SGA Rewatch: The Queen
Jan. 8th, 2015 01:22 pm- Again, I remember nothing of this episode. What is it about season five that none of it really stuck in my memory?
- Teyla made an amazing Queen. It really freaked out Bestie who kept saying, "Not okay. So not okay."
- I expected Ronon to complain more in the beginning about the plan. Instead, Rodney seemed to be the voice of reason even if everyone treated him like he was overreacting. I'm sorry, but dealing with Wraith is just not a good idea.
- I love Todd! I really do. I consider him part of the team which my Bestie is horrified by. I'm fairly certain he is on Atlantis when the series ends so I would love to read some fics post-series with Todd.
- Never trust Todd. When will we learn? He is crafty and political and way too smart for our own good. He completely used the team to give him power.
- I like how the Wraith were aware of all of Teyla's 'irrationalities' as a queen. It made the whole episode far more believable.
The fic I just finished, by the way, takes place after Ghost in the Machine. I'm very excited to post it but I'm waiting on a beta who tends to take several weeks. It may drive me crazy waiting to see if the story is any good! (I have written bad stories before. I've thankfully had Betas with the good sense to tell me 'Uh, no'.) Crazy enough I'm already thinking of the sequel. It's kind of a second chapter but has such a different feel and theme that I think it needs to be a completely separate story. While thinking of this story, it might help to offer a prompt for comment_fic to get your take on what might happen:
Assuming Rodney is somehow trapped somewhere for three months and in need of entertainment, what different ways would members of the expedition choose to entertain him. By the way, he can't have any laptops or play with alien tech.

Question: I am going to make a sticky post with links to everyone's commentfic so people looking can find them. Do you all prefer answering only in comments or in posting answers to your journal and then having me link to them? Or is a combination of whichever you want to do the best choice?
more adrift and a prompt
Nov. 13th, 2014 03:42 pmI can't get enough Adrift. I have found no missing scene or tag fanfiction for it (that is well written or not slash) so I am reading old reactions from when it first came out. I think this may have been one of the best SGA episodes in the entire series. I still can't stop squeeing over the argument scene.
So take pity on me and do this commentfic: Write a missing scene or tag to this episode. Triple awesome bonus points if it is AU where Rodney and John don't get immediately interrupted by Elizabeth waking up.
I will pay you back with fic of your choice.
By the way, tonight I am watching Doppelganger and whatever else follows that.
more fic ideas, feeling blah
Nov. 6th, 2014 07:07 amMy throat is on fire! This is really not good as my I have to go to work and sit on a teaching panel. I can barely talk so how can I answer questions in best teaching strategies?
Oh! There is another comment fic idea! New expedition members in Pegasus go to an expert panel where they can ask questions to senior members of Atlantis.
Oh, and a fic idea bestie and I would ADORE reading: Hydra infiltrates Atlantis. (Hydra from Marvel)
Whoops and a prompt
Nov. 4th, 2014 05:42 pmIt's a prompt I used in my last story and a line I heard from my daughter. I remember something was posted last time, but I never gave a good reply. I figure we could probably get good mileage in any fandom out of this prompt. Who wants to give it a try?
Oh, and I touched my toes today. I was very excited because I haven't done that in years!
"So I got my psych eval back..."

...
Any other responses? (I got quite a bit of responses on my livejournal page. I am still just starting up here.)
psych eval?
Nov. 1st, 2014 12:54 amBestie and I were walking from a bakery to our car which meant traveling down a dark alley. I usually try to walk fast and avoid contact with any of the crazies that lurk in the night. Bestie and I were doing just that when we heard two people talking loudly.
"So I got the result of my psych evaluation back and she said..."
Unfortunately they walked out of earshot leaving us wondering exactly what their psych evaluation said. After further discussion we realized how perfect this line would be to mess with people. We considered how various characters on Atlantis would finish that sentence. It led to much laughter and fun conversation.
In short, I think this line is pure gold for a fic or comment fic prompt. So I pose it to you: Finish the sentence. Double points for writing comment fic with the sentence. Triple points for writing a short story starting with this sentence.
