alpha needed!

As someone explained to me, an 'alpha' is someone who helps you along with the story as it's happening. A 'beta' is someone who helps you with the story after it's written.

I need an alpha - someone to help me with my extremely stuck sgabigbang story! I'm 1000 words in...and that's all I can manage. I've written and discarded about 8,000 others and this is becoming extremely frustrating.

Although the story is John/Teyla, you need to be open to John/other at this point.

AIM, YIM, MSN, or email - but it would be appreciated if you have the time to help now, because I need to get this party moving or else it'll never happen.

Help?

shows

Bones: I'm almost up to date with the US - still have the 1st half S2 to watch, but the interesting storylines (Max Brennan, Bones/Sully, Stephen Fry, the Gormagon, Max Brennan's trial) all happen in the 2nd half of S2 and in S3.

I'm avoiding spoilers for the finale and S4. It's better that way.


Moonlight: watched the first ep after the hiatus, and then...kinda haven't watched the others. The cancellation of the show doesn't help. Sadly, it looked like they were just getting out of their setup UST period and into some mythology arcs, which would have been very enjoyable to watch. Alas, no cigar. But I'll watch the rest of the eps sometime. It was an enjoyable series, and did some wonderful things with character interactions. Obviously not as wonderful as Bones, but not bad.


Sarah Connor Chronicles: I have tried to get into this, but I just can't seem to connect to it. I don't know why - Lena Headley is awesome and so is Summer Glau. I think it may be that I am possibly the only person in the universe who liked the third Terminator movie - that they didn't prevent Judgement Day, only delayed it - and that in the intervening years, John Connor became a loner and a wanderer, and began to lose his belief that he really was the Saviour of the world. I liked that he had to find his roots again and go back to who he'd been trained to be, even as he tried to end the threat of Judgement Day once and for all.


The Dollhouse: I dropped by to have a look at one of The Dollhouse comms - it's already got 300 members. And the show doesn't even come out until January next year! January next year. *shakes head* The premise looks intriguing, but from the clip I saw, Tahmoh Penikett seems awfully like Helo as an FBI agent. I look forward to watching Eliza Dushku, though. At the least, I'll give it a go. Whether I like it or not, we'll see.


Dr. Who: Must get the S4 eps off my "dealer". He saves me bandwidth.
