OK. I refuse to use the now-trendy expression "Made of win."
Got that? I "heart" this expression "liek woah," but I WILL NOT use it, in any context, ever.
That said, I just spent a couple of hours I SO do not have for online activity reading
Forget Me Not by
maisierita.
McShep. Amnesia. Prison. Stupid, stupid aliens.
This is the good stuff, y'all. And this is a level of writing to which I aspire. Just good, tight and well constructed.
Really, really good.
( Unrelated rant about NOTHING. )UPDATE: You know, the thought occurs that I often say, "Everybody needs a secretary." 'Cause you know, professional secretary here. I know the value of good clerical staff. But really, what everybody needs, possibly more than a secretary, is a First Prime.
No. In keeping with the selfishness theme of this post, I declare that in fact, everybody else can have secretaries. I, and I alone, get a First Prime. Perhaps not Teal'c himself, but someone equally imposing, who can hulk around whenever anybody is pissing me off. Who will deferentially fetch me things when no enforcing is needed, and who will charm the children with his inscrutable alien ways when I need a break.
Yup. That's right. I'm putting "First Prime" right up there with "Robot Double" on my wishlist.
