jadesfire: Bright yellow flower (Writing - fountain pen)
[personal profile] jadesfire
Written for the wonderful [livejournal.com profile] newkidfan and hosted over at the comm in her honour \o/ If you've ever glanced at [livejournal.com profile] artword, you'll know it's an awesome comm generally, but the last challenge in particular took modding to new levels, and she managed it with grace, humour and style. For me in particular, she was patient and helpful and humoured me when I panicked, which was hugely appreciated. So this is just a small thank you to her for all of that.

In my head, this story forms a loose trilogy with First Contact and Finding Their Way, about the early days of the Atlantis expedition.

Summary: The visit came sooner than Rodney expected.




Do I owe anyone fic at the moment? I have a vague feeling that I do but I can't figure out who, what, when or why. There's a Happyfest over at [livejournal.com profile] miss_zedem's that I'd encourage everyone to contribute to and I might drop into later. On my list at the moment is knitting-fic, puppy-fic (although that one's trying to turn itself into original fic *is scared*), LFWS Round 3, my Yuletide fic and my [livejournal.com profile] sga_santa fic (and damn I need to keep better track of my plot bunnies because I *know* I had one I wanted to use). Anything else? I'm bound to have missed something... Maybe it was a beta *goes to check email*

ETA: I'd forgotten my long-term projects - the top-sekkrit thingy (yup, [livejournal.com profile] bironic, I'm still going on it...), the Torchwood-Rio fic and the SGA AU that's mouldering in an email attachment somewhere. I think *that* was the one that might make my secret santa *ponders*

Sometimes I think fic is like the teaspoons when you're doing the washing up. No matter how done you think you are, there's always one left in the bottom of the sink.

*pokes through foam* Anything else while I'm here?
