Writing Exercise: Think of a person, real or imagined. From the following ten things, choose four and in one paragraph each, describe how the person would:

--answer the telephone when a telemarketer calls
--tell a funny story
--dance alone at home
--cry (you pick why)
--argue with a truck driver
--vomit
--flirt with a waiter/waitress
--play with a small child
--eat a lobster
--wake up to have breakfast alone
--prepare to go out for an important dinner

As you write these things, do not name the character's emotional state, i.e., "he is happy," "she is depressed." Try to make me feel the mood by describing the character and his or her situation


Have already done Teyla: dance alone, and vomit, now for the other two.

Teyla: play with a small child, eat a lobster )

This was actually a good writing exercise: short and descriptive, connotative rather than denotative. I might do another one later this week - if I get my pinch-hit for the [livejournal.com profile] john_teyla_fic ficathon done today.

I suspect that I'm going to sit contrary to at least 90% of the fandom on this, but this is one of the few 'rewatchable' eps of the season for me.

Submersion )

So, yeah, in conclusion: an episode I really enjoyed. Which probably means that at least three-quarters of the fandom will hate it or be 'meh' about it. My tastes in Atlantis fandom seem to run that way.
