SGA story updates

[tielan]

So, I'm late on my lostcityfound "We'll Always Have Pegasus" story. It was supposed to be in last Friday, but I still haven't finished it. And, looking at the twists and turns that have just arisen from what I thought was going to be the end of the story, I suspect we're only halfway through at 7,500 words.

I haven't had a chance to check if late entries are allowed, but the mod sounded pretty firm on the 'get your story in or you're in default' the last time I checked the comm. Oh well. It's an open challenge, at least, so no-one's losing out from my delay.

Not so with my sg_flyboys ficathon entry. It's not done yet, either - one more reason that I think I should put off the WAHP challenge, which is a "take a prompt and write it" challenge, as compared to this one, where I'm making an entry for someone and someone is making (has made?) an entry for me. (Sorry about the delay if you're reading this.)

The story for this ficathon has gone slightly epic, too. *grr* I think I can wrestle it down, though - mostly by writing this as a "background track" to the epic story that wojelah evilly encouraged me to map out the other night.

One of the things I'm thinking of doing to get through this year is to post one story (or one chapter of a story) every Thursday/Friday night. It'd be a regular, weekly thing for the people still reading this LJ. I've got quite a few WIPs to finish, and this would be one way of setting a goal to get them finished. (Because a WIP is a sin in the eyes of my muse, and she keeps poking at the plotbunnies. More worryingly, after enough poking, the plotbunnies reanimate. Have you ever had Zombie Plotbunnies wandering around eating your brain?) I don't know if I'd be prolific enough to manage a story a week, though - especially with some of the longer WIPs. And I really really want to write Sarah Connor Chronicles fic, but...

I'm still not wholly reconciled to the end of SGA, or the way things went in the last season. Moments of bitterness still emerge from time to time. My most recent dump of thoughts into an file was related to how all the things that were supposed to make Stargate Atlantis different from Stargate SG1 were steadily removed, downplayed, ignored, or pushed to the back of the show over the seasons. Ironically, they were all the things I liked most about the show - the things that held the most potential.
