My
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!

Date: 10 Dec 2008 12:24 pm (UTC)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*

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

Date: 10 Dec 2008 12:35 pm (UTC)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*

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!

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! ;-)

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*

Ooh! I've started dl-ing Leverage. I haven't heard anything about it yet. Thanks for the tip.

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.
