| FIC: Out Of Bounds - John/Rodney - NC-17 |
[Jul. 13th, 2009|01:59 am] |
Everyone come celebrate with me! Enjoy! Here is the completion of Out Of Bounds.
No. Really. I'm not kidding. Here it is.
The story in one file up to an earlier chapter: Out Of Bounds.
Title: Out Of Bounds
Author: Icarus
Rating: NC-17 overall
Pairing: John/Rodney
Summary: "Don't confuse the ignorant with unnecessary technicalities," Rodney assured him with a smug smile and a deft wave of his hand.
A/N: Thank you once again to everyone on the beta team. I've had so much help from all of you I can't truly take credit for the story.
Betas: perfica, dossier, enname, rabidfan, skinscript, roaringmice, tingler, teaphile (who also did covers)
Skating beta: roaringmice
Long program choreography: skinscript
Czech beta: sarka
Non-fandom betas: Dana Phearson (HP fandom), my father, katmaxwell (anime fandom), thelovesupreme (HP fandom)
Medical information: JG
Toronto information: ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) toronto, my father
Milwaukee information: you guys
Skating information: a thank you to fsvids.net
The early encouragement from: cesperanza, lillian78, twistedrecesses, millefiori, duffy_99, chaps1870, mecurtin and others who nurtured this along when it was a wee thing. Yes, commenting acts as good bait. Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.... Special award for sticking it out FOR THREE YEARS.
All you fine folks with insult suggestions, cesperanza for use of her unicorn, troyswann for the bizarre Marlowe reference.
Dedicated to Evan Lysacek who stunned me when he actually replied to his fan mail.
Previously in Out Of Bounds: Known more for his jumps than his artistry, figure skater John Sheppard hires ex-skating champion and "artiste" Rodney McKay to be his coach. Their teasing friendship warms into something more. After all his training and preparation... the U.S. Championships.

Rating: NC-17 overall
Pairing: John/Rodney
Summary: Then John caught sight of the arena and hung back. The seats were dark and filled with sound. At center ice the TV screens flashed, and lights streaked down blue and white, searching, the rink a gleaming white oval below. As different from practice as a Ferris wheel became when lit up and moving at night.

Brief fly-by: I'm at the University of Virginia doing a language intensive with very limited computer access until August 6th. I'll be around on weekends to work on fic, but not much more than that. Hope everyone's fic challenges and Big Bangs are going well.
Ta-ta for now. :) |

| Happy and glowing. |

The barbecue I complained about yesterday turned out to lovely. A quiet afternoon at the pool, perfect weather, minimal conversation. We rested long enough to be able to enjoy a Tibetan style dinner camped out in the livingroom of our teacher's apartment.
Today I spent almost entirely on editing Out Of Bounds. I've added John's Exhibition program (I'd skimped there in my hurry). I added the new skating scene to the epilogue. I've asked my betas if I should add that scene with the frisbees.
*Contented sigh.*
You shall have it all soon.
I have homework to do tonight but I feel like I've put in a good day's work. |

Hi everyone.
Notes for the future: in a language intensive, if you're like me and need some time alone to recharge your batteries, live off-site. Living full-time with the other students has wrung every micron of energy out of me. I was a wreck by Thursday night. Picture sobbing PMS combined with school stress combined with the intense 12-hour day schedule combined with a couple not-so-fun kids (*eyeroll*)... and, oh, man.
To further my torment: there's a barbecue tonight. I hate barbecues. I loathe parties. I loathe office parties more. The idea of going to a barbecue with the people I've been with 24/7 for the last 14 days is like picturing my corpse being roasted over a slow fire. On a spit.
I'm trying to get out of it.
In the meantime, I have instructions from WG to have some fun this weekend. Work on the final edits to Out Of Bounds. Play on LJ.
Miss you guys.
Hi!
I feel like saying hi to everyone on my f-list. Individually. At great length. With a wagging puppy tail. |

*Plonk.*
I have exactly two minutes left online, of my 45 minutes for this weekend. Thought you might like a little reading material.

Title: Out Of Bounds
Author: Icarus
Rating: NC-17 overall
Pairing: John/Rodney
Summary: Rodney lay down on the bed like it was his coffin. They'd picked the wrong music. He should never have let John go with with Japanese daiko.
A/N: Thank you once again to the beta team, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) rabidfan and roaringmice (skating consultant), tingler, and now skinscript (choreographer). If there are any mistakes they are entirely my fault and probably things my betas told me but I missed them in the flurry to finish and make my flight.
Previously in Out Of Bounds: Known more for his jumps than his artistry, figure skater John Sheppard hires ex-skating champion and "artiste" Rodney McKay to be his coach. Their teasing friendship warms into something more. After a year of training and preparation... the U.S. Championships.

| Holy cow, busy. |

Class schedule at the UVA intensive:
9:10am - noon
1:20 - 4:30pm
7:00 - 8:30pm
Wow.
I have only 45 minutes on the computer this week, 15 minutes of it left.
Trying to decide if I should post the next scene of Out Of Bounds without the last remaining edits (there were a few but I'm so swamped I've no time to figure out what they were). I think I will. That way you guys have something to read and I can keep my word. |

My online time will be nonexistent until Saturday.
See you then! |

| Out Of Bounds is Done. |
[Jun. 6th, 2009|08:20 pm] |
Done!
Out Of Bounds is done and with my betas.
I'm on a plane to Virginia in two hours. I'd say that's cutting close, wouldn't you? *laughs*
Now amothea points out that the SPN Big Bang launches Monday. She's going to be overwhelmed with stories. I don't know how much overlap there is between SPN and SGA.
Are you guys going to be flooded with stories? Would you prefer that I hold onto Out Of Bounds for a little bit (once I get it back from the betas)?
*skips around happily throwing rose petals*
Done! Done! Done! |

Working on final transitions in the lead up to John's freeskate in Out Of Bounds, almost out of time. Damn it, they're driving me crazy. They're short. They should be easy.
They're not.
Up until 3am last night, until I realized that I had shut my eyes and ... no more writing was going to happen.
Now none of my usual suspects are online, and I have to talk these scenes out with someone.
Help.
Is there anybody out there?
ETA (five minutes later): Nobody?
ETA (fifteen minutes later): Nobody.
ETA (twenty minutes later): rabidfan appears. Yay! Saved! |

| WG's going to be laid off. |
[Jun. 3rd, 2009|12:05 pm] |
News just came down the pike.
The guys at WG's shipyard are being laid off.
He just went back to work this week after months of being injured. That injury wasn't covered by L&I so it came out of his savings.
I leave in three days. I come back to no job and no school and not even unemployment. Now he won't have a job either.
Can we assassinate Bush? Please? It would be so satisfying with what he's done to this country with this god damned war and deregulation.
ETA: In times like these, we need the Drama button! |

| SGA Big Bang? Truly? (And Old Skool Trek ... it's educational.) |
[May. 29th, 2009|12:38 am] |
There's an SGA Big Bang going on? Is there?
Where is it? Not that it would be insane for me to sign up given Out Of Bounds but I would like to drool a little bit.
Also:
1) I can't wait till the next season of Merlin starts. Can. Not. Wait.
2) WG and I are watching Star Trek episodes on CBS' website. I am delighted to see my f-list has sprung a Star Trek leak. Also, I have learned a great deal about Our Respective Slash Goggles.
Icarus: Oh, my god. How slashy can they get? No wonder this is the classic.
WG (squinting): Because of how close Spock is standing to Kirk there?
Icarus: No! Aliens take over their bodies! Two of the aliens could be gay lovers. Or the female lover of Kirk's alien could take over Spock's body. There are a thousand possibilities. It's so easy!
WG (light bulb moment): Ah. So it's the scenario.
Icarus (light bulb moment): Oh. So it's the intimacy.
Not only is Star Trek fun, and a classic, it's also educational.
Not to be missed: smittywing and reccea's Old Skool Trek Reviews. |

| Out of excuses. |
[May. 28th, 2009|12:22 pm] |
Good news: skinscript and I finished the choreography for John's freeskate! Now I just have to write the actual scene and I'm all out of excuses and stalling techniques.
I'm skipping class today because:
a) I've already finished my final project so I don't need another workshop,
b) my project is 22 pages long, so no one will have time to give it a read through in another workshop,
c) my project is 22 pages long, so two copies means 44 (!) pages and,
d) I am a skinflint.
WG is walking around the house naked with one sock on. That's entertainment.
(Does it qualify as naked if he's wearing one sock?) |

| Yahoo emails ... blank? |
[May. 27th, 2009|10:21 am] |
Usually when Yahoo screws up, I'm not able to get into my email account at all.
This is a tease. I open my emails ... and they're blank. Trotting off to clear my cache to see if that solves the problem.
ETA: Fixed! It was NoScript. Why is scripting required to view my Yahoo emails? |
