(Random otter icon because I have no coffee icon as of yet. Yet.)

Yesterday I apparently woke up in a different time zone (somwhere in Australia I think), because I had random, epiphany-like moments where I suddenly cried out, "Wait! Today is Tuesday! Not Wednesday!" The tradition has continued into today, because I've already had to tell myself once that it's not Thursday. On the bright side, waking up a day ahead of the rest of the world has done marvelous things with my hair this morning, so I guess it's an even trade.

On an even brighter note, I ♥ write-offs.

Maybe a hundred or so words of that is from various tweaks when I was editing yesterday, but mostly from Monday's session with

kristen999. I'm in "The Little Engine That Could" mode right now in regards to this story, probably because I keep thinking up snatches of dialogue, and have to rush to the computer to write them down before I forget. I honestly don't think I can write 40K of pure snark, but there are days that I wonder. (Maybe 20K.)

Because I think I like stressing myself out, I went ahead and signed up for the

gateverse_remix. It sounds like such a fun exercise, I couldn't resist. I sort of feel sorry for the person who gets assigned to me, especially if they have no idea who I am and the first link they click on is either "A Fowl Encounter" or "Otters, Otters Everywhere!"

On a final note, I just frightened myself by looking at housing prices and mortgage rates. If you'll excuse me, I need to go breathe into a paper bag now.

I've never attempted a remix before, although I did have a play with

bironic's poems which was quite fun. Still, I like the idea of taking 'the other point of view' on a story, so we'll see what happens. My fear is that I'll get something fairly explicit/heavy on the McKay/Sheppard. If there's no plot to play with, I'm in so much trouble...

And yes, Teyla may well be plotting her revenge as we speak. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Also, after your request had me stumped completely, I finally managed your Timestamp story - now up at my journal. It turned out to be quite fun, once I broke the damn thing :)

I think we get a choice of a few stories (whatever the author hasn't made off limits), so hopefully there might be something non-explicit to work with. Otherwise... well, I'm not much of a romantic, but we'll see what works out.

I foresee large, wooden sticks in my future. Especially since I've forgotten both of the ideas I had for Teyla-centric stories. Poor Teyla.

Heh, sorry about that... that seems to be a recurring theme with me. Going to check it out now!
