Selenay's Ramblings

Today is being a Bad Day, thanks to the unique combo of my back being wonderfully painful and getting certain cramps a day early. Again. Bleh. Painkillers and chocolate ahoy!

However, I managed to get into work early due to the complete lack of other people on the roads and the sun is shining in a very pretty way. So it's not all bad. I just need lots of coffee and chocolate brought to me by beautiful maidens in alluring togas. Or something.

I am trying out LJ's new vertical menu design. I may decide to go back to the original layout, but I thought I'd give it a go for a few days. It does have the advantage of being less likely to flip around if I'm not feeling too co-ordinated with teh mouse, but I'm not completely convinced yet.

I've also been reading a bit of the reaction to the loss of the Hinkley Island Hotel for redemption_con. To be honest, finding a new hotel that we can take over completely sounds like a great idea: there were definitely problems with the hotel this year, particularly the food and the attitudes of non-con guests, so I'm looking forward to having all the fun of Redemption without that. If we're the sole occupants of the hotel for the weekend then they'll have to do a reasonable job with food, won't they? We could even have a green room kind of thing like certain other cons, maybe with snack food available at times other than specified eating times. And free WiFi would be very nice if it can be achieved :-)

I'm feeling rather flattered, and surprised, about all the feedback for the femslash07 fic. Quite nice to know that I can write more than just Teyla/Elizabeth without totally sucking :-)

Before I start my Peg 2 con reports, I should note that I've received my femslash07 assignment, which is very exciting (and scary). This means that I need to knuckle down and get some writing done over the next month. Also, some episode re-watching done for inspiration :-)

As for my requests, I'm a pretty happy girl with whatever might be written. I think the only thing that I'm really hoping I don't get is a "can't have the man of my dreams, will settle for this girl person instead" kind of plot. Or character death. Definitely not into the angsty/suicidal/character death dark kind of fic. Otherwise, I'm happy with fluff, plot, romance, drama, PWP, deep and meaningful, PG, NC-17...why yes, I am an easily pleased sort of girl :-))

For those following my work tales, yes everything broke and there was a ton of stuff that they "just couldn't quite get round to" on my desk when I arrived this morning *sigh* I am planning to hammer notes everywhere about the fact that I won't be in on the Tuesday after Redemption so they really have to make sure they can get everything done while I'm gone that time. I will save the tale of the crazy lighting for another post :-)
