Dear LJ: Did I say I wanted a plus account, or did you just decide to give me ads when I stopped paying for this journal? You suck.

Anyway! I am still alive, in case anyone was wondering. My life has been eaten by bandom. If anyone's into that, you are more than welcome to come join the insanity at amatia, most of which involves flailing about the fact that I met Tom Conrad's new band.

"We don't understand the R2D2 crap, so we're gonna go with the Star Trek method."

For serious, I really don't like Jool.

So I picked up the first two seasons of Babylon 5 a few weeks ago when I found them for $25/each at a Shopko four hours from where I actually live. (I was there for work.) When I went to my nearby Shopko... no Bab5. Needless to say, I was kind of ticked I hadn't just gotten them all and been broke for a week. But the point of this is not the cheap price. The point is that now I have two seasons of Bab5 I need to watch... and suddenly I just want to Netflix Andromeda.

Space shows are worse crack than crime shows!

Around the Clock masterlist updated! Only eight to finish before time's up.

And "Doppleganger", so far, looks like a recycled SG-1 episode.

Five totally crazy AU snippets that I wrote for medie's birthday a few months ago and then forgot to link here after I posted. SG-1/B5, SG-1/XF, SG-1/Andromeda, SGA/Batman, and SGA.

It was really fun to write something so goofy, and I enjoyed the experience.

I see the sgdiverse_award femslash awards still have yet to be announced. I'm sorry, but that's really poor form to do half the announcements and leave half hanging. And even worse that the femslash voting polls? Had results viewable when they should not have been.

I really need to finish my Around the Clock claim before the end of the year. This means watching Farscape again. Hmm.

Dear Atlantis,

Remember when I said we were mostly broken up but still on good terms? NOT ANYMORE, YOU BASTARD!

That's fine, though. I have bad crime shows to comfort me, where the rate of characters perishing is exponentially less.

No love,
amitee

OH SHOW. SO CRAZY.

It feels much too soon to actually have SGA S3 DVDs, you know? I got mine from Amazon along with A Dog's Breakfast, but I saw them at Shopko for $25, probably the cheapest they are anywhere. Also $25 at Shopko right now? Babylon 5! I bought two, but by the time I am un-broke again, the sale will be over.

I still feel unfannish. Even crime shows of doom love has waned. But I still have a bunch of in-progress fics that I'm plugging away on, and all my ficathon stories are on track!

Spent the last three days out of town for training. What's new with you guys?

Also, I guess I should renew my account again. (Is denying LJ $5 really sticking it to them? Doubtful.)

I did some flist cleaning, nothing major. Mostly trying to cut down on the number of doubles I have between this LJ and the other, so if you were on both you're still on one, and I'll still be reading.

The polls at the Diversification Awards are set to show to none, but I can see who is winning. This is probably not a good thing. (Yes, I voted for my own stories, but I am not going to link-drop or anything.)

I'm wanting to run a fic challenge again, because I'm easy like that and I always forget how little response all my other challenges get (no matter what name I run them under, or what fandom they're in!). But I really want to do the "Ladies' Night at the Edge of the Universe" thing!

It would be a multifandom, crossover-friendly, het or femslash ficathon. (My subtitle wants to be "the 'get Elizabeth Weir laid' ficathon", but this would definitely not be limited to Elizabeth.) There would be a list of allowed scifi shows (maybe a few movies?)with some sort of alien or space slant - SG-1, SGA, Farscape, The X-Files, Earth 2, seaQuest, Space: Above and Beyond, Babylon 5, Contact to name some off the top of my head.

I just can't decide if I want to run it as a challenge, where you could sign up to write what you wanted, or if I want to have people submit a list of prompts or pairings they want to read and then I'll make a master list and folks can grab from that.

Hmm. More thought is required.
