Eternal Refuge

SGA - OTP

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 09:57:41 GMT

Over the last few months I have been gradually working through my OTPs from some of the shows I watch & re-watch. This month its the turn of Stargate Atlantis ... and despite what some people think, I am a fan of John Sheppard & Elizabeth Weir. In the end I wrote a finale to the show to resolve the fact that they were separated!

These are for round 6 of ships20in20

Cat 3 - Pull me close

Cat 5 - I'll be right there

Snowflake Challenge #12

In your own space, set yourself some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I want to get my 2 x W.I.P.s finished.
Again I am looking at doing more work on banners etc
I want to compltely re-vamp my garden. It had been an aim last year, but I had to have work done and it got completly ignored ... so that's a plan (again) this year.
I aim to get back into playing my clarinet & saxophone.

Well, I do wonder how many of those will get done!

Snowflake Challenge #6

Mon, 23 Jan 2023 15:39:57 GMT

In your own space, post the results of your fandom scavenger hunt. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

1. A favorite character
2. Something that makes you laugh
3. A bookshelf
4. A game or hobby you enjoy
5. Something you find comforting
6. A TV show or movie you hope more people will watch
7. A piece of clothing you love
8. A thing from an old fandom
9. A thing from a new fandom

1. Come on, look at my name. It may be the name I chose years ago, but the character of Spike (from BtVS) is still amazing ... love his story, his highs & lows ... and a great actor to portray it!

2. This is a Christmas card made by a friend. I loved the Val Kilmer version of Batman, and love Ewoks (neither of which Chis likes), but she drew this card of Val Kilmer as an Ewok ... but, didn't realise till she saw me open it, that he has 2 sets of ears ... But that just makes the card more special, and gives me a smile.

3. I have got loads & loads of books (& bookshelves), but this small section is special ... books written by my Dad (including his PhD), a poetry book of Mum's poetry, books written by French friends, a couple by one of my brothers ... and a couple written by a friend and partially dedicated to me.

4. I was brought up doing jigsaws, ans still love them. This one was a Christmas gift from a brother, and is of London ... which is a city I visit every year, and love.

5. My faith. For me I love knowing that God is in charge ... and I have a future in Heaven.

6. I rewatch a lot of shows ... most of which have been loved over the years, so hard to find one that needs more viewers. Although Blakes 7 was only ever shown on mainstream TV once, back in the 70's - 80's. I also love The Champions ... a silly show from late 60's.

7. Not a great clothes lover ... although I do still have Mum's wedding dress from 1952

8. As I just said, Blakes 7 is a long-time favourite show ... and I was a member of their fan club during the late 80's ... and this was my mug I used, now in a cabinet in my lounge

9. I tend to enjoy fan-fiction from my newer fandoms ... and these are on my Kindle (this is my one that I bought just before Christms, complete with cover

In your own space, create a fanwork. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Any of you who look back though this journal will see that I make a lot of icons, and really enjoy the challenge. However banners, etc are something I find very hard to do ... so I was a good girl and made a banner as the answer to this challenge.

And, as you can see by my name, I do love the story arc of Spike (in BtVS) ... this image is from early season 7

10 Stargate Atlantis Icons

Thu, 19 Jan 2023 11:47:46 GMT

I have made 10 icons for Round 44 of monthlyinspo with a theme of Magenta ... now, I am hoping that these are OK from the colour point of view. That's the interesting thing about being colourblind ... I question myeself, even though I did use the colour banner that was used in the inspiration post on my art program. Anyway, these are all from season 1 of Stargate Atlantis ...

Snowflake Challenge #9

Tue, 17 Jan 2023 15:09:21 GMT

Well I did say I was going to dip in and out ... I will do some of the missing challenges at some point, but will do this one now (one less for the future!)

Challenge #9

In your own space, celebrate a personal win from the past year: it can be a list of fanworks you're especially proud of, time you spent in the community, a quality or skill you cultivated in yourself, something you generally feel went well. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I keep saying I am going to get back to writing, well last year I did add a bit to my Spuffy WIP.

As I mentioned in Snowflake #1, I found a new fandom in Stargate Atlantis, and shipping John/Elizabeth. Well, as I did when I fell into fandom I am writing a fic to change/add onto the ending. It is still a WIP, however I hope to get it finished ASAP ... and it will then be up on my AO3 account - Debris4spike

So although I can't share that with you, I am proud of the fact I am getting back into fandom writing.

Snowflake #1

Sun, 01 Jan 2023 13:23:14 GMT

As I have done this each year, I shall probably did in and out of it. We shall see how it goes!

Challenge #1

In your own space, update your fandom information! Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

For any of you who know me, not much has changed over the last few years ... although I at long last watched Stargate Atlantis ... and loved it. I am a great fan of John/Elizabeth (and am in fact slowly wring a fic).

But other than that my fandoms are Spuffy from BtVS (the series & no comics), Katheryn Janeway/Chakotay from Star Trek Voyager (haven't seen Prodigy yet)

Still love a lot of TV series ... but just look at my Profile, as not much changes. ... One boring girl!
