Hi f-list! I just want to pimp Script Frenzy - NaNo's sister challenge. Write 100 pages of original scripted material in the 30 days of April! (Screenplays, stage plays, TV shows, short films, and graphic novels are all welcome.)

I measure out my challenges with a very small spoon this year so I won't participate, but if I was this would be the perfect opportunity to:

- Write that screenplay you've always wanted to write but never had time for.
- Write your own SGA-movie. (TPTB certainly won't...)
- Try out a new exciting medium.
- Have some fun.

I got the BEST sga_santa assignment and I'm going to write an awesome story!

Just saying...


Also going to Gävle tomorrow to meet up with a bunch of WriMos. We're going to drink far too much coffee and talk about our novels and I really don't have time for it but I can't resist.

I think one of the reasons I keep doing NaNo every year is the opportunity to meet other people like me, people who live in the real world instead of in my computer. (Not that you, almighty f-list don't exist in the real world. It's just, you live in your own worlds, far far away from me, and sometimes you give me a glimpse of those worlds and I'm so very happy for that, but you don't live in my world, the world I spend my time in when I'm not online.)

The thing is... sometimes I feel very lonely. I call it Writer's disease, this tendency to stand aside, observe people instead of interacting with them. Everything is a story and as a writer I must remain on the outside, tell the story instead of being a part of it. It might be time to take a little break and put the words aside for a while. Spend a month or two not being a writer and connect with the world again. Maybe I'll do that when I'm done with all these challenges.

Anyway! Tomorrow I'm going to meet other writers, other nerds, people who understand me. And I really look forward to the NaNo kick-off in Stockholm next weekend. How often do you get to spend an hour or two discussing slash with people who understand the concept and don't think you're a weirdo?

Okay, I'll stop rambling now. What I really meant to say is that NaNo is one of the best things that's ever happened to me, and that my sga_santa story will be awesome. Oh, and if any WriMos in the vincinity of Gävle reads this, we'll be meeting at the new Wayne's Coffee tomorrow, October 24;th, ten o'clock. Welcome!

Important things:

1. NaNoWriMo signups begins today! Or will begin as soon as they have the site up and running again. Why does it have to take so looooong? *whines* And yep, I'll be ML:ing this year too. Why do I keep doing this to myself?

2. sga_santa signups have also begun. Again - why do I keep doing this to myself? At least I won't have to write a +50k santa story.

3. I wish this not-quite-cold I've had for the past three weeks could either turn into a real cold so I could get over it, or disappear altogether.

ETA: The site is up! November, here I come!

Title: Two Weeks
Author: Zinnith
Pairing: John/Rodney
Rating: NC-17
Wordcount: ~2500
Warnings: Unbeta'd PWP
Disclaimer: Nope, still not mine.

Notes: So, here's that porn I said I'd write to celebrate 40k on the sgabigbang story. This is for the_cephalopod who wanted to read about John and Rodney getting all hot and bothered during a meeting... and then *finally* getting together afterwards. Look, I didn't forget!

This is porn, pure and simple.

Summary: He's been on Earth for two weeks and only arrived back today.

Title: Yours For the Asking
Author: Zinnith
Pairing: Kirk/McCoy
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: ~6500
Warnings: Rated for language, blood, off-screen violence, non-explicit sex
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Also, I'm a writer, not a doctor.

Notes: My extremely late entry for the Kirk/McCoy challenge. I picked the prompt: 01. McCoy gets hurt on-planet and Kirk has to follow his instructions to save him. Pretty much just self-indulgent h/c with a little angst on the side. Many thanks to sgamadison for the beta and for being a generally awesome person!

Summary: Jim should have paid more attention during his first aid classes.

Today has been kind of sucky. I'm home from work with a not-quite-cold that has me completely worn out. I've been shuffling between the bed and the sofa all day. No fun at all :(

So, what better way to spend a sick day than writing porn? This is for velvetmagras who wanted McShep with Jealous/Possessive!John, fisting and Bottom!Rodney. This is short and turned out a little... I don't know. I hope you'll like it!

586 words.

This is the first porn prompt, for busaikko who wanted:Sex toys, one eager to try something new out and one needing to be convinced, bonus if the experience is not unequivocal bliss (I might have this awkward!sex kink). And/or double penetration? I think I managed to get it all.

John/Rodney. ~3400 words. Unbeta'd. Extremely NC-17. Pretty much just smut with very little plot.
