Recap/GA/Dream crap/Yuletide

[hackthis_archive]

Last night (okay, more like this morning) I had a dream that I was hanging out at vylit's house, but she was trying to get me to go home because John Sheppard was supposed to meet me there. I presume we were dating (???) but she was all you have to go home now, he has a surprise for you. To which I was all, um, what? Okay, the surprise? He was wearing pink underwear under a trenchcoat. I don't know how I knew about the underwear, but a) I think it had RUFFLES and b) .... Anyroad, I went home, opened the door to the flat, and he was there and I immediately woke up, because I prefer not to be scarred for life if it's all the same to you, Vi.

First she screws me over with the rageprufrock-trade and now this!

I have been SO goddamn productive this week! I wrote more this week than I've written in the last month! I wrote SGA That's No Way to Tell a Lie; BSG If You're the Answer, What's the Question? (Kara-centric) and The Great, Tragic Man!Pain of Commander Lee Adama (so self explanatory). Go team hackthis!

p.s. Ole skool BSG is on marathon on Sci-Fi

It's the most wonderful time of the year, children, I mean yuletide. I fucking LOVE me some yuletide! I've done it all three years it's been active, and so far I've written The Usual Suspects, Spider-Man 2, and Grey's Anatomy. There's just something so refreshing about the sheer terror of getting your recepient's request and thinking Oh shit, I don't even know these other two choices. What fandoms are these? What the hell? I am SO fucked! I better make this shit work. It's amazing what you can pull out of your ass when you're that pressed. Plus, one of the best things about yuletide is seeing what else everyone else has done. Where else are you going to get fantabulous stores in Calvin & Hobbes or Four Weddings and a Funeral or Absolutely Fabulous?

This year I've gone ahead and submitted the six fandom I am all about, which I don't really think will be a surprise to anyone: Entourage, GA (I'm hunting for that Callie/Alex or Alex/Addison (actually more on this later), Kitchen Confidential (viva KC), Dead Like Me (RIP), Temeraire, and uh, O11. I know. I am cheap for the president.

This is really just my way of saying if you're thinking of trying ye Ol' Yule Partay I cannot recommend it highly enough.

ETA: NUTS! By virtue of the 1400+ stories on ff.net Grey's isn't considered a rare fandom anymore. Ah, well, elynross said just because they're not writing what you want doesn't make it obscure. But that then begs my question, flist, who the hell is writing Grey's cos I know it's none of you hags!

** I'm going to bust out with the Grey's het this week or the next, because Alex/Addison and Alex/Callie are where it's at. Oh yis. Meanwhile, POLL TIME!

George has been on my list all season, which admittedly is not long, but enough for me to be depressed. My new star is Alex. Followed shortly by Addison and Bailey. Also, I keep thinking of a nice foursome of Alex/Callie/Sloan/Addison. Tell me you don't see it. As for slagging off Addison's job, dude, I must've repressed that, b/c when he's on the screen my brain doesn't work.

Oh, I know. Three episodes feels really long to hate George, though. I was SO PROUD of Callie - because on the one hand, yeah, Izzie did need him right then and it really was important, but if he'd just put Callie, his GIRLFRIEND, first a couple of other times when he should have, then it wouldn't have been a problem.

I'm totally onboard with the foursome. When Addie and Alex exchanged that LOOK and she said "I think you're gonna miss me", I mentally went "IN YOUR PANTS."

George has never been good a boyfriend to Callie. He's far too concerned with Izzie and Meredith. And please don't defend Izzie near me or I might have a rage blackout.

[torchthisnow.livejournal.com]

Oh, dude, I will not defend Izzie ever. (I felt a little bad for her with the muffins thing, but that's it.) I'm just saying that I understand why he felt like it was more important to be with her right then, but that's the point - it's ALWAYS more important for him to be with Meredith and Izzie, even when it's not for anything that actually is important. If that made sense.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Izzie... yeah, just, no. She's so far beyond the pale to me that even the muffin thing just made me go '*stab!stab@stab!* I will never forgive GA for faking like it was Bailey's fault that Izzie is an unethical emotional manipulating bra model. Just saying.

And George, well, you know George didn't want Callie, because he wanted Callie, he wanted her because she wanted him. Ever done that to somebody? I have. And it's fucked up and WRONG. My only complaint is that she didn't dump his non-prioritizing ass sooner.
