two things

[tielan]

1. My laptop battery is about to run out. Which means my writing plans for tonight are bunk.

2. Out of curiosity: if you could get me to write any Atlantis story you liked - any story at all - what would it be and why would you get me to write it?

ETA: Intriguing. I've got seven Teyla-centric requests, and one Lorne-centric request. Looks like all the other-character fans have fled this LJ or something...

Babyfic! Mwahahaha...

I was wondering where you disappeared to.

[tielan]

What were you doing up so late?

[allisnow.livejournal.com]

Um, futzing around.

[tielan]

*snorts*

"futzing around"?

[sjhw-tolerance.livejournal.com]

What happens to everyone when Teyla is killed during a mission, because I want it dark and awful and all their lives ruined.

[allisnow.livejournal.com]

*eyes sue and wonders if her brain was swapped with yam (or perhaps ness)*

[sjhw-tolerance.livejournal.com]

No...Yam would want *everyone* to die and Ness would want the actor's reactions to their character's 'deaths'. Me...I just want them all broken and in a huge mess.

Carson had known the moment he'd seen the three men stagger through the gate, hours late and with Ronon carrying the limp form that could only be Teyla, that it was going to be bad. He just hadn't realized how bad though, as he shouted orders at his med team, watching the awful way her head at lolled to the side when Ronon carefully laid her still body on the stretcher.

Ronon backed away, retreating to a position beside a pillar, not once taking his eyes off Teyla. With a practiced glance, Carson could see that the Satedan wasn't injured--at least physically--but hsi eyes were wild and his face grim. Rodney had dropped down onto the bottom step and for once wasn't demanding to be the center of attention, though Carson could clearly see he was injured. And then the sickening thought occurred to him that maybe the blood all over McKay's clothing wasn't his blood at all.... Carson hazarded a quick look at Sheppard, who hadn't said word, shrugging off Elizabeth and positioning himself halfway between Ronon and McKay, his eyes haunted and his jaw tight.

Turning back to his patient, Carson's heart clenched when he saw the gaping wound in her abdomen, the smell of scorched flesh and fabric assaulting his nostrils. Bending over her with his stethoscope in his ears, Carson pressed the bell to her blood spattered chest, already exposed by the quick hands of his staff. Her skin was so cold and he heard nothing at all.

Closing his eyes and praying futilely for a heartbeat that he knew would never happen again, he eventually raised his head and removed the ear pieces, looking at the three men. "What happened?" he asked, his voice surprisingly gentle and calm as he carefully pulled together the tattered edges of her clothing, covering her from the curious eyes of all who had gathered.

His staff, quickly realizing the futility of any further efforts, stepped back. McKay didn't say anything, merely stared down at his feet, taking ragged breaths. Ronon turned and walked away, his footsteps echoing down the corridor. Sheppard unclipped his P-90 and handed it to the waiting armory sergeant before finally answering. "We weren't fast enough."

[tielan]

Ow.

You want them broken, eh? *g*

Maybe in time for Valentine's Day...

[sjhw-tolerance.livejournal.com]

Maybe in time for Valentine's Day...

Well, that's up to you, right now I'm going to take this snippet and run with it. And I'd rather have something for the zines. :-)

[tielan]

Oh, yeesh. The zines...

[thelana.livejournal.com]

Teyla, Ronon and Teal'c walk into a bar... :p

[kjog.livejournal.com]

Probably something showing how Teyla copes with something traumatic, surrounded by team and/or other relationships - there's not much emotional continuity in the show, and it's really hard to find someone who writes Teyla well (but you certainly do). Also, with little insights into traditional Athosian culture. People tend to forget that Teyla's not from Earth. Again, you're the best writer for the job. I think I'm rambling - my mother just woke me up way the hell too early thinking I had a doctor's appointment. Which. I. Don't. (not bitter, not bitter, not bitter...) Anyway, get thee writing! :)

[madjm.livejournal.com]

Girl power, as the women save the world without help from the guys. Why? Because you mentioned this story to me ages ago, and I've wanted to see it since. :)

[blacksquirrel.livejournal.com]

Teyla is stuck on Earth while the rest of the team is on Atlantis (or maybe one other member with her). She decides to colonize the Milky Way and take over all operations without asking for any cultural help from the earthlings. This seems completely normal to everyone.

[tielan]

Okay, I'm intrigued how this would work...

Teyla Emmagen, Mistress of the Universe...

[blacksquirrel.livejournal.com]

Totally - she should be.

[sugargroupie.livejournal.com]

2- Teyla backstory, perhaps a glimpse of her first lover, but more indepth of her second and third, how she grew into her strength, her sexuality. Or maybe a story about Teyla and her mother.

[inimicallyyours.livejournal.com]

Huh. Any Atlantis story? Even crazy crack induced AU's? (Heh)
Hmmm...nothing in particular really grabs me. I do love your Teyla/John stories, but lately I've been craving Lorne. There isn't enough Lorne in this fandom (for me). So, a Lorne-centric story, not really AU, would be awesome. (Or, Ronon...I love Ronon too.)

[inimicallyyours.livejournal.com]

*Ahem*

This is yoursinimically (heh); I'd like Lorne too, please!

[tielan]

Actually, you were the person requesting Lorne when I posted the ETA. :)

[inimicallyyours.livejournal.com]

Heh, I know. ;)

I was just trying to up my, err, our chances of getting Lorne fic.
You know, 2 *different* people requesting it...

[tielan]

*snorts*

If an idea hits me, then I write it. I haven't written any Lorne in a while, let alone Lorne genfic.

So you might get lucky. Possibly. :)

[inimicallyyours.livejournal.com]

Woot! Awesome!

So you might get lucky

Um, will that apply to Lorne too? (Just asking...)=)

[tielan]

LOLOL. He might!

[inimicallyyours.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Lorne (and I) thank you.

Umm...

[cold-queen-5.livejournal.com]

I wants Ronon/Elizabeth.

LOL...add that to your list...

I'd actually like a follow-up to your Stairway to Heaven fic, focusing on those two. They didn't get much screen time in it, and it was intriguing, what was happening between them.

Re: Umm...

[tielan]

*laughs*

I've thought about writing a short Ronon/Elizabeth story for that universe. Never gave it priority, though.

Re: Umm...

[cold-queen-5.livejournal.com]

Well...

PRIORITIZE!!!

[ninja007.livejournal.com]

Hi Tielan!

Call me kinky, but.... :) ;)

I'd love to see you write a fic where John and Teyla somehow change sexes. In other words, John turns into a woman and Teyla vice versa. Then they have sex and discover what it feels like and means to the other.

I'd love you to write it, because you write such wonderful John/Teyla fics.

Please, oh please, write this one!!!

Pretty please? Here's a plate of home baked cookies for a bribe!

[tielan]

Hm. An interesting idea, but I have issues with bodyswaps that result in sex. I personally think it would seriously screw a person over to actually have sex with their own body.

Just bodyswaps, no problem. It's definitely an interesting thought (and one that I kinda cheated out of in 'Genes In A Twist'), but bodyswaps involving sex? I can't see it without things getting seriously twisted and kinky. (Which might be what you were going for in the first place! *g*)

[(Anonymous)]

I read it in a Farscape fic and it turned out really well and was very hot. Who else would know the 'buttons' of their own body than John and Teyla?

I understand your point though. It could be considered very squick.

[tielan]

I'll see if any ideas hit me, but I wouldn't hold my breath! I might have a John-and-Teyla bodyswap story somewhere, but I don't know that they'll be having sex in it.

Incidentally, in one of my previous polls, nearly as many people voted for 'bodyswitch' as did for 'much ado'...

So maybe there's something in that. *shrugs*

[missyvortexdv.livejournal.com]

I'd want you to write something Kavanagh centric, preferably him accompanying the team on a mission for some reason or as part of a large mostly scientific mission that also had Teyla, Ronon and Shep on it. Why? Because I'd trust that you could manage to handle staying true to the whiny jerkish guy he most definitely is most of the time but still handle portraying him as three dimensional, unlike TPTB and most people who put him in fic. I guess I'm just curious how you writing him would turn out because you do other characters so well but I'm not sure I've noticed you writing anything with him in it, unless it was a brief cameo on his part and I'd really love non cliche (thinking Critical Mass here) interactions of him with all the team, though not necessarily all of them at once. Plus you do off world fics really well without them having to be long drawn out action/adventures, yours end up more about characters which is what I like.

[tielan]

Hmm...this is definitely an interesting prospect.

It would be particularly interesting if the people dealing with him were John, Teyla, and Ronon - all of whom Kavanaugh would consider 'inferior' to him in some way; plus, Ronon wasn't exactly gentle with him in Critical Mass, so there'd be issues there.

I wouldn't hold your breath, but it's definitely an intriguing thought. And I'm trying for fics with a bit more plot to them this year.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi! I hope you don't mind my piping up again, but I just couldn't resist throwing my requst in. I'd love to see you write a fic about Michael's return, where he manages to take Carson and/or the team hostage and Teyla saves the day with minimal (or no) help. Why? I think Michael's character was underused and he'd make a good bad-guy. We don't see enough of Teyla being an integral part of any conflict resolution and she can so kick-ass!

Thanks!
~ Kim

[tielan]

Hey there!

Apparently Michael is appearing in a later S3 episode - hopefully there'll be some good stuff for Teyla in that episode.

But, yes, I have thought about a Teyla vs. Michael showdown at some stage. A showdown over Carson would be very interesting, too!

[uniquinum.livejournal.com]

Nekkid Ronan (Yes I have a one track mind), but for a completely random non-sexual reason... actually just nekkid Ronan will do.

[imaginarydear.livejournal.com]

Friending you, and telling you because one is supposed to - no strings attached, no back-friending needed.
Reason: Sheer love for your ronon/weir epic, and interested in keeping up with you. Because I couldn't seem to find any other really good Het-writer out there... Maybe I've lost track of them.
cheers.
