The apocafic is still late, and getting later - but I figure that's already majorly late, so I'll try and do the ficathon fics I have a chance of getting done on time, and then focus on that. It makes sense in my mind.

Also, I pretty much know what I want to write for sg1_by_hand, omg. But I might need to read up some good fics along that theme - or track down some comms that have information on how to write that sort of stuff. Anyone got any good recommendations? *g*

What else is new... I was thinking of this the other day: nonplussed! Why the confusion with this word? Many times I have seen it, and wanted to tell the writer, "I do not think it means what you think it means." I used it myself in a fic the other day, and debated for a moment whether I should change it, as people might misunderstand. But I have decided, NO! I shall promote good use of the word nonplussed (n. "A state of utter perplexity.").

Oh, and I made an animated icon that said, "Stargate. It's all about the hair.", but it's too big. I must sacrifice some of the Stargate hair pictures to be able to use it on LJ. But it's very difficult to choose which to drop. I can't drop Teal'c's frightening hair from Gamekeeper, or beard from Small Victories, or the pic from Redemption when he was finally allowed to grow his own hair, or Sam's greasy mop from Beneath The Surface, or her non-regulation long locks from just before that, or her mad hair after she takes the life jacket off in Moebius, or Daniel's hair from Need (evil bouffant omg!), or his pudding-basin cut from Into The Fire, or his hideous, hideous wig in Moebius. Jack, strangely, doesn't seem to actually have truly bad hair in any pics I can find, but I can't drop his lovely unshavenness in 2010, or the ruffled look from Fallen, or the strange dye-job from Moebius (Moebius is THE hair episode, I've decided).

Stargate: it really is all about the hair.
