I forgot to tell you, but some time ago I did pinch hit art for [community profile] mcshep_match 2011. I did art for the prompt "Last Straw.".

[community profile] mcshep_match started posting today! I have something in the fest this year (but what???) so I can't vote, but you can! Probably!

My first-ever challenge was McShep Match 2007 (the first-ever McShep Match!), so it feels like my five*-year anniversary of fandom.

*Edited because I can't do math.

I present to you this comic, drawn for [livejournal.com profile] winter_elf with the prompt: beers on the pier.



Title: "Mistake"
Fandom, Pairing: SGA, John/Rodney
Length: About 2 1/2 pages (all merged into one long gif)
Rating: PG. Male toplessness and kissing. (Wait, is this a warning or a promotion?)

That's one out of two [livejournal.com profile] help_haiti works down!

Fina-friggin'-ly.

Title: Gayworld
Fandom, Pairing: SGA, McKay/Sheppard
Word Count: ~14,000
Rating: PG-13
Notes: For [livejournal.com profile] keefaq. Apologies for dreadful lateness. Beta by [livejournal.com profile] yolsaffbridge. Takes place during season 4 (when I actually started writing it); Teyla's pregnancy is a minor plot point. There are no other spoilers largely because I haven't even seen most of season 5. (Yes, yes, I saw "The Shrine".)

"God," Rodney moaned. "This is simultaneously my best dream and my worst nightmare."

"Why?" asked Sheppard. "Afraid you're going to get hit on by a guy?"

"I didn't even think of that! Do you really think I'll get propositioned?"

"Sure, Rodney," said Sheppard seriously. "You've got an awfully pretty mouth."

Maybe I've been remiss in checking my flist, but I haven't seen much about SGA 5x01. I didn't even know it had happened until [livejournal.com profile] keefaq told me. Are we all over SGA? I feel like I kind of am.

So, season 5 premiere. Let's see. )

Two Weeks Notice

"Two Weeks Notice" by [livejournal.com profile] zelempa
Fandom, Pairing: Stargate: Atlantis, McKay/Zelenka
Category, Genre: Slash, Romantic Comedy
Length: Approx. 10,000 words. GOD. WHAT HAPPENED.
Rating: PG
Notes: Finished just in time! For the [livejournal.com profile] reel_sga Romantic Comedy challenge. Based loosely on (or rather, the premise of) Two Weeks Notice. It is not necessary to have seen the movie. Set in early season 4, but I do not believe there are any spoilers. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] keefaq and [livejournal.com profile] yolsaffbridge for speed-beta.

Summary: "You take me for granted," Rodney barreled on. "You'll be lost without me!"

"I take

you for granted!" Zelenka stood, now, his stupid Freecell game forgotten. "You have no idea how much I do around here..."

"Of course I do! You take care of all the, the little things I don't care about, thus freeing me up to do the real work. Why do you think I've kept you around all this time?"

"That is wonderful," said Zelenka. "I am your bitch boy."

"Yes!" cried Rodney, delighted that he understood.

My second and final piece for [livejournal.com profile] paintedspires is up today. The prompt was to show Midway Space Station in the genre of the movie Office Space. I was excited to position Kavanagh as a GenX hero of the Ron Livingston variety. In keeping with the corporate disillusionment theme, I made it into a demotivational poster; the tagline is by [livejournal.com profile] yolsaffbridge.

Again, I ran into a philosophical quandary with the Painted Spires preview; does showing Kavanagh's cute season 4 haircut count as a spoiler for "Midway"? Sure, it maybe not be an "important" detail, but it's definitely the one I care most about. I erred on the side of caution and showed his Tetris game instead, but here's the face-showing preview for you, my season-4 spoiled sweethearts.

In case you're not following [livejournal.com profile] paintedspires, my first of two pieces went up there today. They require work-safe previews, which I assume means no m/m kissage, but I have made no such promise to you. Click-through for complete project.

In other news, I was reading The Education of Hyman Kaplan--amusing short stories about English as a foreign language night school in 1930s New York--and I came across an assignment that I think we should all take on.

From The Return of Hyman Kaplan, Leo Rosten (Leonard Q. Ross), 1959:
"I shall write five words on the blackboard," Mr. Parkhill said, picking up a piece of chalk. "Use each word in a sentence, a--er--full sentence, that is. Five words, therefore five sentences." He smiled. There was no harm in leavening the bread of learning with the yeast of levity. [...]

In large block letters, he printed:

1. CHISEL
2. LAMP
3. GROAN
4. POTATOES
5. CLIMAX

Any fandom, any pairing. Go.

I'll start us off. )

I was debating signing up for [livejournal.com profile] mcshep_match again; I had sort of assumed I would, since I had such a good experience with it last year, but then just when it was gearing up, I fell of the face of the planet. (Apropos of that: hi, flist! How've you been?) Yesterday I checked for first time in weeks and the first post was the announcement that sign-ups were closed, so that answers that question! But it's a great competition and I expect it will produce lots of great fic EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT WRITING IT.

I love that this year's teams--"home" and "away"--provide such a different division of kinds of fic you can write than last year's angst vs romance; and that is such a big decision, isn't it, when you write SGA: is this going to be on Atlantis, or in, say, some kind of alien wilderness, torture chamber, or wedding chapel?

However, team angst always had the best songs.

Nominations for the Light My Fire Awards for excellence in Sentinel fanworks are open. Apparently it doesn't even have to be a work produced in the last year?? (But I think my conscience will limit me to stories written, at least, in recent memory.)

[livejournal.com profile] paintedspires prompt claims started last night and it looks like I have somehow tripped and fallen on a prompt involving John making out with Ray Kowalski OOPS

Instead of writing anything, I'm just signing up for challenges! (Theoretically, this will ensure that something gets written sometime, right?)

Check out the [livejournal.com profile] reel_sga Romantic Comedy Challenge. I have chosen to sign up for Two Weeks Notice, because I think it will be cathartic to rewrite it the way I think it should have been done. For one thing, MY story is going to take place in the time frame of TWO FRICKIN' WEEKS.

The SGA slash transposition is just going to be icing on the cake.

seriously,

post a prompt or two or three or many to [livejournal.com profile] paintedspires. There are over 70 artists signed up!

Just think: "What do I want to see?"

The guidelines are all "so like maybe you could also prompt some characters other than McKay/Sheppard" but you know what? Most of the artists are interested in McKay/Sheppard. I think those are the ones that will get drawn.

You DO need to include at least one character non-specific prompt (i.e. 'drag') in your list of prompts, but you can then list as many character specific ones (i.e. 'Lorne in drag') as you want.

You're not allowed to suggest fic illustrations, but darling, I will draw you a fic illustration, if that is really what you want.

Signed up for an SGA art challenge: [livejournal.com profile] paintedspires.



Prompt submission is open to everyone starting March 10, so even if you are not an artist you can go give us wacky situations to portray! (Anyone want some John/John? I WILL DO IT.)
