Dreamt last night that ( I was in a high school English class and we were doing a fic exchange as an in-class assignment... )
So what did I do this morning? Sign up for a ficathon. *headdesk*
I really am worried that I'm not going to be able to write fiction for a very long time -- not because I'm short on time now, but because I'm rusty, and every time I sit down, as has happened most days since the summer, I can imagine what I want on a story-level (A happens, and then B, and there should be X and Y emotions), but the details, the dialogue, the narration, the actual line-by-line story, will not come. I stare at the screen. This frightens me.
Haven't decided yet whether to post a memory today and take tomorrow off (200 comments in two days! Aah!), or skip today and post again tomorrow.
News:
- Got a confirmation email that my application was received and complete. Now must wait until April 1 for the verdict.

roga is planning a multifandom Purim ficlet/art exchange that sounds like fun. A celebration of Jewish characters, the promise of treats, and the booing of evil viziers -- what's not to like?
Reviews:
- Total Recall (1990, dir. Paul Verhoeven): I didn't know until a few years ago that this was based on Philip K. Dick's short story, "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale," which I'd read a while back in one of the sci fi short story collections my grandmother let me steal from her attic, and this week I finally got around to renting it. ( All I remember about the short story was... )
Hm. Should go do some work now.

Recs:
- topaz_eyes wrote a beautiful sestina about Cuddy. As Cuddy-centric gen in a slash-heavy fandom and as a poem besides, it has not gotten nearly enough love.
- thingswithwings posted a series of Atlantis jokes last night that are guaranteed to make you laugh at least once: A priest, a rabbi and an ATA user walk into a bar...
- Spiral by unamaga and Fix by toft_froggy are both quite hot John/Rodney PWPs (but not PWCs [porn without characterization]) that manage to pack a whole lot of screwed-up UST into these scenes where they're in the middle of having sex. Plus, the first has John/Rodney/math OT3 and the second has John stuck in an Atlantis sex machine.
- dragonwrangler wrote a silly House fic based on an icon of mine, which is pretty cool: Cuddy's Little Secret.
