So I graduated from my library program on Thursday, hurray! I'm glad that I'm done, although it's a little strange that for the first time in about twenty years, I won't be going back to school in September. Right now I'm hovering in a weird limbo where I'm working part-time and looking for a full-time job, but it still feels like just another summer between semesters.

Also, the author reveals for sga_genficathon have gone live, and so here's the story that I wrote.

Title: A Question of Endurance
Genre: Humor
Prompt: Don’t Look Now
Word Count: 2,570
Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Summary: “The Irtinani are a very cautious people. They do not easily welcome visitors to their world, and the rituals necessary to receive permission to travel there are – onerous.”

A Question of Endurance

Title: Reason to Celebrate
Rating: PG
Pairing: John/Rodney/Ronon/Teyla
Prompt: Zombie apocalypse
Word count: 948

( Reason to Celebrate )

Final Happy Thing: McDonald's fries, eaten out of a bag on the subway. Mmmm, salt and grease. I so seldom eat McDonald's food these days that when I do have some, it's a treat instead of just bad food.

So I finally finished the meme. It only took me three months! :D I'm kind of bogged down with assignments right now, and yet that just means more procrastination fic to write!

Also, I've started reading Watchmen, because I always like to have read the book before I see the movie, and the movie looks pretty damn cool. My older-by-a-year cousin lent it to me with his mom looking on.

AUNT: Wow, I would have thought you two were too old for comic books now.
COUSIN AND I: *expressions of disbelief*
ME: Blasphemy!
COUSIN: You're never too old for comic books!
ME: Also, it's a graphic novel!
COUSIN: *points* Yes! It won prizes!
AUNT: *laughs at us*

Here's the fic I wrote for sga_santa:

Title: Like Catching Sunlight in a Jar
Recipient: telesilla
Pairing: John/Rodney/Ronon/Teyla
Rating: NC-17, just to be safe
Summary: Even though John had been in the room at the time, he was still not entirely clear on how Teyla had managed to convince Woolsey to let them go on what was essentially a weekend getaway, to a music festival no less.
Spoilers: Spoilers for everything up to and including Remnants, 5x15.
Author's notes: The title comes from the wonderful song, Sunlight in a Jar, by the Lucksmiths. It served as inspiration for this story. This story is an AU where the team got together sometime between Quarantine and The Kindred.

Whoops, forgot to post about the fic I wrote for the sgahcchallenges Fall 2008 Fic Exchange.

Written for the sga_flashfic Five Things challenge.

Title: Five Times Meredith McKay Came Out
Pairing: Mostly gen, minor McKay/OC, McKay/Brown. Genderswap AU.
Rating: PG
Words: 4134
Summary: You can't change who you are.
Author's Note: Short version - this story takes place in an AU where McKay and Sheppard have always been women. Longer version - this is basically a slashy sidebar to my Storm Damage AU. So, it's a slash AU of a genderswap AU. Yes. I know.

Here's the fic I wrote for the sga_flashfic Not Dead Yet challenge.

Title: Past Prologue
Author: Ceitie
Characters: Gen AU. John, Radek.
Rating: PG-13 for language and horror.
Spoilers: Outcast
Words: 1,710
Summary: “No,” Radek answered, sighing. “Atlantis, Ontario, actually. You lived there for two years when you were a child. Do you remember?”
Author's Notes: My title is stolen from Shakespeare, and the plot of this AU is obviously stolen from a rather famous novel by Stephen King. The thought of rewriting the entire story as an AU makes me quail though, so this is just the beginning of that hypothetical AU. Which I'm not writing. Oh, and Stargate: Atlantis doesn't belong to me either.
