YOU ARE ALL AWESOME!

Wow! This has been an amazing birthday for me. Pretty cards and time with family and friends and CHOCOLATE CAKE for dessert.

And lots of lovely birthday wishes from fandom too. Thank you all for the lovely thoughts and shout outs abyssinia, traycer, moonshayde, suzannemarie, astrumporta and beanpot. And even some fandom "presents" too! You know the bestest thing about fandom presents? Everyone can enjoy them!

First off, was an amusing/scary classic SG-1 team fic by sallymn complete with sparkly font birthday wishes! Heh.

And then pepper_field wrote a sequel fic to one of my favorite Sam & Daniel tales ever by writing up Therapeutic Effect.

Co-Libra zats_clear who shares my adoration of Lexa Doig, decided to spin off on that as her inspiration for a birthday caption.

Also in the pic motif, annerbhp outdid herself in SG-1 team awesomesauce picspam of classic team and S9/10 era. See Jack&Daniel in the naughty corner and Teal'c's wrath on DVR sabotage, or Jaffa Jeopardy (OT: One of today's Jeopardy categories was all about October Firsts. Hee!)

Not to be outdone, supplyship had the SG-1 team throw together a birthday party for me complete with Urgo.

And still more fic!
Battlefield by a_loquita is S10 era team on some downtime teamy goodness...but there's a bit of [good natured] conflict going on.

Last but certainly not least, holdouttrout explored Five Beings Who Inhabit the SGC about some of those unsung heroes who work and/or live in the lower levels of Cheyenne Mountain.

And on the dreamwidth side, samantilles made me a few special birthday icons! (I'm using one of them here. :-D

AND someone anonymously gifted me with a year of paid time! (This may have just been coincidental, but I'm not so sure about that). Hmm. I have a small suspect list, but who knows, it may just be some random coincidence. ;-)

And then fignewton, annerb and sg_betty have offered to write me fic based on prompts (they don't realize how dangerous this is. I'm terrible at prompting. When I get inspired it's usually with whole scenes and/or dialogue snippets).

And totally not birthday related, but paian just introduced me to wyomingnot's fanvids...she loves SG-1 AND Leverage. I think I'm in heaven. :-)

(Cross posting this on lj and dw, even though the usernames will probably get mucked up along the way)

Oops, forgot that although I subscribe to you, you don't necessarily see my posts. Silly Thothmes. So follow the link A Birthday to Remember for gifty. Genfic in your honor.

Aw, thank you so much! And thank you for letting me know! I will look forward to reading it. :-D I love the icon too.

Had to stop to LOL at your own icon before I could respond. I make all my own icons, and it has been a bit of a steep learning curve, so I'm pleased that you liked it. I only have two icons that I feel proprietary about (they both show my kids, and I'd feel weird about having them wandering the web without me) so if you see one you want to adopt, feel free to use it. I'm not insistant on credit, although I won't turn it down when offered. I guess I'm just more of a writer than an artist. I feel much more protective of my words!
