you had me at the face and the touch

+ Dollhouse might get a second season? If this happens I will be shocked at first, and then I will be bouncy. :D I need a Sierra icon.

+ I have been watching SGA. I... don't know why; I've never really been into it before. TV fandoms are strange; I suppose because they're so small, you see a lot of the same people across fandoms, and a lot of Merlin fen came over from SGA so I guess you could say I was curious. Anyway, I'm a third of the way through season 1. I'm not really getting into the fandom for it, because I hear it's mostly McShep (and also wank), but I kind of like the show, so far. I love Teyla first, Elizabeth next. (Also, apparently I am destined to like television shows where half my het ships are part of the fandom's biggest slash ships and are therefore rarely going to ever be written or spoken about. LOL. Which is not to say that I dislike McShep, but still.) *pokes around for some fic anyway; will settle for gen* I guess pretty soon I will be trying BSG, too? Bzuh.

+ Also! Started watching Big Bang Theory. WIN. Win, win, win.

+ Moar TV stuff -- I'm all caught up with Legend of the Seeker. Very entertaining! It's kept me watching; and I love Kahlan. She is so fierce I can't take it. Slow-motion fight sequences and kick-ass women FTW. But it's a difficult show to ship in because there are so few characters and Richard doesn't really do it for me. Might be the weird American accent.

+ Made some progress on my [livejournal.com profile] hp_rarities fic this weekend. *\o/* And I have a Merlin fic due that I may or may not get to; we'll see. *crosses fingers*

I hope DOLLHOUSE gets renewed. We've been very stable (almost religious) viewers since the first ep; the only one we missed was the night of the BSG series finale and we ended up watching the ep on HULU a few days later. I mean, I hope we get to see some resolution to why all these "dolls" are there, and why Paul Ballard cares so much.

Big Bang Theory FTW. Seriously, CBS isn't starting the NCAA championship game tonight until AFTER BBT and HIMYM.

I think Dollhouse has been doing better than expected, and the quality of the last few eps should definitely warrant being picked up for a new season. It actually sort of lives up to the hype Joss created about the episodes post-1x06.

*bounces*

Hey, was just checking your Merlin Girl Recs post, and then stalked your journal. SGA has a lot of awesome Het fics, lemme tell you. Here's one Elizabeth centric fic rec post (http://community.livejournal.com/halfamoon/18922.html?style=mine), and then anything written (http://irony-rocks.livejournal.com/387091.html#cutid1) by [livejournal.com profile] irony_rocks, especially the award winning stuff.

I don't follow Teyla's fic too much, but you might wanna check out Isis Awards (http://www.isisawards.net/) for some stuff?

LOL! Journal stalking FTW. Thanks so much for the recs! Good to know there's plenty of het stuff out there. I definitely need to check out IR's stuff because of course, I love her Merlin fics. *g*

*G* The Sheppard/Weir portion of fandom was actually pretty big, back in it's day. And totally awesome, especially considering the canon wank. If you're a S/T fan instead, there were a lot of gems in there, if not quantity. I can't help there, though. Sorry!

No worries! :D I'm sure I'll love the Sheppard/Weir stuff -- based off the first six eps I've seen, I'm kind of feeling both S/W and S/T, so there should be plenty of fic to keep me entertained for a while.

[identity profile] ed-84.livejournal.com 2009-04-06 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
My number one rec for you for s1 stuff would be an AU for episode 1.15 ("Before I sleep"): Beginning's End (http://irony-rocks.livejournal.com/26718.html#cutid1) by [livejournal.com profile] irony_rocks, my personal favorite SGA fic ever. Long, plotty and awesome.

Also, anything by [livejournal.com profile] mylittleredgirl for s1 stuff too.

Gah. I'll stop bombarding you with recs now.

DOLLHOUSE FTW!!!! (I also need a Sierra icon. I have a few Echo ones, but not uploaded yet. Still working on replacing all my lj icons after the hard drive wipe.)

Meep! Hope you can get them all replaced. :D Yay Dollhouse!

I'm still shocked they're even considering it. It's like they're trying to tease me and not have me think that Fox is evil. Because it is.

*hopes some more it's true*

[livejournal.com profile] sga_newsletter has sections for various.

I sat here with the first six eps playing while I was writing yesterday. :D

I love Rodney kind of a lot. And John. And Zelenka. And Carson. And Teyla.

Course, it's been 5 seasons, so you'll get spoiled for, like, major Elizabeth events, if you go reading. However, if you are okay with McShep and your heart being torn into very small pieces, go find Freedom's Just Another Word for Nothing Left to Lose. Bring kleenex. Actually, no, here, let me find you it: here.

Heee! I knew you liked it too; I think you were the only person on my f-list who I knew was into it. *g*

Rodney seems really ... like he needs to chill or get laid or something, just from the first six eps. High-strung and sometimes pissy? And dorky. *g* But yes, he's awesome. I would think Sheppard would balance him out quite well in a relationship.

*bookmarks that fic* :D

[personal profile] florahart 2009-04-06 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually, that fic is only spoilery (possibly) for the first two seasons--it's AU after S3 for sure.

*reads it again*
*uses kleenex again*

--actually, you're likely to like it for the setting anyway. Heh.

Hi Heather! Mind if I friend you? Annearchy told me I should stalk you and ask you how to upload a header 'cause you walked her through doing it and I want to do one.
ext_11631: (Default)

[identity profile] heather11483.livejournal.com 2009-04-07 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee. Yeah, of course you can add me. *adds you back* And I reckon you could just comment here or PM me with whatever layout you have and I can tell you how to add your header from there. *g*

Hello, new friend! I have Butterflies Purple Expressive by Mena Trott. Does that help?
ext_11631: (Default)

[identity profile] heather11483.livejournal.com 2009-04-09 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Do you need to change the colors too?

Expressive is a little less intuitive when it comes to adding headers unless you override the entire layout.

What's your header? Maybe you can just link me to the image I can make you a layout to go with it and send you the codes.

[identity profile] marie-j-granger.livejournal.com 2009-04-09 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
I like purple, but it doesn't have to be.

I'm not married to Expressive by any means; we can use whatever's easy.

Thank you so much! It's right here: http://pics.livejournal.com/marie_j_granger/pic/0001zx8c/

That's so pretty! *uses appropriate icon*

I'll find you a great layout for it and put it in.

[identity profile] marie-j-granger.livejournal.com 2009-04-09 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! Pretty icon!

That would be terrific; thank you.
