Scratching Post

I still exist! I... just don't exist here on this specific platform very often.

I've been concentrating on writing my original stuff, but stalled out a bit right around the time HC Bingo came around for the year, so you can see what happened there. Eventually, though, I realized I was using those stories to stall from what I really should have been working on. So, here is everything that was pending (which constitutes a bingo, btw) in hopes it gets my ass in gear again:

Title: Close Enough

Title: Blue

Synopsis: An emergency evacuation and an EM pulse leave a cobbled together team stranded, injured, and awaiting rescue.

The LJ crosspost is stating it failed, yet it is available here if you prefer.

Going to attempt to upload some things to AO3 this afternoon, starting with the SGA "Left Behind" series. I've never uploaded a series before, so this should be interesting in the Irish sense of the word, especially since the original files are locked on a dead computer, so I'm copy/pasting from LJ.

If it doesn't piss me off too much, I'll try the "Gate Ministry" series next.

Update:
Entirety of the Left Behind series (so far) is posted.

Entirety of the Gate Ministry series (minus one) is posted.

Apparently I have been nominated!

A Difference of Days - Team with a heavy bit of Teyla, written for the sga_santa exchange.

Five Times Rodney McKay Babysat the Athosians - Rodney-centric with a heavy bit of snark.

Gate Crashing 101 - SGC training with a focus on SG-1 and Daniel's their mishaps.

Thank you to anyone and everyone who liked the stories enough to think of them!


Check out all the stories nominated and (eventually) vote for your favorite at GateFic.com.

sga_santa has posted the Master List of Fics for this season's run. I'm taking that as permission to reveal which one I wrote (it's at the top of the list anyway, labeled neatly and everything *g*).

Title: A Difference of Days
Genre: Gen, Team, OT4 if you squint that way
Rating: PG-13
Length: ~ 4,280 words
Recipient: sci8fi who wanted Team Gen, Friendship, Teyla-centric, and/or hurt/comfort. Hopefully this will suffice.
Synopsis: Some days are not as good as others, and some days are better.
Disclaimer: I do not own these characters and this is solely not-for-profit.

The post itself has not been updated with the reveal, though I truly cannot remember if they even do that. Plus, you know, the poor mods have all those stories to code and keep track of - give them a break! They did an awesome job arranging and organizing this thing.

Two more to go...

Title: I Knew You Could
Genre: Crossover, Gen, Bit of Crack
Length: ~ 3,700 words
Rating: PG
Synopsis: Stranded far from the Gate on a planet far from home, the team must find a way back. [See, I even made it sound serious...]
Author’s Notes: For the cliche_bingo entry “crossover: books/literary” – I chose SGA crossed with “The Little Engine That Could.” It so counts. *nods*
Disclaimer: Not mine, they belong to people with far more money than me. I’m just borrowing them to play and making no profit from this.

Title: Complicated
Genre: Slash, McShep, Hurt/Comfort
Rating: PG-13
Length: ~ 1,400 words
Spoilers: Tao of Rodney
Synopsis: It was a question John was hoping he would not have to answer.
Author’s Notes: For the cliche_bingo entry “What is this thing you call love?”

Okay, so I totally had another fic for this entry written out. Same pairing, bit different take on it. Ended up liking the flow of this one a bit more, as did the people who read it through. May eventually post the other some day, but it's rather similar in theme to this one, so possibly not.

I'm also going to try hiding the pairing in the summary - doing the thing where you highlight it to read it. It works under my journal formatting, but please let me know if it doesn't work elsewhere.


Title: Adoration
Length: ~ 610 words
Pairing: Ronon/Spoiler – highlight to see Ronon/His Knife
Rating: PG-13
Synopsis: The ritual brought him completion.
Author’s Notes: For the cliche_bingo entry “rare pairings”
Disclaimer: Not mine, belongs to people with far more money than me. Just borrowing and making no profit.

Almost forgot to post this...

Title: Life on a Hellmouth
Genre: SGA, bit of Buffy
Rating: PG-13 (mild violence)
Length: ~ 3,200 words
Season/Spoilers: General post-Season 2 for SGA, post-Season 5 for BtVS
Synopsis: The team gates to a world with a slightly different Slayer and Master, but some things are definitely familiar.
Author’s Notes: For the cliche_bingo entry “supernatural/vampire AU” – please note the AU part as things aren’t quite canon.
Disclaimer: I don’t own them, people with a lot of money do. I’m just borrowing them to play and making no profit from this.
