kerravonsen: Daniel: What I see, you can't even imagine (Daniel)

Prompted by a comment in this post: Which characters do you fall for who you think you would like to meet in life and be comfortable with?

(Note that I'm treating this (and, indeed, the previous post) as "fall for" in a completely platonic way. So's we're clear, yeah?)

  • I want the 12th Doctor to be my personal university tutor. Problem is, I'd probably get dragged off on adventures and get killed. But before that, it would be awesome.
  • Faramir. Wise, faithful, overlooked, a bit of an intellectual (at least in comparison to his brother). I don't think we'd have anything in common that we could talk about, too much of a culture gap, but still...
  • Daniel Jackson. Brilliant, loyal, dead wife angst, determined, compassionate, thoughtful, totally geeky. What's not to like? We could talk about the difference between Cuneiform and Hieratic. And other stuff.
  • Cazaril (The Curse of Chalion). Intelligent, and by golly, talk about faithful! Even more, faithful suffering. That gets me right there.

I think I'll stop there. Looks like my most important criteria are intelligence, angst, and faithfulness. Which probably means that Rory Williams should get an honourable mention.

What a fascinating exersize. So what would your answer to that question be?

kerravonsen: "Seriousness is not a Virtue" (seriousness-not-a-virtue)
Half-a-dozen Stargate keys
Invention of a new disease
Daniel Jackson on his knees
That's what Apophis wants.

Harry Potter on his knees
Imperius the Ministries
Life for all eternities
That's what Voldemort wants.

Fluffy socks with honeybees
A cooling western summer breeze
Several thank-yous and a please
That's what Dumbledore wants.

Swinging freely through the trees
No more itches, nits, or fleas
Lovely Jane as his best squeeze
That's what Tarzan wants.

[personal profile] settiai was requesting recs for long, plotty AU fics. So I decided to make a fic rec post here - these are mostly stories I've recced before, but not collected together specifically as "long plotty AU fics", so some of you might appreciate it as a thematic post.

kerravonsen: Sam Carter, red desert, moon: Another day, Another planet (Carter-another-planet)
Whee! I was wondering why I was getting comments for Tempus Fugit (see also on my fic site) when it was posted a couple of years ago, and apparently it has been recced as one of a series of recs celebrating awesome female characters: http://siljamus.dreamwidth.org/113098.html

Yay!

It makes me want to write more about those two, except for this BIG problem: Carter would NEVER agree to travel with the Doctor, because she would consider it a dereliction of duty, an absence-without-leave. And it's no good saying "oh, make it like with Tegan and have him pick her up and then find it impossible to get her back to the right place-and-time" because she's so tech that she'd insist on helping to mend the TARDIS to fix whatever the flaw was that was preventing her return.

So I can't think of any GOOD reasons for Carter to stay, and that means I can't make her a companion, and that means I can't write any more.

So do any of you have workable ideas to get around this problem?

I try to avoid reading works-in-progress, because it's so frustrating waiting until they are finished. But in spite of that, I have been sucked in to reading them every now and then, and I keep on accumulating them. So I thought I'd share my frustration (and who, knows, encourage some authors) by giving my current list of works-in-progress that I have started reading and wish the author would update and finish soon.
mostly Harry Potter and Doctor Who )

Well [livejournal.com profile] remix_redux is now revealed, and you could knock me down with a feather when I found out that [livejournal.com profile] mistraltoes was the one who had done the remix of my story (Trigger Finger (The 11 O'clock Remix)).

As for me, the story that I wrote for Remix was Making Connections (The Telephony Remix), which was very scarey, because the author I'd been assigned wrote nothing but slash. So I'm proud of how I managed to write a gen story out of all that. But Never Again!

The story is now also up on my site at http://www.localhost/Fiction/Stories/KathrynAndersen/MakingConnections
kerravonsen: Samantha Carter: Astrogeek (Astrogeek)
Back in May 2003, I went to stay with [livejournal.com profile] watervole and, amongst other things, we had a lot of fun writing Stargate filks, mostly silly, some poignant. I didn't upload them at the time, because Judith wanted to use one of them in "Truth And Consequences", and I think I may have considered saving them for zines.

Anyway, that's a long time ago now, and [livejournal.com profile] astrogirl2's post about "Into The Fire" reminded me of "All In A Day's Work", and I was surprised to find that it wasn't on my site. So I've tracked them down and uploaded the poor forgotten things.

As per the drabble meme post, and because people might not have known I wrote them, here are links to the drabbles so far:

For [livejournal.com profile] mistraltoes, who wanted a Snape drabble:
Introductions (a sequel to In Truth, Beauty).

For [livejournal.com profile] izhilzha, who wanted a (Stargate) Sam + Janet friendship drabble:
Quantify Felicity.

And ALL NEW, for [livejournal.com profile] astrogirl2, a (Blake's 7) Zen drabble:
Naming.
kerravonsen: Sam Carter, red desert, moon: Another day, Another planet (Carter-another-planet)
Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your knowledge! Story research question: in Stargate, are the ships used by the Tok'ra able to be piloted by Jaffa or humans, or are they goa'uld/Tok'ra only things (like the ribbon devices or the healing devices)?

ETA I'm talking about interstellar ships, not Death-gliders, which quite clearly can be piloted by anybody with training, since they're designed to be piloted by Jaffa.

kerravonsen: Second Doctor about to type in the Land of Fiction: "Fanfic: everyone does it" (Doc2-fanfic)
Well, I put my HP/Buffy story In Truth, Beauty on fanfiction.net in the probably vain hope that it will get a wider audience.

Of more interest to some, my charity story is finished, and up on my fiction page! Things That Go Bump is a Stargate SG-1 story set after "Show and Tell". Something that nobody can see is stalking the SGC...

Well, I've signed up for Multiverse ([livejournal.com profile] multiverse2004), because I have also finished the first draft of my charity story (yay).
Would someone please do some beta-reading of it for me? It's early-seasons Stargate, nothing particularly long, about 2800 words.

While looking though all these Stargate pictures for making my last icon request, there was a picture of Sam which struck me as a good base for a full digital art picture; so I went ahead and did one. It's called Astro Geek. The interesting thing is, a lot of it just consisted of me messing around with this that and the other, keeping the bits that I liked, and tossing the bits I didn't. Though maybe that's just art in general. Though with art in general, it isn't as easy to toss the bits one doesn't like. Ah, I like layers...

I've done another icon. [livejournal.com profile] fikgirl requested either Daniel or Sam, so I did both together (grin).
the icon )
kerravonsen: Sam Carter, red desert, moon: Another day, Another planet (Carter-another-planet)
This one I actually did most of the work yesterday, or was it the day before? After I read a GIMP tutorial about how to use the Quick Mask function, and also with various thoughts about how to do different things with my [livejournal.com profile] tardis_icons icons, it occurred to me that I could make an icon from this digital art picture I'd made a while ago, with a cool framing ripple effect, so I did, and I've now uploaded it.
