Send up a signal; I'll throw you the line

[taste_is_sweet]

Today I am feeling discouraged in the writing and lonely in the heart, so after going over my FList to do some connecting out in the ether (always good to do if you're lonely), I thought I'd invite some of you guys over here to chat. Or at least the somewhat vaguer LJ equivalent.

So, would you like a sympathetic eye? Someone to bounce ideas off of? Something you'd like to rave or rant about? Mi comments son sus comments. Or you are welcome to email me at simple.carbohydrates AT gmail DOT comm.

Please don't feel obliged, though. I know almost everyone is at work and busy anyway. But you know, if you'd like to drop a comment, I'll be here. :)

There was a SGA-Wall-E fusion complete with illustrations awhile back, but I'm afraid I've forgotten who wrote it. It was awesome, though. :)

I personally have no problem with a Wall-E fusion myself, though I'll assume that the plot would be a little more action / adventure and less environmental angst.

I'm glad you like the icon. Wall-E makes me cry every single time I see it. Crazy little robot.

Oh! And if you're interested in inspiration or brainstorming help, I love to do stuff like that. And I've been reading a lot of H50 fic and I've watched a few episodes. :)

[gottalovev.livejournal.com]

ohh, thanks for the offer, that's awesome! I really have to put all my effort on the atlantisbigbang first because the deadline is coming sooner, but eventually I'll need to brainstorm about H50 =D (my primary idea at the moment is making it a 3 way crossover with SGA and Iron Man - that I have already going on -, complete with the bug-like replicators from SG1. How is this even my life?)

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

I can easily see how Stark Enterprises might get tangled up with stargates and replicators. :)

(I thought that you were only allowed SGA/SG-1 crossovers for the Big Bangs, though? Not that I didn't break that rule once myself....)

I've had a H50/SGA sci-fi (as opposed to crime solving) crossover idea in my head for about a month now that I would dearly, dearly love to see on the page but I'm not sure I'll ever have time to write. If you're ready for the H50 BB and still need ideas, I would be happy to share it with you. Though if I'm very lucky I'll have been able to start writing it.

[gottalovev.livejournal.com]

I already have 2 stories where I mixed up SGA and Iron Man, it's my fun place when it comes with crossovers... Tony is so much fun to play with :)

You should try your H50/SGA idea! though I agree, time to write is often a problem. *sigh*

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

Oh man--Sometimes I have to hang on to my willpower by the skin of my teeth, in order to keep writing original fic which may or may not be accepted by anyone (mostly may not at the moment) rather than leap into the fanfic. But I'll feel better when I get something else finished. :)

Maybe someone will want an H50/SGA crossover for SGA_Santa and I'll get paired with them. Heh.

[gottalovev.livejournal.com]

I do think I read that, the SGA one. I can totally imagine it, too.

and yes, it's a beautiful movie, chokes me up too ♥

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry I can't remember who did it! It had really cute hand-drawn pictures and was about John the EVE-esque battle robot who had spent thousands of (really boring) years protecting a stargate, and IIRC Rodney was a Wall-E type maintenance bot. And there was angst and electrical damage and robots in lurve. :)

[gottalovev.livejournal.com]

I know... I can't remember either. and in H50 it would be st-EVE and maintenance robot Dann-E ;) - and of course trying to come up with original plot/ideas -

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

Those names are astonishingly perfect. :D

StEVE's a BAMF security 'bot of some type who...uh... O_O

(Oh yes, here comes the crack) Who isn't able to stop his human creator being killed by some bad guy and goes AWOL to track the bad guy down, only to (naturally) run into Dann-E while he's hunting for him?

[gottalovev.livejournal.com]

I know, right? the names just fit

and wow, that's an excellent idea. eeeep. I might have to do that, though maybe not in a 40K bigbang. or maybe yes. I AM SO CONFLICTED.

though the other idea (with the SGA/Iron Man crossover) is actually for the H50 bigbang, not atlantisbigbang who do limit to crossovers with SG1é that one is all SGA based :)

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

Sorry. I'm sure you said that and I totally, totally missed it.

John and Steve would be so damn happy in those suits. :D

I'm sorry to have conflicted you, therefore! And I don't think you need any other ideas. Oops? :)

[kisahawklin]

I'm 98% sure it was danceswithgary. <3 both of you, and the H50/WALL-E fusion. :D

[gottalovev.livejournal.com]

OMG, IT IS!! (http://danceswithgary.livejournal.com/371469.html), thank you! it was driving me nuts!

and HA! don't encourage me in that madness. please. It's so tempting. But it will have to wait after mcshep_match and atlantisbigbang, though. ;)

you know, I've been trying to gather the guts to ask you to be friends for a while and now I just see you write Losers fic on top and I can't resist anymore... what do you think?

[kisahawklin]

What? We're not friends? I admit, I'm terrible at checking LJ (I really do spend most of my time over on DW), but I thought I friended you during match last year! D:

Yeah, of course!

[gottalovev.livejournal.com]

I know! travesty! *adds you back* (excellent!)

I do have a DW, (http://lou.dreamwidth.org/profile)lou (http://lou.dreamwidth.org/), but I'll admit on being pretty bad at checking my circle there. I could do more of an effort, though!

[kisahawklin]

Excellent, I have friended you both places (I'm kate over there). :D

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

\o/ You found it! Thank you! I'm reading it now. :D

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

You're right! Fantastic, thank you!

You know, I thought it was danceswithgary! But I'd remembered it as being hand-drawn, which she doesn't normally do so I figured I had to be wrong. (Shows you how good her illustrations were that I thought she'd drew them!)

I'm going to enjoy reading that again. :D Thanks for finding them!

[kisahawklin]

You're very welcome! :D

[kisahawklin]

Though you were replying to gottalovev and she did go to the trouble of finding the link, so I should... probably not take credit. /o\

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

LOL. I'll go thank her, but you did point out the person who wrote it! :D

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

Hey--love you too, baby! :D
