mad gifts week

The Icarus Project is creating a new culture and language that resonates with our actual experiences of madness and "mental illness" rather than trying to fit our lives into a conventional framework. We are a website community, support network of local groups, and media project created by and for people struggling with bipolar disorder and other dangerous gifts commonly labeled as "mental illnesses." Come Join Us!

(I'm coming in late on this, but I'm going to try to have some madness-related posts in the next couple days. And I've been thinking about having a Mad Tea Party in my neck of the woods.)

topics in fanfiction (this will be on the final exam)

Geez, everyone's posting pictures today and I'm at home with the dial-up, so I can't see any of them! Grr.

I wrote Heroes fic last night (849 words) but nothing yet in daylight hours. Instead I have played Scrabble and the dictionary game (same as Balderdash but just using dictionary) with the housemates. I won Scrabble with 190 some points, yay! (Best words: nobody, felted, romped - all triple word scores.)

I am so far behind on my rounds_of_kink prompts and it's almost over! (Tuesday is the last day for posting, though there might be a late posting period.) I still owe: 1 fic for Angel the Series, 1 fic/art for Red Dwarf, 1 fic for Farscape (started), 2 fics for SGA, 1 for Buffy the Vampire Slayer (started), and 1 for Heroes (done!). I must needs write faster!

( let no man be a list... )

The SGA story that's due today is insomnia/sex to fall asleep kink. I still haven't decided on a pairing, but I'm thinking femslash would be fun. I need pairing help though. Something unusual but plausible. My standard for plausibility is basically "it would be hot" fyi. Maybe something with Keller? Who do you think she has chemistry with? (Men or women.) Ooh, or it could be a Doppelganger tag! Maybe with Rodney/Teyla!

ETA: Oh my god, I just read (very, very cute) Laura/Teyla pregnancy fic! And now I totally want to write an AU where Teyla is an alien who comes to Earth to "probe" and impregnate Earthwomen! *evil laughter*
