I think I've got one, maybe two more parts to go after this one. Then I'll start revising--so if you've spotted anything that looks lousy, now is a good time to mention it!

OK, so who wants to write the fic where Rodney quits astophysics to become a bicycle courier/cough syrup addict?
Not it, but I want to read it.
(Note for non-House f'listies: this week's Patient of the Week on House is a physicist who...yeah.)
(Note for non-SGA-f'listies: Rodney is character on SGA who...yeah.)

Updates are getting slower as we get closer to the end...must. keep. writing!
Also, still in need of title ideas!

Can anyone point me to where I can, ahem, acquire it?
Edit: Found! There's a link in comments, if anyone else is looking for it.

Sorry it's been a few days since I posted...this update focuses on Rodney's Cat.

I've been nominated for Round One at Words On the Wind, which appears to be a new, very ambitious multifandom fic contest. They specialize in science fiction, fantasy, and horror fandoms. There are numerous categories in over twenty fandoms, and nominations are open until January 5--then there's about a month of voting.
So far, it doesn't look like there are very many nominations at all. Hop on over and take a look at the list, and if you read any of the fandoms listed there, consider nominating something--they need five nominations per category to go to voting, and there's no word on whether they'll combine categories to get to that number if they don't have it.
My nomination is in the "Funny Fic" category for Torchwood, so the story is (of course), "The Face of God, or, Ianto Hears a Who," better known as the Jam-Jar People fic. It looks like Torchwood is the only fandom included that I've written for (they have SG-1 but not SGA, for some reason), but there are loads more categories that my other T-wood stories could be nominated in.

A while ago, I posted a rec for an SGA story where Rodney hallucinates that he is a teapot, and then in a subsequent post I said how I'd identified several teapots from my collection as the members of the SGA team, and suggested I might post photos. Now, only a little over a month later, I've taken the pictures and, in an amazing display of stamina, uploaded the pictures to my computer in the very same day! ( Very image-heavy behind the cut! )
The internet is full of things, and one of them is a pattern for knitted kittens or, as I like to call them, knittens!

What do you think,should I make some of these guys how many of these guys should I make?
Edit: I think some people thought I knitted these knittens--I didn't; the pic is from the site with the pattern. I will post pics of mine once I do some, though!
(There should be more Robot Rodney tomorrow--also, it's going to need a title soon. Any ideas?)

This section isn't all that exciting--it mostly just skims over the events of "The Siege," touching down to look at a few things that happened slightly differently in this AU. If you saw the episode, you basically know what happens already. Plus, the character I'm most interested in here is Rodney, and as you know if you read the last bit, he doesn't have a very active role in this section. This is probably the second-to-last bit of Part II, and when we get to Part III, I have loads of good stuff already written.

Here is the next part. Cliffhanger! (Keep in mind that every long fic I have ever written has a happy ending (I almost said everything I've ever written, but there is that one where Wilson's in a coma, so...).)
Astute readers will notice that I got around the plot problem by borrowing most of it from "The Siege," part one, with a couple of significant changes.

A bit more Robot Rodney. We're coming up on the Major Plot Development, and you know how I feel about writing plot! **clutches your hand** But we're not quite there yet.

It looks like at least a couple of people are following the saga of Robot Rodney, so I'll keep posting as I write. These are very rough drafts, so feel free to point out any errors, logical inconsistencies, bits that suck, etc. I'm expecting that this middle section will be somewhat slow going--I have ideas for some flashback bits, and then I know what happens at the end of the middle, but I'm still working on how to get there.

Can someone help me out with how to watch the end of tonight's House ep? My Tivo appears to have stopped recording at the time it was supposed to end, which since it started about a half-hour late is a bit of a problem. Thanks!
Wrote more of the Robot Rodney story...I've got the first third done, and I've started the last third, but at some point I'll have to fill in the middle third.

But anyway, I wrote a little bit about Robot Rodney. (Haven't really used anyone's suggestions yet, but they were all helpful in getting me to keep thinking about the story--cheers, guys!)
