♣ And All We Have by
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
seekergeek [Canon, 48968 words]Earth is gone, lost to the Ori and Atlantis has to take a hard look at how to survive now that they're on their own.
♣ On The Pier by
hestia_lacey [Canon, The Shrine episode tag, 6923 words]Following the events of The Shrine, Jeannie talks to John.
♣ Doobie Does As Doobie Will by
sheafrotherdon [Canon, 449 words]John wakes up, as usual, when the shower turns on.
♣ The Sacrificial Mage by
taste_is_sweet [AU, ~65000 words]Magic was a substance, like fire or water. It was abundant and incredibly powerful and could be manipulated with the correct application of knowledge and will. But if you didn't use it properly, you'd be immolated or drowned. Or worse: other people would be, and you'd be forced to watch it happening. That was why it terrified him to see the casual, unthinking way Teyla and Carson used magic, because he knew that someday they'd be forced to pay for what they'd taken. Every wizard would, sooner or later. It was the first thing mages ever learned, and Rodney had lived it.
Magic was a zero-sum game. If you didn't sacrifice as much as you were given, you would lose.
♣ The Call by
mistokitt [AR, 11240 words]The realization hit him fairly quickly at that point, he was sitting with the outcasts. The loners who weren't quite loners, but were never going to be a part of the clumps and groups and easily labeled segments of their peers. Sheppard smiled to himself. He was sitting with the future leaders of Atlantis.
My biggest problem is writing the beginning of the fic. Once I get past that, I'm okay. Now if I could just settle on a way to start my fic.

I always begin expecting the first scene will have to be tossed. It's a foot in the door to get to the rest of the story. You can do it!

Helpful, I know.

Date: 2012-05-31 12:10 am (UTC)Oh. That's pretty good advice - I'm going to have type that out at the top of the page, so whenever I go back and look at the beginning and feel "meh" about it, I can re-read those words. Thank you bb!!

Date: 2012-05-31 12:15 am (UTC)I'll write out the beginning and like it well enough, and then later I'll go over it and hate it so much, and feel the need to start over. I'm just going to write out the beginning and try my best to ignore it until the rest of the fic is complete, and then go back and fix it.
