Friday woo hoo!
Yay: New layout! ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
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]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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.]

"Hard Time Killing Floor" came into my head basically because I'd been listening obsessively to the blues song of the same name for the past couple of days, and somehow fused itself with those great 5.11 caps of shirtless John :D The story in my head is pretty vague, but pretty much involves John in prison, being punished for some transgression. (The tattoo on his shoulder is a brand of some sort, a marker of his guilt.) And he's in pain, but figuring out how to get back to Atlantis--and, of course, to Rodney! I'm not sure how he manages it, but he does. The art didn't really come together around a story, exactly, just the feeling of the song in my head, if that makes any sense whatsoever--kind of dark and heavy and ominous.
As for "Uncounted," I think it's the shortest story I've ever written :D I guess it's really the conclusion to a story, that Rodney's faced with a choice between two important things: John and his mathematical ability. He chooses John, although really, there's no choice involved, for him. Rodney's words are, I guess, his explanation to John, when John comes to him demanding to know what that was back there.
The piece took a while to conceptualize--I think it went through three versions before I settled on this one--but it was a lot of fun to do, just in terms of thinking up ways to represent Rodney's mind and identity sort of coming apart--the numbers losing coherence, the puzzle pieces, the tangled threads.
