GAAAAH! seperis posted a snippet of the next Teacher's Pet (finally!) and it's just killing me! How can something that started out as pure crack turn into...into...that!?!?

And speaking of screaming, I don't know how I missed it but thanks to mirichan (who is enjoying the wonders of SGA fandom...mwahahaha) I finally read Fuzzy Duck Smell by devildoll, a funny and adorable McKay/Sheppard fic. How can men laying duck eggs be so good? Really? *boggles* Besides the cracktasticness of the fic and the cuteness of the ducks (BABY DUCKS RULE), I love it when Rodney just kind of overpowers John. Kind of like in Oblivious by Shalott or Don't Tell by Jenn. Of course, I also love the clueless Rodney fics, too.

And some other recs I've been holding onto like an idiot:

Senary by dracostella is a short fic featuring Ronon as outsider with a different background. I am not crazy about the execution, but I like the concept. Numbers aren't necessarily universal or logical.

And for something else completely in the illogical (and mind-numbing) category, the completely delightful untitled SGA tax-fic by Myownspecialself, featuring poor Lorne and Ronon. How to explain IRS auditors to a denison of the Pegasus galaxy? Simple: "Think of Wraith, but in completely human form. With suits and ties and briefcases and big, nasty tax codes. Instead of sucking out your life essence, they go after your brains. Your sanity. Your wallet."

I haven't translated anything (other than song lyrics) in (what feels like) forever. I used to translate like I needed it to live. I miss doing it desperately, but I just can't get myself to do it. Everytime I try to start something I end up abandoning it...and that only serves to frustrate me more. Is this kind of how writers feel when they have writer's block?
