raw particles of inspiration

- Thank you tarlanx for the blue spider! Happy Halloween!

- We had our first autumn concert last night and it went surprisingly well considering it was a Friday evening, the entire choir was exhausted, and we sang in an unfamiliar church with slightly weird acoustics. The second concert is on Sunday and will hopefully be even better.

- Today, I'm heading up to Leksand and the NaNoWriMo kick-off. BIG YAY! There's a fair amount of WriMos a little closer to home this year and it's good not to have to go to Stockholm to participate in events and write-ins. Not that I don't like the WriMos from the royal capital, but train travel is extremely expensive these days and the city itself makes me stressed out and unhappy. So today, I'm going to a tiny Dalecarlian town I haven't visited in ten years to meet a group of very nice people in their library. DOUBLE BIG YAY!

Speaking of NaNo - what would you rather read? A superhero coming-of-age story or a superhero/ex-supervillain gay romance? As usual, I have two plot ideas for November and I just can't decide.

sheppard_hc wordcount: 8k. It even has a title now!

Thank you mesmorizee and tarlanx for the chocolatey goodness!

Snagged from mesmorizee:

The first five people to comment in this post get to request that I write a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing.

In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. (The last part is optional but fun!)

I'll write for: H50, SGA, Merlin, A-team, SPN (no Wincest please), Nu!Trek.

But really, just ask. If I've seen enough of it, chances are I'll give it a shot. I reserve the right to interpret all prompts to my liking :)

Quick question - has Steve ever been referred to as 'princess' in canon or is that a fanon thing?


I seem to have roughly four thousand words of something that started out as a cute fluffy Danny-moves-in ficlet and then grew plot and angst and probably needs another couple of thousand words before it can be described as a story. Feelings are very complicated, apparently.


And just because I can:

"Babe, I know that you think you're Superman, and I hate to break this to you, but you're not actually capable of unpowered flight, okay? Please stop flapping your arms, you're embarrassing me. You can leave the shirt off, by the way."

Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes and gifts! I promise I will thank you all in person when I feel a little less like a wrung-out dishrag. Until then - big blanket hug for everyone!

I have a lovely puppy on my profile page. Thank you kensieg!

Dear smart people on my f-list!
When writing a story set in Victorian London in the late 19:th century, where is one most likely to fail in regards to gender/class/race/etc? I have a ton of research to do for this thing and I need somewhere to start.

Also - resources?

Christmas day and much turkey has been eaten. I've been spending the holidays with my family, doing absolutely nothing.

As for John and Rodney in the Entangled Particles 'verse, well, it's Christmas where they are too. Here's a little gift to you, almighty f-list. Thank you for the way you enrich my life. I hope you're all having a nice, calm, stress-free couple of days, whether you celebrate Christmas or not, and I hope that you get to spend them with people you love.

Thank you lavvyan, anyanka_eg and rejeneration! Now I feel like baking cookies...

Edit: And vida_boheme and liresius!

My old ancient self thanks everyone for birthday wishes and gifts! *hands out chocolate pie and hugs*

Oh, and I got pretties!

bluespirit_star made a dust cover for Entangled Particles that stunned me with the handsome.

the_cephalopod wrote Worthwhile, a Ronon POV fic that's beautiful and insightful and just perfect *happy sigh*

Thank you all so much!
