sha're(/Daniel)
Perfect | G | 100 words | complete
Firefly/Serenity, Inara
This Girl is Taking Bets | G | 100 words | complete
Doctor Who, Rose(/Ten)

Yes, I wrote het. Yes, I wrote Daniel/Vala. I'm a pod person.

Actually, I've got some serious meta brewing about the way I see het. Expect that sometime this weekend.

Finally remembered to repost my remixredux09 to my journal, so I thought I'd share:

I won the battle with photobucket, so here's my picfor1000 fic for this year:
