cybermathwitch: (beware of people)
Gakked from [livejournal.com profile] simons_flower Totally missing the point... of talk like a pirate day.

Yes, we all have little eye-patches. Yes, there's a ship sinking in the header. Yes, for today we're all updating our "Captain's Logs". All these things? Historical pirates. Johnny Depp-type pirates. It bugs me when people *willfully* misunderstand something in order to cause trouble. Dude. ::headdesk::

That said, I think it's quite cute. I need a stuffed parrot.

In other news, I'm disturbed that the little tab over the stickies on the wings of the Always pads now says "Have a happy period." (Probably Girly TMI, but yeah.)

And tonight, (or as soon as [livejournal.com profile] serendipityxxi looks at the draft one more time) there will be BSG fic!
cybermathwitch: (lee/kara)
Title: Eris

'Ship: Lee/Kara, Kara/Anders, Lee/Dee (only barely)
Disclaimer: Not mine. They're Ron Moore, David Eick and Skiffy's the SciFi Channel's. But Ron said we could!

Summary: After the Resistance, Kara has a new life as the Cylons' prisoner on New Caprica, but Lee is determined to bring her home.
Word Count: 11,824
Author's Notes: This was inspired by three things: Two of [livejournal.com profile] wisteria_'s fics: "Destiny's Rejects: A Cautionary Tale" and "The Greater Good", and the Season 3 promo trailer. It was supposed to be a brief, kind of dream-like fic of little snippets in time.

Then the muse ate my head. ::facepalm::

In the end, I wanted to really look at Kara's reactions to the idea and reality of motherhood, because it seems to be such a sharply divided issue in fic. I personally see it as something she never would have wanted for herself, but I wondered what it would take for her to accept it. And I wondered about Lee's reaction to Kara having a child. I also (because I am blatantly and unabashedly all about the Pilot!Love) wanted to "fix" the end of season 2. Which became more complex than I ever would have guessed (though I should have!) because try though I might I just couldn't make Anders into a total bastard. He really is a nice guy, drat it all. ;)

Shout-outs and thanks go to the following:

Brian, for giving me amazingly evil good ideas and insight regarding Leoben in particular. And for listening to me ramble about this for the last 3 weeks.
[livejournal.com profile] elflore, and [livejournal.com profile] serendipityxxi for reading every variation, paragraph, and proposal, usually at least three times as I worked this thing out and into its current form, and for offering skads of advice, opinions, suggestions, and occasional snippets of dialogue. I take full responsibility for any errors or faults remaining in the work. Quite likely if you find some, it's because I decided to be stubborn and do it my own way. ::huggles Elf in particular on that front.::
[livejournal.com profile] ez_as_pi for reading the final draft and giving me a fresh perspective on the mostly finished product. (As well as a hell of an ego boost. ::hugs::)
[livejournal.com profile] technosage for giving me prompts/suggestions on interactions between Kara and Eris. Was this the kind of thing you meant?

Yes, there is a sequel in the works.
