Is there life on Mars?

[trinityofone]

Well, so I told myself I that I would wait to come back until I had some really epic fic to post. And…I do. Only…it’s a big Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes crossover WIP.

*crickets*

Yeah.

Anyway, I’m going to be posting this—while still a WIP—for three reasons.

1) It’s clearly going to be REALLY LONG.
2) Posting the first part will mean I have to finish it, unlike the 10,000 other unfinished things on my HD.
3) siriaeve’s making me.

And yeah, also because I have been really, REALLY into these shows lately and have had no one to talk to about them (despite practically hitting ebrooklynw over the head and making her watch a few episodes), and I figure having something to “contribute” will be a good way to meet other fans. And/or, a good way to lure all you lovely SGA people over to this particular fandom patch. Though to be honest, I wouldn’t recommend reading my upcoming story unless you are familiar with the canon. It'll spoil everything and not make much sense.

HOWEVER! Interested in becoming familiar? Comment and let me know; I’m in a pusher-y mood right now and might be able to hook you up. *winks real subtle*

Come join my insanity! Write fic! Make pretty things! AND SO FORTH.

So, yeah. Sorry for the somewhat cockteasy post. Fic to come soon, probably tomorrow. More pimpage too. And I will try not to be a big lame wuss and disappear again.

Which I guess brings us back around to… Hi! How are you?

ETA: Wow, my LJ looks crappy. It's like coming back to a vacation house and finding it covered in cobwebs. (I mean, I assume it is—never actually had a vacation house myself.) Does LJ no longer support banners for unpaid accounts? That's kind of dickish of them. Also, has my color scheme always been this emo? Was I really into the White Stripes when I chose this? WTF?

Yes yes yes! Though in Communist Trinland, the episodes may acquire you. Stay tuned!

Woo! If I survive the weekend (helping friends move + Passover + catsitting) I think I'm going to compile a big recs post. AND THEN THE FANGIRLS WILL STORM MANCHESTER. YIS.

I did not duct tape your hair! ... only your legs!

[everysecondtues.livejournal.com]

Despite still not having found the time to finish Life on Mars, I would gleefully read it. I miss seeing you around on lj.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

My hair cascades down to my ankles like a chestnut waterfall.

[siria]

Oh, you dyed it again?

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

No, it naturally changes color. Just like my eyes.

[siria]

Oh, another relic of your mixed ethnic heritage? (Faerie-Vampire-Pixie-Werewolf-Irish-Jewish, right? Maybe just a touch of Elf.)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

You know I've never really been able to reconcile myself to my possible Elf heritage.

[siria]

I'm sure it would be easier if the Elves hadn't been such bastards to the Pixies. All that pointy ear-based discrimination.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's exactly like Morrissey wrote in his song, "Pixie Blood, Elvish Heart."

[siria]

Which inspired, of course, The Pixies to hit back with their polemic, "This Elf Ain't Gone to Heaven."

Hi! Hi!!

LoM is so amazing! *glares at the US remake*

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Thank you. That makes me :D

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

People are still writing! I just want more of them to, for I am greedy.

I may know someone. I will see if I can introduce y'all this weekend.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I think SGA fandom has spoiled me. It is just so big, and there is just so much of it. LoM is tinier, but maybe we can encourage it to grow? *vbeg*

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

You don't trust the Gene Genie? Aww.

Maybe I can help change your mind! ;-)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Thank you again for your encouraging pokes. :)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :) I shall try to hook you up, though! The show's very much worth making time for.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

So amazing. I watched it when it first aired and really dug it, but watching it again in preparation for A2A, I was totally blown away.

As for the U.S. remake...I am VERY wary. I really doubt that they will do it well. I think the best we can hope for is a remake that ends up being a totally different animal, kind of like the U.S. version of The Office. It's a pity that this isn't looking too good, because I think it IS an idea that could be adapted to a different setting and adapted well, since the city where the story's set is an important character in its own right. I'd love to see a Los Angeles version done well—especially as I am a native Angeleno—but yeah. Not holding my breath.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

No, I approve of your OCD spoilerphobeness, myself. So do you know where you can get your hands on some A2A action? As I've hinted, I "know a guy," but I was gonna start with LoM.

And you're very sweet. :)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

It's a deal! I will be the one in the dark trench coat and fedora!

[trobadora]

Any time! I'm good at poking. :D

[ranlynn.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the way part 2 ended does work pretty well as an 'ending'.

It'd just be kinda nice to see more of 'thown for a loop' Sheppard & confident Rodney.

See, the dilemma I'm having is, what if the choice between playing Gene Hunt for a third season coincided with being offered Dr Who?

(I'm still working on the power of wishful thinking aspect)
