I loved this video. I'm not entirely sure why (though it helps that I love The Ghostbusters, 30 Rock and the many, many other movies and TV shows that made it into this vid), but I've watched it about a dozen times since NotTasha sent it to me.

So, I'm sharing it with you guys. :)

M7 Fic: The Ballad of Mr. Mead (1/1)

  • Oct. 20th, 2009 at 12:09 AM
dime novel
It's apparently been over five years since I last wrote an M7 story set in the Old West, if my website is to be believed. Well, I wrote this late on Saturday night into Sunday, and I honestly couldn't tell you what prompted it. It's short, and it may be more of a villain piece than a hero piece, but the heroes are definitely there, in word and action, as they should be. It's sort of nice to see them again.

Style is a little peculiar as well. Apologies in advance.

I just watched the pilot of Glee on Hulu.

I think I may have to give up my geek hat for nothing but sci-fi and action, because, holy nostalgia for John Hughes batman! I loved it so much, I watched it twice!

I bow before the awesomeness that is Sue Sylvester as the cheerleading coach. ("You think this is hard? Try being waterboarded! That's hard!")

I won't embed the video, because that's beyond my ability, but here's the link to hulu. What can I say, it made me happy, so I'm spreading the happy!

Astridv made the most beautiful illustration to go with my last SGA story, The Black Lake (the fic's in the last post), and, oh my god, she's amazing! She absolutely nailed the landscape! The picture is here: The Black Lake Art

The art's not a spoiler, exactly, more like a teaser (as she says). I have to decide now, when I put in on my website, do I put it up top? Or do I insert it at the point in the story....

Either way, Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Astrid, thank you so, so much!

SGA Fic: The Black Lake

  • May. 29th, 2009 at 8:49 PM

This was written for the SGA Gen Ficathon, but I didn’t finish in time (because I suck at deadlines). My prompt is below.

Title: The Black Lake
Author: Tipper
Genre: Action/Adventure
Prompt: The journey of a thousand miles sometimes ends very, very badly.
Word Count: ~27,740 (8 Chapters)
Rating: T
Warnings: None that I know of, other than spoilers – this is definitely a season five+ fic, so everything that is canon is fair game.
Summary: Things go belly up (because they always go belly up) on a rescue mission to save an SGA team stuck deep underground and running out of air. This is a Team story, with Keller along for the ride.
Notes: Thanks to [info]nottasha for the late night betaing. This was revised some after she read it, so all remaining mistakes, poor writing and bad grammar belong solely to me. Also, I’m not a doctor and I’m not a biologist, so…yeah.

The story is in four parts, and it's posted on the Gen Ficathon website. Links below...

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4

It's also up at my website on a single page and at ff.net.

Edit: Now with bonus art! AstridV made the most beautiful illustration to go with the story, and, oh my god, she's amazing! The picture is here: The Blake Lake Art

My first vacation since last May, hurrah!  I went to the gorgeous and incomparable Southwest.  Specifically, the National Parks (and national monuments) of southern Utah, which are some of the most amazing and spectacular places on earth.  Seriously, Bryce Canyon, Grand Staircase Escalante NM and Zion are insanely beautiful places.  My mother kept remarking that it didn't look "real" -- she actually said it was like something out of Harry Potter, which, for my fairly jaded mother, is saying something.  When I go, I feel a little like you're walking back in time, because they're that untouched.  I imagine Alaska must be similarly beautiful, though in a different way.

Anyway, I was gone for a longish time, which is why I haven't responded to the awesome folks who left me replies to Seekers below.  I basically took off as soon as I posted the last chapter, so I wanted to say sorry and I'm going to reply now.  

A handful of photos )
Anyway, trying to catch up on a backlog of emails, facebook and livejournal posts!  So much to read! LOL!

Oh, and the "seahorse" in the icon?  That was a piece of deadwood in Bryce.  I had to take its picture.

I've been doing the 14 hour day thing again at work, and I got home tonight at 10:00 pm. I opened the doc, but the idea of revising it tonight makes my brain hurt. So, I hope you'll grant me the boon of a day!

And sorry again!

In the meantime, please enjoy the sticky note experiment...which I so could have used in the office today!

Also, thank you everyone still with me. I know it’s not a standard fanfic layout, to use this sort of POV (i.e. the "bad guy"), and I appreciate you sticking through it with me.

TITLE: THE SEEKERS

AUTHOR: TIPPER

DISCLAIMER: Stargate: Atlantis and its characters are the property of Showtime/Viacom, MGM/UA, Double Secret Productions, and Gekko Productions. This story was created for entertainment purposes only. No copyright infringement is intended. The original characters, situations, and story are the property of the author(s). Thank you to the amazing writers, producers, actors, crew and directors who brought it to life. (Past tense! So sad!)

CHARACTERS: Rodney, Team, OCs with guns

STATUS: Complete in 12 parts (to be posted as I revise)

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: Thanks NT, as always.

 

SPOILERS: All the way through to the fifth season, with some blatant ones for First Contact and Search & Rescue. I’ve seen ‘em all and I’m going to use them all…well, except for the season finale. This probably happens before that.

 

A/N: This was written as a Christmas gift for my friend GateBiscuit, who requested a team story with “traps, traps, traps!” 
  

A/N 2: I did not set out intending to limit it to the two POVs I did, but that’s how it ended up. Once I’d started down that route, I forced myself to stick with it—just to see if I could.  Sorry to make you suffer my attempt to improve my writing skills. 

 

DESCRIPTION: A kidnapped McKay, a determined and angry Team Sheppard, a temple of doom, lots and lots of traps, and a dash of team love.  (Originally titled: “The Incredibly Stupid Idea,” which may tell you something...LOL!)

I'm still digesting the last episode.  I don't really have a reaction or review, just a general sense of sadness.  There was much to love (which means lots for me to miss).  But my favorite moment was....

Not a review, just a thank you... )
