Soledad's Journal

A short Epilogue has been posted to otherworlds_lib.

Next up in the programme: "Eye Witness", a pre-series Tosh romance, set in the "Travellers' Tales" universe and therefore blessedly Gwen-free. I'll start posting it next week.

Enjoy!

Saw a few pictures about John Barrowman's guest role in "Desperate Housewives", and I must admit that I like the new look. The different hairdo matches his actual age a lot better - he does seem aged quite a bit, but it's not a bad look on him. His face has lost that plastic-like quality... perhaps he's *not* allowed to use Botox while filming the series? Whoever forbade it him, it was a good idea.

Saw "Voyage of the Damned" and thus got introduced to the now-infamed Midshipman Alonzo - also known as Jack's new piece of ass, pimped by the Doctor himself. Wow, RTD must really hate both Jack (to force him to "forget" Ianto for this guy) and Ianto (to be replaced by someone like that). The character wasn't all that bad, actually... the new context is. But again, nothing RTD does to piss off the Ianto fans can surprise me any longer.

Watching "The Aliens of London" has spawned a brand new plotbunny: Tosh as a temporary companion for the Ninth Doctor, while Rose-bloody-Tyler is home, visiting Momma and trying to placate a rightfully angry Mickey. I've already figured out how and why I can get Tosh into the TARDIS, and I also know where the first adventure would get them: feudal Japan, courtesy of Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" series.

Now I'd need a good title (a "catchy" one, as Ianto would say) for the new series. Because "Toshiko Sato, Companion Extraordinaire" would be a but too long and way too unsubtle.

Any title suggestions for Dr. Who, Series 1.5, featuring Tosh as the Ninth Doctor's companion?

One of my rare and precious fans on FF.Net (yes, I still do have a few) took it upon himself to recommend my stories on the spacebattles.com website. I think he came to me through Still Not in Kansas, but apparently, now he reads just about everything I post, even if he mostly comments on sci-fi stuff. He's even recced An Autumn Fair in Halabor when someone on that forum asked for good LOTR fic recs.

Now, the funny part is that he seems to believe that I'm a guy. He keeps referring to me as "he". I don't know whether it is because he expects female writers to produce bad slash and/or sappy romances complete with Mary Sues, or because the Spacebattles members are overwhelmingly male, but it's funny nonetheless. I wonder if I should leave him his illusions? ;))

Speaking of recs, here's a bit of self-promotion: I've posted the new chapter of "Out of Legends" to otherworlds_lib. An update on FF.Net will follow as soon as my beta gets his capable hands on it.

Nothing new work-wise yet.

So, why do people fail regulary to notice the big, fat AU warning on my stories? Are they really stupid or do they ignore the warning willingly, so that they'd have something to bitch about later?

Title: Trial Without Error
Author: Soledad

Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis
Genre: Court drama
Rating: General, suitable for all.
Series/sequel: might be integrated into my Atlantis AU “Moments of Joy”, eventually. Or not. We’ll see.
Archiving: my website and Otherworlds. Everyone else: ask, please.

Disclaimer: don’t own them, no money made. All borrowed from various TV-shows, save from a few OCs
Timeframe: Season 1, right after “Hot Zone”.

Summary: The PTB let Sheppard and Bates get away with disobeying the direct orders of a civilian leader they were supposed to answer to. Now, I believe that in order to keep up the stability of such an international and multicultural colony, that shouldn’t have happen. So, here is the correction.

This story is not yet complete.

The thought occurred to me while waiting for the bus - yeah, I get inspiration in the weirderst places, I know.
