greyias | Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

After (more) sleep and a few episodes of LoM (wah, only three left), I think I might be coming out of my fugue. There was actually quite a bit happening over the past few weeks (other than previously owned vehicles meeting their untimely demise), and actually a lot of them very happy-making.

aqwt101 has translated a few of my stories into Russian!

Thank you

aqwt101 for all of your hard work in bringing SGA fic for Russian fans.

Also, I didn't realize this until

leesa_perrie mentioned it to me, but...

Into the Woods won first place in the Rodney McKay humor section of the first round of the Skiffy Awards. This came as quite a surprise to me, because I didn't realize it had been nominated. It's a good surprise though!

ComicCon is next week, I've got my geeky SGA themed t-shirts ordered and on the way. Now I just need to start packing and do some final last bits of shopping to get ready over the weekend. I think I'll probably pop my head into most of the Stargate-themed panels/gatherings and will hopefully not revert to shy wallflower mode upon not knowing anyone in the room. I also plan on trying to make the Torchwood panel if it doesn't conflict with anything SGA. I might even eventually make it out onto the showroom floor at some point as well!

I'm almost done with the first round of edits on the Big Bang fic (and the word count is erm, yeah, higher). Going to be sent off probably later this evening after a few final tweaks to the lovely

kristen999 and

everybetty who kindly offered to take on extra beta duties.

And finally, most exciting of all, new Atlantis tonight! Squee!

Sounds like a lot of good stuff (in amongst not so good) for you there!! Hope you enjoy the last few eps of LoM.

I'm happy that the Big Bang is getting bigger! The more the better as far as this fan is concerned!!! *g* So what, 85K? Why not go for 90K?!!

And ComicCon, you lucky thing! Not envious, nope. Not. At. All! *g*

New Atlantis!! Yay, tomorrow I'll be checking out the online sites 'cos I really, really can't wait for Sky One to start showing it in Sept/Oct!!!! Addicted? Moi? Surely not!!! *bg*

Most of it good though, which is much better than my outlook was last week ;) I've been so ridiculously happy this week.

LOL, because an extra 10K would look probably entirely too suspicious to the mods. It's still hovering around 84K at the moment, but depending on if there's any other plot holes or rough scenes I've missed smoothing over, there's a chance it could bump into the 85K range. I realized a few minutes ago I still have a few sections of awkward character description that needs to be fixed, so I'll probably work on that tonight while waiting for SGA.

Hope you enjoy the last few eps of LoM.

Me too! I've really enjoyed the past two episodes because Sam finally stopped being so bloody confrontational. I was about ready to put in a transfer for him to go back to Hyde myself. Last night's was especially sweet, since he was out of it for most of the episode and cheered the team on. I love his friendship with Annie, it's just so sweet and supportive, and a nice counterpart to the rough at the edges friendship he's developing with Gene.

It's a clever excuse to take a vacation. Sadly, DH won't be at the panel, but I will get to see Joe Flanigan live in very far away person.

Addicted? Moi? Surely not!!! *bg*

Nev-ver.

really can't wait for Sky One to start showing it in Sept/Oct!!!!

19 August 2008 actually! 8.00 pm!

(now where did I read that... Ah, hierzo! (http://www.gateworld.net/news/2008/06/sky_one_will_air_icontinuumi_iat.shtml). Hope Gateworld's reliable. :)

[Edited to warn: it also has spoilery SGA ads on that page - sorry]

Excellent! That's sooner than they've ever shown it before, as far as I can remember! Though I still can't wait!!!

ComicCon! You will give us detailed reports, right? And photos--lots of photos! TW shouldn't conflict with SGA, I think. No, I'm not going. Yeah, I pored over the schedule. I've seen video and heard lots of reports on SGA and SG-1, but very little on TW, so I especially want to hear about that! And everyone but Eve Myles will be there!

Congrats on the award and the translations!

I shall locate and charge my cameras tonight! I'll be bringing my laptop, and the hotel I'll be staying at says that it has hi-speed internet, although I don't know if that's wireless or ethernet. I'll probably make a post of some sort on Saturday night, since I'll have my own room then. I get to see the cast in person! Squee!

(I hold no sort of vain hopes for being able to make it through the crowd and meet them. I will have a very funny looking journal/autograph book with me in case though.)

And everyone but Eve Myles will be there!

Oh yay! Burn Gorman's going to be there too? Triple awesome!

Congrats on the award and the translations!

Thank you! It kind of feels like tooting my own horn, but it was a nice surprise :)

If you don't have great Internet, just post when you can. I'll wait.

I read somewhere that Burn Gorman will be there; I hope that was right and I haven't misled you! He's not the cutest--okay, he's the least cute--but he's the best actor of the bunch, and that's saying something. I didn't warm up to Owen for a long time, but Burn rocks.

By all means toot your own horn! I toot mine frequently! (Have I mentioned I posted another SG-1 story recently.... ;o )

I think I may have stopped reading names after Naoko Mori's, or possibly the BBCA's website/my wonky net connection misled me. I think you're right about Burn Gorman being there, though! :D I'm so giddy. I get to visit a new city, vacation, Torchwood, SGA (plus SGA fandom), and completion of projects, all in one weekend!

I packed everything last night, and will be silently going over a quick list to make sure I haven't forgotten anything. I'll probably get to the airport insanely early and wind up getting bored and posting while I'm there.

Have I mentioned I posted another SG-1 story recently.... ;o

You might have... but I've been hiding under a

sgabigbang shaped rock for the past few weeks, so I think a few things have slipped through. Hopefully I'll have my brain back next week and I can start catching up on all the wonderful fic that's been posted since I went into my hidey hole.

Congratulations, Grey, on the Skiffy Award! Well deserved!!

Aw, thanks! :D It certainly brightened my morning when I found out about it.

Oh, thanks for linking my translations! (I have a few more of your fics in progress, by the way:))
And congratulations on the Skiffy Award!

Thank you for taking the time to do the translations! It makes me happy that non-English speakers/readers can get to share on the joy of fic. I know they have to take a lot of work, especially having to translate some of the play on words/cultural references that I'm so fond of ;)

And congratulations on the Skiffy Award!

Thank you! :)

It is a great pleasure to do! Yeah, there are some issues, but I try to find suitable phrase or at least explain these references etc. below:) And your Sheppard & McKay snarky dialogs are translator's dream - I can practically hear them in my mind:)

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...
