peanutbutterer and I were just messing around and came up with this. We got a little carried away, and yeah, um, expect a high cheese factor. Or it could be the coolest thing EVAH! :p

I created the following meme:

1. Comment to this post with "I surrender!" and I'll assign you the basis of some tv show idea. (Science fiction show, medical drama, criminal procedure, etc...)
2. Create a cast of characters, including the actors who'd play them
3. Add in any actor photos, character bios and show synopsis that you want.
4. Post to your own journal.

So, we're still on our massive Star Trek kick. We watched Phantasms yesterday, and I really enjoyed it, it's always been one of my favourite episodes. What really gets me about it is Deanna at the end - like, for serious, she just got stabbed a bunch by her friend (ok, so he was in an altered mental state and not responsible for his actions, but still), and it was clearly really traumatic, so at the end of the story she bakes him a cake, and takes it round to his place, along with a big fucking knife that looks just like the one he stabbed her with?!?! I mean, that woman has some serious self-control, I wouldn't be going near him after that.

I also love that she actually is cake earlier in the episode, and Riker's weird moment of being oddly Irish, and Picard trying to get out of going to the banquet. And having his head turned by a pretty ensign. Fun fun fun.

In other news, carawj and I have tickets to see Bonnie Langford in Chicago, oh hells to the yes!!! Rather excited! Very much looking forward to having over a week off work. It snowed here loads but it's already turned into gross slush. Hmm.

There's a commercial running now where James Patterson holds up a copy of I, Alex Cross and threatens to kill off Alex Cross unless people buy his book.

After I got a giggle about what he said in his Castle appearance ("You don't see me killing off Alex Cross!"), I was reminded of any number of fic writers who've threatened not to finish a fic or not write a sequel or leave the fandom entirely unless they get people to beg review.

You know, it's really no more attractive in a professional (even as a joke) than it is in a fan.

Every time. I laugh so hard I cry. Oh Harry Potter.

I just can't quit you.

First, to reward myself for finally going through the stacks of old paperwork cluttering up my craft area, I put on my all-time favorite Stargate SG-1 episode: "Redemption." (There's humor! Action! Pathos! Ry'ac! More humor!)

Then, because it got linked off something someone shared on my Google reader, I read all the Stargate articles at "The Hathor Legacy," which discuss in detail how Sam Carter is either the best or worst thing to happen to women on television, and also, how Janet Fraiser was always really cool.

Then I started rereading old unfinished fic, and now I want to finish "Second Chances," the post-Heroes-meets-parallel-universe-technobabble-angstfest thing I started writing back in 2004. It got derailed by some combination of going on psychiatric medication and realizing that I'd written the first 30,000 words or so entirely from Daniel's point of view, and in order to continue the story I needed to be able to follow everybody else around, too. So, probably rewriting is needed. Also -- my angst was a lot wordier back then, and much more dramatic. People had a lot of anguish clawing their hearts. (Not to mention the technobabble craze I seemed to be on -- I wrote pages about the detailed workings of a differential quantum resonance frequency compensator, and I'm pretty sure we can call that a symptom of mania.)

So. Yikes. I don't take on big creative projects anymore, really, and I'm not sure how to attack it, aside from setting aside time and trying to remember all the plot points. Do I rewrite first? Plow forward with the POV madness as it is and call it a draft? Actually write an outline? Can I just forget about writing it, watch "Rite of Passage" a few times, and move on?

Oh, STARGATE.

Full of awesome!

You know, homophone abuse drives me nuts (not necessarily in chat or email, but in published stuff or things you're otherwise presenting as finished), but you know what's even worse?

When the words being confused aren't even homophones.

Spell check will only take you so far, people. A real human brain that knows how to use the language has to finish the job.

I'm not talking about typos. I'm talking about mixing up words like fell and fowl, where it's blindingly obvious that the writer has no clue what's going on.

Dear peanutbutterer,

I have no idea why I am making this post, but basically I have felt the need to reaffirm my love for you and declare it to the world. Randomly. YOU ARE MY BFF. I have not had the chance to properly speak to you in the previous weeks, so we must remedy that. We have to do an epic battle of insane comments like the good ol' days. Do you remember that? I expect you to spam me on this post, baby!

Speaking of babies, I was hunting through old posts, and rediscovered this shameless, embarrassingly sugary SGA S/W partial-crack Baby!fic. Not to be confused with Crack-baby!fic, which is entirely a different thing. I had written this for you when you were pregnant with your first kid. Considering you're pregnant again, I'd thought I'd unflock the post and post a link again. WARNING: This is seriously just absolute fluff. I was and still kinda am embarrassed by how fluffy it is; so embarrassed that I had that fic flocked-down for nearly two years. If baby!fluff isn't your thing, then move along. Although, can I be honest about something? I've never really gotten the obsession with baby fic. It's cute, yeah, but beyond that I have no special love for it. Also, I cannot write babies if my life depended on it. I am always like, "but what makes them cute? And how do I translate that into fic?!"

Um, anyway, yes. This post brought to you by randomness.

Love,
IR

P.S. The comments to the fic are actually more hilarious than the fic itself.
