Is there life on Mars?

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) [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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?

Hi hi hi!

I'm so sorry, I'm such a big emo dork. I shall try to be less of one?

*squints at you* ...did I friend you? *looks at date of last post* *brushes off cobwebs*

As for your banner, ask siri if it's still up in your webspace (I'm hosting it right?) there was an unplanned hiccup, I haven't noticed any data loss, but who knows. Also make sure your css is pointing to the right place. Also if LJ allows banners on free LJs. *G*

Life on Mars is way awesomer than Supernatural! (And I say this as someone who considers the one major perk of her new job at a Chevy magazine to be the chance to edit copy about Impalas, so I can dazzle Dean with my new knowledge if there is ever an interdimensional incident of much awesomeness.) Both contain manly man pain and homoeroticism and car porn. Not to mention evil clowns.

Ashes to Ashes is its spin off. Not as good, but still quite fun.

Interested? I might know where some episodes may have fallen off the back of a truck *cough*

I'm surprised I still know who I am, to be honest.

Ooh! OOH! WHY DID I NOT CLAIM I'VE SPENT THE LAST SIX MONTHS WITH AMNESIA?!

YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY OUT OF PRACTICE! QUICK! NAME A DISEASE YOU COULD HAVE!

I will check with her. However, it may be time for a redesign anyway. The Stendhal look's getting a little old.

Korsakoff's syndrome? A dissociative fugue? Um. Rickets?

Yay! I was wondering where you'd wandered off to. Welcome back!

[identity profile] trinityofone.livejournal.com 2008-04-18 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh, Slings & Arrows. I APPROVE.

Watch this space. ;-)

Thanks. Gout is a really difficult disease to live with. Hopefully by posting gratuitous Life on Mars fic, I can help raise awareness.

[identity profile] trinityofone.livejournal.com 2008-04-18 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed. Though so far it is making me cranky and sad without Martha.

But more importantly: I missed you at the Edison! We should try again sometime soon!

I was on the moon with Steve. *looks sheepish* I shall try to stay Earthbound this time!

*raises hand* Love Life on Mars. Have seen first 4 eps of Ashes to Ashes and am not sure if I like it, I spend to much time being horrified and embarrassed at the sexual harassment and sexism she has to put up with and saying Was it really that bad in 1981? OMG REALLY? I continue to love Gene Hunt though!

I just posted a link to a LoM/AtA vid that's really cool, in case you haven't seen it.

Looking forward to the fic!

[identity profile] trinityofone.livejournal.com 2008-04-18 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh, yes: I LOVE that vid. So clever and well done. Plus, that song is totally addictive.

The sexism in A2A doesn't bother me so much (I've dealt with worse shit at work recently); my issues with it stem more from the feeling that the creators don't really know what the show's about anymore. Still, the fun bits and the AWESOME AMAZING HOTNESS OF GENE HUNT sufficiently outweigh that, I think. ;-)

[identity profile] sweetvalleyslut.livejournal.com 2008-04-18 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yay, it's nice to see you again! I adore LoM, but haven't checked out Ashes to Ashes--is it worth watching?

[identity profile] trinityofone.livejournal.com 2008-04-18 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
It's definitely worth watching. It's also definitely not as good as LoM, but despite some headdesky moments, I enjoyed it a ton and am really looking forward to next season.

[identity profile] sarren.livejournal.com 2008-04-18 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
You've dealt with WORSE lately? How is that even possible in 2007?

I was reading the other day that the creators plan to do "bold" things with the plot (more than LoM!) because they're looking at three seasons.

Welcome back! I'll read your grocery lists!

Love Life On Mars, but not sure how much of it I've seen. Pretty sure I have the first season. I lost BBC America when I moved. I'm really curious about Ashes to Ashes. Tell me more!

Good to see you 'round these parts again.

And here I was just wondering about whether you were alive or not.
