ZOMG A FLYING POST

[holdouttrout]

My extra work project is done done done, so now I'm back to the normal grind, which is fine but today was actually just a *bit* boring--and that's only because client meetings always go longer than scheduled and thus leave no time for my boss to give me work from them. I found things to do, though.

MOST of them didn't involve a Rubik's cube. :-D

Besides work I've hit a(nother) "Must read all the words!" phase, so I re-read Sunshine, by Robin McKinley, which is like Twilight if Twilight were about a kick-ass woman who meets up with vampires who are actually scary and dangerous, and if it were well-written and AWESOME. So, you know, nothing like Twilight at all. I kinda definitely want to read fic about Sunshine's epic adventures after the book ends. Anyone out there have any leads?

I also re-read Silent in the Grave and Silent in the Sanctuary, which were as awesome as I remembered. I approach the next book with trepidation, but I've pretty much decided to take on the next two at a run and hope for the best.

I don't quite know what happened to my re-watch plans. Oh, wait: life. Anyway, I got a little stuck on those but mean to pick them back up at some point. In the meantime, I've been slowly uploading fics to AO3 (including jack_built), and am more than a little scared of 2007 and 2008, as I believe I wrote a LOT of fics during that time. Also, a lot of those were probably "I will never" meme responses, so I'm not quite sure how to post those, since they mostly don't have titles or summaries or plots... I'm tempted to just put them into one fic as separate chapters, but am not sure how well that would go over. BAH.

I've been reading fic--mostly older Sam/Jack, but I just finished Jigsaw by Dira Sudis, which is one of my favoritest fics of all time already. My reaction can be summed up thusly: Oh, team. It's one of those OT4 fics where the OT4 is ALL about the team and the bonds between them (as well as the UST), and it just makes perfect sense. Love it. Is there fic of this fic yet? Because I want more!

I just skimmed the fic you mentioned and I would love to see the team that got together and is traveling the galaxy instead of going back to the SGC (that's the same timeline where John is heading SG-1, right? Or is it totally a different alternate reality? There's just so much info to take in with that fic)...their adventures would be awesome! :-)

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

Hah! Yes! Especially that team, although the concept of infinite universes being a practical reality is breaking my brain a little. :-)

I think the John universe could be the same one, yes, although it isn't necessarily... Yes.

[jemster.livejournal.com]

I think that concept would break most people's brains. They aren't made to take all that in and make actual sense with it.

Of all the teams, I think that one would be the one I'd want to be on...

Ooh, Robin McKinley. I haven't read anything of hers in a long time - maybe I will check that one out!

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

You should! Definitely! and then write me fic.

[pepper-field.livejournal.com]

Oh I so want the further adventures of Sunshine. I wish Robin McKinley wrote sequels. I've not looked for fic, though... maybe someone's written it for Yuletide?

I stuck all my mini-fics into one series on AO3, because I felt that chapters would make people think they're all related. Just my take.

Hello, you!

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

I don't really (really) mind that she didn't write a sequel, because I am Weird About Sequels, but that story BEGS for more.

Yeah. The series might be the way to go. Hmmm... I wish my nook organized by series. Unless it does and I'm just not dedicated enough... Hmm...

And Hi! :-)

I wish my nook organized by series. Unless it does and I'm just not dedicated enough... Hmm...

I don't know about Nooks, but my Kindle doesn't - it's bloody annoying. And I want folders within folders (because Aftershocks is TAKING OVER my fanfic folder), but it won't allow that, either. Grr.

[pulsar4529.livejournal.com]

I think I'm going to have to check that book out!

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

You should! I like it a lot--and I liked it before Twilight, so it's not just in comparison that it shines.

[nymaeria.livejournal.com]

omg I love Sunshine. I end up re-reading it once a year or so. I'd also love to read a sequel.

Unfortunately, Robin McKinley isn't a fan of fanfic and ff.net won't archive it. :( I remember looking for it shortly after I first discovered fanfic last year. but now that I think about it, maybe they have some on AO3? hm, I should go check...

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

Ah, that makes sense. I don't agree with authors who specifically disallow fanfic of their works, but I understand where they're coming from.

[nymaeria.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I feel the same way... on some level, I understand it, but I don't agree with them either. I guess they can't all be like naomi novik!
