Dooom; irony

[trinityofone]

As some of you may know, amireal and I have been working on a loooooong (60,000+ word) story. We're editing it right now, and we'd like to know how you'd like to see it posted. So if you would, there's a poll here which you could do us a big favor by filling out.

Then, in the category of "irony," or possibly, "life kicking me in the metaphorical balls," there's this pretty little situation:

1. I need clips to apply for writing jobs.
2. All my clips are housed at the website of the paper I used to work for.
3. This website is down "indefinitely."
4. I called to see if I can get my clips some other way. The person now in charge of the paper's library? A guy I dated and dumped.
5. Surprise, surprise--he won't return my calls.

*cries*

At least I have these S3 Promo Cast Shots to console me. (Not what I would consider spoilery, and I'm a pretty big spoiler-phobe. But, y'know, YMMV.) OMG THE HOT.

Have you tried getting the clips out of Google's cache? Or waybackmachine.org?

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I'll try that, thank you!

[amezri.livejournal.com]

If the clips were at any point live and public, you might try using http://www.archive.org to seach for them.

The S3 promo shots are HOT. The leather? Yeah. Guh. I want a leather jacket.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I'll try that, too--thank you!

Leather = yay. But even more than that: Rodney all in black. GUH.

[fairestcat]

Rodney in all black is just SO many kinds of GUH. David Hewlett, how do you keep getting hotter?

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I keep saying: there are laws of physics which he must be defying. Somewhere, Rodney is very confused. (But not unhappy.)

Actually! That should be a fic. People start slyly mentioning that Rodney keeps getting exponentially hotter (maybe Miko made a chart), and word gets back to him. And you know, he's not objecting or anything, but it doesn't make sense! He must investigate! And, y'know, have sex with John. The end.

Well, it's a good thing I read this at home, before I went to work, cause the hysterical laughing would have necessitated the Drs I work for call in a psych consult.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Just doing my job, sir! *g*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_lemon_lyman_/]

Pretty sure doing your job, in this context at least, would involve actually writing the fic (which, if you did, I might have to promise you my first born child, or whatever)

[amezri.livejournal.com]

I approve of this fic idea ^^ If... you know... you were to need my approval, which you don't :x

[flaming-muse.livejournal.com]

OMG they are all so pretty in the pictures I could cry. And the clothes! Why do I not have the complete new season on my TV right now? Or, better yet, why do I not have the characters in my living room right now? I'm not greedy; I'll settle for just John and Rodney. *waits*

Best of luck getting your clips.

[riva-today.livejournal.com]

What if you have a friend call Mr. Being-a-buttcheese and ask about getting or ordering copies of the articles for 'research purposes'? If he gets suspicious that they're asking for all of *your* articles, have them throw in a few others to throw him off the trail.

[turtlespeaks.livejournal.com]

Oh that sucks! *hugs* Good luck with that.

Is there anyone else to talk to? Or can you get the clips from another sourse like googlecashe or waybackmachine??

Also, yes, the hotness will console you!

[siria]

HOLY JESUS.

TRIN.

RODNEY IS WEARING JOHN'S BLACK SHIRT OF SEX.

I JUST. I CAN'T EVEN.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I KNOW.

I think John dressed Rodney up in his love. Or Rodney's clothes got destroyed during sex, and he had to borrow some of John's.

Either way. SWEET CHRIST.

[siria]

I take it as confirmation! Utter, canon proof! Kind of.

I hereby dub this the Season of Sex! GUH.

[birdsflying]

:pokes that bloke with a stick: Jesus, he's being delightfully unprofessional.

S3 promo picures: i have only seen the two that Siri vetted as being spoiler free and OH MY GOD. jdgbdsjfb,dzjkfghlkdfnglkfdghkfdrjhgkdfjbg!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lamardeuse.livejournal.com]

OMFG THE FIRST ONE WITH JOHN AND RODNEY IN BLACK MY FUCKING OVARIES JUST EXPLODED GUUUUHHHHH.

[amireal.livejournal.com]

Leather.

LEATHER.

Excuse me while I prepare to scrape some fangurls off the floor.

First me.

*jesus* LEATHER.

[nenar.livejournal.com]

If you need some help, I can possibly drop by the office and pick up the clips, provided they are easily accessible. I'm working on campus everyday from 9-5, so I don't have a lot of down time, but I'm willing to pick them up and mail them to you.

I'll be in L.A. starting next Friday night until the following Thursday. When can we get together?

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

That's a really generous offer, and I may take you up on it. The problem is, you'd still have to deal with the guy in question, and I'd have to ask you to snag--well, pretty much everything I wrote for them. Let me see if I can get them off a cache site, and I'll let you know? Thanks again.

We can get together anytime, I think! Unless I suddenly get a job, I pretty darn free. I can't wait to see you!

[kudra2324.livejournal.com]

love the icon :).

is there anyone else from the paper you can call? on the pretense that "you weren't sure you were calling the right person because he didn't call you back"?

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Red-haired boy? Um. No?

(Oh, wait. I know who you mean. NO. He didn't work at the paper.)

I don't, you know, have evidence that that's why he's ignoring me. Besides, that would be wicked embarrassing. I'm gonna see if I can solve it another way.

[shusu.livejournal.com]

Jason's chest is flushed.

*returns to enhancing Shep's crotch area*

[shusu.livejournal.com]

Done! (http://shusu.livejournal.com/765394.html) At least, one of the pics.

[melagan.livejournal.com]

They seem Extraordinarily pretty this season. Kind of like they're all ramped up for the all that sex the aliens are going be making them do this year ;)

[dancinguniverse.livejournal.com]

You know, the boys are mighty pretty, but can I just say that Tori is smokin in the second shot?

[springwoof.livejournal.com]

They are so pretty...sigh....
I like the one on the steps. sitting on steps=hot. not sure why that is....

[enname.livejournal.com]

There has been *swoon* with a side of *drool*

Like, speechless. Also, with promo pics like that? I might just expire before the season starts.

[wychwood]

OMG THE HOT.

OMG RODNEY IN THAT BLACK SHIRT AND JOHN LEATHER JACKET JOHN BLACK RODNEY GUH

(Also, Elizabeth: wow. That new hairstyle is really working.)

[everagaby.livejournal.com]

OMG new uniforms?!
I. It. I. *dies of the hot*
Rodney! Black t! John! Leather jacket!

Dear Atlantis Producers and Costume Designers;
OMGLOVEYOULONGANDHARD.

~me

P.S. Please have John in denim more often. Because, you know, crotch-kickingly hot. Duh.

[neery.livejournal.com]

What an asshole. Can you maybe get someone else to call that guy, or is this something you'd have to do yourself? Anyway, best of luck!

Have you seen the promo photo manip with Rodney's hand in John's jacket? *iz ded*

Also, John in the leather jacket. This needs to be in an episode.

lemon of doom

[laceymcbain.livejournal.com]

Can I just say that my love for your lemon DOOM icon knows no bounds? *G* I can't wait to see your new fic, but in the meantime I'm happy looking at lemons. It really takes very little to make me smile.

[crownglass39.livejournal.com]

I've been out of touch and trying to keep an eye out for this but was wondering if I perhaps missed it?

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

No, it's just taking us FOREVER to edit. But we're super close now...

[crownglass39.livejournal.com]

Oh cool! I'll keep an eye out.
