It is apparently totally, depressingly true that my real life is more interesting when my access to the internet is "intermittent" rather than "literally constant". Of course, it's also spring, which means that everyone else is emerging from February and talking to other people.

I did do laundry yesterday, which is something I probably wouldn't have gotten done if I had a better means to distract myself; still, some parts of real life (especially the volunteering) have gotten a little intense, and I really miss being able to drop into Vidding Headspace and forget about everything else on earth for a couple of hours. I will note, though, that it is also nice not to have any fanprojects really demanding my attention. I am not the first person to note that never being bored is both a good and bad thing.

Anyway, I'm still on someone's computer an hour or two every day - an amount of time which, shamefully, doesn't even get me as far as responding to comments - so I've definitely cut back to a pack a day, not gone cold-turkey. Still, I am, notably, surviving.

A final, depressing note: I am going public with my McKay/Sheppard pairing fatigue. I have completely worn them out. I actually caught myself backclicking from McShep stories that veered above a PG-13 this morning. Argh. Maybe if we take a little break, McShep and I, it will put the zing back in our relationship.

I am going public with my McKay/Sheppard pairing fatigue. I have completely worn them out.

Thank God, I'm not alone in this! I was staring at the McShep section of the newsletter going "Meh". My solution has been: bandom, SGA femslash, vids. Also: sticksandsnark is going on and brimful of Rodney/Teyla goodness.

It was about the time that I started secretly edging into bandom, actually, that I also noticed that I was skipping over the steamy bits in McShep fic. As far as I read, Written by the Victors is PG-13. Depressing!

SGA femslash, do tell me more.

You skipped the porn in Victors?! Man, that's no good at all. My pairing fatigue is recent - I noticed it shortly after the end of s4, maybe. And it does seem to have a built in exception for fic by Ces. Thank God. (Did you read OK Computer? Because YES.)

I think I'm going to do a post of non-McShep SGA fics. Including femslash.

I think I'm starting to get that way. Maybe I'm getting overwhelmed by fandom in general. Too much fanfiction is making my head explode. Well, I mean most fanfiction. Anything from the Nantucket or Iowa series is quite welcome and I would drop everything in a heartbeat to read anything synecdochic has written. So...what was my point again? I've been reading too much fanfiction lately and my brain is burning out. Granted I said reading, so getting back to writing fanfiction is a distinct possibility. My McWeir fic is practically dancing over here and shouting, "Whoo-hoo! Remember me?!? I'm the 73-page fic you abandoned!"

*meanders off to throw the fic in a padded cell*

See, I remain profoundly entertained by other fanfiction - I started down the primrose path of bandom about the time that McShep fatigue really kicked in. But apparently I needed a change from spaceships and sexual repression?

McWeir yay. I'm always glad to see what someone does with a Weir. I want to start working on my Sheppard/Space Pirate again soon - that's what I would have done today if I hadn't been out Contributing to Society or some such nonsense.
