*sigh*
My [livejournal.com profile] sga_art_santa is totally kicking my arse. :-(
I'm now on the 4th piece after totally abandoning the 3 previous ones (& all those hours & hours of work.)
Basically the prompt I've got just isn't something I can do. So after virtually crying with frustration I've decided I can only do what I'm capable of & I just really hope my recipient will receive it in the spirit it's given & hopefully like it a little at least.

On a brighter note - a funny Buddy-related story.
Bud's got a cuddly toy dog called Lt. Col. John Sheppard (what, what? He's got Rodney the Reindeer too! *g*)
Anyway we went up to my Mom's & she'd bought him a new toy - exactly the same as Lt. Col. John Sheppard, except a different colour. While Bud was playing happily with his new toy I was musing what we should call him. Mr B immediately piped up, "Dave."
So there you go - Dave Sheppard! *g*

We watched the season opener of 'Leverage' last night. How cool is this show? It's got the whole Ocean's Eleven vibe & slickness plus a kick-ass Christian Kane!
I really hope they can keep it up!

I'm afraid that poor old Lt. Col. JS & Rodney the Reindeer are rather the worse for wear these days - missing ears, legs, antlers - that kind of thing. *g* Bud does love his toys to destruction!

Mr B watches SGA - we're both big sci-fi peeps. Though he doesn't go into the whole fandom side of stuff like I do. *g*

I loved Leverage, wasn't it great? I've always liked Tim Hutton and I adore Christian Kane. I liked the vibe they had together, too--"We're not friends, you know."

It was so fast-paced & witty.
I liked the way they didn't automatically go with stereotypes either - like the 'crazy' one being a normal looking girl & not some wild-eyed, grinning madman!
Plus CK doing his Klingon impression was just so cute! *g*

I thought that was pretty cool too. They kinda played with that, making Aldis Hodge the computer geek and Christian the tough one, where the stereotype would have probably been the other way around.

"She's crazy."
"That's what I said!"

Exactly - they could've easily gone the other way around but this makes it more interesting. :-)

Heh - 'I've already forgotten your names.' *g*

You really can only do what you can do, P.

I'm sure whatever you come up with will be lovely - you are so talented. And I hope the recipient does indeed accept it in the way it is meant.

I'm sorry it's giving you so much grief. *Hugs gently*

Thanks so much, N.
*hugs*
Yes, I've just gone with it & have tried to incorporate some of the prompt (as best as I can!)
Attempt #5 is looking hopeful!

That is all you can do.

Oh, good.

I am certain that your [livejournal.com profile] sga_art_santa recipient will love your piece! Your work is always so gorgeous, so please don't worry! *hugs*

I finally got my [livejournal.com profile] sga_santa fic coded and sent in - such a relief! Now I'm looking forward to reading all the fab stories when posting starts!

Oh, and it sounds like Christmas has already come for Buddy! I love the sound of Rodney the Reindeer in particular! *g*

Thanks so much, cep! Well, attempt #5 is looking hopeful.
*crosses fingers*

Yay for sending off your story! Your recipient is so lucky - it really is a fabulous fic!
I'm like you now - eager for the posting to begin. :-)

Well, I'm afraid that poor Rodney the Reindeer no longer has any arms or legs as a certain someone pulled them off! He did complain to Lt. Col. JS Dog but unfortunately he no longer has any ears (or a tail!) & couldn't hear him! ;-)

If you need an art-beta (or whatever it's called), second set of eyes, or just someone to tell you not to worry, I'll be at my computer tonight around 8pm-ish.

*hugs*

ETA: My Dad has a reindeer on his window and now guess what I call it?

I was just freaking out about my own sga_art_santa and I sent it to Bluespirit for feedback and she totally nailed all those concerns I was cowardly ignoring about it! I wondered about what to call it too! Art-beta or what?

I want a Dave reindeer now!

ETA: fixed grammar.

I'm actually going out this evening (sis-in-law's birthday) but I thought I'd make a heavily filtered post with the graphic (heh, pretty much just you & Liresius at this point *g*) & if you wouldn't mind taking a glance, I'd be very grateful. Thank you!

Yay for another Rodney the Reindeer! *g*

Thanks so much for the peop talk, L - I needed it! :-)

Well, I've managed to do something - attempt #5!

Yeah, I totally collapsed over Dave Sheppard the Dog!
Don't worry - Bud's already seen off Dave's ears & tail!

I loved Leverage. Only seen the 1st ep so far but it was fabulous.
