Lizardbeth's Tale

Okay, so this is the most inconveniently timed meme/event thingy ever, but since I didn't want to let it pass with NADA, I um raided stargate-caps and I have a little appreciation of Sam Carter, Day 1 for womenlovefest


Sam's thread: http://womenlovefest.livejournal.com/50286.html#comments

For Day one, this is a picspam of Sam from the pilot episode, which really does a fantastic synopsis/base for the character Sam becomes as the show continues. Sam is not the first female officer in a tv show, and not even the first in a long-running tv show (Major Houlihan of MASH is before her, to name one I can think of) but she's certainly high on the list. I was a little too old when I started watching to be inspired, but still I consider Sam one of the backbone female characters of my formative years nonetheless.

Also I have at least one margarita in me. Just FYI.

So there's a trip through memory lane of a Wee Amanda Tapping. :)

With Richard Dean Anderson on the show last week (and he'll be on at least twice more, but not tomorrow), Fairly Legal has ALSO brought in another one we love for a guest spot.

Short sneak peek of her scene embedded under the cut.

Thursday night, 10 pm Eastern, on USA.

I am offering Action Figure Theater in the help_haiti Auction. (yes, inspired by abyssinia4077 because good ideas are there to be stolen!)

Some of you may recall the halcyon days of Action Figure Theater in this LJ. I have, sadly, not done it lately. This was the last time. I think..

Fandoms are BSG and SG1. Both 6" and Minimates for BSG. If you have a particular crack desire, I actually have lots of other figures, including X-Men, Babylon 5, and lots of LotR, etc.

My thread is here for bidding

*phew* Man, days inside with a restless, cooped-up kidlet are LOOOOOONG. If I lived anywhere with permanently sucky winters, I'd totally invest in a trampoline or bounce house or something, because he is just CRAZED.

However, I took a group of pics I need to upload: The Many Faces of Rugrat. It's pretty hilarious.

I'm also nearly done with my sg_rarepairings fic. I'd actually kind of forgotten how awesome Barrett is, until I was doing this. Dude gets tapped by the president to take down the Bad NID ON HIS LONESOME, hangs with hardcore arms dealers, kicks in doors at least twice, and when he gets brainwashed and nearly killed, comes back for MORE. Sam, babe, I love you, but YOU ARE DUMB TO LET THAT GET AWAY.

So, um, she doesn't, in this. *g*

(oops. icon!fail. wrong Sam.)

Oh, and thanks for the cookie snowflakes, flisters! *hugs*

Title: Five Sunrises that Malek Saw
Author: Lizardbeth
Words: 3,254
Summary: The Tau'ri have a saying, "It's always darkest before the dawn." But in space, the sun never rises. Five moments of light and dark in Asheron and Malek's life.

Note: These ficlets feature Asheron, my host for Malek from my stories "Tok'ra Allegiance" and "Going Home" and will probably not make much sense without reading them first. These snapshots are in chronological order. ( Five Sunrises )

SG-1 Question.

Let's say you're a Goa'uld system lord, like Baal, for random example. You have a Stargate on your homeworld, near your palace, that you keep a coded forcefield on (like the SGC's iris), but with the access code fairly well spread among your upper level minions (who may betray you at any moment, so it's not super secure). However, you have not EVER been attacked at home. Presuming you're a bit smarter than the average Goa'uld, would you keep your Stargate inside your palace under guard, for convenience? Or would you put it outside the walls and rely on your ships if escape should ever be necessary?

I have, for example, always thought Apophis was pretty stupid for having his gate so far away from his palace on Chulak. It gave his enemies far too many opportunities for mischief unobserved.

And yet, OTOH, SG-1 also teaches us that having your Stargate too close to something you want to keep is a recipe for disaster, since gates malfunction, higher-level enemies find ways to attack it, etc.

Not that this is important, even in the fic, I just CAN'T DECIDE!

ETA: It occurs to me that there's canon that it can't be TOO far away, since Baal notices the gate's behaving strangely in Avenger and takes advantage of it, within minutes of it starting.

*back to writing*

I had some of these ready to add yesterday and then got, y'know, distracted by RL. *g*

Well, it seems kind of a shame not to picspam anyway.

( PICSPAM, PART THE SECOND! Guys what I like! )

There. Because NO HOT PEOPLE SHOULD EVER GO TO WASTE... :)

I managed to write two more ficlets for the Porn Battle:

Know Too Much , SCC, Derek/Cameron.

Not Him , Stargate SG-1, Jack/Jonas.

I have part of two others that outgrew the bounds and there's no way I can finish them tomorrow in time for the deadline anyway, so this is it. Neither of these are my "ships" but I always figure I should try new things for something like the Porn Battle, even if they're... out of the blue.

Check 'em out, if you want.

Gateworld.net has posted the Continuum Teaser Trailer.

WOOT!

AND it's going to be released in Blu-Ray HD. Why, I wouldn't possibly want spaceship porn, and three of my t.v. boyfriends in high-def -- HOW SILLY!!! I'm totally buying it, y'all.

Under the cut is a screengrab I made from the trailer. It's a bit enlarged and blurry, sorry 'bout that, but still awesome.

( WHY IS HE SO HOT? )

*grabby hands*

I went poking around gateworld for info on Barrett, actually (because I couldn't remember if he'd been in any eps between Insiders and Dominion), and I found this.

OMG!!!!

( PROMO PHOTO SPOILER FOR CONTINUUM )

*ded*

Brad and Martin, you want babies? They're yours. Just make sure this scene stays in the movie.

PLEEEEZE
