The Earth-Noise Intervene

1. I swear to god, if I have any more problems with banks this week, I'm going to withdraw all my money and keep it in a shoebox underneath my bed. Christ on a cross.

2. My darlings:

My interview for mcshep_work is coming up soon (Monday?)! Do you have any questions for me? You should ask them! Or else it will be a very boring interview.

3. I'm off to beat up bad guys with my SWORD OF FIRE. Oh City of Heroes. Never leave me again.

1. Moving from movies that are bad and should feel bad to movies that are great: I watched Rope again last night with Mom, since she'd never seen it. God, I forgot how much I am in love with that movie. It is my very favorite. Such an elaborately constructed, quiet thriller, and I'd forgotten how funny it is too, and how forward it was for the time. A homosexual relationship (while never directly stated, because of the Hays Code) that's never played for laughs! A romantic subplot that resolves itself by the participants acting like rational adults! Tension of every variety! Jimmy Stewart! John Dall (UNF)!

And I finally found the second director cameo!

I just want more fic. It would please me in the darkest reaches of my little black soul.

2. McShep Match:

x / n words. 60% done!

I am making strides! I'm still not sure if I like it, though. I'm pretty well entrenched in [idea A], but [idea B] still calls to me, and I'm not sure I can make [idea A] work out the way I want. I've decided, though, that if it's not done by the time I leave for Guatemala (NEXT FRIDAY OH GOD IN HEAVEN), I'm dropping out. I just can't guarantee when and what and how I'll have internet access, and I need to give as much warning as possible for any theoretical replacement of mine. I do hope I can finish, though.

3. I am so very close to finishing a line for kink_bingo! And I suspect that the story I am working on will make certain of you very happy. ;D It's like refrigerator soup- I just threw in everything I felt like reading at the time, and it came out pretty delicious, if I do say so myself. I have about a thousand words of it, and it's just burning up my brain, but Mom's been here all weekend, which puts a big damper on writing porn, y'know?

3a. I was supposed to be finishing my incomplete classes this month. Lol. Well, we all see how that worked out.

Drabble tree! Pick a phrase from any drabble! Write a thing! Make sure you put "Work" in the subject line, or else the hippies win!

But Sabine, I hear you say. I do not have an idea! Well, that is okay! You could jump on somebody else's! For example, perhaps you would like to write about naked, subby John? Or Rodney at a honky tonk? Or Meredith and Jane? Or even tentacles?

You don't have to be a member to play. Just remember, GO WORK!

1. Still a few more days to play in the mcshep_match Drabble Tree! Go Team Work!

I swear I used to could drabble. Everything I keep coming up with is just... strange. Oh well. I did my ten.

2. Saw Iron Man 2 again. I think, after reviewing the evidence, that I liked it better than the first one, even though it didn't have Jeff Bridges in it. Better pacing and explosions.

2a. Still can't believe the dog ate my Batman jammies. I'm pissed, but I do have brand new Iron Man jammies to compensate. They are, in fact, so loud that I don't know if I'll be able to sleep, but I love them anyway.

3. I've been writing more, but with everything coming up, I keep socking stuff away, hoping it'll fit into something I'm doing. And let me just tell you, either I'm going to bingo at kink_bingo in a heartbeat, or you're going to see a lot of, shall we say, uncharacteristic stories all of a sudden, like, on a Tuesday. Something's got to give from my writing schedule, though, and it might have to be sgareversebang. :\

4. Hurrah, I get to go back to Nashville tomorrow! Where I will sleep in my own bed, with my own pillows. Mmm. It will be sinfully decadent. Only clean sheets could make it better.

5. My Cally costume is all but done! I just have to put the wings on and do some heavy ironing, and we are in business. I had pictures, but they were all so unreservedly awful that I felt bad posting them (hey, I took them with my webcam. My integrated webcam). Now all we have to do is make arymabeth's BSG fatigues, and we will be done for the Dragon*Con! Hurrah!

1. mcshep_match is over! And, as such, I can finally reveal that my story was, in fact, The Ethical Life.

I am ASTOUNDED nobody guessed (publicly, anyway). I mean, come on, y'all, I wrote this story once already.

2. HOLY SHIT, FIRST BIG BANG DRAFT IS SUBMITTED.

It is 41947 words long and apt to get longer in editing. Holy hell. I can't believe I even did it. My lovely betas: I have posted everything, plus some new notes for your perusal.

3. FFS, I have to be at dinner in 45 minutes and I haven't showered yet today. I WILL BE BACK LATER, INTERNETS.

Dear Flist:

I'd like to take a moment to talk to you about Team War.

We have fallen angels. We have hard-boiled detectives. We have Arthurian AU. We have robots. We have at least one were-panther. We have heartbreak. We have mindfuck. We have more WWII AU than we honestly know what to do with.

What does Team Dirty Hippie, oh, excuse me, Team Peace have?

Well, like, some really pretty art, actually, and I really liked that one story, but CLEARLY they are not as awesome as Team War.

So go and read something, won't you? Remember to vote, and remember that 9 is clearly the only acceptable vote for Team War, but only because it does not go up to 11.

1. Joyeux anniversaire, fanarts_series!

2. LAST CALL for questions, so if there's anything you've ever wanted to know about my writing, my taste in furniture, what kind of soup I like, my thoughts on yaoi, etc, speak up. I'll be posting in a couple of hours.

3. I feel like I meant to rec this story and never did: if you like Sheppard/Zelenka (and really, who doesn't) and/or Vegas AU, go and read We make a sky where we may be by penknife. It's really very lovely and angsty (and anything with S/Z is always win in my book).

4. So arymabeth reads Daria fic now and again, which is honestly something I never would have even gone looking for, even though Jane/Daria was totally my OTP to end all OTPs. And she passed along to me something I really never thought I'd see: Trent/Tom. And the scary thing is, it really works. So go and read Selsun Blue, Gore-Tex Green, while we all wait for the DVDs to come out.

5. I, uh, have a date? This is remarkable, because I haven't gone on a proper date since... like, Bush's first term.

5a. BUT FIRST I HAVE A BILLION PAPERS, because the Institute ends next week. And I will be sad to go home, but I will not be sad in the least to leave my roommate, who is quickly driving me batshit crazy. But right now, it's time for shower, crepes, coffee, and my metaphor paper. Away!

Okay, dude? You have to go and vote for Team War. If you don't, Team Hippie will win, and nobody wants that to happen. If you do go and vote, and you come back here and tell me you did, I'll write you a drabble for any fandom I've ever written. How's that sound? Everybody likes drabbles, right?

<3?
