Things That Suck

+Writer's block.
+The teevee seasons all drawing to a close.
+94% finished fics that refuse to just finish themselves.
+People at my job who try to make their problems my fault and won't take no for an answer (or STFU, sadly).
+Ficathon guilt that keeps me from writing anything else, even when I have stories demanding to be written.
+108 degrees? REALLY?
+Not being able to leave comments in posts because they want me to go to dreamwidth to do it instead.
+Twitter.
+July and Leverage are too far away.
+ABC (YES, YOU HEARD ME ABC. THERE IS A SPECIAL RING OF HELL FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU.)
+The fact that my black widow curse has hit yet another teevee show. (And just for the record, I wasn't watching TSCC, so you can't blame that one on me. Even though I agree, that sucks.)
+No more Delahoy.

RIP, Unusuals. You deserved better than my curse.


Okay, and because as cynical and bitchy as I am, I feel guilty leaving nothing but suckage behind to leak into the internets, a few things that don't suck:

Leverage Fics:
We're all Mad Here by [info]entangled_now  (Team, gen)
Falling by [info]ijemanja  (Parker, Sophie, gen)
The Birthday Party Job by [info]asimaiyat  (Hardison, tiny smidge Hardison/Parker)

SGA Fics:
As a Tree Grows by [info]poisontaster  (Katie Brown, gen)

SG-1 Fics:
Like Coming Home by [livejournal.com profile] featherjean  (Sam Carter, Sam/Jack, Team)
Theory of Flight by [livejournal.com profile] lyssie  (Sam/Jack)
Build Your Walls, I'll Tear Them Down Brick By Brick by [livejournal.com profile] kellifer  (Daniel/Vala)

And, completely out of character, but how about an original short story by one of my favorite authors?
Salem by Robert Olen Butler
(God, I wish I could write like this man.)

My WIPs are trying to make me feel guilty but I'm ignoring them out of spite.

*take that beer-drinking-colonels-fic! And you too Cassie-Janet-adventure-fic! See, what's this I'm holding? It's called a novel. A paper novel. Ha! And you know what, Wip? I can read it anywhere. And look. I've got a second one. Ah ha! I don't need your silly laptop with your messy power cables and your clicking keys trying to tempt me to put my fingers on them*

ahem. Good luck.

Yeah. Too bad WIPs tend to produce uncontrollable sequels and spin off if they are ignored too long. I wouldn't leave that beer drinking colonels fic too close to the Cassie and Janet fic. The possibilities are frankly frightening.
