how to flirt: discussion questions

Flirting class offered to German computer geeks.

Questions for class discussion:
What are the odds Rodney ends up in this class, by one means or another? (sheafrotherdon credits this to Jeannie's interference)
What are the odds that the scruffy guy in the math doctoral program isn't in it, because he's absurdly hot and sucks in grads, undergrads, and faculty like an exceptionally disheveled black hole?
What are the odds that such a story will end happily?

In other news: I'm still about six weeks behind on reading and commenting, but I'm getting there ♥ Look out, inboxes of the world.

I also got caught up on SPN S4. Overall I like it--I'm quite enamored of Castiel (Misha Collins come to meeee...), but I really really really wish the writers would ease up on the bitch/skank/whore references to Ruby and other demons that are gendered as female. YES, we get it, women are demonic, horrible, and sexually promiscuous, you can stop now writers, kthx.

Also, my parents' computer is being whiny and not letting me download the last SGA episode. WTF COMPUTER.

.fic/art links: "Faith Healing" (John/Rodney PG13); Arbor (Teyla PG13)

It just occurred to me that one of the things on my Backlog of Stuff is linking to things what I wrote and arted over the past two months. So, here they are:

[fic] Faith Healing (John/Rodney PG13) ~11,800 words
An AU for temaris's sga_santa present! I completely blanked on a halfway decent title for it, which was idiotic, because the story had two sources I knew (Moby's remix of "Run On" and The Band's "WS Walcott Medicine Show") and one which I had completely forgotten until I saw it the other day (Supernatural ep "Faith," which features faith healing in a muddy field in southern Nebraska.)

Anyway, the story gave me hell but it's posted and here it is, with safe planets and Asgard and the Trust and Rodney's horrible, horrible roadtrip with Lorne, and, of course, John: Faith Healing.

[art] Arbor (Teyla, gen PG13)
Art done for siriaeve's Teyla!fic as part of artword's Astronomy challenge. She does write an awesome Teyla, you guys, srsly. There's team, too, but a lot of team through her eyes: Arbor.

The art is a cover, and sort of an experiment in how to do coloring with brushes and not have a decent drawing tablet. I desaturated the image of Teyla and recolored it in places using splotchy brushes of various persuasions... It took a bit, but it came out okay, I think.
