fic rec (SGA)

[astridv]

linziday wrote me this awesome McKay-centric five-things fic, and I must share right away:
Four Times Rodney McKay Got Shot Saving the Day (And One Time He Didn’t)
Gen; PG13; Rodney and team; action/humor/whump; ~5,000 words

I love the five things meme, and this fic is another great take on it.

“Come on, McKay,” Sheppard wheedled while they watched two teams gather on the nearby grassy field — each player carrying a hollow stick and clutching a handful of colorful hard berries. “It’s a kids’ game.”
And, yes, okay, the players were young. Pre-adolescent even. Still.
Blow. Darts.

Someone on DeviantArt sent me a Llama. *is puzzled*

Is LJ really slow or is it just me? The LJ servers taking the Easter holidays off?

via yhlee I found this very interesting post by sinnesspiel about Japanese speech styles (using the examples of Roy and Olivier) and how to translate them into English. Fascinating stuff, and very clearly laid out.

Llama? I didn't even know you could send people stuff there. But I see in my message that the llama badges are free, so I assume it's like LJ's snowflake cookies or squirrel hearts. dA also has some really unfortunate April Fools prank going on, doesn't it? I mean I assume that it's a prank that my icon is now a horrible animated Twilight blinking thing...

Bahah, I hadn't noticed the icon but you're right. Oh look, I'm team Jacob (cuz REAL men don't SPARKLE)

Well, Jacob's really pretty damn hot so, could be worse... ;) /shallow

LJ has been super slow the past couple of days, yeah. No idea why.

[astridv]

A couple of others sites were super-slow too, but the problem seemed to lie with them, not on our end.

Aanyway, the main thing is it works at all, and I already downloaded and printed your story for the thing-a-thon, and I can't wait to start reading. :o)
