cesperanza recced my Atlantis, baby SGA fic on a 10 things she likes about the SGA fandom at #4. The last line, the one I wrote the story for. I've written one SGA fic, and in a fandom full of crack, it's a deathfic. I agree with a lot of her recs - the story ones, anyhow. Haven't downloaded the vids yet.
We lit the fire for the first time this weekend. It draws really well, and I'm the firelighter, apparently. All that practice with my parents woodburner is paying off. The basic principle of how it's laid out is the same. You just need to remember to check on it more regularly than a woodburner. But it works, and it's really neat.
Lace & Steel was very cool tonight, as Robert was finally rescued in a daring infilitration mission by Sebastian, with help from Esmerelda (planning) and myself (finances), and Dominici (support). I'm really looking forward to seeing how much decorum Isthian is going to lose when she sees him for the first time. How much will depend on how public it is, I guess, and how he's presented. Yay! *does happy dance* But it feels like we've actually accomplished something, and it's really good.
Also, I don't work tomorrow, which means I have a lot to do in the afternoon, but I can still sleep in and vaccum and the like. Earthdawn tomorrow night, and I'm looking forward to it, if only so that Maree will stop trying to be the center of attention in my head. I have a lot of characters, and rpg ones don't usually end up being story ones. Maree, because she's the most cheerful character I think I've ever had, wanders. Which is okay, but kinda weird. It's not as bad as Isthian wanting to be in the Firefly universe. Thank goodness I talked her out of that.
Played in Guild Council on Saturday night. It was lots of fun, and the team who organised it clearly put a lot of work into it. I'm not sure what they vaguely thought the end result might be, but at the end of the evening, the Terrans and the Jerali had allied together against the rest of the Guilds, and all the Terrans present were on the assassination list of the Shadow Guild. Also, I inadvertantly bought plague (the common cold) to Guildspace.
One of the things I found really fun was being infected by a mindleech. The person who did it was initially planning to give me a ring, and make me wear that, but I cleverly hadn't worn any rings that evening, and made up some cock and bull story about only ever wearing one to symbolise marriage. I was the Terran Anthropologist, and none of the Guilds knew anything about us, so it might have worked. I thought it was clever, anyhow. Alas, I was overpowered, and infected, and it was heaps of fun, trying for two sets of goals. I was almost disappointed when the leech was killed. Still, that was one of the things that made me much more agreeable to the alliance - I was rather suspicious of them beforehand.
End conclusion from the Terran Captain was that since all Guildspace members were descended from a colony ship sent out from Terra several thousand years ago, they were all subject to Terran law, and therefore we could just waltz in and pick up where we left off. Terra had the armada to do so.
This has ended up being a roleplaying post, which I didn't initially intend it to be, but oh well.
