Odyssey 5, you say?

[castalie]

Not that I want my journal to turn into RL central but The Best Friend Sandrine is pregnant! We - note how I say "we" though I'm obviously not her husband - were waiting for the official result and it came today and it was positive! After last week, it's the kind of wonderful news I needed. Also, I might become a godmother for the first time so er yeah, definitely happy about the news ;-)

Now on the fannish front. The LMFA Committee - we don't joke around in the Sentinel fandom, do we? - started sending their notifications re: the award and it seems that out of the several stories by yours truly that were nominated - yes, it was a nice ego booster, thanks - one got enough nominations in the end to qualify for the LMFA ballot. So! For the first time ever, I'll be one of the authors in the list! Sure, if you dislike the idea of fic awards you won't care at all but dude! My "Night" series got enough nominations to make it to the official ballot! My baby! *hugs tight* No, it doesn't change anything re: my loving my fics and all but yes, it's quite lovely all the same *g*

Speaking of TS fics: spikedluv strikes again and offers us two gems stories for the price of one here - be warned though, the hotness might kill you ded. I also realise I have lots of fics to read, in particular lots of Don/Charlie as it seems tons have been posted the past week. Lovely *g*

Btw no new Numb3rs this week? Is it one of those fucking annoying hiatus? Or is it just for one week? One thing is sure though, it sucks!

Also, while trying to find out when Numb3rs was gonna air exactly on M6 - not that I'm obsessed or anything - I wound up cruising the W9 site and read about that series they aired, namely Odyssey 5, and discovered that Christopher Gorham was in it! Though with a different haircut than in Jake 2.0 or Medical Investigation - again, not that I'm obsessed or anything - and since I kinda really like the guy, I suddenly got curious about the show. Now I'm pretty sure I read about it somewhere on my flist, I'm thinking estrella30's LJ? But anyway, I tried to find a torrent for it, found one for the entire series but it wasn't in good health so no real luck here... In any case, I found another show I'd like to try - no matter how bad it might turn out to be in the end because, let's be honest, I can't say I heard that much about it and it usually doesn't bode so well for a show. But whatever.

PS: Just realised one of my newest icons was pretty perfect for this entry - well, the TS part of it, obviously - so GIP ;-)

Double squee for you, Mouse!
*hugs*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

That was quite wonderful as news go *nods* Now of course, we have to hope that everything will go well for her and the baby, but right now, it's squeeing time *g*

*scours the 'net*

There are Odyssey 5 episodes in the eMule network! Strange thing is, most of them seem to be in French, Spanish or German, but if you don't mind not hearing the original voices, French should be fine. There are some in English, too.

Or is Clark too reluctant to get himself acquainted with a new program? ;-) You can get a lot of stuff that is too old to have torrents...

[castalie.livejournal.com]

French, Spanish or German? Funny that lol I guess if I can't really find any English versions elsewhere, the French will work just fine *g*

Clark might be a little reluctant to get himself acquainted with a new program but he'll cope lol

Thanks for the heads up *g*

[enigel]

You're welcome!

And because I suffer from ADD sometimes and read things from the end to the beginning: congrats for the story! *crosses fingers for a win*

re: Numb3rs - according to epguides.com the hiatus is just a week. Phew, let's hope it's true. (I didn't even know about it before reading your post...)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

read things from the end to the beginning

LOL I suffer from the same problem *g* And thanks!

See? My entries do have a point, they give you intel you didn't have. And your comments have one too since you gave me the answer I wanted, so thanks *g*

[foofasaurus.livejournal.com]

I just wanted you to know that it's totally your fault I'm now subsribed to sn_slash. *whimpers* I was trying to hold out, and then you came along with your comments about Sam nailing Dean through the mattress and... ... ... (sorry, brain shorted out at the mental image) I couldn't help myself and went looking for fic.

*shakes fist*

(♥)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I'll take full responsibilities, no problem. I'll also silently squee about it because yay! My "problem" with Supernatural slash is that people tend to write Dean as the top and Sam as the bottom during the smut and I'm a huge bottom!Dean lover. But hey, we all have our crosses to bear, right? lol Also, it might be the push I need to write my own Supernatural slash... once day *g*

(you're welcome lol)

[foofasaurus.livejournal.com]

I have the same "problem". ^_~ I don't know quite how to express why it is that Dean on the bottom seems so right and natural to me, but it does, and I am the saddest ever that there isn't more bottom!Dean Wincest.

(I dunno, I'd say it's because Dean often comes off as more 'needy' of Sam than Sam is of him, or how for all his swagger he's essentially more vulnerable at times, or how Sam is far better at controlling him than he is of controlling Sam, etc, etc, but I don't necessarily see those as 'bottom' traits, so I hesitate to use them as reasons, you know? But when I think of Sam and Dean being hot for one another, it's always Sam making the first move, Sam taking control, Sam fucking Dean's brains out...)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Dude! I see exactly what you mean and 100% agree *nods with vigour* It's pretty nice even for I kinda felt a little lonely in that fandom so far *sad bottom!Dean lover*

[foofasaurus.livejournal.com]

Awwww, I know how that can be. Hopefully, as the show goes on and more people come into the fandom, more bottom!Dean people will show up.

I'm so excited and giddy over coming into this fandom. XD So much so that I'm actually considering writing fanfic for it myself. That is, if I can get their voices down.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

more bottom!Dean people will show up.

Amen to that *fingers crossed*

So much so that I'm actually considering writing fanfic for it myself.

Wonderful news! Hope Dean and Sam will talk to you soon *sends good and inspiry vibes your way*

[estrella30.livejournal.com]

dude, I am *totally* the culprit for O5 - it's actually a *fantastic* show and Christopher Gorham is adorable in it. Sadly it was cancelled like, mid-plotline so it kind of hangs there unfinished, but it's a wonderful show.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I knew it was you, yay! Did you memorise or tag those entries? I'd like to read them more properly now... and Christopher Gorham is always so adorable, how does he do that??

[estrella30.livejournal.com]

(omg I LOVE THAT ICON!!)

And I have to look for you for the entries, I didnt memory them and I hate tagging *g* I will find them though!!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

(Thanks! It's one of my very own - ie I made it and everything *is proud*)

And thanks again, you're a doll *g*

[drinteot.livejournal.com]

Congratulations on the LMFA nominations! Well deserved.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Aww you're such a doll, thank you *hugs* I have to say feedbackers such as yourself make the fic posting a great experience ;-)

[crystalskull.livejournal.com]

Congrats FP!

*Does a dance*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Thanks! *beams*

[crystalskull.livejournal.com]

Also, as an aunt, be totally prepared to want to strangle and spoil the kid at alternate intervals.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

LOL I can see it already *g*

[crystalskull.livejournal.com]

Once they start bouncing on you while you're on the phone with your SO, it is all over, they win.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Such evil creatures!

[crystalskull.livejournal.com]

Don't let the cute faces fool you, they only lose the touch of evil when they hit, like, 10.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

But wait... don't they enter teenage years after that? Man, their evilness never ends, does it?

[crystalskull.livejournal.com]

Yeah, so enjoy ages 0-1 as long as you can, then pretend you don't know them until they hit 18. Or, you could just do what I did and resign yourself to years of putting up with them. It's a trade off.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I'll remember your advice, thanks!

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

Congratulations on being a godmother-to-be, hun! And on your nominations as well ^_^!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm so excited while at the same time trying to come to grasp with the concept: Sandrine.is.going.to.have.a.baby! We were twelve when we met and now? She's a married woman and a mother-to-be woman and just - wow!

And thanks re:the nomination too *g*

[carodee.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, the Night series rocks hard core. *g* Congrats on a well-deserved nom.

Oh, and the godmother thing. *g* Great news. (I am such a dorky fan. FIC FIRST ALWAYS!)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm so proud of that series of mine - I take so much pleasure writing it, it's quite wonderful to see it nominated ;-)

And dorky is good lol Thanks *g*

[spikedluv]

Hola! Thanks for the rec, btw. And also, a question. I just got notification that one of my fic got enough noms to qualify for the ballot as well, but I'd never even received notification that it had been nominated at all. Do they send out two notifications...or do you just need to check the site...or how does that work, if you know. Thanks!

As for Numb3rs, I was bummed to find out there wasn't any this week! I think, though I'm not 100% certain, that it might be because of the World Series (baseball), even though it's on another channel, they might not have wanted to lose viewers to it? Just a guess. But it will be back the following week, yay!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Hola chica!

As far as I know, they only sent the notification we just received - congrats too, btw *g* I only know other of my stories were nominated because turps33 told me about it and I was curious and excited enough to check it out by myself - they have - or had - a page with all the temporary nominations...

See? This is why I dislike sport, they cancel my beloved shows for it *sigh* Though I have to say if they showed baseball on French tv, I might watch it too, but it'll be a secret between you and me ;-) And you're the second one to tell me about the one week thing so yay! Thanks *g*

[nicci-mac.livejournal.com]

congrats on the noms hon. Very well deserved!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Thank you! *beams*

[audrarose.livejournal.com]

wheeee!!!

Congratulations, sweetie!! *twirls*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Audra, on all account *g*

What about you, then? I mean, how many nominations did you get?

Also, I already asked in my comment to your Baby entry but it might take some time for you to answer them all so I'll ask again here - I need your snail mail address, please? Thanks *g*

[audrarose.livejournal.com]

hee! I got some, too -- I did a "Go, me!" post just a few seconds ago. (hey, it's my journal, right?)

I'm sending you my snail address right now. Plus a picture of my little one. He's so little!! *adores*

And tell your friend Sandrine congratulations, too!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Dude if we can't even congratule ourselves in our own journals, then what's the point of having one, right? Your "go, me" post was required *g*

Pic! YES! Thank you *g*

I sure will ;-)

Yay You!

[maaaaa.livejournal.com]

The Night series rocks. I love love love it. Congratulations on the nomination. *hugs*

Wonderful news about the new mama to be. Life just keeps on keeping on...it breaks our hearts one moment and then fills it with joy in the next. And lookee you...a maybe godmama! sweet.

Re: Yay You!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the ever present enthusiasm and encouragements, Maaaaa *g*

And yes, it does - keeps on keeping on. Sandrine waited after the funeral to tell me she thought she might be pregnant because she didn't feel like talking about a birth so soon after a death in my family but like I told her, that's how it works... one leaves another arrives. It might sound corny, it's still true...

[sockich.livejournal.com]

Just flying by to say congratulations on your getting to the official ballot thingy (and why do I get the feeling I'll be reading TS in the very near future, even though I've only ever seen a couple of episodes...oh well).

Also, congrats to your best friend and your probable future godmother position.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

and why do I get the feeling I'll be reading TS in the very near future, even though I've only ever seen a couple of episodes...oh well)

Because you're a smart, smart person? And because you know resistance is futile *nods*

Thanks for all the congratulations *g*

[jessriley.livejournal.com]

Yay, way to go!!!! I'm so happy for you. It's such lovely news to hear, especially at the moment. Be very proud of yourself!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, I certainly needed wonderful news like that - great news all around this time *g* And thanks! *beams*
