Friday woo hoo!

Yay: New layout! [livejournal.com profile] casa_mcshep! SPN 4.13 (boyyyys)! Getting orangey Rodneylike yarn! Surviving yesterday! Aside from a 6-hour power outage yesterday afternoon, life has treated my kindly the past two days.

I think the best part, though, is just finally, finally being able to get things done beyond the bare minimum required to satisfy people. After a year--really longer, but the past year has been notable for its awfulness--of torpor and feeling lousy and chronically exhausted, having some get-up-and-go is such a relief.

To celebrate, a meme! Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] telesilla: Comment with a story I've written, and I will tell you one thing I knew, learned, or wondered about while writing the story that didn't make it onto the page.

[tags are here! And hey, if you have a question about the art, for that matter, ask it! I like talking about teh arts.]

Other than that I will be writing the sequel when I'm 80? :D

I think what was challenging (and fun) about writing "No Parachute" was writing it with that edge of sadness for AU!John and Rodney, but still having the snark and bickering of canon!John and Rodney come through. "No Parachute" was, I think, one of the really early SGA fics I wrote, back when I was first starting to think about the characters in a serious way, and that story helped me a lot in terms of figuring out how John and Rodney work.

Of course, two years down the road they are still bizarre :D
