We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Watch faster.

So, y'all read Rageprufrock's Bell Curve, or: Ladies' Night at the Boom Boom Room, right? That's the AU SGA McKay/Sheppard where John is Rodney's TA at CalTech? (Hysterically funny, omg brilliant.)

Well, she just posted a shortish sequel, called Learning Curve. I suspect, from looking at her LJ, she may be posting stories every day from now to Valentine's Day...

Ooh, yay. I think I might have to go back and start that one from the beginning.

Punishingly Intricate

Watch faster.

haha. I KNOW! But I'm trying to use Farscape as a reward for actually getting stuff done. Like, I can't buy season 3 until I finish doing my taxes.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Thanks Consuela, that's just the thing to wash the taste of the latest SGA Flashfiction entry out of my mouth. (The author writes a sequel to "Trinity" in which it's revealed that it wasn't poor woobie Rodney's fault that a planet blew up after all... and Weir and Zelenka apologize... and Rodney finally gets the respect he deserves... and I had to stop reading before the Mary Sue showed up to marry him and live happily ever after. )

If I only had a brain...

God, Prufrock is good.

She really, really is. And a good egg, too.

And Oh, Dear, Matt. Thanks for the warning. ::sigh::

Happy to take one for the team. At least fics like that don't tend to crop up that often on the list. Usually even if a submission deals with characters or pairings I'm not interested in, the writing itself is good.

I wonder if the author realizes feedback in the single digits (and 3 of the 7 comments are her replies) is the equivalent of a room full of people whistling and looking away studiously?

God, Prufrock is good.

Really? Her stuff doesn't quite do it for me. It's a fun read, and I do read, but it never quite clicks.

Plus, she keeps insisting that John has a Southern accent, which...no.
