I'm planning my NaNo for November cause that's just how I roll.

It's gonna be a SGA fic based around the 2iC's & 3iC's of Atlantis and what they go through.

But I need some help. I have a few things I need to flesh out.

We know Rodney is head scientist but is that ALL the non-medical scientists or just the physics/engineering? And if it is all the non-medical scientists, is it possible he has "sub-heads" for each seperate science? Like a Botany head, a engineering head, a Stargate science head, etc?

If that is possible (and it makes sense in an organizational standpoint), what sub science departments would there be?

Additionally, what medical divisions could there be? Pathology, Genetics, Nursing, etc.?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I have another LOLcat picspam for you all today, with certain pics reminding me of certain flist members (don't ask me why they remind me of you lot, they just do).

So, I got up this morning and received an email supposedly from UPS telling me to download something since they were unable to deliver my package due to an inexact address.

Unfortunately for whoever actually sent this, they sent this email to someone who's worked in a mail office for over a year and knows better.

UPS nor USPS (the US Post Office) will send emails about this sort of thing. If the address is inexact or something they simply return to sender. If there's not enough postage, they put this little orangey-pink slip in your mail box telling you to go to the post office to get your mail (and you have to make up the postal difference).

The letter itself was also iffy. It mentioned it was a postal packages; UPS doesn't deal with postal packages (they're parcels or if you're a driver, simply packages). Also, I didn't order and wasn't expecting anything sent on the 3rd of May. 3rd of June I did order something, yes, but it was from someplace I've ordered from before so unless they went screwy, this wouldn't be a problem for me.

This is exactly how I got it, paragraph breaks and all:

Hello!

Unfortunately we failed to to deliver the postal package which wasn sent on the 3rd
of May in time
because the recipient’s address is inexact.
Please print out the invoice copy attached and collect the package at our department.

Your UPS

Just to be sure, I called both my local UPS store and the USPS office, both of whom confirmed what I already knew and that there were no packages waiting for me.

Send this around, let people know. It looks legit cause its from "United Parcel Service" from mail@ups.com. If there's some skepticism, call your local Post Office AND UPS store. I have no idea what the attachment is since I didn't open it (and to add to the oddness, its a .rar file) but use caution when dealing with this.

So wild_force71 and I are writing a Stargate: Atlantis fic together called "The Shadows Grow". As the danger to Atlantis grows, Ronon recruits the legendary Shadows to fight alongside them. But capricious allies can be worse than none at all...



Don't know where or how we'll post it, but I'll let my Stargate flist know when we do. :D

Go check it out!

And if anyone would like to make icons/banners, I would appreciate it. My access to Photoshop is very limited right now.

wild_force71 pointed out that I didn't post any of the other SG/PR one-shots I planned, even though the second one is written.

...

So, uh, here you go!

A/N: This focuses mostly on an OC dealing with life in the Pegasus galaxy from Season one through…whenever I end it. :D Also, this is for my own personal prompt challenge of 50 prompts. If I get enough interest, I may LJ community the prompts.
Thanks: To wild_force71 (aka Wild Force Ranger on ff.net) for all her help as a sounding board. :D Also, Alice is her creation.
Side Note: I do not have banners for these done yet. When my brother crashed my comp, I lost photoshop so I have to go to the school comp lab to get access to the program. And I haven't had time lately. I will get them done and up soon though, I promise.

Story: Dillon's First Easter
Rating: PG
Fandom: Power Rangers RPM
Characters: Dillon, Ziggy, Flynn, Dr. K

( It's Easter and Flynn and Ziggy have some ideas how to spend it )

So....I decided to write a collection of six one shots dealing with Stargate Characters our original six rangers could have been related to but weren't. Here's One shot number 1!

( The Linguist and the Paleontologist )

Because I had to work all day today because my boss was out of town, I am relaxing by reading celebrity gossip. Here's what I found out so far that interested me:

1) Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell, who all took over Heath Ledger's roll in "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" is donating their pay for the project to Heath's daughter Matilda.

2) George Clooney accidentally rear-ended a woman. Instead of paying to have her car fixed, he bought her a brand new, 24K replica of her old car.

3) An American Who Shall Not Be Named snapped pictures during the Equus preview. Now Daniel Radcliffe's...er...assets...are splashed all over the net. The Link is NOT WORK SAFE!

4) Rupert Grint (Ron in HP) is apparently following in his co-star's footsteps; his next movie has a "steamy sex scene."

5) When Josh Hartnett and a mystery lady sneaked into a London hotel library for a quickie, they didn't realize they were being recorded by security cameras for posterity. Apparently, Hartnett took the news well and promised not to give a repeat performance. *giggles*

This is for anyone who hasn't already heard, PR United will be down for roughly two weeks. Sorry about this, but its unavoidable. 

Oh Gods, I had so much fun doing these.

A different take on an old Meme:

1. Choose a character from one of your fandoms.
2. Open your library (iTunes, winamp, media player, iPod)
3. Put it on shuffle
4. Press play
5. For every question, type the song that’s playing
6. New question– press the next button
7. Post results of your characters "soundtrack"

Because I am exceptionally bored…Here’s S.W.A.T!

 

Yes, I do have a lot of musicals. :)

New poem!

I wonder if I'll actually be able to get away with this....

A revised (and LONGER!) version of Fear.

My  thoughts are with the people of China as they deal with the Earthquake and its aftermath as well as the people of Myanmar who are dealing with the cyclone and its aftermath.

In case you haven't heard, JK Rowling is in New York court today fighting against having an unnofficial encyclopedia being published based on the HP series. Harry Potter Lexicon creater is trying to turn his popular fan site into an printed encyclopedia. JK Rowling, who has no qualms with people writing books critiqueing and praising her books, balked at the idea. Steve Van Der Ark, the creater, didn't analyse or anything--he's simpling taking all the info from the book and put it in a new, encyclopedic format.

"It gives me no pleasure to take legal action, but I am here today because I feel very strongly about an important issue that affects everyone and not just me. If books that plagiarize other works are permitted, authors, fans and readers stand to lose. There are lots of books in many languages that comment on or criticize Harry Potter and that’s fine. But the book in this case is different. It provides no analysis and virtually no commentary. It takes far too much and it offers precious little in return. I would just like to add that I am extremely grateful for the incredible support of Harry Potter fans everywhere."

If he'd been analysing the books, I wouldn't have such a problem with the whole thing. But he's not. He's simply re-wording and re-organizing everything. Additionally, he's NOT the sole writer of the Lexicon. At least three others helped write it but none of them are/were gonna get any of the profit. Also? JK has been planning her own encylclopedia for a while now, and proceeds from her book will go to charity. This directly cuts away from that. It just doesn't seem right to me at all.
