Here's the latest interview of Tricia on her role on "Burn Notice". (Possible BN S2 spoiler.)  She also talks about BSG. In case any of you are interested, you can see the episode stills here.

Burn Notice returns on July 10th on USA network (Official). It's a smart and funny show and I can't recommend it enough :)

Hey there, look here on my livejournal to see what categories Heroes are in the 2008 TV.Com Awards

Title: The West Wing Theme
Artist: WG "Snuffy" Walden
Summary: I made a set of alternative credits for SGA using the theme of The West Wing a while ago, but I was never particularly happy with the way it turned out. So I thought I'd have another crack at it.

Title: Gold Dust
Artist: Tori Amos
Summary: A "Real World"-centric vid. Elizabeth struggles to come to terms with the revelation that the past two years of her life were nothing more than a delusion.

Hiya everyone! I've finally revamped my altars and made some new little candle grouping thingies I am new to the community so this is my first post. I've been practicing Paganism since I was 13 and pretty much just had my 10 year anniversary. There are lots of picture that may be huge. You have been warned :D!

( Its all under here... )

Thank you for looking!

Blessed be!

A couple of weeks ago, on the advice of my ever-fabulous agent, Rachel, I started writing down all of the things I liked to read about in novels, that I also liked to write about. They ranged from themes to tropes to silly things like Cold War espionage. The purpose was to help me work out the kinks in my YA proposals, to find that missing "it" factor, and I gotta say...worked like a charm. Rachel is a smart cookie, which I suppose is why I write the books and she tells me which ones will sell, and then proceeds to do so with aplomb.

Anyway, I took a picture of the big board in progress and am posting it here for...well...I suppose so you can get a snapshot of how my mind works. I apologize in advance for any scarring...

Why This Must Be Read:

This is part of Lionchilde's Fire and Water series, which is AU. You absolutely don't have to read the entire series to understand this story. Ever since getting into the Stargate fandom and the Daniel/Vala ship, I've loved this little story. A tiny snippet is all we need to understand Daniel's protective nature and Vala's vulnerability. With just 500 words, Lionchilde conveys the events of an entire day. For some reason the image of Daniel having skinned knuckles on his wedding day just strikes me as brilliantly in character in the context of the story. This story also shows the family nature SG-1 and General Landry have. Brilliant imagery and a great take on what Daniel and Vala's wedding day would be.

You're going to be seeing this image around my journal a lot in the next several weeks:


It's clickable and will take you to equality for all's website where you can learn more about the proposition, give money and volunteer time.

Proposition 8 is the initiative that will be on the ballot in California in November that proposes to change the state constitution to limit the definition of marriage. IT WILL TAKE AWAY PEOPLE'S RIGHTS.

It will take away MY rights. And not just the right for me to get married if I wish. It will send a very strong message that queer people are second class citizens. It will open the door for the far right to try to take away everything we've worked for in the last 10 years in this state and in this country.

Please. PLEASE. If you live in California, vote in November. And don't just vote the top of the ticket where the presidential nominations are listed. Go right down to the bottom of the ballot paper and vote NO on Prop 8.

If you have any money or any time you can spare, go here and spare it.


If you have friends or family who live in California, PLEASE, talk to them about this proposition. Voting yes on this proposition is voting to take away the equal rights that the law now affords all citizens of the state of California.

We need people to vote no. We need for everyone in the state of California over 18 who believes that all people are equal to go to the polls or to fill out their vote-by-mail ballots. We need for them to not just vote for president. We need them to VOTE NO on Proposition 8.

If you're not sure how you feel about same-gender marriage, please come talk to me. Send me a message if you don't want to talk about it here. riversbend.fic at gmail.

go have a look at Equality for all's website


and keep going back, because they are updating it all the time.

This isn't just about saying "I do." It's about being treated like a human being. About being protected at school and at work and in the streets. It is a civil rights issue.

Why this must be read:

This fic, is to me, the definitive Rodney McKay; encapsulating all of his brilliance, his peculiar foibles, his pursuit of knowledge and most of all, his delight at being able to live out his long-held dreams of exploring the universe.

Crossing over with the Dr Whoniverse, and featuring several incarnations of the Doctor; this fic plays with all of those wonderful notions of space and time and the paradox of time travel, well mixed with the impossibilities of science fiction.

I adore the continuing thread that features recognizable quotes from Heinlen and Asimov, Rodney's mental number games of prime and not prime, and all the science references that will thrill any geeky heart to the core.

You don't need to be familiar with Dr Who canon, but if you are, you will love the way that fahye captures the twinned exuberance and fragility of Ten, and contrasts it with the more surly but no-nonsense Nine.

This is a wonderful fic. Not to be missed.

( A teeny extract )

No reason.

This is one of those posts where I whine.  I do not need cheering up!  I am dead serious about this.   I just want to whine.


Edited 6 chapters of Magic Strikes.  Hate it with the brilliant hate of a thousand stars, but that's to be expected at this stage.

Irritated the hell out of one of my BFFs

Brainstormed ideas for Club, a funny horror, with Jill who swore up and down she'll work with me on it

Downloaded Tabaxi race plug in for Oblivion, made a half-kitty girl, and sniped people from the dark using sneak skill

Watched Sheer Genius

Marinated steaks for tomorrow in Corona (4 steaks, one bottle of beer overnight, in the morning an hour before grilling, a handfull of brown sugar, salt, pepper, sprinkle, let stand for an hour, grill.)

Depressed as all get out.

There is a kind of weariness that periodically mugs me.  I used to get it at my other job too, a sort of exhasution from perpetual paranoia of failure.  No matter how much I try, I can't resist the habitual cycle of worrying that's particular to many Russians: what if I never make the list again, what if the third book tanks, what if the new series tanks, etc etc etc.  And running headfirst into the same worries time after time after time makes me really tired.  Tonight, I'm just tired.  

All my books are in my laptop.  

More importantly, I don't want to do anything.  I am completely and totally apathetic.  Maybe post novel ennui finally mugged me.

Well, no I lie, I want to watch Kaleido Star but Netflix just now sent it and it won't get here for awhile.

Three more kink_bingo stories.  All Mature Adult rated.

Apt Pupil - John/Rodney - Breathplay - 2,050,words

Rodney thinks John needs some instruction, but has forgotten the old adage that starts out, 'be careful what you wish for...'

Please Post All Warning Signs in a Conspicuous Location - John/Rodney & Rodney/Ronon - Bondage (misc.) - 2,500 words

It's all fun and games until...  (no one loses an eye, don't worry)

Obsidian Ink - John/Rodney/Ronon/Teyla - Tatooing - 3,600 words

This one fell in some plot, and I couldn't get it all washed off. 

Rodney's not the only one who is transformed.
