new year's eve

Ugh. So, I'm sick, I'm tired, I'm creatively stymied, and more than a little exhausted.

I have a craving for pan-fried dumplings and steamed soup dumplings, Chinese BBQ meats, and Balinese roast pork, and would really like Malasian roti. I could get all this by going in to one of the local shopping centres, about 15 mins away, but it's just started raining and I'm not particularly inspired.

The New Year's Eve party I was going to hold got cancelled - too many people, and I'm still feeling less-than-optimal. Chances are, I'll just go to bed early tonight and (hopefully) sleep through until tomorrow morning.

It would be nice!

On the plus side, I think I've pretty much completed my 12 quilts in 2011! Post and photocollage to come.

Five John/Teyla fics for SGA Beya Elf 2011

So, seeing as we've gone live for the sga_beya Elf Challenge 2011, I can link back my work!

My recip was foxyinthecity and she wanted fic. Fortunately, I was in a position to provide fic!

NOTES: An old prompt from the sg_five_things challenge. As ever, it got long.
AO3 LINK: here

And the reveal gift!
TITLE: Sex In The City
SUMMARY: In the earliest days of the expedition, before things get complicated, there's speculation about whether or not the city really is sentient. John could tell them, but he soon realises that it's the argument that's important to most people - not the answer.
RATING: NC-17
CATEGORY: Relationship, Romance, Fluff, Porn.
NOTES: This took me forever to write. It started with an old prompt "John wants Teyla but can't bring himself to make a move. Atlantis knows John wants Teyla and starts 'helping' him out... Hilarity ensues." And then it...got bigger than I expected. (No dirty jokes, now!)

And then tomorrow I have to hunt down the ficlist 2011... Whew!
