I totally loved your commentfic in resonant8's post, by the way. (I read it out loud. With suitable accents. Even the dogs were fascinated.)

And I'm so glad I got you! I wasn't sure if it was, you know, obvious or impenetrable or what. Yay!

I totally chickened out. I admit it. I was like...but what if it is, you know, obvious? Or not at all obvious? Or just plain bad?

There you have it; I experienced a bad bout of apres-posting doubt. I figured I'd think about it for a day, then decide whether to link her to it. So thank you for making up my mind for me, because you know what I'm like with these things. (I'd already come up with a mutant rationale for not doing so that went as follows: but linking someone to your own story, that's sort of declasse, right? And dedicating it to someone without asking might be against fandom mores as well. I'd be the Biggest Fannish Boor, and I would have to drown my shame in further crackfic. So I definitely thank you for taking the decision out of my hands and ending this pathetic cycle of doubt and justification.)

Oh my god, I laughed so hard. And I kept trying to figure out what it was, if it wasn't the obvious -- man. This was wonderful.

Comment me or something next time! I wouldn't have known about this if mmwd hadn't told me. Can I link out of my LJ?

littera_abactor April 12 2005, 18:14:05 UTC

This actually was originally a commentfic in your post on aliens-make-them-do-it, but it kind of overshot the usual size limit on those, so I posted it here. And of course you can link out of your LJ; I'm insanely pleased that you liked it.

*does a happy dance*

LOOOOOOOVE. IIIIIIIIIIT. OMG.

littera_abactor April 12 2005, 19:47:38 UTC

I notice people are using their "OMG" icons a lot with this one.

Not a huge surprise, that.

But - yay! Thank you so much for loving it, and for saying that, because I am as insecure as an insecure thing.

*loves you*

(Also. Email. You got my most recent email, right? And you're not thinking I am all flaky again because you didn't get it, right? No pressure if you did, but - I would hate to look flaky when I'm actually not being so, because lord knows I have enough with just the part of that that I earn.)

fanofall April 13 2005, 00:12:40 UTC

Do not be insecure. It is SO SO GOOD!

(And the last e-mail I got from you was about THE PLAN, and my familial flakiness. To which I replied, so I think that means that no, I didn't get your most recent e-mail. Or that you didn't get mine. One of the two. WAAAAAH.)

*diez*

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Among other things, that's the funniest broken English I've seen in ages.

Also:

Hell. Daniel probably wasn't even carbon-based.

*snerk*

Thank you!

*smiles modestly* Well, I was inspired. I spend a lot of time with the fine pseudo-English the United States Government churns out. (And it is my fantasy to read someday an SG1 story in which Jack or Hammond is going through Daniel's classified academic papers and finds one called something like "Meaningless Patterns, Complex Simplification: The English of the U.S. Military Caste.")

I wanna read that story! I have always wondered why "Temporary Duty Assignment" was TDY and not TDA...

Re: Over here from Resonant's aliens-made-em-do-it thread viqi920 March 15 2015, 01:35:09 UTC

I am SO going to find someone who can write "Meaningless Patterns, Complex Simplification: The English of the U.S. Military Caste." There has GOT to be a linguist somewhere who could get a Ph.D. out of that!
Best,
Vicki

Oh my god. You have killed me dead. *g*

littera_abactor April 16 2005, 17:37:41 UTC

*eyes worriedly*

Well, I hope you have revived by now, because if not I have deprived myself of further good reading; I mean, I love your stories. (Particularly "Ciphers" and "Elements," which were partially responsible for my journey into the SG1 fold.) So don't let a few Martha Stewart type aliens keep you down! Rise and write again!

(*smile*)

destina April 28 2005, 17:38:44 UTC

It takes me so long to answer comments that clearly, I need a keeper. *sigh*

I mean, I love your stories. (Particularly "Ciphers" and "Elements," which were partially responsible for my journey into the SG1 fold.

:D Hurrah! This is the best compliment I could ever receive. Anything I can do to help suck more people into the beautiful abyss makes me happy. *g* Thank you very much.

Now please go write more Stargate. If you feel like it. Yes. I mustn't be demanding. That would be bad. *g*

*waits patiently*
