beatrice_otter: Jack O'Neill in an alien prison--one of those days. (One of Those Days)
Hey, for all you Stargate fans out there, do we ever learn anything about General Hammond's faith/religion?

If we don't, what Christian groups are a) popular in Texas and b) do Ash Wednesday services?  I mean, I know Lutherans, Catholics, and Episcopalians celebrate Ash Wednesday, but none of them are particularly big among white people in Texas that I know of.

I'm feeling the need to write something different. You know what that means; fic prompt time. So. Anyone who wants me to write them a fic, comment here. Fics will be at least 500 words long. Each person should make at least two requests, of which I will write one. Each request should contain one or more characters from the list below and a short prompt (theme, quote, etc). ONE request may be for a sequel/timestamp/missing scene/etc. from a fic I have already written. (For instance, I would not be averse at all to writing something more in the universe where Maria von Trapp from the Sound of Music was a Potential.) Crossovers are acceptable, provided I am familiar with both fandoms. I do not write slash or explicit sex.

Remix Recs

Apr. 23rd, 2012 08:43 am
beatrice_otter: DS9 wormhole (DS9)
The main Remix just went live, and here are some recs.

First off, the story written for me is awesome, you should all read it.  What You Know (The Devil in the Details Remix) is a Deep Space 9 story about the whole Sisko family dealing with the knowledge of what the Prophets did to ensure that Benjamin Sisko was born.  A very haunting look at the things the show didn't consider which takes my story and amps it to the next level.

Buffy
One Who Lights the Darkness (The Bedtime Story Remix) When you're the slayer, what do you do when there's a monster under your bed?  Remix of 5 Scoobies Who Didn't Curse The Darkness And On Who Lit A Candle.  I love the different reactions to monsters and beds. On its own, it is a great remix. It's also a great remix concept, taking the whole Scoobies-at-night idea and giving it a twist.

Avengers
The Captain and the Man of Iron, a Saga by Thor Odinsson, beta by Loki Laufeyjarson (Steve Rogers Must Die: the In Tony Stark’s Arms Mix) The title says it all.

Buffy/Doctor Who
Watching the Watchers (the Oncoming Storm Remix) Ethan Rayne and the 9th Doctor.  A storm, a Doctor, and a judicious application of chaos.

Harry Potter
About Her (Candlelight Mix) .  Luna had always taken a shine to fantastic things, and Cho definitely counts as one of the most fantastic.  I love the way the author writes an adult Luna, it's just pitch-perfect.

Stargate SG-1
The First Rule of Anthropology (The Missed Chances Remix).  Nine years after Daniel leaves the SGC, the Stargate goes public.

Star Trek
Second Star to the Right (The Chartered Remix) Spock was drowning and Nyota didn't know how to save him.

X-Men movieverse
Homeschooling for Mutants (a Midnight's Child Remix).  Magneto sets Pyro a reading assignment. Unlike past literature assignments, it turns out to be relevant to his interests.  I love the way the author shows us the power of literature, and why all these people are doing what they do.

Chess

Apr. 12th, 2012 08:50 pm
beatrice_otter: Uhura and Uhura Prime (Too awesome for one timeline)
Anybody got any chess-for-beginners primers they could recommend that would help me understand the subtleties of the game at least well enough to write a fic with it?  Because I just signed up for and got the most stylishly awesome piece of art at [livejournal.com profile] trekreversebang this year, and it's Pike, Spock, Kirk, and Uhura against a background of a chess board and pieces.  So I'm thinking I should know something about chess to write this.

Other ficathons: [livejournal.com profile] bsg_remix  is done, and Remix Redux is coming along nicely.  Anyone want to beta 30k words of BSG AU on short notice, or about 10k words of SG-1 on slightly less short notice?

beatrice_otter: Uhura fights like a girl (Fight like a Girl)
I'm signing up for [livejournal.com profile] rarewomen and it was tough!  You only get three fandoms (up to five women per fandom), and I really really wanted a fourth--New Who, with Jenny (The Doctor's Daughter), Idris, Liz X, and Joan Redfern as my character picks.  But, alas, it was not to be, and I chose BSG, SG-1, and TNG as my fandoms not necessarily because I wanted to see those more than New Who, but because New Who is bigger and so I have a better chance of getting fic for those people outside this ficathon than I do the ones I picked.

beatrice_otter: Black and white image of Emily Prentiss from Criminal Minds, with bulletproof vest and gun. (Emily Prentiss)
My [livejournal.com profile] xover_exchange fic was finally posted (they're doing a couple a day to spread them out, and you guys, IT WAS SO WORTH THE WAIT.  I asked for a Criminal Minds/SG-1 crossover where the BAU is called in to deal with a serial killer on another planet, and [livejournal.com profile] skieswideopen delivered in spades.  I love the way she writes Emily, the main character.  I love the plot twist.  I love the moral dilemma she raises.  My only complaint is that I wish there was more of it--this is one that could have been fleshed out to excellent effect, but you know what?  It works just fine as it is, too.  (No gory details of the crime scenes, so you shouldn't have to worry about triggers.)

Evening of the Empire

beatrice_otter: Black and white image of Emily Prentiss from Criminal Minds, with bulletproof vest and gun. (Emily Prentiss)
You know how Criminal Minds is, like, always on TV?  Just now, it was on two channels at once.  One of the eps was the one where, at the end, JJ comes back and shows them Henry, and Derek goes gaga over him and the ovaries of half the women watching explode.  Now I want to have Derek Morgan kidfic.  (This is the same reaction I had the first time I saw the episode.)  But, being me, I'm not fond of kidfic of the woobie "lets throw a kid in randomly!" variety.  I like my kidfic to be well-written, with plot.  Anyway, I will probably never write CM fic for a variety of reasons, so I hereby release this plot bunny into the wild.

This plot bunny is a CM/SG-1 crossover.  In it, the Trust wants more people with the ATA gene, and so (being composed of Goa'uld, amoral businessmen and evil scientists) they decide to breed their own.  And Derek has it.  (I'm assuming that after Carson identified the gene, the US started looking for people with it, maybe doing gene screenings of government employees, which would be how the Trust finds out.)  So, they got Derek's semen by sending a female agent in to hook up with him in a bar, who went home with them and slipped out with the used condom.  Two years later, the SGC is following other leads stumble across their little breeding program--Derek not being the only one whose DNA they used--and so Major Davis makes a courtesy call to the BAU, and the team is all "why are you telling us all about this operation if you've already caught them?" and Davis turns to Derek and congrats, you're a dad! three or four times over, because of course the Trust would be using in vitro and going for multiple pregnancies as much as possible.  I'm thinking the Trust wanted to breed stronger genes by breeding two gene carriers, so they either kidnapped female gene carriers and impregnated them, or used alien tech to extract ovaries and grow the babies in artificial wombs, or maybe kidnapping female runaways/homeless women nobody would miss and impregnating them with fertilized ova.  The SGC probably cottoned on because of the assault/kidnapping of the mothers.

Anyway, I have this elaborate scenario, and no real resolution for it, which is why even if I felt like I could write CM fic, I wouldn't write this one.  But I'd love to read it!

beatrice_otter: Stargate--My fandom has Space Pyramids! (Space Pyramids!)
Okay, I've had a few people ask if Wanky Wormhole Remix will get a sequel, and I couldn't see anything more to do with it.

But.  I was just re-reading it, and it hit me.

What if I do an "excerpt" from a sociology study of the SGC published after declassification?  A sociologist would probably find the SGC's e-mail archives fascinating, and the implications of the busman's holiday nature of being obsessed with WX, and the intense clannishness of gate teams, and how it all mixed together.

It's something I'd love to read, but I'm not sure if I could write it.  (Would anyone else care to?)

Maybe it just needs some time to percolate.

beatrice_otter: Me in red--face not shown (Default)
Okay, this is hysterical.
Is there a copy available for DL anywhere?  My internet connection is not great, and also I like watching videos again and again, so I much prefer to save a copy to my hard drive.  (I don't have a youtube account, so I can't ask the vidder directly.
beatrice_otter: SG-1 in the Gateroom (SG-1)
I need an SG-1 beta for a slightly-cracky piece set in season Ten sometime.  Particularly someone who could help me make sure the characters' voices are right--I like my crack in-character, I think that makes it funnier.
beatrice_otter: Sam and Teal'c (Sam and Teal'c)
So, today I signed up for [community profile] remixduello against my better judgment.  (The remixee chooses which story is remixed.)  But I had to redo my signup, because it said that Teal'c/Drey'auc isn't a canon posting.




?!?

I know it's rare; I have the only two stories with that pairing on AO3.  But it's certainly canon.  (I have sent them a note.)

I love Teal'c, and wish there was more fic about him.  My favorite Teal'c pairing is the one above: late-season Sam/Teal'c

beatrice_otter: SG-1--Master Bra'tac, staff held high (Bra'tac is Awesome)
This is the most awesomely hilarious cracktastic vid I've ever seen.




beatrice_otter: Me in red--face not shown (Default)
Meme stolen from [personal profile] ljc :
  1. The Watchmen/BSG crossover about Doctor Manhattan, going off to explore the universe and create life. All this has happened before, all this will happen again. He doesn't like being called God.
  2. The BSG AU where, when Kara jumps them using the coordinates from that song at the end of the last episode, they wind up back in time in the colonies just before the Cylon attack.
  3. The Criminal Minds/SG-1 crossover where the SGC is negotiating with a planet that doesn't really want any of the standard trade goods, but they've got a high-profile serial killer but no law enforcement types with the psychological training to catch him/her. So someone suggests that hey, maybe we should lend them a BAU team for a few weeks, catch the serial killer, and give them a start on developing their own profilers.
  4. The Stargate Goes Public story that focuses on the reactions of the US military peeps who weren't in on the program. Navy guys complaining about the Air Force having starships. Special forces guys pointing out that having four-person teams is really stupid; six is a much more tactically flexible number, and if they hadn't given the Stargate to the Chair Force maybe they'd have had fewer screwups like that. JAG lawyers trying to figure out how to fit the de facto decisions made by the SGC over the years because they face situations nobody's ever thought of before into the UCMJ. Marines being ooo-rah. Etc.
  5. The Stargate story that focuses on the diplomatic teams: how they figure out what to trade with each world, and the person who noticed that most worlds are resource-rich and manpower-poor, and that the thing most useful to most worlds is technology just a leetle more advanced than whatever they've got--still within their manufacturing capabilities, but just a little more energy efficient. Cotton gins. Spinning jennies. Better plows. Better mettalurgy. Etc. Or some worlds want sheep with better wool, or larger horses, or other agricultural things. And then having to figure out how to convince General Hammond that what they really need is for the engineers (who want to be studying Ancient or Goa'uld or Asgard technology) to figure out how to build these things and teach the locals how to make and use them. Or convince General Hammond that the SGC needs to buy Merino sheep or what have you. And then figure out how to get them through the Stargate.
  6. Babylon 5. The one about the Centauri princeling in The Lost Tales that Sheridan takes home to Minbar to keep him from turning into the monster Galen says he will.
  7. Doctor Who/Atlantis. The sequel to Survivors.
  8. BSG AU. The stories hinted at in Five AUs I Will Never Write.
  9. Batman Beyond. The one where Terry's in college, still Batman, but moonlighting with the Justice League when they really need him. And they've got a list, really heavily encrypted somewhere, of family members of JL heroes, so that they can whisk them away to a secure location if necessary, and of course Terry's mom and brother are on that list but they still don't know he's Batman, and consequently are sure someone's made a mistake when they get kidnapped to a safehouse with superhero families. The security people guarding them are all, no, you're on the list, Mrs. McGinnis.
  10. Star Trek Reboot. Away team beams down, locals don't like Spock because of his brother, and Spock's all, I don't have a brother, but what's Sybok done? And it turns out that he had forced a telepathic marriage bond on one of the women in town and raped her during his Pon Farr, and now she's pregnant, and Spock has to deal with figuring out how to help her and track down his brother to bring him to justice (which traditionally would be putting him to death, but so many Vulcans have died already, but on the other hand Vulcan doesn't have the resources to deal with a prisoner and most other Federation worlds don't have prisons designed to hold such powerful telepaths as Sybok). Also, Spock has to deal with his friends and crewmates now that part of the story about Pon Farr has come out in the worst possible way.

beatrice_otter: Cameron Mitchell, bored with a stack of files (Schoolwork)
So, school has started, and since I'm taking classes for grades this semester instead of pass/fail, my schoolwork is taking more time than it has in the past. (My seminary is not geared towards academics, it's geared towards people who want to be in parish ministry their whole careers, I'd say more people take their classes pass/fail than for grades. Not that I ever used the pass/fail thing as an excuse to slack off; but I wasn't obsessive, you know?) Anyway, my writing time is much curtailed.

I'm still excited about [community profile] in_the_beginning but I'm definitely only going to be writing one of the two prompts I claimed. Moses and his identity issues will have to wait; Miriam and Deborah and the Word of God need to be finished ASAP so they can get sent off to beta.

[livejournal.com profile] sg_rarepairings is going to be run on a prompt-claim basis this year, which is both slightly disappointing and slightly relieving. I'm looking forward to it. And to the knowledge that I definitely won't be writing Sarah Gardner/Daniel Jackson this year, having written that two years running due to being assigned to the same person. But given its timing, it will be overlapping with [livejournal.com profile] yuletide, and both of course overlap with the end of the semester and the Christmas rush, and gah. It'll all work itself out, right? Right?

Meanwhile, I've got a Reboot Spock/Uhura piece dealing with some harsh Vulcan realities that's almost certainly going to have one of those completely open-ended 'endings' that I like because they're realistic and other people don't like because they don't give closure sitting on my harddrive. It needs a scene and a half, some tweaking, and a betaing, but between classes and my [community profile] in_the_beginning fic, it's not going anywhere soon. (Okay, okay, I only like the open endings in my own fic, it drives me crazy in other peoples', and part of it is sheer laziness: I don't want to have to write the years of relationship and career exploration they're going to have on the Enterprise's mission that will have a huge effect on what choices the two of them make together and separately about where they're going and how they're going to live the rest of their lives taking into account Spock's biology and the pressure to repopulate the Vulcan species.)
