I have two things I want to be writing.

One is my [livejournal.com profile] stargate_summer fic, which ... well. It is about equal parts Actual Writing (and my Inner Editor is throwing /fits/ about all the inconsistencies and name mispellings and tense shifts) and Scene Notes, but I /don't have an ending/.

Which is not why I'm flailing, because really, I could be writing out the SN sketches into Actual Writing, and worry about the ending later.

Nope. The problem is with the story itself. It feels ... repetitive and redundant, both within itself and with respect to canon.

blather )

And the other thing on my plate is [livejournal.com profile] remix_redux. Which, idk, it started okay -- I found a story that I wanted to remix, and had bits of the remixing thrown at me, so it's about half done.

more flailing )

...this story idea used to be so freaking slashy it practically squeaked. Now it's turned into het. whaa. *blinks in confusion*

(okay, granted, it's het with a background of a threesome, but I haven't actually gotten to the threesome thing yet, plus one of the three isn't there, plus another of the three hasn't clued in to the threesome angle yet.)

I can has book! (_Pack of Lies_ by Laura Anne Gilman. Book two of what is basically CSI:Magic, only way awesomer.) I ♥ the 'verse that this and the Retrievers series is set in. And not just because I'm biased from knowing the author ;)

I finally, after much hair-tearing-level frustration, managed to get the new Minecraft build modded to work with the map program I use. It is happiness.

(Except for the bit where I fell into lava.)

Two more days until kittyday \o/

(Yes, there will be pictures when possible)

#

I am so far behind on the Stargate big bang story. I don't know why; I have the next bunch of scenes sketched out, enough that I have general knowledge of what happens but not enough that I feel like I've written it already; but I just. I don't even know.

(I have a bit over a month still. I can do this. And if not ... /shrug/ Pulling out feels like giving up, especially since I have no good excuse (the last time I pulled out it was because DW coding and stuff had totally eaten my brain), but it won't kill me.

#

Have not emailed the singing group yet. Still need to work on how I'm saying it. I am overthinking this like whoah, which doesn't help.

Managed to break one of my glasses (plastic, so it didn't shatter or anything, but meh) and also run over one of my grabbers (which never worked well to begin with but having the tip snapped off ... makes it just as effective, ironically) and had sigma in my head being all loud and obnoxious.

WTB robot body and better brain.

There is definitely FOP shit going on in my right thigh/hip/buttock. Grump. Not being able to tilt back really is not helping.

(they apparently have insurance approval so can go ahead and order the part. and of course they don't work on weekends so it will be next week at the earliest omgwtfarghflargl)

And between my hip and my back there is a part of me that wants to call up my doctor and go "hi I hurt gimme pain meds". Even though the pain is at a tolerably consistent, tolerably low level and I haven't even been taking OTC pain meds. WTF, that-part-of-me.

SBB update: have rewatched selected canon through TBFTGoG (so much love for that ep ♥). Thor's Hammer is giving me fits because the only reason they knew about Cimmeria was Teal'c, which means story babble ) I'll figure it out.

(Words written: 0. Words thought about: lots.)

(ETA: 1500 words! Am setting a daily goal of 750 words; kind of like NaNo but without as much pressure. Have a rough-draft version of the 'teaser' section. And a Scrivener project set up, which is of course the most important thing.)

Knitting update: On fourth row of ribbing. Did I mention I hate 1x1 rib? Especially surprise rib. (The pattern had no visible ribbing, but that's because the ribbing is sewn to the inside to form a cuff /facepalm/) but it is progressing. And getting faster. Though I am still worried I will snap one of my kabob skewers needles -- 2.5mm bamboo needles are very bendy and I do not know at what point bendy switches to breaky.
ysobel: Jack and Daniel staring at each other (Stargate)
So in preparation for writing my [livejournal.com profile] stargate_summer fic, I want to go back and watch canon. Not all of it, because I wouldn't be able to do that in time, but the relevant episodes.

The story necessarily takes place after Pretense, and I don't remember whether it comes before or after Shades of Grey. Need anything Apophis-related, Sha're-related, Tok'ra-related, quantum-universe-related, and episodes vital to the Jack-Daniel dynamic overall arc.

The list I have right now is:

Children of the Gods
The Enemy Within
Thor's Hammer??
Torment of Tantalus
Fire and Water
Hathor
Enigma if Tollan are necessary
TBFTGOG
WTSG/SL
In the Line of Duty
Need
Tok'ra 1/2
Serpent's Song
Out of Mind??/ITF
Point of View?? don't really like the ep, but quantum mirror
FiaD
Jolinar's Memories/TDYK
Pretense
Shades of Grey
(and I don't really need Crystal Skull at all but it's /fun/.)

So. Okay. That's a lot of episodes. 24, to be precise.

...Any suggestions for episodes which a) are on the list but I can skip, or b) are not on the list and should be?
