Okay, LJ ate my last attempt to post this. Trying again...

Holy moly, it's something SGA-related that my non-SGA friends might actually be interested in! Quelle shock!

But yeah, basically I posted a S1 mix over at _rfa. You should check it out! You may still be scratching your heads re: all this Stargate stuff I've been blathering on about, but free music...free music is universal.

This is the tracklist:

I THINK WE'RE GONNA LIKE IT HERE

There are also pretty pictures! Pretty pictures of pretty boys (and girls) are universal, too.

*sigh* There's really nothing to tell! I'm under huge academic pressure, so mostly I study, and when I'm not studying, I mostly do dorky fanish things like make SGA mixes. So like Berkeley, but with accents.

I'm highly aware that this is not what people wanted to hear, but...

Mirah!

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Yes! I love her so, so much! I even have a special MirahMix that I listen to when I'm getting ready in the morning!

And OT: not to be all weird and pressure-y, 'cause I know you probably don't care about SGA, but if you have a chance, I'd love to hear what you think of Dæmonology (http://www.livejournal.com/users/trinityofone/25344.html#cutid1), the SGA/HDM story I wrote. What with your being my former instructor on the subject, and all. ;-) (No, seriously. I took some liberties with the HDM canon, and I'm really curious as to what you'd think.)

Okay... *runs away*

Just finished it. (I took a couple days in between the halves...) I don't know a single thing about SGA, so I'll have to trust the other people that your characterizations and choice of daemons are appropriate.

It bothers me that the taboo was so easily broken--for me that's the beauty of the taboo, that in absolutely no situation, however dire, can it be broken. The heartwrench of it! That said, the suggestion of studying daemons piqued my interest. That was the anthropologist in me saying, "It's cultural! Of course the taboo can be broken, it's not essential to the state of humanity!" But then the method of 'studying' was not what I had hoped it to be--proving by acclimatization rather than empirical evidence. So I would have liked to see more science-of-the-daemon before the proposition, and because you have an incredible mind for this type of thing you would surely be able to write what would suit my needs. I recognize that I'm being selfish and that doing this would pretty much undermine the purpose of your story (it sounds like I don't but I do) but that's what I would have liked to see.

As always, I enjoy reading your fiction (especially when I know what it's based on), but I must also berate you for spending time at your computer when there's life in a new exciting place to be lived! Things to see! People to do! Get on it!

Thanks for reading it. I did feel like I rushed the ending a bit (written in a day--shh!) and the stuff that is, I think, at least somewhat satisfactorily resolved works a lot better if you know, say, how reveal nothing nothing nothing! John is. As for the science-of-dæmons bit: I was secretly with Rodney (and with you), but the story--and in many ways, HDM canon--demanded Radek's opinion to triumph. Too easy to end up with a creepy Gobbler type situation--eek!

Anyway, thank you again to taking the time for something in which half the canon was a mystery to you. With fanfic, I have a tendency to write and move on--what's the point of revision?--but I very much agree with a lot of your points, and if I ever write anything else in this hybrid 'verse, I'll definitely keep them in mind.

Heh. I'm glad I could finally push you over the edge. Season 1 comes out on DVD November 15th! *vbeg*

Oh, and I hope you like the songs. ;-)

Anna: You didn't go all the way to Ireland to write FANFIC!!!! If I see one more post about it, I think I'm going to scream. Where's the stories about your city, your school, the new friends you have? Where are the pictures? Your hopes and expectations for your new environment?? If you tell me you went half-way around the world to sit in front of your computer all day I will have to kill myself.

[youwerefabulous.livejournal.com]

Amen. I was getting ready to write almost that exact same comment. I want to hear about Irish adventures!
