So, at work and so totally concentrating on my very few remaining follow ups, I went digging through some old folders on my computer that were happily brought along from my old one and stored in a file in a file in a file never to be seen again. One such file is marked Cat – Personal, so I look and find a crap ton of old stories I must have worked on here at one time. Some are from 2004 people.

So I did what any normal person would do and started clicking randomly to see what’s what. I found a couple I had already posted, but found a SG-1 story from January 2007, another from 2008, ten pages of a SGA kid fic from 2008, and some of my original notes from my K-series stuff from 2004 - including the names and such I went looking for two years ago, could not find, said screw it, and reinvented from scratch.

Things I have learned:
1) I should probably clean these things out more often.

2) I have a bad habit of writing pages upon pages of fic, and then moving on to something new (I’m looking at you, you 50 pages of “Days of Forever”).

3) I have worked for the same company for far too long.

4) They, like, totally don’t look at what’s on our personal drives in ancient folders, do they?

5) I may, possibly, have the attention span of a gnat today.

Sending the kid fic one home to possibly poke at while on the trip because it amuses: I downsized McKay, Sheppard, and Kavanaugh. Might send one of the SG-1 ones home as well because I have a crap-ton of notes on Anat for an Anat and Ba’al loose on Earth fic.

Asteroid passes extremely close to Earth.

- Not detected until Saturday, passed on Monday

- Global council debates need to track these things

- Devastation would depend on what it was made of... like, say, naquada?

Yeah, yeah, global destruction, force of 1,000 Hirishimas, etc. And yet, I giggle because I am a fan geek.

Stolen from icarusancalion:
Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. No more than one sentence!

Because it's me, some are longer than a sentence...

1. He forced his eyes open, and as they adjusted to the dim light surrounding him, the voice repeated, “Can you hear me, my Dan-yel?”

2. Not bothering to wait for pleasantries and the chance of a dropped call, he rushed, “This is Doctor Daniel Jackson. I’m about two miles from the base and there’s been accident; there was an avalanche."

3. He could have made witty remarks about Jumpers and bombs and their history, but his heart wasn’t in it and his mind was miles away.

4. “Quantum Mirror?” Sheppard guessed a bit sheepishly, rubbing a hand through his already thoroughly mussed hair.

5. “Hey, I’ve learned a lot from the internet,” Rodney insisted. “You should see some of the stuff out there written about us. Oh, the things we could be doing if you were cuter and I was more flexible...”

6. “So all we have to do is track down a life-sucking space vampire on a planet full of Wraith Happy Meals and put him on a timeout?”

And I kept it down to only 6! Some are actively being worked on. Some, er, not-so-much...

Running away now...

It's done! It's hosted on my main Storypage, but not yet linked from the index due to some remaining access issues with the laptop I'm still using. Please, if you see any errors or have any problems whatsoever, let me know and I will try to fix them as quickly as possible.


Title: Small Problems

Genre: Gen, Team, Kid Fic, Hurt/Comfort

Rating: High PG-13 due to violence and language.

Length: Just over 80,000 words.

Spoilers/Season: Set shortly after “Fragile Balance”

Synopsis: The team returns from a routine mission with three of the four members physically altered. With their health deteriorating, and factions on Earth after them for their own less than noble means, will they be able to find a cure before it’s too late?

Author’s Notes: I have worked on this story for longer than I am willing to admit. It is extremely long, topping out at over 80,000 words and 172 pages. Also, I am quite frankly terrified of posting it.

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters or universe depicted in this story. I am simply borrowing them to play with and making no profit from my efforts.

Please note, due to the sheer size of this thing, it is being hosted off site at my web page in four parts. If you have any issues accessing these pages, please let me know.

Feedback is not only welcomed, but greatly appreciated.

On the long car ride back from Duluth, we stopped to get some gas and waters for us, and Youngest was going on about his game he was playing on his Gameboy. After a rather long, rambling explanation of levels and something I honestly don't remember, this was our conversation:

Me: To quote O'Neill in the first Atlantis ep, honey, "That was a waste of a perfectly good explanation."

Youngest: Why?

Me: Because I understand none of it and don't know the context.

Youngest: [huffs] If John was playing this game, he would never get past this level. I don't think he'd know how.

Eldest: If Sheppard was playing this game, he'd be going around shooting Pokemon.

Youngest: What if his gun ran out of power?

Eldest: He'd switch to his P-90.

My sons, they are fanboys.

Wonderfully awesome SG-1 fic just posted: We Don't Pray That Way by hariboo_smirks. Written for the apocalypse_kree comm, so you have an idea of the content.

Summary: SG-1 was offworld when Earth as we know it was destroyed. Here's what happens.

Now, I usually don't like complete apocalypse-type fics, or fics that feature death of characters, even background characters, that we have come to know over the course of the series. This was just that well done. The emotions, the thoughts, everything is so in character, it's truly a wonderful read. No, it's not a happy subject. Yes, it's worth the effort.

Title: The Rescue

Rating: PG
Synopsis: A taste of freedom.
Notes: Written for sg_prompts prompt #1 - freedom.

I know I've mainly been posting SGA fic lately, but I have still been working on SG-1 fic as well. I just haven't finished any really until now. Sorry.

Title: Secrets
Genre: SG-1, Team, Gen

Rating: PG-13
Synopsis: A bottle of Abydonian homebrew is put to good use.
