Punk Maneuverability, writer extraordinaire.

Huh. I don't recognize that one, and, really, mostly the names I know are because you all have recced them (or, you know, are them). I must have skipped... something. Dammit.

Wait. Is Punk the same person as rageprofrock? I'm confused.

Jen, Punk is a wonderful, wonderful writer who was one of the first I read in X-Files fandom all those years ago. Man, I loved her stuff. Escape Speed. The stuff she wrote with Sabine as V. Salmone. And Wabash, Faraway has the distinction of being the first slash story I ever read.

No, wait a minute. It was actually Hal's Violence and Subtext of Homoerotic Desire Or Beat Me, Daddy. I totally blame her for my thinking all slash was parody for the longest time.

Anyway, Pru then went on to write brilliant stories in The West Wing fandom, then got her brains eaten by the Gay in Smallville. I'm not surprised that she finally succumbed to SGA, which is turning into some kind of slash vortex.

Oh, and while I'm at it: Punk's fanfic.

Is Punk the same person as rageprofrock?

No. Punk is a better writer, IMO.

Oh, OK - I haven't read much in the fandoms she's written. Yet. Except some Sports Night. But not hers.

Thanks for the link...

Betsy, it's a major AU on many counts. Written for a Harlequin challenge.

Punk is both a significantly better writer and not prone to posting WiPs she never finishes, which are two points in her favor.

Did Punk actually write a SGA story, or is she just getting into the show now?

ETA: Nevermind. There's a link on her webpage to her LJ--looks like she's just started to watch. Fic can't be too far behind.

Fic can't be too far behind.

That's what I figure. Punk! Punk is one of the finest stylists around, and creative as hell. Maybe she'll write Zelenka?

And it occurs to me that if Punk is getting sucked into SGA, she may tow Sabine along with her, which would be... really interesting. Since Sab does wacky stuff with characters.

Shalott's Harlequin thing is AU: the forks being (1) Sheppard getting cashiered for insubordination; and (2) the Atlantis team heading offworld with a fully-charged ZPM. Everything else (well, other than the concept of them actually sending a mail-order bride!) follows from that.

It's quite an endearing story, and it hits all the major Harlequin points spot-on. I'd totally read it as a straight-up het romance set in space.

So, I saw this bit quoted on lj today, and I just went and found it on Gateworld to confirm, a post by Joe Mallozzi re: SG-1 and SGA:

Good news. Brand new (long version) opening credit sequences for both shows will be airing with the back half of both series in January. Watch for 'em.

It's the little things sometimes.

Oh, yay!

I lent a friend my Farscape, Firefly and BSG miniseries dvds.

Looks like she's becoming a Farscape fan. She's finding the show an excellent distraction from, you know, everything else.

I don't know that she's watched the other two shows though.
