Hey, Katie, where's that Stargate story with the moose? I'm guessing it's either Otter or Salieri, but have no real idea where to find either of them. I mentioned it to Anna, so now I have to pony up a link.
River: They weren't cows inside. They were waiting to be, but they forgot. Now they see the sky and they remember what they are. Mal: Is it bad that what she said made perfect sense to me?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Not Katie, but here's Elvis Has Left the Building, a.k.a. the Moosefic.

Bwah! I'd forgotten I read this.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
*beams* The moose was my idea.
(I'm still somewhat alarmed by just how sexy the whole shoelace thing is. Who knew?)

Yeah, I used the whole shoelace thing as an example in a comment in Anna's LJ. The moose thing was incidental.

which, on reflection, is terrible: Jack's a women, all women do is have children, so let's give Jack a kid).
See -- wow, all of a sudden I'm all Defender Of the Fic -- I thought it was something along the lines of, the kid was the whole reason for Jack being turned into a woman. Or something. Okay, that didn't make any sense either, but...
And I don't think the typos were intentional. Just unbetaed. I don't know why I'm all Defendery, I really don't! It's just, in a fandom with such delights as:
Daniel sighed as they checked out. They headed for the vehicles in the parking lot. They saw others arriving and leaving at the same time. Everyone nodded and exchanged acknowledgements with one another.
I feel protective of the ones that actually make me laugh!
(ETA: and while I'm at it, what is it with the spelling "Gawd"? It always makes me think of middle-school girls.)

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
what is it with the spelling "Gawd"?
I've used it in a journal entry or two, mostly to indicate an unusual emphasis and, generally, a considerable level of sarcasm or sarcastic distress. As in:
Oh. My. Gawd. The number of errors in the subcontractors' latest data dump look like my 11 year old car's odometer reading, just before the car died.
I can't see using the spelling when referring to an actual diety. Or in a serious entry. I can see using it when something -- say, a really hot Orlando Bloom picture -- makes me feel like a 14 year girl old who just discovered her hormones.

See, yeah, that's exactly what I mean. Your usage I totally get. It's the occasional "Oh Gawd, that feels good, Jack -- oh Gawd, more Worcestershire sauce!" that confuses me.
