My team ficathon story so far...

[aurora_novarum]

You know how you have this really cool idea for a story in your head, and then when you go to write it, it comes out crap? I've written five pages give or take, and the characters aren't playing nice.



Silly characters. Please cooperate in this story. Please, please.

Teal'c, stop obsessing about how the sky is purple. I know, you keep saying it because I think it's funny to picture you constantly saying purple, but...you've got scouting and protecting and being cool to do. Silly warrior!

Daniel, stop baiting Teal'c and coming up with annoying things to say. You are much wittier than this most of the time. Plus, you've got cultural technobabbling and supportive stuff to do later. Right now, you're just distracting. Bad archeologist!

Sam, if you don't get the boys in line and taking your readings, I'm taking your playstationscanner away that tells you why the sky is purple and turning the sky a normal blue anyway even though I've figured out a way to combine it in the plot. Naughty science-geek!

Stop trying to make this crackfic! This is seriuz biznez! :-p

And Fickle Muse, stop trying to counter the crackfic by making the description and action dull. This is a cool idea you gave me, and outlined...with plot twists! It shouldn't open reading like an encyclopedia entry! No, really!

Don't tell me Jack is behaving? :)

I *completely* empathise. Sometimes they're like the naughty schoolkids, staring out of the window instead of getting on with their work. Drat them.

The only reason Jack is behaving is he's not in this particular scene. I fully expect him to be just as cranky in the upcoming one.

I'm thinking of threatening to shoot one of them if they don't start cooperating. *bwah ha ha*

Ahh, yes - that explains it. I did wonder. He's notorious for being a right uncooperative SOB.

I think threats of violence are perfectly understandable, under the circumstances. ;)
