O Mighty Flist, I ask for aid!

So I'm writing a crack SGA fic (which is ALL [livejournal.com profile] aliaras 's FAULT BTW :P) and...well, I basically have 2 questions.  They will be after the summary.  Which is here:

John’s been the Hair Volume Fairy for a while now, and though he likes his job, he’s found himself wishing, now and then, for something more in his life.  Rodney has barely begun to be the Physics Genius Fairy, and he needs to find just the right physicist to inspire.  Having a bothersome hair fairy following him around isn’t helping, either, but John can’t bring himself to stay away.  Will Rodney ever find a physicist?  Can John persuade him that just maybe, finding love is more important?

The question is not, "Should I post it".  The question is, "Where do I post it?"

And also, "what the FUCK should I call it?"

I am having way, way too much fun writing this.  Seriously.

Also I want to write an epic SGA Regency AU with SPN/Dresden Files elements to it but I'll talk about that later.

EDIT: Because apparently an icon already exists for this fic.  IT WAS MADE BEFORE THIS STORY WAS WRITTEN.  IT IS FATE.  -dies of squee-

YES!!! YOU MUST POST EET!

*ahem*

As for where you could post it, I have no idea. There's always fanfiction.net, but it's your choice, really.

A title. Hmm... How about "How to Inspire Greatness (While Attempting to Stay Sane in the Process)"? Not too catchy, though. :(

I have an icon you can use for it: < a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/cynicatlantis/pic/0006d77h"> clicky click!

And I totally want to see that Regency AU. I'd be happy to beta/ be someone to bounce ideas off and bitch and/or complain to when it's not going right.

....omg. Where did you get that icon? how? It is MAGIC. And can I use it? Really?

Is there an sga crack community anywhere? I...don't really want to do ff.net, I used to post there and I've left stuff half-done and it would be embarrassing, really. -cough-

I'll write up a post about the regency AU when it becomes less of a...formless blob-idea. I sort of have a plot but there's...not a lot to it.

As for a title... Clap Your Hands If You Believe?

Except I feel like that's already a title for something and I think there's a better title out there.

The icon's from [livejournal.com profile] cynicatlantis' LJ, and she's given free reign for people to use the icons. There're more there, including a crack!tastic beanie version of the SGA crew, as well as mini-comics.

I don't know if there's an sga crack community anywhere; I suppose we could always start one if we can't find one.

As I said, the title was just an idea. Hmm. This may take some serious thinking about...

Titles are SRS BZNS. -nodnod-

-Snerk- I'm lazy and tend to use songs I'm listening to at the moment. On occasion, though, I'll make up my own. Unfortunately, it takes me about fifteen or so tries before I can settle on one...

I suck at titles. >.

Clap Your Hands if You Believe in Hair Gel?

Also: ICON = AMAZINGNESS MAX. :O

I KNOW. :D :D :D

And...that might work. Maybe.

Totally late to the party, but you should definitely post it. I'm horrible at titles. Clapping hands is fairly straightforward. You could also think of other fairy references. fairy quotes: http://www.quotegarden.com/fairies.html
good luck!

oooh, a quote page! Thank you!

I WOULD HELP YOU OUT IF I KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT SGA. Because seriously, this sounds absolutely epic.

I'll link you to it when I'm done. It's FANTABULOUS so far. :D :D :D

Post it! You should post it to your LJ and link it to [livejournal.com profile] mckay_sheppard...it sounds awesome. ;)

I totally will, when it's done. :D I'm doing NaNoWriMo this month, but my break is a long one...

(found this post through your BigBang story, btw)

How about posting it on Wraithbait? They have crack there, don't they? :D

Titles are hard. Ummm.... maybe something to do with TinkerFairies (I can just totally see Rodney as a Tinkerfairy. And I've seen Tinkerbell WAY too many times with my kids...)

Or "Dance of the fairies"?

"Where Faerie fold may rest and sleep" (from Elizabeth T. Dillingham, "A Faery Song"

"Hand in hand, with fairy grace" (William Shakespeare - A Midsummer Night's Dream)

...actually, playing around with "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy(ies)" might work, just for sheer comedic value. Thanks! :D

And now that NaNo is over I can actually WRITE it...though not until my wrist is better...
