the unending fic

[donutsweeper]

My little SGA/TW crossover fic for karaokegal 's "Come As You Aren't" Party is now over 10,000 words long. And not yet done. Someone stop me. Please.

Now why would I want to stop you, when I enjoyed what you had so much? *g*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

But it keeps morphing... it was supposed to be this little story... *sigh* you are evil.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

I'd apologize, but you wouldn't believe me. *eg*

I am so looking forward to everybody's Halloween stories.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Lol. Are you writing something for it?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Yep, sure am. I like it at the moment. I go back and forth a lot. *g* It's almost twice as long as anything I've posted before, but it's still only 3200ish words.

Theta/Koschei, which is the Doctor and the Master back in their academy days, which I kinda swore I'd never write. The bad thing is that Koschei (who became the Master) seems to have taken up residence in my head. So this may not be the temporary insanity one-shot I intended...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Oh that's right, I remembering you mentioning that now. Temporary insanity, long term insanity... Welcome to the crazy train! It has donuts!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

I like the crazy train. ::takes donut::

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Can never go wrong with donuts!

My McKay complains a lot, he thinks Jack flirts too much... *sigh* I really am going to try to tie this fic up soon.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

he thinks Jack flirts too much...

::cough:: Especially if he's flirting with John ::cough::

Seriously, though, good luck with the wrapping up!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I haven't *really* gotten there yet (J/J flirting) right now I'm just trying to end the sucker. Why I thought it was a good idea to finish the adventure I'll never know. I must have been suffering from lackadonutitis at the time. Blame the donuts.... not my fault....

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Well, Jades asked for more and then I asked for more, so you can blame us, too. *g*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

So I should blame you two and not my lack of donuts? I can live with that.

I'm giving it a few more days before I just take a hatchett to the whole thing and toss it out the window.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Don't toss it! Throw it my way and I'll squee over it, and then you'll like it again.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Lol, squeeing would be nice! Hopefully work'll be slow tomorrow so I'll have a chance to work on it. I want to try to finish the sucker (or at least have an ending in sight) by Monday at the latest. When I get there I'll throw it to you and Jades to rip apart at your leisure.

squeeing... I'm not sure that's actually a word.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Sounds great! I'll look forward to it.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Eeep! No!! Definitely toss it in our direction - taking a hatchett to fics is the beta's job... ;)

I'm so chuffed that you've gone on with it, and can't wait to read it!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I hereby promise to let you be the one to attack it with the hatchet. Maybe you can keep the camel from flirting with Rodney.

The bad thing is that Koschei (who became the Master) seems to have taken up residence in my head.

Ah, so that's where he's gone! Can I have him back when you've finished with him, please? *g*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Hmm...I think Koschei's on the wrong side of Delgado!Master to be too helpful for Master Plan. But it comes back to Simm at the end, so maybe that'll work. *g*

It won't be me who stops you, either. I think an SGA/TW crossover would be just the thing to ease me into SGA fic.

Is this "come as you aren't" because you've never written SGA before, or some other reason?

Finally, 10,000 words. ::boggles:: (Though I'm starting to learn that I don't have a good sense of word counts. The last thing I wrote was going to be about 700, I thought, and ended up 5800. How does that happen?)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I've never written anything other than TW before. Well, other than a 'year that wasn't' Jack centered fic, not sure if that counts as DW or TW.

I've never written anything nearly as long as this before. One 7,000 word fic and a handful of 3-4,000. This one was *supposed* to be between 3 and 4 thousand... but kept going and going...

I've read a lot of SGA, and watch it. And it's vaguely believable that Jack could cross into their universe so I figured, why not? And thus the insanity that is this x-over fic was born.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*laughs hysterically* Hon, I'm at 10k, and I'm barely halfway through the first chapter!

So I'm afraid the only help you're going to get from this end is enabling, not discouraging :) Besides, from what I read, it's gonna be great. Why would we stop you?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

You enabler you!!!! Trying to drag me over to the dark side, eh? All I'm saying is the dark side better have donuts!

[unfeathered]

Well all I can say is, thank goodness I'm not betaing that one! *g*

Go you! I'm looking forward to reading. :-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Lol! The original version's (3000 or so) been beta-ed. As has the slightly expanded original version (6200) it's just the little bit I added on that'll need another go through, if the little bit ever decideds to be done....

bloody fics with minds of there own...

[laligin.livejournal.com]

I'm not stopping you. That sounds like fun, if only I'd seen more than the first series of Atlantis.

I managed to tie up my Ianto/Gwen (*gag, retch*) within a couple of thousand words, myself...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Ianto/Gwen? I'm, err, so sorry... You deserve donuts for that.

I'm SGA piece is set during second season so hopefully you won't be too confused.

[moothril.livejournal.com]

If it has Jack/John porn, or even hints of porn between those two, that would be the most amazing thing ever. I've been looking for Jack/John for a few months now, but haven't found it...

Of course, any SGA/TW crossover fic by a good writer fascinates me, so I'm sure it'll be a fun read no matter what you're doing with it. :)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

It has Jack/John flirting, but nothing more than that, sorry. Less than 12 hours till you'll be able to see for yourself! (all 12,000 words of it!)
