That went better than expected
Feb. 26th, 2026 11:30 pmcornerofmadnessMy building at work is collapsing on one side not only are we working to fix that we hope to have money to renno some of the labs. It was a 2 hour meeting with the architect today and that was hopeful plus they teased the idea of other money for equipment and brought up the virtual cadaver table. I have the paperwork for those but they're 100K so let's fix the building first.
I thought my writer's zoom was today but no one was there. Wondering why. Sad I didn't get that. Did I just do it by myself? you know I didn't.
I forgot to share my books yesterday so here are Feb's reads
Cooking with Monsters fantasy LGBT graphic novel
The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires Urban Fantasy
Parable of the Sower: A Graphic Novel Adaptation dystopic near future SF
When the Moon Hits Your Eye near future SF
Heavy Vinyl Complete Collection LGBT graphic novel
Rebecca Gothic classic
Dark Life YA near future SF

Feb. 27th, 2026 01:34 amcassiope25 posting in stargateficrecShow: SGA
Rec Category: Rodney McKay
Characters: Rodney McKay, John Sheppard, Teyla Emmagan, Ronon Dex
Pairings: Rodney/John
Categories: slash, emotional constipation, pwp
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Words: 2,581
Author's Journal: n/a
Author's Website: puddlejumperpilot on AO3
Link: This time, this time (its personal)
Why This Must Be Read: This is the first SGA story by puddlejumperpilot, and it’s equally hilarious and so hot, hot, HOT! Rodney and John are truly terrible at communicating, and puddlejumperpilot writes them so perfectly in character. We get wonderful manly, and of course very mature, talking... and more. It's especially delightful how Rodney wants to be “manhandled” and still gets bossy from the bottom. It’s gorgeous how John knows how to “handle his man”… and how to take Rodney—literally.
You really should give this adorable story a go. Enjoy!

Fandom Promos
Feb. 27th, 2026 01:30 amgalerian_ash posting in bethefirstHave you already decided what fandom(s) to write for? If so, how about doing a little promoting? :D
We've all chosen tiny obscure canons, needless to say. But by posting here you might be able to entice someone else to give it a try — or perhaps you'll even run into a fellow fan, who can't wait to read your coming fic.
Your promo can be long or short, and contain whatever you feel like. Want to post a couple of intriguing screencaps from a movie? Quote a few paragraphs from a book? Rec the best episode of an anime or a TV series? Talk about why you love your favorite character and/or pairing from your fandom? It's all good; anything goes!

old HD
Feb. 27th, 2026 10:50 amtielanSo, I was reading a Thread where a guy was warning about old drives, and how they might not last very long anymore because of degradation of the components used in them.
So, while looking for a mouse this morning, I dug up 2 old HDs (circa 2010?) and two external HDs and figured I'd kick them started and see if they worked.
And I just found the MOTHERLODE of photos!
Dating back to 2011! Including ones of my old cat, and the parentals' old cat, and friends' children as babies! WOW.
And old trips! Including a few that I thought I'd lost forever!
(Apparently, I have always taken lots of photos of builidngs!.)
Also, boy was I skinny!! Either that, or the camera made me look skinny. Oh, younger me, why did you not realise? XD

Fandom: Star Wars, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, Star Wars — Obi Wan Kenobi (TV), Star Wars — Jedi Apprentice Books
Characters Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, Shmi Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker, The Force as a Sentient Character, Watto, Quinlan Vos, Padmé Amidala, Sabé, Darth Maul, Yoda, Mace Windu, Adi Gallia, Quinlan Vos, Professor Huyang, The Force, Plo Koon, Vokara Che, Siri Tachi, Aayla Secura, Bant Eerin, Bruck Chun, Xanatos du Crion, Sheev Palpatine | Darth Sidious, Hego Damask II | Darth Plagueis, Komari Vosa, Bail Prestor Organa, Breha Organa, Bail Antilles Prestor, Rael Averross, Nim Piana, Ahsoka Tano, Sifo-Dyas, Reva Sevander, Lene Kostana (mentioned), Savage Opress, Pong Krell, The Traitor, Original Characters, Other Characters To Be Added
Pairings: Obi-Wan Kenobi & Shmi Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi & Qui-Gon Jinn, Padmé Amidala/Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon Jinn (yes, we’re arrived). Bail Prestor Organa/Breha Organa
Word Count: ~ 7200 this chapter
Spoilers: None
Warnings/Enticements/Triggers: Past assault, rape, coercion
Summary: Obi-Wan Kenobi has never known it, but he has always been the Force’s Champion, destined to suffer infinite sadness in defense of the Light. On his last turn on the wheel, responsibility for The Chosen One, the false child of prophecy, had been thrust upon him with no warning, and Darkness held the upper hand.
But this time, the Force has marshaled its power and will protect its Champion until the time is right, no matter how long Obi-Wan has to wait and how much he has to suffer.
Or,
Obi-Wan is reborn as a twelve-year old.
He wakes up on a slavers’ ship, with all of his prior life’s memories intact, and he’s bound for Tatooine with a Force-inhibitor collar around his neck, a bomb implanted in his spine, and no way of knowing what state of the Galaxy is in.
Just another day in the life of the Force’s Champion.
Chapter Summary: Obi-Wan has a lot to deal with on Naboo — old ghosts, new mysteries, and Quinlan Vos, who somehow, has figured (almost) everything out.

Megamind: Rings by impatientseamstress
Feb. 26th, 2026 04:03 pmmythicmistress posting in fancakeFandom: Megamind
Pairings/Characters: Megamind/Roxanne Ritchi, Minion, Metro Man
Rating: M
Length: 168,535 words
Creator Links: impatientseamstress
Theme: Inept in Love
Summary: Roxanne Ritchi just wanted her shoes replaced.
Marrying her Supervillain in a surprise Vegas elopement was not part of the plan. It wasn't part of Megamind's plan either... Unfortunately, all of Metro City is way too excited to finally see them together for them to admit the truth. But they can solve this...somehow
Reccer's Notes: Oh, Megamind and Roxanne were being SO STUPID about each other, in the "I love her/him, but she/he couldn't possibly love me back" way. They managed to argue themselves into getting married, for crying out loud! (Didn't help that EVERYONE IN METRO CITY was shipping them...) There's also some fun worldbuilding done for what a world with superheroes, supervillains, and damsels would look like.

The Biggest Adventure
Wednesday What I'm...
Feb. 26th, 2026 12:42 pmreeby10Reading
- I finished Chupacabra by Roland Smith (Marty & Grace #3). I like this one a lot, though I do wish there was more of the actual chupacabra lol
- I picked back up and finished Dolphin Watch by John Vornholt (Dinotopia Digest Novels #15). I found one of the characters pretty annoying for much of the book, but I did enjoy it a lot. The ocean setting was really interesting, since it doesn't come up a whole lot in other Dinotopia stuff except in relation to the dolphins!
- I started reading Mutation by Roland Smith (Marty & Grace #4). I don't remember much of this one, but it's fun!
- Ficwise, I've mostly been reading VegasPete. Lots of omegaverse for some reason, guess that's just what I'm in the mood for.
- The roommate and I finished Lover Merman. What a terrible show lol We watched the first six episodes pretty close together and then took a break to watch our weeklies, and I don't know if it was that break to watch actually good shows or what, but the last two episodes were absolute garbage. I agree with some ppl I've seen online saying the show should have been about Ping, that would have been a much more interesting and engaging story.
- The roommate and I watched Still 2gether, the sequel to 2gether. It wasn't great, but it was better than the original show! At least we finally got to see Mike and Title kiss :)
- The roommate and I started watching Peaceful Property. Still surprised it's not an actual BL bc it's definitely got the vibes. But oh my god, how did no one tell me how sad it is?? Like, it's also so, so good, but damn.
- The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Cat for Cash. I'm kind of feeling like this show has no real substance, but it is cute and FirstKhaotung are very sweet. Satang finally showed too, which was fun!
- The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Duang With You. Cute and silly, and I'm really enjoying TeeteePor's dynamic. But wow, what a tone shift for NorthOtto! Very interested to see what's happening there.
- The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Dare You to Death. Prevailing theory wins out! Not mad about it, though I am interested to see more of how it shakes out. Funniest part is that the cops really did not solve shit lol
- The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Yesterday. Continues to be bonkers, though I'm starting to feel there's a bit too much business talk sometimes. One character seems to be maybe dead this episode, and I'm really hoping he's not...
- The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of My Romance Scammer. Shit's starting to hit the fan! I'm really loving Yu and the OhmPoon dynamic, which I'm very happy about since this is their first show together.
- The roommate, best friend, and I finished Kidnap. The best friend seemed to like it, which I was very happy about bc it's one of my favorites! I ended up going through the entire tag on tumblr, then the entire OhmLeng tag as well. Once again so sad about them :(
- The roommate, best friend, and I started watching My School President. Rewatch for the roommate and I, but this was the only way we could get the best friend to watch it bc she's not really into school dramas.
- Finished up everything I had recorded for the Olympics except for the closing ceremonies. Women's figure skating was excellent.
- The roommate and I watched Man Suang. Interesting movie! Can't say I really liked it, but interesting even though I didn't know anything about the time period and politics happening. I had been under the impression there was at least some romance, I guess just bc Mile and Apo are in it, but there's really not lol
- I've been slightly obsessively been listening to No Way by LYKN. I liked it alright the first time I listened, but I think it's become one of my favorites of theirs now!
- I finished writing an OhmLeng fic that I'd started after the first time we watched Kidnap, since I'm freshly in my OhmLeng feels again. It's kind of wildly self indulgent in a very nothing-actually-happens way, but I'm happy with it!
- I started writing an ArmTae omegaverse mpreg fic bc I've been reading a bunch of KinnPorsche omegaverse mpreg lol Will anyone but me be interested in it? Unlikely, but oh well.
- Read an interesting article about body image and disordered eating in figure skating.

SGA: Do Over by crysothemis
Feb. 27th, 2026 12:37 ammific posting in fancakeFandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay
Rating: Explicit
Length: 18,910
Content Notes: No AO3 warnings apply
Creator Links: crysothemis on AO3, nny (villainny) on Audiofic Archive
Themes: Inept in love, Friends to lovers, First time, Humor, Pining
Summary: John never sleeps with anyone twice.
Reccer's Notes: Rodney (who's attracted to John) bumps into a few women, and then Ronon, leaving John's quarters. He clumsily asks John about these goings on, and mostly accidentally challenges John to have sex with him (because why not with Rodney if everyone else gets to?). It doesn't go swimmingly so Rodney demands a do-over, then another do-over, and another, because there's always something wrong with their encounters. This is partly as Rodney's bisexual and he mistakenly thinks John must be as well, and Rodney also manufactures "mistakes", until they're both entirely hooked and John's joining in with the pretense enthusiastically. It's hot, funny, and clever - a great read.
