Veni, Vedi, Squeedi

So, lately there has been some rumblings over the next X-Files movie by David Duchovny. Now, DD has done this repeatedly in the past and nothing ever comes out of it. But he's at it again and seems to be confident that the next X-Files movie may just be around the corner.

But this time he's not alone in his assertion. Gillian Anderson has also chimed in and believes that this time it could become a reality.

News on both DD and GA can be found here: X-Files rumblings

As for SG-1, it's no secret I have much love for all the characters. Well, mainly the original cast, though I enjoy the new cast, too. Just a preference of mine. But lately, man, I've encountered much Daniel hate. Mind you, in the past, I've encountered Sam hate and Jack hate and hate for other characters, but lately I've seen much love for them. But where's the Daniel love? *hugs him* I feel very alone in my Daniel love.

So yesterday, I went off in linnet_101's journal about how there should be wild safari rides for the Batsh*t Insane Country of the SG-1 Fandom.

What do you know? There ARE Safari rides!

So why don't you come along with me for some fun?

Okay, so, I'm still waiting for Leonard Nimoy's In Search Of for Gen Fic!!!!

And I also think the time is right for me to break out Sims!SG-1 again.

Thor's Chariot is on. *sigh* Classic SG-1 is so awesome. One of the best team eps ever.

Okay, so here's the next S6 ep I've watched.

( My Thoughts on Memento )

Now, all I have left is Prophecy! (And then stop avoiding Prodigy in S4...ugh, Hailey.)

Hmmm...mud mask. I went girly and gave myself a lavender mud mask this morning. Now I'm sleepy. But I smell pretty. Not that I am going to do anything today but be fannish and write, but hey, I smell pretty! Lavender is one of the few flowery smells that doesn't send me into a fit of sniffles and sneezes.

Fannish Things To Do

*I am going to organize and cut more icons, I think. I noticed a recent lack of Daniel in my icons and that is very bad. Need Daniel back. But I want to even it out so I have plenty of Daniel, Jack, Sam and Teal'c. I also am in need of Cam. And some pairing icons that I can smile over whether I feel fandom shippy or my regular old gen friendshippy self. Then, I'll look at my other non-SG1 icons and organize those too. I really need to make an icon that captures just me.

*Maybe write. Don't know what. Maybe a little short fic. Maybe work on one of my longer fics. Don't know!!! *indecisive*

*Watch an episode of SG-1. Next is...Memento. Hmm. It better be good.

*Watch an episode of something else. Let's see...Mac, Farscape, or Smallville. Haven't decided yet.

Original Writing

Not that I think many people care on this point, which is fine, and this is more for my sake than anything else. While I have gotten absolutely nowhere with my short story I've been angsting over, I've made leaps and bounds with my novel. I'm jotting down backstory notes like crazy. Since I'm planning this as a trilogy -- ideally, anyway -- I want all the backstory straight so that the books flow well. No retcon or sloppiness. Again, ideally anyway. So I am very very pleased that it's clicking like you wouldn't believe. Also, the character profiles and backgrounds are just fitting so perfectly. Everyone has their big faults now and it works in the context of the greater story. Maybe I am so hung up on the short story because my subconscious is so focused on novel right now. And I'm much better at writing long stories than short ones. I'm so excited! This is always my fave part of the creative process.

Music always helps me write. I don't do the whole song!fic thing, but the power in music helps me set the mood. So, for my novels, they are set to music by Keane and Muse. *happy sigh*

So, my day will be a good one. I'll probably be on and off all day, so if anyone's bored give me a shout out and I'll pop on to chat.

Oh man. My asthma kicked in after being dormant for quite some time so I had to take my inhaler. (Good thing I had a new one ordered as a backup.) And goodness...my body is so not used to it. I'm jumpy and jittery and shaky. Usually, that only happens when I have had to have breathing treatments in the past, not with the inhaler.

I feel like I am going to jump out of my skin *creeps*

On the bright side, my latest SG-1 fanfic is in betaland/editting (thanks!) and an even greater accomplishment is that my very first horror short story has emerged from its final edit in tact :) Well, from my final edit. If it does get accepted, then I may have to toy with it again. But I'm proud of it. I still don't think it has a good shot of getting accepted since I'm not very good with short stories, but I keep trying anyway. Never thought I'd write a horror fic, though. So that's been submitted and now I just have to wait and see.

But no time to just sit back over finishing. Off to the next short story and the fanfic I use to escape in between :)

ETA: Yay, the betaing is done! I'll be posting the fic shortly. But right now, I am going to watch some Farscape. I may finish off S3. I just finished I Yensch, You Yensch and I'm about to start Into the Lion's Den: Lambs to the Slaughter. I'll post my thoughts later.

ETA 2: OMG! I love Harvey!

I just want to say welcome to the new people on my flist. I tend to jump back and forth between fannish talk and just regular life whining. My main topics always seem to revolve around SG-1 or writing in general. So if you want to see me chat it up, those are usually sure fire ways to have me go off ;)

Just like in my user info, I love all the characters. Some more than others, naturally. I'm a gen girl, but play in different ships in the fandom. And I'm open to people who ship pairings that don't do it for me.

I also tend to talk about Smallville and Farscape. I'm just getting in MacGyver. Star Wars will always be my first love. And there are various other things I enjoy but it would take me forever and a day to list them.

I also went through my flist and realized I hadn't friended some people that had friended me long ago. So I added you on. If I didn't add you, it's just because I didn't see any recent activity on your journal or I might have missed you.

Again, welcome. And if you're looking for more fans/friends for Stargate (and other fandoms) check out the Stargate Friending Meme going around :)

So, I didn't go to work tonight. I got there, they heard me, and sent me home.

Not complaining...

I did go ahead and watch some SG-1 tonight though. I've always liked The Fifth Man. And then I watched New Order. I love New Order. Daniel still annoys me in some scenes (as much as it pains me to say so) as does Jack (again it pains me to say so). But Sam and Teal'c were made of awesome.

And I think I am one of the few people that liked Fifth. And Weir was good in these eps.

Ah well. I had to relinquish the TV so I won't be watching Lockdown. It's okay. I've watched enough TV. I should go back to working on original fic. I'm letting the short story I wrote sit for a few days before I go back and edit it, but a writer's job is never done. I need to finish more.

*wishes she was watching The Shroud but is being good and waiting for April*

Again, you're all great with the no spoilers and the cuts :)

I know I shouldn't do this but...I can't help myself sometimes. I blame surrealphantast and rowan_d.

Give me one of my own stories, and a timestamp sometime in the future after the end of the story, or sometime in the past before the story started, and I'll write you at least a hundred words of what happened then, whether it's five minutes before the story started or ten years in the future.

Okay, I'll do my best. I don't expect many responses anyway. Just know that I'm a bit slow. I still owe other people some stuff, but I'll come through in the end. So if you do want to see something, feel free to leave a comment.

I'm limiting this to SG-1 since I haven't really written much in anything else.

My fic is all catalogued on the right column of my LJ. Or at least should be. You can always hit my website for everything, even the crappy fic.

My SG-1 Fanfic

ETA: Trying to think happy thoughts. Grad app deadlines are coming up and though I finished mine months ago, profs seems to have lost my letters of recommendation. Now I must send them out yet again. *freaks out*

1. I am offically staying out of the explosion over SGA/SG-1 casting and plot spoilers. I've reached a point where I cannot get involved in those debates anymore if I still want to enjoy myself. I don't even watch SGA anymore. But I want to enjoy SG-1 while it lasts. (It's too bad too because I actually like all the characters. I just like some more than others.)

2. I have not decided yet whether to watch SG-1 now or wait until April. Part of me wants to watch but another part of me wants to wait and continue my SG-1 vacation. And it makes the show last longer. I don't know. So torn. Tooooorn. But I appreciate how awesome you all have been and haven't spoiled me. Thanks *hugs*

3. I am still set on continuing to play in my little happy SG-1 online. You all with me? Or at least some of you? I still want to have fun after the show is gone. We can still write and joke and laugh...it's fun here on LJ. I need some people to have fun with me since I've sort of left 99% of the fandom behind. (Forums, lists, and groups how I miss you!)I feel like we can make our own fandom filled with sanity...mostly.

4. On a big Smallville kick again. Yes, indeed. I don't really consider myself part of the fandom though. I'm not so into the fandom thing anymore. But it's my angst-free show. It's just fun for me. I'd forgotten what it was like to watch a show just for fun. It's so very nice. I haven't abandoned SG-1 though. I'm just tired of the SG-1 fandom drama. And I'm missing Jack :(

5. I hope to watch some more Farscape soon. I'm getting closer to the end of Season 3. I hear The Choice is next and that it's a good Aeryn-angst episode. I like when CB is angsty.

6. I have some MacGyver to watch. Anyone interested in this newbie's thoughts on that show? I'll be posting my thoughts anyway. I need to get some RDA somehow...

7. In the next couple of months, I may start rewatching SG-1 from the beginning or X-Files. We'll see.

8. I want to watch the first season of Supernatural. But I have been holding off because I have the sneaking suspicion it's exactly like an original fic I have outlined.

9. I will be making more icons. They're stress relief for me, but I'll share if anyone wants them anyway. I'll probably play with Smallville, SG-1, and Farscape.

10. I don't really have a ten, but I look forward to continuing to share fannish thoughts with you all. The last few weeks I've complained mostly about work. I'm hoping to switch gears and have some more fun now. You know, in between writing my original fic :)
