Yeah, story!

I stayed up way too late editing this last night. I started incorporating beta changes, got halfway through, lost the document, retrieved it, and lost it for good. I swore, turned off the laptop, tried to sleep and decided, "Fuck it," and got back up to finish it. So I'm tired, but yeah, finished story.

Title: Three Card Monte Can Only End in Tears
Author: Thea
Rating: NC-17
Notes: SG-1, S9, pre-Beachhead. No redeemable plot. Seriously.
Thanks so much to [livejournal.com profile] kernezelda and [livejournal.com profile] cofax7 for beta, and to the fabulous [livejournal.com profile] rubberneck for encouragement and plot advice. And for the dogtags:)

This was written for [livejournal.com profile] crankygrrl who wanted Vala porn. That was a request I was happy to oblige.

I have - semi-successfully - registered for Novel Writing II at UCLA. (I say semi-successfully because I orignially signed up for NW I based on the dates in the catalogue, ignoring the dates on the online registration and had to call and beg them to switch me). The courses say that they have a pre-req, but I feel fairly confident that I know enough about the definition and structure of the novel as an art form to slip into NW II without panicking. Much. Here's me, not panicking at real live people who neither know nor like me responding to my work. Here's me running to the toilet to throw up. Go me.

The Mitchell/Vala porn is posted. Yeah porn. And in that vein, I'd like to share two different responses from my fabulous betas at almost the exact same place - literally within a paragraph of each other:) It's proof that we bring ourselves to the table as both writer's and editors:

Beta differences )

I just can't help but find it hysterical that C. is more bothered by placement and the whole kitchen thing, while Kerne's totally thrown off by the idea that they'd eat from the communal ice cream tub:) Hee. I totally adore my betas. And this is why it's always good to get an extra set of eyes:)

ETA: Please feel free to keep requesting even if the limit has been reached because the J/A requests will either be rolled into one or two, or saved for later:)

Pre-apologies for the spam.

Rolls eyes at self. Because of the whole blood clot thing, I can't ever take birth control. Which sucks on a fundamental nothing to do with reproduction front. I've never had PMS, but then, I've been on birth control for most of my adult life. So the past two years have been an exercise in rediscovering my body, mostly for the worse. And a bloody (ha ha) week of PMS has been at the top of the things that annoy me about my post-30, post Ortho-Tricyclin body. I'm moody, weepy, prone to fits of tears and self-doubt and my breasts ache like fuck and I swell like a balloon, and it finally occurred to me to count backwards, and low and behold I'm a week prior to my period.

Rolls eyes. Stoopid hormones. But at least I know why I'm raging between manicness and crying, high as a kite laughter and depressionish self-loathing. Rolls eyes again.

So, in the spirit of banishing such things, I'm opening up the drabble request hotline, with a caveat. The request must be for some sort of porn, and it must be happy sex (doesn't mean the characters can't normally be big balls o' angst, but the sex in trade is gonna involve a little joy because my last two fics have involved sex in the midst of doubt, sex as comfort, and I want a little freedom from seriousness.

Any fandom I'm familiar with - Farscape, SG-1 S9, new Who, Angel (not Buffy, unless specifically requested), Firefly, VM (shuddup Kath), BSG (although, really, don't ask for that!!), X-Files, etc. If you're not sure I know the fandom, ask. Answers will be in the comments, and I'm putting a limit of 10 on this (with the additional caveat that there's always someone who gets ignored, unintentionally due to a variety of reasons. Last time it was two challenges I really wanted to meet!)
