'Adíshní Mags

I have more icons on the way, but evidently not the head space to finish them. Have these instead:

I've seen this one around... I've also written a lot of clichés... :P

Bold the clichés you have written, and italicise those you've considered writing.

( All the horrors and wonders of fan fic combined... )

The Rules:
1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Turn on your music player and put it on random/shuffle.
3. Write a drabble/ficlet related to each song that plays. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the drabble; you start when the song starts, and stop when it's over. No lingering afterwards! I totally cheated and finished all of these... somewhat. :P
4. Do ten of these, then post them.

Pairing: Jack/Daniel
Ratings: PG to NC-17
Notes: quarryquest did an awesome quick beta on these as my spelling/grammar and general grasp of the English language is atrocious. Titles link to the songs for your perusal.

( I haven't written Jack/Daniel for a whole year! )

1. Reply to this post and ask to play, and I will pick 6 of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!

campylobacter gave me these along with a few questions which hopefully I have answered here:


This one was made from that absolutely stunning photo of RDA and Amanda Tapping at Comic Con '08 I believe? From a purely elemental point of view it didn't appear completely 'posed', but it worked nicely, and the lighting is fantastic (there is not enough high contrast/front lit photography - it's something done moreso in sketching/paintings - still life and what have you 'otherwolrdly' lighting). In this sense, the use of the Vitruvian Man was merely a prefigurative of my appreciation of this certain male form. :P



Hehehe. This one comes from this batch, wherein I make icons from pics sent to me. It's sort of an in joke if you will with quarryquest back when we were discussing fan fiction which includes Daniel having the ability to sketch rather well - of course he is an anthropologist and that would be quite a useful skill, but when we see him/Michael Shanks put pen to paper, he is rather inept at drawing basic glyphs (Lost City, possibly Absolute Power?) So that was a little snarky commentary if you will on that aspect of the character - teaming up that image with one that speaks of artistic endeavor. I tend to use it when I am posting something 'artistic' and I am probably pre-judging my wanky ability before receiving any outside opinions on my work.


From a manip from many moons ago (original here) that also inspired my fic "Blue Calm". I just adore the image of Daniel being Jack's hero and in many ways he is (no matter how far Jack can stick his head in a deep flower pot of denial), plus it also works for my Jack!whumping kink. :P



The infamous 'Irish Hair' from Dylan Moran's stand up show "Monster" because I suffer from the same phenomena with my wild red Irish tresses. He is also one of my favourite comedians and star of Black Books.



Credit for this one goes solely to tejas for her inspiring "In The Company of Men" wherein it's Daniel(?) who imagines Stargates in place of the clocks in Dali's "Persistence of Memory". Of course I just had to create that image, and subsequent icons. The image of the Stargates themselves were taken with a crappy old webcam about 6 years ago, before I had access to a scanner or had heard of screencaps! So that's where the odd purplish-blue hues come from and I just warped them by hand over the branch and other surfaces. The event horizons are made from a pre-existing texture available in Paint Shop Pro.


One of RDA's 'Oh a behind the scenes video? gotta drop trou' situations. This was from a batch made for rda_daily . My apology for titillating everyone for Naked RDA Week, yet not delivering the goods. :P I can't remember exactly which behind the scenes special this is, but I believe he was showing Amanda some scars on his knees?

If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

Stoled from cleothemuse

Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. No more than one sentence!

* Having had little to no rest since before this last mission his head was seriously considering giving into gravity's adamant approval of just resting his head on the workbench for a few moments.

* Before them were the usual rowdy bunch of whacked out natives, hell bent on mis-interpreting anything said or done by our Earthling/Athosian heroes consequently landing them in deep doo doo... oh the wonders of gate travel.

* Daniel's been too absorbed in the culture to notice, if he was an accomplished Egyptologist before he's a certifiable walking historic relic now too...

* Time was not present in this version of reality.

* She turns then, her back against the glass window as Jack attacks her throat with sharp kisses, nipping along her windpipe in mock threat.

* "Not if you're alternate self had an evil twin", John replied, unable to keep the grin from his face.

Those are just the ones that have actual content, not including word documents that just have a hastily typed prompt I thought of at one time or another, and never got around to writing. :P
