The trouble with hit counts

[lizardbeth]

When I post a multi-part fic to a place where I can see how many reads each part gets, I shouldn't look. It's depressing to know exactly how many people looked at part one and decided not to read any more. At least if it's a one-parter I can tell myself everyone who clicked on it actually read it (which is not true, but I can pretend).

But on the bright side I can presume that people who go on must think the story's okay, right?

Speaking of things that suck, I still have no voice. I'm like a boy frog going through puberty. Croak-squeak-whisper-croak I wish my vocal cords would just get better already.

And yet I have a new kick-ass Teyla icon, because she is of the awesome. Well, she would be, if TPTB ever got their heads out of their butts and let her be awesome again. So not all is bad.

ooohhhh yes please :) I'd like one of Markus sleeping from Interregnum 2, one of Markus and Erin dancing from the same epi. I also need a nice one of the two of them in general.
When i wtite my tok'ra Oc Elise, she looks like Erin so i want to try and do a graphic of her and Malek ;)

aahh. no problem. :) isn't that the cutest scene, when he's pretending he's asleep? I love it.

Do you want their hair to match, between the Interrugnum pics and the general pics? His is pretty short toward the end of the season, IIRC. Or do you want one where it's curlier (like when he's Malek?).

Yep - i want to make a tired icon. lol. As its now 3.25am and i have already been awake an hour. Gonna be a case of get the kids to school and go back to bed again today.

it might be better if the general one matched Malek's please. Tho both charries are so similar it's incredible. Have you noticed how Markus walks with his hands behind his back at times?

Thank you for this :)

no problem. I'll poke around and try to find a good one of the two of them. The others are easy to grab.

But yeah, PS was definitely still in a Markus head-space when he was playing Malek. Of course, it probably didn't help that Peter deLuise directed him in both shows and wrote Malek for him. So between the two of them, it's not really a surprise. The similarity helps a lot for my AU epic, Distorted Reflections though... :)

GO TO SLEEP!

gah, you and my kid. Nobody wants to sleep.
