It's been a lazy kind of week as far as the writing goes.
I'd like to have written more ficlets for the Prompt Battle at Lost City Found, but my brain just isn't in gear for writing right now. I'm even struggling to edit my Big Bang - which I will have out to the betas before the weekend, whether or not the alphas get back to me. Otherwise, I've been trying to write Pegasus Ascendant and failing. I don't know if it's just been a long time since I wrote Elizabeth or what, but I'm struggling with her POV.
Two pinch-hits have been requested for the Thing-A-Thon with four delayed stories. Only two reneges out of forty-one is an awesome ratio! (I don't count the people who withdrew and let me know: that's a different kettle of fish, IMO.)
I've read through everything that's being posted; I'll post my recs in a couple of days (although you could just save time and check out the lot: Masterlist! Masterlist!)
You know when there are things you should do, but you really can't be arsed to do them?
Every year, I promise myself I'll be more active in fandom, talk to new people, venture out of my qwirky little corner of SGA fandom. Then the premiere comes, the fandom shoots its load early and there's spooge everywhere. It's one big clusterfuck of fans for whom the Big Anxiety Has Hit: Will This Year Bring The Onset Of What They Want To See Or Their Worst Nightmare??? That cluster usually includes me, freaking away, btw.
But each year, I think "This year, I'll be more active in fandom."
So I venture out into a few discussions, argue with a few fans who seem to be watching an entirely different show, realise that it's pretty much just me wandering out into the broader reaches of fandom with my John/Teyla!OTP flag hoisted just beneath the TeylaRules! flag and generally retire back to my (otherwise) quiet little corner.
So far this year, I've expressed the opinion that it's possible for Teyla to sleep with Kanaan while caring for John without her being Out To Break John's Poor Tender Heart, disagreed that Teyla's relationship with Kanaan is a Sharp About-Turn Of Romantic Direction For Her, haven't panicked about the possible John/Teyla/Kanaan love triangle and am not going to flip my shit over it, have preferences regarding the Ronon/Keller/Rodney love triangle but am not going to flip my shit over it, and have engaged in a discussion as whether or not SGA is innately colonial in it's perspective (I think it is - not intentionally, but certainly in a Manifest Destiny kind of way), and it's not even the bloody second episode!
Why are there not more people who think that a woman can care about two men at the same time in different ways, even if she's only fucking one of them? Or people who can conceive that Earth morality does not apply to Teyla considering she's from Pegasus and any bigotry displayed is on the part of the writers and viewers, not the alleged moral deficiencies of the character herself? Why is it so impossible for it to be an and gate, not an or gate? *takes off her geek hat*
Did I mention that we haven't yet gotten the 2nd episode?
Honestly, people, I am an introvert. A recluse. A grumpy old lady with cats. Okay, so maybe not old. (Is over-thirty old these days? Sometimes it feels that way!) But there is definitely a cat. All this interaction Is Not Good For Me. It makes me Tetchy. (All right, it makes me More Tetchy.)
I know I should get out there, make a few more friends (hello to the new people - I don't know you just yet, but I hope we'll get to talk), nudge a few John&Teyla-ish souls towards John/Teyla.
But right now, I just can't be arsed.
Mmf.
