Happy birthday to Mel!!

A VERY VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to [livejournal.com profile] newkidfan, who makes some of the most beautiful things I have ever seen ♥♥♥



Rodney begins the long trek back to where he’d abandoned his piles of gear, laptop case banging on his hip. He has to get in touch with the Americans, who are the ones who have undertaken the responsibility of ferrying him back and forth between Antarctica and the headquarters in Colorado. And, knowing the Americans, there’ll be damn all getting his paperwork refiled and a whole host of pointless, tyrannical procedures to follow because, for a group of people obsessed with liberty and freedom, the Americans are very good at inflicting stupid regulations.

Rodney can feel his blood pressure increasing with each passing footstep. Grodin and the woman at the information desk have obviously been conspiring to push him over the edge of his first heart attack. That, Rodney decides, is going to come out of Grodin’s hide or ego, whichever is handiest, or possibly both.

Somewhere in the middle of plotting an elaborate scheme of revenge whereby Grodin ends up stumbling through the wrong side of an activated Stargate, a voice interrupts.

“I didn’t know you could do that with a particle accelerator.”

“What?” Rodney looks up from his gear and sees one of the USAF guys holding up a pillar, leaning against it and grinning at Rodney with a sort of mad laziness.

Um... It's a gorgeous picture, but I think your coding has fucked up a bit somewhere, because it's playing merry hell with my flist. It seems to be centering everything from your post down. It wouldn't be a problem, but I have side bars and things are overlapping. It's probably something as simple as closing a 'center' tag. If it's not too much trouble, could you see if it's fixable? I can't be the only one affected.

Wait, wait :takes deep breath:: this is a se/prequel to No Parachutes? That was one of the first stories I read in this fandom and, okay I probably never commented on it but, I always LOVED it.

Old Elizabeth and her scratchy voiced "Always bickering" which broke me every time and when John and Rodney are trying to get out of each other what Elizabeth told them ::smiles::

Yup, loved it... off to read again. ::hugs::

That's absolutely beautiful, oh wow. <3

Same problem here!

[identity profile] aesc.livejournal.com 2008-09-25 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
That's very strange... I checked the tags and they seemed to be okay. I'm sorry for playing hell with your flist! (And sorry for the length of said playing hell... I just now got to a computer.)

Thank you so much for this lovely teaser. It's beautiful already. And I love the graphic too. *hugs you so very tight*

*smooooch* It is finally doing what it needs to do in my head; I hope I can get it on paper (or .doc file) and polished up soon! ♥

Thank youuu!

♥♥♥!

[identity profile] aesc.livejournal.com 2008-09-25 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes yes! It's prequelish, I guess, in that it takes place before the events of the story, but it deals with the alternate timeline itself :)

♥ Thank you!!!!

sweet! Nice work, as usual.

Hey, were you aware that the following message shows if one tries to access your journal?

Error
User aesc has messed up their journal template definition.


Obviously, you're showing up on the flist, but your actual journal isn't viewable.

[identity profile] aesc.livejournal.com 2008-09-26 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? I just accessed it, and it seems to be working fine... I'm not logged in on my usual computer, so it's not my cache or anything.

[identity profile] rilestar.livejournal.com 2008-09-26 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Still doing it for me. Did it at work, and home. I printscreened it to show you: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?fnmketnnt5x

Huh. I've tried on my home computer and a couple computers on campus, in both Firefox and IE... I'm not sure what's going on. Will post about it to see if anyone else is having similar issues.

[identity profile] aesc.livejournal.com 2008-09-26 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm, it becomes weirder... I posted asking if anyone else has had problems, and it looks like no one else has--wide range of browsers and geographical areas, so I don't know what's happening that's causing your browser to be all weird. *is befuddled*

LOVELY picture - omg GORGEOUS!
