jadesfire: Bright yellow flower (Writing - will write for coffee)
[personal profile] jadesfire
I am all listless and weary tonight, but the words are gnawing at the inside of my brain. Sadly, I can't work out how get them out in an order that makes sense, since I keep trying to write multiple stories at once. This is not going so well.

So, on the basis that you guys know everything, help! Save what is left of my brain from the word ferrets! (like plot bunnies, only more vicious) In the meantime, I'm going to go and wash my hair in the hopes that the ferrets all drown...

Is there a way to vote for anything that I'll be on the flock for so I can see it?

What's OWIWEIC?

oh *facepalm* I need coffee. And to ignore the salad dressing on the ceiling (long story).

Then I vote for whichever has donuts. Do pirates eat donuts? Tony definitely does (in canon even!) and Jack does too, although maybe not in your bigbang... hmmmm

\o?

I'll admit, I'm a bit biased.

My brain inserted inverted commas around the word "ferrets" (like that) - that and the word "badgers" are used as exclamations in our house ;-)

I think that's the only possible explanation for this nibbling feeling in my brain, where I'm trying to get at the words but they just won't stay still long enough.

...I won't even ask... ;)

I love NCIS, but I do not read fic for it.

But if you wrote it, I would so read it.

However, somehow my brain didn't quite register the SGA Pirate!fic option, and if I could vote for two things at once, oh, I would.

I've read very little NCIS because the Gen doesn't seem to be out there much. I figure not having read in a fandom is an advantage when you first start writing in it.

But if you wrote it, I would so read it
*g* No pressure then?

The Pirate!fic will be written anyway - I have a deadline for that one - but tonight, it seems I'm plunging into the sparkly world of the Navy ;D

I need you to write NCIS as a matter of some urgency, please. The fandom is where bad!fic goes to die, and it would be a public service if you were to provide some relief from that. The internet needs you, Jades!

And don't think I'm won't resort to bribery if that's what it takes.

Hee. The internet has spoken! Who am I to argue?

We'll see what I can do with the prompt from [livejournal.com profile] azure_chaos and my oh-so-cunning macguffin. It'll probably come your way at the weekend :)

*ponders* What's it worth?

Hee. I can sort of see the rough shape of it, now all I have to do is find out what I'm trying to say. It will surprise no one that it's going to be McGee POV...

*steeples fingers* You know, you really should think before making offers like that. I'm sneaky. Okay, in return for an NCIS fic to beta by Sunday, I want another, say 250 words added to your dS Big Bang.

Yup. I really am that mean ;)

Do you know what colour it is yet? And no, I'm not even slightly surprised that you've latched onto McGee :D

...sneaky like a sneaky thing, but also quite right. Okay, so the deal is we email one another our drafts on Sunday evening, regardless of how good or bad they are. *holds out hand* Deal?

It's a sort of purply-pink right now, but I think it's going to end up blue.

Hee. I will, but I'm restless and NCIS is winning the poll... Things with a deadline will get done anyway. It'll be nice to have something fun to play with before going back to them.

*drugs ferrets* Thanks :D

I'm the one who voted for the sequel to Bibula Harena. It doesn't have to be 25K words long. Just a little taste would be wonderful. :D

And I miss SGA so much and would love to have them back in the pirate!fic. So I guess I'm not really helping you make up your mind!

Just a little taste...

Teyla had held back her gasp when John and Rodney fell through the wormhole, and she'd held her tongue as she and Ronon had waited in one corner of the infirmary, not sure if they'd been forgotten or if people were just giving them room to pace. Both her surprise and her words are becoming harder to hold back as the days go by, however. She does not believe that her teammates, her family are not well enough to see them.

"I just want the gate address," Ronon says as he prowls her quarters, his hair loose and swinging with his rapid pace. "They won't even give me that."

"The gate is too well-guarded, Ronon. Rodney said-"

"How do you know that's what he said?" He turns so quickly that Teyla is actually startled. "It's not like we've been able to talk to them."

Taking a deep breath, Teyla reminds herself that Ronon has held his temper surprisingly well over the last six months, and that the dam had to break at some point. "Elizabeth told me, Ronon." She says his name firmly, keeping her voice as steady as she can. "Both John and Rodney are in isolation, and there is nothing we can do. They are weak and sick."

"They need us."

"They will need us. Soon." Teyla taps the radio in her ear. "I made Corpsman Nills promise to contact me as soon as they are awake. It is not much longer to be patient."

Shaking his head more out of frustration than disagreement, Ronon drops onto the bed beside her, elbows resting on his knees. "It is when they're right here."

Carefully, Teyla lays a hand on his arm. "I know." Her smile is weak but she forces herself to hold it. "They are home, Ronon. Home."

"Yeah." The word isn't much more than a sigh, but the hand Ronon lays on hers is warm and strong. They have made it this far; they will survive for a little longer.

Oh, that was wonderful. I just love how you write Teyla, and she's just great with Ronon here.

Just for you - hope you're feeling better this evening :)

I think the NCIS one needs to go - I have a feeling that *not* writing it has been blocking me from writing other things. Besides, I work best when I'm tight against a deadline, and the Big Bang and Pirate ones are still too far off...

Do some 5 things ficlets and then once your wordy brain has been lulled, hit it with TARDIS Big Bang...

Heh, the only problem being that I tried that last week. I think with those kinds of stories I have to write while my brain is jazzing on them, otherwise I find it soooo hard to get going again. But there are some fun ones that I want to come back to at some point.

It would have been nice if the poll had been a little more conclusive. I'm still going to have to make my own mind up! boo!

Bibula Harena is my favorite of your fics, and one of my favorite stories ever, so obviously that's what I voted for. And the pirate fic, 'cause I love pirates and I miss SGA so much.

I wrote a snippet of the Bibula Harena sequel up-thread, so I think I may have got that out of my system for a while. It's been brewing for a while - I think it can wait a while longer :)

Thanks - there's a lot of people missing SGA, I think. The Pirate!fic has a deadline, so that will definitely get written, just probably not today...

Didn't see this poll until you linked back to it. I'll throw my weight behind the NCIS fic ;)
