Promo post for Resonance

If you're on my flist and wondering why this has appeared, it's a companion to my SGA Big Bang Promo Post, over here. There's an incredibly thoughtful and insightful review of the story by rustydog (I swear, no money exchanged hands) and a few notes on how the story came about.

If you've come over from sgabigbang, it's nice to see you and I hope this answers some of the questions that I posed over there. I am an incurable rambler, so I make no promises.

I was asked some questions about the writing process for Resonance which was, I have to admit, even more tortuous than usual. In general, I'm a last minute kind of person, and starting a couple of weeks before the deadline didn't mean I avoided that last minute panic. It meant I ended up with ten thousand words that I couldn't use. rustydog asked me how I know when a story's working and how I know when it isn't

( The answer is both very specific and incredibly vague )

( I was also asked about the Latin in the story )

( And that old fanon staple, sentient Atlantis )

I'm always up for more discussion - positive and critical (I'm a big girl, I can take it) - and would love to hear what people thought. There's been some intriguing slash vs gen discussions floating around the edges of my flist recently, and I'd be intrigued to know what people who usually only read slash made of a gen story, if you tackled it at all. Also, did the short writing time show? My instinct is that it does, but that it's not necessarily a problem.

Anyway, thanks to everyone for reading and I hope you enjoy both the story and the wonderful art work that goes with it.
