Had a busy day today which started oh so early but hear this? <...> This is the sound of an accomplished and really happy Mouse *nods*

Then I came back and two Parcels of Bliss were waiting for me. [livejournal.com profile] cain1999 the CD arrived and ohhhh so many songs *bounces* Also there is the Cold Case opening theme? Omg I love that theme, thanks! You rock *kisses* And [livejournal.com profile] stacy_l sent me the most wonderful SG parcel ever. As per usual, that is *g* But dude! Two comics and tons of pics. Of Vala. Of Vala/Daniel. And of Teal'c/Daniel/Cameron too. I fucking love all of them - they're so sexy and pretty! Thank you so much. As for the stargate key chain? *dies* It's simply perfect *loves* Thank you!

Without any kind of transition. I finally saw the preview for "Toxin" and it was so worth the wait. "I always have the best time with you guys" *dies* Oh this is going to be good. And when I say good, think Understatement of the Millenium *glassy eyes*

Speaking of good episodes, am watching Jake 2.0 - my favourite episode - and I wish I could find Jake 2.0 icons. I mean, I saw some at the comm but they didn't convince me. Pity *pout* And on the subject of the series? It's always fun seeing bsg2003!Boomer in there :-)

Now - because you can never repeat yourselves too many times - a fanfiction meme. Gacked from [livejournal.com profile] tallisen.

Fanficton
Do you read or write fanfiction?Or? Make that "and" and that would be yes. Well, that would HELL YES to be more precise :-)
When did you first start reading/writing fanfiction?It was not long after I got Clark - Clark 1.0, he went through lots of new lives - and after I got my 56k modem - ah memories! - so it was in 1999.
What was your first fandom?I want to say Highlander but technically that was Poltergeist: the Legacy.
First ship?Ship? As in "het"? Never read het. I started with gen - dark gen, at that - and then soon discovered slash. So if your ship also means slash, that would be Duncan/Methos.
What website do you use most?Tricky question. I visit 852 Prospect all the time but I guess I should say livejournal because I read so many stories overe there.
What do you think of Fanfiction.net?Er, well... I think it sucks. At the same time, it has its place in the fandom world, no matter what.
What fandoms have you written in?The Sentinel, Stargate SG-1, Numb3rs, Supernatural. Oh and Players, too.
Pairings?That I wrote? Jim/Blair, Jack/Daniel, Don/Charlie, Sam/Dean and Ice/Charlie. No wait, I also wrote Jim/Blair/Simon.
Any fandoms you would like to write in?Actually yes. Hustle would be awesome. Though can we talk about a fandom when you can't really find any fics?
Do reviews affect how you write in any way?Nope. But it certainly makes the whole posting on-line thing interesting and worth it.
Do you use a beta?God yes. I wouldn't dare post my stories otherwise. I'm not kidding, I wouldn't.
What ratings do you read/write?Read: every rating under the sun. Write: usually NC-17 but whatever rating exists is okay for me.
What warnings have you used on your fiction/read?On my fics: non-con, mental and physical abuse, sexual abuse, incest, disturbing images.... As for the ones I read, warnings like dark, non-con are usually an incentive for me to read. The CD though is a true warning and will keep me from reading. Unless I'm in *that* kind of mood. Oh and bottom!Jack in SG usually doesn't interest me at all.
Do you have any squicks?*thinks* *thinks harder* Well, I'm not sure I have. I mean, I guess I must have some but nothing springs to mind.
Do you Role-play online? If so, what?No.
Have you ever stolen something from another person's work?No. Also? If I had? As if I would tell you! But seriously, no. Then again, is there any original idea left in the world, really?
Favorite fandom to write/read?As in "singular"? RIGHT! Write: TS and Numb3rs are my favourite fandoms to write in. SPN was fun and might join the group later, who knows. Read: dude are your boxes big enough? But I'll be quick: TS, SG, XF, Numb3rs, SPN, Oz, Angel, HL etc etc etc...
Favorite pairing?Singular again? Wow, you're tough. But okay I'll try to use just one. Jim/Blair because they are *that* married. In the show!
Favorite writer/writers?No seriously between my gazillion fandoms we would we be here til tomorrow, I'll pass, kthxbai.
How long should a chapter be?However long the writer deems it necessary.
Do you write/read drabbles?I used to write some once upon a time but I don't anymore. Too complicated. And I read them sometimes, yes.
Any fandoms you avoid?Well yeah, those I'm not interested in, obviously.
Pairings you avoid?Ditto.
Warnings you avoid?As in, warnings that tell me I might not like the story? Character Death.
Do the number of reviews tell how good a story is?Well that's a bit tricky too cause, well, lots of - positive - reviews will tell that many readers liked the fic yes, but some stories which are good don't get a lot of them, so it's not always a clear sign of greatness. Case in point, some BNFs post stories that get a gazillion reviews and you sometimes have to wonder why exactly. Apart from them being BNFs, I mean.
What do you think of Mary Sues?Part of the fandom. As long as I don't have to read stories with Mary/Marty Sues, it's fine with me.
Have you ever flamed someone?No.
Have you ever been flamed?No. Not yet at least.
That's it, aren't you glad?As a matter of fact, I love talking about fanfic and fandom, so no, not particularly *g*

CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!


Awwwww this is the scene where Jake cries and just - WOOBIE! *hugs Jake*

Accomplished and really happy are one of the best feelings ever, so good for you.

Without any kind of transition. I finally saw the preview for "Toxin" and it was so worth the wait. "I always have the best time with you guys" *dies* Oh this is going to be good. And when I say good, think Understatement of the Millenium *glassy eyes*

SQUEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! Really, I have nothing else! I can't wait for Saturday!!!!!!

*thinks* *thinks harder* Well, I'm not sure I have. I mean, I guess I must have some but nothing springs to mind.

*loves you* It's just always so good to see other non-squickable people!

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-11-22 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm watching the preview over and again but HOW COULD I RESIST! Tai told me we'll ask her dad if we can download the episode on his computer so who knows, I might get to see it before my return to France but I think I'll just have to be patient and watch it on Tuesday. The sheer torture of it eeek! At the same time, good things come to those who wait and in this case? Squee-inducing things come to those people, whee!

It's just always so good to see other non-squickable people!

*high fives*

*hugs* I didn't have any Cold Case tracks...unfortunately...but I remembered that I got the intro sometime. It's better than nothing, isn't it! ;D

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-11-22 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
That opening theme is a thing of beauty so it's awesome *g* Thanks again :-)

[identity profile] marecagee.livejournal.com 2005-11-22 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Not yet at least.

(Also: Poltergeist: the Legacy.. Dude. Dude. I still regularly check legacyweb.com because, obviously, I am insane, but: Nick! And I have all of TalgoM's series on my palm! *g*)

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-11-22 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
i kant believe u didnt liek my fik omg!!1!1 u just dont know wat a real fik iz! i h8 u kay!11!

legacyweb.com? Dude. DUDE! That's the first site I ever visited when I got on-line for the first time at home! Legacyweb.com is the site that taught me what "fanfic" was! I'd clicked on every single page and there was one left, namely the "fanfic" one and I had no idea what it was so I tried it out and BAM! Revelation of the Century! I printed out so many of those stories! "No Son of Mine" is the fic that opened my eyes to the darker side of fanfic! I can't believe the site still exists, wow lol I'm going through the library again and talk about a trip down memory lane!

[identity profile] marecagee.livejournal.com 2005-11-22 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I bow before you, master of teen-writing; I just can't bring myself to write "teh". *g*

"No Son of Mine" is the fic that opened my eyes to the darker side of fanfic!

Oh my God, yes! I was 14 at the time and didn't pay attention to the warnings, and since my english wasn't perfect at the time I came to THE scene and I was like: "Huh? What's going on, here? ... oh my GOD!"

I printed out so many of those stories!

*giggles* So did I! J'ai tout un classeur remplis de fics, it's still hidden under my bed! And somewhere on my hard drive is the sequel to No Son of Mine and the stories Kethrineth posted to her long-gone website. I could never bring myself to delete those.

Isn't the lack of Nick/Philip slash in the world such a tragedy, though? *sigh*

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-11-22 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
The Son of Mine trilogy - I think there was like two sequels of some sorts - was one of my favourites - if not my favourite in the fandom. It was just too good. Well in the dark department, that is lol

Poor Nick *pets him* But he always hurt and angsted so well *sigh*

Et ok, j'ai encore le classeur et tout moi aussi lol I think I'll re-read some of those stories, I just can't resist lol

[identity profile] babycakesin.livejournal.com 2005-11-22 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
a) this Numb3rs episodes sounds too slashy for its own good!

b) what is it when people and using singular when they talk about fanfictions? Don't they know you at all!?

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-11-22 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
a) Seriously when [livejournal.com profile] cain1999 told me that Edgerton would come back soon I just couldn't believe it! I mean, sure in fanfics it would happen but fanfics are our fantasy lives, actual writers wouldn't do us the pleasure, would they? Except they totally did! DUDE!

b) I know! It's unbelievable *shakes head*

[identity profile] stacy-l.livejournal.com 2005-11-22 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
YEAH! I'm so glad the package made it to you safe and sound! : D

I was quite a pest when I dropped that off at the post office. I think I asked the lady three times if she was certain it would make it to you with the keychain inside and she was patient and reassuring, so glad she was right! : )

I'm glad you love the pics. Aren't they so pretty? I hope I can get my hands on some pretty ones at the next con too then I can send you some more Stargate love : )

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-11-23 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
That parcel was like Christmas before Christmas, there was so many things inside! I'll read the Lost magazing before going to sleep tonight. If I go to sleep, but that's another story lol

Thank you again, it was grand! And the pics are incredibly pretty!

1999? 1999??

Can we say precocious?? What were you...12?!?! when you started writing fanfic?

Have I ever visited Fanfiction.net? hmmm...don't think so. Do I want to? I'm soooo not with it.

You don't have any squicks? wow who'd a guessed?

Favorite Pairing...J/B...wooandhoo! oh yeah, that's my girl. *g*

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-11-23 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
What were you...12?!?! when you started writing fanfic?

How old you think I am again? *g* In 1999 I was 19 - and I think I wrote my first official fanfic around, what, 22? My first TS fic goes back to 2002, I think. Of course, when I was a teen I was writing stories already - wrote my very first original story around the age of 11 - and I even wrote two prequels to Quantum Leap and ST:TOS. At the time I had no idea what fanfic was of course - but when I look back to those stories, well I just make myself melt because aww baby!fanfic writer, you know? Sweet memories lol

Do not, under any circumstances, visit fanfiction.net. I do believe it has a place in the fandom and I wouldn't mock it, ever, but I just don't go there either. And to think back in the days - early days - I thought it was cool. Then again, I didn't know about those specific archives elsewhere and I was only slowly learning what a fandom was, so...

[identity profile] maaaaa.livejournal.com 2005-11-23 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
How old you think I am again?

ok so maybe i'm not so good at math...

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-11-23 10:36 am (UTC)(link)
LOL It's okay. And I guess it's my "fault" for sounding much younger than I am? Or something :-)

[identity profile] azhureheart.livejournal.com 2005-11-23 11:17 am (UTC)(link)
Oh ! I hate you ! Could you give me the title and band of the Cold Case song ? I love that show and it makes me cry almost everytime.

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-11-23 11:39 am (UTC)(link)
The Cold Case theme is Nara by ES Posthumus.

Also, maybe you won't hate me anymore after you click here (http://rapidshare.de/files/8035586/Cold_Case.mp3.html)? ;-) It's not the entire song, just the CC opening theme but I love it SO much it's wonderful enough *g*

[identity profile] azhureheart.livejournal.com 2005-11-23 11:42 am (UTC)(link)
