Back and laughing my ass off!!

I'm finally back to the realm of the internet - yay!

I'll post something later tonight, but first I just had to share this...

Why I LOVE Stargate: Atlantis....

Some guy named Zach Selwyn wanted to be on the show so much, that he wrote a rap about it.

Now the part that shows the complete awesomeness of this show....

David Hewlett (aka Dr. Rodney McKay) rapped a response back!! Totally cool!

It's also known as 'what happens when you leave an actor alone on a TV set for too long'!

SGA - how do I love thee (even though your writers are spiralling head first down the suck tube)

OMG! Did you see DH Public Apology about 'Certain Internet Footage' that came to light illuminating his 'RAP' problem? It's listed there now after his Rap Back Video! I laughed my Ass Off (not a pretty thing any more) for at least ten minutes!)

So, I thought of a Dresden Files/SGA crossover that could incorporate a couple of characters from BUFFY (Mostly Buffy, Dawn, and Darth!Willow). The idea finally came to me as I chatted with another author in, believe it or not, I think [Bad username or site: skull boy love @ livejournal.com], or some such place.

Are you interested in going in on it with me? How much do you know about the season finale of SGA?

skull_boy_love is the group. I wish I knew an easy way to edit comments when I've been a total idiot.

I'd be more than happy to beta it, and help along if you get stuck, but I'm being crushed under the weight of ficathons and my own plot bunnies. (Plus, the weather here is turning awesome, and I plan to go out and photograph the city as much as possible.)

What I've found works for me when I'm writing and don't have a clear idea, is to just write it down even if you know it sounds like crap as you type/write. Get the major bits down, and then leave it for a few days - long enough for it to clear from your mind. Then go back to it, and edit as you read. You'll end up fixing mistakes and adding new bits, and the parts the sound 'off', you should have a better idea of how you want it to sound.

(This is why I usually don't re-read anything I've written, once it's posted - unless I need to refresh my memory for a sequel. I always end up finding mistakes or wanting to re-write parts.)

I also know people who write out of order. They write the scenes they have clearly in their minds, and then string it all together at the end, filling in the blanks.

Also - Vista? You're braver than me. My next computer (hopefully soon) will have Vista wiped off within an hour of plugging it in.
