Why when I sit down to try and write my thesis do I suddenly get this influx of plot bunnies? And, the more I ignore the little buggers, the more they take over my brain! It's like some sort of weird plot bunny torture.

As if I don't have an entire folder of perfectly good WIPs that I'd love to finish.

As if I didn't promise myself I'd write some original fic... which I have one plot bunny for, but it's a BIG plot bunny and I want to start out with short stories I might actually finish.

Just go away bunnies. Leave. me. alone.

No love

(This quite possibly is me freaking out over how much I haven't written on my thesis.)

Just came back from lunch with Yokiem and another friend in the Student Room. Yokiem brought her lunch from home, so she beat us down there and got bored waiting, so she turned on the TV. We haven't actually used the TV since cricket season, but when I say TV, I mean there is a TV/VCR/DVD combo thing tied into a projector, so when you turn off the lights it's kinda like watching a movie screen. Plus there are nice comfy couches to lounge about on.

So yeah, we got bored with Oprah and ended up watching Days of Our Lives. Seriously, I've never really been into soapies and this was hilarious. The three of us were doing voice overs and preempting what the characters would do next, plus the story recapping on these shows is hilarious.

They had this whole scene where one guy's dialogue told us how this woman had not had one, but two bouts of amnesia, of which she hadn't recovered from either one yet. And her doctor (the guy doing the dialogue-ing) had just revealed that he was actually her husband. His reason for not telling her sooner -- "I was afraid that if I pushed her too early she might have a psychotic break" I kid you not.

OMG! Hilarious! Best lunchtime fun I've had in ages. Plus it reminded me again of my 'Days in Atlantis' crack that I was on for a while -- before I realised there were RPGs on LJ already doing a better job than me.

Yes I tried to rope some of you into writing this round robin-style with me, but had to give up. You're all just too intelligent to join in with my stupidity. *grins* Smart people!


( Days of Atlantis; Like matter through a worm hole; so are the days of Atlantis )


As for the most recent SG1 and SGA episodes (10.5 and 3.5), may I say "Wha?" ( this post was just getting kinda long... )

I just read a fic, see previous post, in which there was apparently a challenge to write the same scene from two different POV's. I'm terrible at POV stuff. I always do the whole "the author is an omnipotent being" style of writing and so I was thinking I might give it a go.

Could anyone help me out? If someone could just leave a comment with the names of two SGA characters and a prompt (a picture, a sentence, a scene idea, a word...whatever takes your fancy) I'd really appreciate it. I just want to attempt something POV, so I figure I'll do the challenge for myself. :D


Oh and GIP! How good is Katie (_wwsd_) getting with the icon-making?

Gee gods, I have to change the writing on this site. Its blinding. Can anyone help? I've as yet not been able to figure out the whole layout on LJ. I realise that's probably sad, but......Help??
EDIT: *blinks* Weirdness it changed to blue all by itself. I wonder if it will stay like that.



Ohhh. Just found a community called SpyGate. Seriously, that is so clever. If anyone hasn't seen it and they're a Stargate fan, or just like fic, get on over there.
Only problem is that it's stirring up plot bunnies. Seriously, I was going to write a Kavanagh fic anyway and suddenly I want to put him in the SpyGate AU. Ooooh and I can also think of the best way to put Sergeant Bates (Baites?) in there.

OK, so if there is anyone out there in the SpyGate Community, my plot bunnies involve three new aspects...I'll post the general idea for my own fun! ( Read more... )

EDIT: Turned the Wraith into Spanish Drug Lords.....see fic later on.
