Sid's Closet

synecdochic has an ongoing OMG We Need Some Porn In Here Stat meme, and I left the following prompt awhile back: Jack/Daniel, after they trick the Aliens into Making Them Do It, because Daniel really likes having an audience, and Jack really, really likes reaping the benefits.

This prompt has now been filled by the marvelous pipisafoat, with exquisite pr0niness.

So what are you still doing here? Go!

I contributed in a small, but crack-y way to a Master and Commander fandom Jack Aubrey/Stephen Maturin Big Bang fic written with five other authors for journeystory and posted yesterday. We did our own version of The Odyssey (sorry, Homer); my offering is the Circe bit. Here's a fun and pithy summary of the original to bring you up to speed. (We had to leave several chunks of the original out of our story, which is still nearly 29k words. If only we had had another six authors!)

Edited again: see my next post - I have possibly uncovered a design flaw in the payment system!

Edited: LJ's billing department tells me I signed up for auto-pay two years ago (Feb. 2010). If I did, it was by accident! I do not remember receiving a notice in Feb. 2011 saying: we'll be billing your credit card. I only remember: your account's about to expire.

Very little of this makes sense to me, but it's a fact that I've been paying $19.95 for the last two years, which is the reduced rate you get for enrolling in auto-payments. I had no idea. I know I paid manually last Feb., but then I also was switching to a different credit card, so who knows. They say I switched cards and then they auto-billed me.

And this? The automatic payment enrollment process does indicate in several places it is a reoccurring payment, including a chart of "today's payment" and "regular payments" to indicate what you will be billed the day you enroll, versus the normal amount. Rings no bells whatsoever.

I would not even have checked my account status if I hadn't seen other people reporting that there was a problem -- maybe we're all senile? :-/




Check your LiveJournal account status, everyone. They're fucking around with automatic payments! I have never had automatic payments turned on, but I am now being told that my credit card will be automatically billed. For account renewal AND userpic package.

FUCK NO YOU ASSHOLES

NOT ANOTHER DIME

Tree Lobsters webcomic celebrates their third anniversary by... posting a picture of Leonardo DiCaprio walking out of a Stargate?





ETA: Ha! It's a meme! It's the Strutting Leo meme! And here I just thought it was some peculiar form of insanity. Yay for the universe making sense again!

Thank you to everyone who left comments at the Love Meme! ♥ ♥

And thank you for the holiday cards that have come in so far: princess, esteven, rane, delph and saffronhouse!

This is a great picture, right?



( But doesn't it look even better now? )

There's an impromptu porn fest happening over at synecdochic's place! Let's see some SG-1 prompts!

Link far and wide, because boy howdy if there's ever been a week where we all needed some dirty dirty porn, it's this one.

I started this way back in July, with nothing more than the titles. I finished it up about a week ago and waited to see if I had anything to add. Nope!

584 G rated gen words, especially for those of you who enjoy outsider POV. I can't decide if this is from a children's schoolbook or a brochure that gets handed out to tourists....
