Now is unearthed

[kellifer]

Feeling marginally more human today. I think I'm still only functioning at 67% but since that's over 50 I think I'm doing well.

I'm having a bizarrely busy July/August. I just looked at the calendar I started keeping (because I kept double-booking myself argh!) and I've got stuff written in for every weekend up to September! I'm not sure how this happened because usually I'm the person who's noodling around on a Friday night at about 6PM seeing if anyone wants to do stuff.

I now officially own 2 dresses. This might not seem like an achievement but I'm *not* a dress buyer and definitely wasn't one at my biggest. Now I've lost about 2/3 of the weight I need to I'm kind of going on a dress kick. I actually own 3 but one of them I can wear with jeans so I'm kinda counting it as a top. Ha. Don't get me started on actually owning a pair of jeans now... hahahaaa... Again, not for YEARS.

I guess maybe the main reason I've kinda of gone dress-mad is because it's the anti-big-kel clothes. It's the clothes I wasn't wearing at my biggest so I feel like it's different, like I look most different in something like that... or something. Whatevs. I'm just enjoying not looking forlornly at "normal" clothes stores but instead going inside and not having to actually get the biggest thing on the rack and *still* not have it fit me.

I'm in an AU mood at the moment. My next spnroundtable rec list is going to be ultra alternate universe stories so if anyone has any favourites let me know. I'm enjoying this guest reccing thing immensley and I love that community. If you aren't a member go check it out.

Also writing the Lorne/Novak snippet has made me miss writing them. I might have to think about knocking something out about them. Possibly not the 'verse I've already been writing because I kinda feel like writing about the beginning of a relationship.

I also keep circling back to my Jack/Daniel, Daniel/Cameron idea because I miss my SG-1. I know people are kinda falling out of the fandom as it goes more and more dormant but y'know... I still love it. It was my first fandom and it's hard letting go.

I love ficlets by request because I often write what I haven't in a long time and then remember why I loved it.

ETA: Okay, I hope no one saw that word I mispelled. Good lord, being a writer and spelling it writting. Hahahaa...

*Squishes you*

And yay, Lorne/Novak!!!!! I need to reread that universe you already have, cause it gives me warm and fuzzies.

It gave me warm fuzzies to write it but I kinda feel like starting again. :)

Mostly because I think I broke them and even though I patched them back up I'd like to give them a happier time of it.

Heh.

[lark_ascends]

Any Lorne/Novak is good. ;-D

"Also writing the Lorne/Novak snippet has made me miss writing them. I might have to think about knocking something out about them. Possibly not the 'verse I've already been writing because I kinda feel like writing about the beginning of a relationship."

That was most definately MY fault (*beams*) and I'm SO glad you want to write them again. Your fics made me like that pairing and I'll be forever grateful for that. *hugs*

And congrats on the weight loss!

Weird! I, myself, bought 3 dresses tuesday and I have one dress other than those.

But it sounds like you're making fantastic progress, hon!! I know with my mum, she gained weight after she gave birth to me and my bro, and has never really lost it and she hates wearing dresses because she is convinced she looks like a barrel. It isn't the case, but she feels that way, so never wears them, which is sad cause she looks pretty in them./irrelevant rambling

Also: glad to hear you're feeling better. *HUGS*

Yay on Lorne/Novak and weight loss! Hope you're back to feeling 100% soon. :)

I don't think you're allowed to rec your own fic, or I would include some of your stories too. :)

I just finished reading [Entangled Alliances] by rei_c which is extremely AU and extremely awesome. (It reminded me of the SGA Big Bang story [<a href="http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/?view=fic&id=53"] by friendshipper and naye in terms of creating an entirely new AU setting that really jives with canon but is about ten thousand times more interesting to me. The sort-of fairytale feeling I get to both of these stories helps, I think. {I'm such a fairytale junkie}) Headers (c&p'ed): Title: Entangled Alliances Author: [info]rei_c Artist: [info]cybel Pairing: Sam/Dean (preslash) Rating: R Word count: 22,500 Summary: In a world where Hunters and Witches have formed an alliance to protect humans from Rogues, Dean Winchester is a Master Hunter. The last of a long line of Hunters, Dean is on the trail of Azazel, one of the most powerful Rogues that has ever existed. Knowing that he can't Hunt the Rogue alone, Dean visits the city of Nouvelle Orleans and the High Witch who holds it. She offers him her heir, Samuel, and the two leave. In their search for Azazel, they find secrets buried beneath secrets and a stunning revelation that could change the entire world.

I am still totally in SG1 fandom and probably will be for ages. And I would read your story.

Have you read Little Jedi Lost (http://epeeblade.livejournal.com/425767.html#cutid1) by epeeblade? It's a retelling of the pilot set in the Star Wars universe.

Also seconding the rec of Specific Relativity (http://gekizetsu.net/sn/generalspecific.htm) by eighth_horizon.

Forgot to add Quia Lux Non Est (http://kroki-refur.livejournal.com/168804.html?mode=reply) by kroki_refur. Dean grows up believing that Sam died in the fire with his mom. Sam grows up with a series of foster parents who die in fires. They meet when Dean and Bobby follow signs of demon activity to Cold Oak.
