A collection of random

Oh my God, Canadian politics is fucking fascinating. Seriously, the current crisis is a beautiful, beautiful thing for the political gawkers among us. It turns out that the PM of our neighbor to the north has been a brilliant, scheming, manipulative, beautifully Machiavellian tool for a really long time now. Why did nobody inform me I should be paying attention? *glees*

SGA: On the one hand, the writers sure do suck balls, don't they? On the other hand, they ship Bill Nye/Kaylee. I can't hate them, just for the awesomeness of that.

Chuck: When did this become the Weekly Adam Baldwin Feeds the Slashers Hour? Because I really approve.

Pushing Daisies: I want to find whoever wrote the "fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to stress baking" conversation and kiss them. How is this show so wonderful?

Reason to love Rachel Maddow #3,754: She has a cell phone ring tone on her site titled infrastructure porn. *hands* I am so hot for that woman.

An open letter to the SG1 fanfic community:


Dear writers,

The Air Force does not court-marshal anyone. Ever. For any reason, even sleeping with people of the same sex directly under their command. They also do not court-marital people, though I admit that's a pretty funny image and possibly more appropriate to the crime. And let's not even get started on what the plural is of that word you keep trying and failing to spell.

Amused,
-me

[livejournal.com profile] wyomingnot asked my why there isn't more Daniel/Jon chan in SG1 fandom. The answer, of course, is that [livejournal.com profile] synecdochic has pretty much carved out the entire niche of clone!Jack fic, such that trying to write him at all feels like stepping on her toes. But it's planted in my head, and now Daniel and Jon have taken up residence and won't shut up. Daniel is pretty regularly making beer runs for Jon, and they have these hilarious, wildly tipsy conversations about the horrors of high school a second time. Jon has taken up with the marching band, so you can imagine how amused Daniel is by that. Daniel thinks it's wonderful- like he has Jack back, back the way it was before year five when Jack pushed him away and he still doesn't know why, back when it seemed like they genuinely... had something. But poor Jon. The cracks are starting to show. I don't know how much longer he can go on like this.

Of course, all this is happening in my head, not on paper, and I will lose all the best bits if I try to write it down. But they won't shut up.

Isn't the plural 'court-marshalls'? "With two 'L's."

Imagine watching Brain Storm if you've never seen Bill Nye in your life. Pretty deadly, no? You may pity me now.

Mini!Jack and the H.S. marching band! If there were a Pulitzer for fanfic and you actually, you know, wrote that, you would so win it. :-)

high school marching band. OMG, you need to write that.

See? You need to write it. Really really.

Also, I had no idea where Chuck was these days. I stopped watching in the first half of the first season (but still kept downloading). I guess I need to go play catch-up. Once I'm done with NCIS, of course. ;)

Now get to writing.

:)

hee hee. There's actually quite a bit of classic clone!fic out there. Danvers wrote a long angsty one, and of course paian has tackled them, too, and I contributed a couple of missing scenes to her story, which is called "Not Us."

It does deserve its own category in rec lists, tho, doesn't it? And Syn would be the last person to say that anyone else tackling clone!Jack was stepping on her toes, lol.

catspaw also wrote a great fic that is our Daniel/clone!Jack called Ten Years Gone. No clone!Daniel in that one.

There's plenty of clone fic out there, and plenty more that needs to be written. Oh and -- that fic trees comm had two unfinished round robin fic feature clone Jack and clone Daniel on the run -- I was sorry those got stalled.

Hi!
