You didn't know that?! *blinks* Yeah when he does the "Outer Limits" story he references WHMS, as in "I was told to do it like that scene from WHMS and really just go for it".I'm a 60%er.
I will always place the mission first.
I will never accept defeat.
I will never quit.
I will never leave a fallen comrade.

and yes, it does help although I do plan on whumping Lorne (cut for those who're actually reading It's Complicated)Spoiler:I have Jack stuff him in a closet for his own protection then have him caught in a collapsing building
Whump that boy Row, whump him good!

Good afternoon, everyone.
I spent most of said afternoon wrestling with ff.net, and I realized that so far I have lead a sheltered and even pampered fanfic life. I am so used to sending my stories simply off to an archive owner or a fanzine editor.... I have never had to worry about editing/publishing stuff myself before.
Well, it seems that has changed now.
I have dug out a few of my old SG1 stories and put them on. If I ever find the rest, I'll drop them off there as well.
And - as promised - my up to now only complete SGA story made its way there as well.
So, if you have a minute, take a look and let me know what you think. I might even take up writing again. *she threatens*
Healing http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4780507/1/ - my Lorne ficlet.
I already told Mac this - who btw, deserves thanks for a great and very kind beta job - I re-discovered the horrible feeling of letting my "kids" go out into the world to be assaulted (a.k.a. read) by the big and often (especially now --- minus 15 °C again) cold world. It's a feeling only a mother can understand.

Eeeeeekkkk....I just realized that when the harddrive of my then one and only PC fried, I lost a good half of my stories. Okay, most of them still exist in printed/fanzine form, but I seem to have lost the files.
Darned!
Not a happy camper here.
I was so sure I had back up somewhere. Hmmmm...I have a gazillion old floppy disks, maybe one of them holds the ... *cough, cough* ... treasure.
Keep your fingers crossed for me, please. I'd hate to have lost all that work. I'd like to be able to prove - even if only to myself - that once I had creativity and even a little talent. One needs these reminders when nasty bosses keep chipping away at your self-esteem and make you feel like you are something that climbed in from under a rock.
Now, where did I store that external floppy disk reader that I was forced to buy because no one had floppy disk drives anymore.....?
I must be older than dirt. Does anyone besides me even remember floppy disks?
Joe? *whimpers*

Statistics????? *blinks*

Actually, I do. Even the 5'' ones. But then again... my dad has been working in IT even back in the GDR (yes, we DID have high technology ), so I kind of grew up with computers. Ah, the good old days when Windows 3.1 was a real big leap in software terms... (oh God, I just realized I read fanfic even before we had our first internet connection... and my no-nonsense no-freak dad introduced me to it)
Yes, with graphs and details and everything *is a happy little sociologist
12 GB flashdrive??? Wow, the biggest I have is 2 GB, maybe I should spend a little money and get a bigger one. Are they horribly expensive?
So, your dad...hm? Maybe he is a closet fanfic reader. Who knows.
And now I will hop over to ff.net and check stats all the time?
I am so anal-retentive. Do I need this?
I need more Lorne. Happy SGA viewing tonight btw.

*waves hands around* Ooooooo, I do! I used to use floppy (in fact the computer in my room that I hardly use has a floppy drive ) but then we got a computer that didn't have a drive so I switched over to jump drives and have been using them ever since
I am way worse. I run different spell checkers over everything, use beta readers, check and re-check everything a hundred times and still find spots where I messed up. It's that hidden perfectionist inside.
You too? I don't think I have seen a computer with a floppy disk drive in a long time. After floppys, I went on to CDs and these days everything goes to flash drives first and then as a second back up to dvds.
Think he would understand?
