Okay, popular twitter consent seems to have me acting in a brewery...a Sci Fi beer nerd series? ...who am I to argue with my peeps!?

I could work in a pub! I'm not so keen on people, but I get along fantastically with beer! Perhaps that's my real job calling?

so, he wants me to write a Callahan's Crosstime Saloon'ish AU where 'the weirdest things' keep happening in Rodney's pub and John, his favorite customer, has to run around cleaning up the mess?

with *shudder* PUNS? I don't DO puns!

Title: A Smarter Tradition
Author: esteefee
Pairing: Sheppard/McKay
Rating: R for mention of boy shenanigans
Words: ~1,220
Categories: AU, ER, part of the Fair Trade series
Warnings: none
Summary: John gets cranky during Fleet Week. He has a stupid plan not to take it out on Rodney.

Written for mcsmooch while the Blue Angels pass overhead: A Smarter Tradition.

I have been listed as an "author of note" on nrrrdy_grrrl's Rex Files (Sheppard/Dex section), but that's not the coolest bit, the coolest bit is all the lovely, lovely Shex recs, stories and authors she has gathered together in one place, so if you are at all inclined toward that pairing, check it out!

For Cate, and posted with her permission, a bashfully-written snippet set in her A Farm in Iowa 'verse (~500 words):

wihluta has recorded Infinity Cubed, the missing scene from Möbius, as a podfic! (please right-click and save.)

Please comment here at her original post. Thanks, wihluta! Due to her tireless efforts, everything but one little snippet of the Fair Trade series is available in recorded format, and all in her lovely voice.

Summary: A missing scene from Möbius, from the Fair Trade AU, in which John owns
a coffee roastery and Rodney designs exhibits for science museums. Nothing much happens
here except for poker and sex.

it's late late late. Happy late birthday, Kisa! ~:

Happy day to you, wonderful girl. You bring us all so very much happiness.

( Crunch )

So...I had a weird thought today when I was responding to an email from someone, in that I found myself assuming the person I was responding to was a woman. Which, granted, I try not to do (usually I obliquely try to hint/ask) but usually end up doing anyway for efficacy's sake.

But that led me to wondering and then realizing, yeah, of course, there must be some guys out in slash fandom who might not want to identify themselves as male even if they are, because they might get treated as oddities or alien, and it's easy to be anonymous online.

chkc made me the BESTEST CHIBI BDAY PRESENT EVAR:

RIGHT HERE.

Seriously, if I had like one finger of this girl's talent I would do nothing but draw all day long. Fortunately, I do not, and so I can feed myself by working and stuff. :)

Thank you so much, chkc. ::glees::

It has become clear to me recently, due to the present ongoing discussion re: warnings, that I've made some assumptions as a writer that were unfair to readers who might have triggers. So, to clarify: I always warn for any non-consensual sex, or rape, torture, character death or disability that appears in my stories (I've added a note in my profile to indicate as much.) I thought that was *normal*. The warnings will always be linked to in the header of the story.

In addition, I'm about halfway through adding "Warnings: none" to the headers of all of my stories that don't require any warnings, just so that anyone happening upon them will know there are no (anticipated) triggers in those stories.

If there are other things you as a reader feel I should warn for, let me know. I do occasionally warn for something else, such as blasphemy (sexual) or violence to innocent little animals (hey, bug!John needed to eat), but that's for squick, not for triggers. I don't write incest or suicide, and I don't even know what chan is, so they're not on my list. But if you're ever reading one of my stories and are disturbed and upset and didn't feel warned, please do let me know.

This is my responsibility as a writer, as a person who gives a damn about the people who are trusting me with their minds. That's what I think, anyway.

Summary: These hands can also heal.
A/N: I really hate the tag for The Eye. I think
it belittles the two hours of tension and violence
that precede it. Anyway, here's my take.

( Ache )

Because crysothemis did it, and if she can be brave, so can I.

10 things about me:

1. My pseud is from a book by H. Beam Piper called Little Fuzzy. - I highly recommend it.
   
2. I just started writing fiction a few years ago - I really don't know what the hell I'm doing.
   
3. Posting personal stuff online still seems rude to me. - Like an intrusion.
   
4. I like legos - but not as much as plain old wooden blocks.
   
5. I haven't missed an opportunity to jerk off since puberty. - Is it okay to call it jerking off if I'm a girl? I always figured it's pretty much the same.
   
6. I started writing around the time I discovered slash. - The two are intimately connected.
   
7. I have lots of friends but I like to be alone.
   
8. I've been using Photoshop since 1.0. - But I still can't use Illustrator.
   
9. I have three tattoos - two of which are visible to casual view.
   
10. I wear my socks inside-out - they just feel fuzzier that way.
    

Fair Trade and Möbius are now available as one spanking podbook or as individual mp3s thanks to reader wihluta, podbooker cybel and archivistgeneral_jinjur.

Here is the complete list of wihluta's recordings, all the Fair Trade stories to date:

Fair Trade as mp3
Möbius as mp3
Both as Audiobook (m4b)
Infinity Cubed as mp3
Fairly Competent as mp3

I swear, the things fandom does just make me all teary-eyed sometimes. It's all about cooperating for the greater good of porn. :)

wihluta has recorded Möbius as a podfic! Which means either she has tremendous vocal stamina or an extremely large supply of coffee beans.

I'll add permalink as soon as it's up on the archive.

For merrilily. :)

Hey everyone: wihluta has the patience of a saint (and perhaps a fair amount of lemon tea) because she's done a reading of Fair Trade as a podfic, with plans to do Möbius as well:

\o/ Love her voice! She gives my pitiful story some nice polish, don't you think?
