Animated Dragons!
Nov. 4th, 2009 03:28 pmEven though Dreamworks marketing wasn't even trying with the teaser trailer, I've been interested in this one since hearing that Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois of Lilo and Stitch were directing it. Plus, dragons, yay.
But now the full trailer is out and it looks pretty good.
The dragon looks adorably Stitchlike in his expressions. Not completely sold on the voice cast.

Characters: Bill Adama, Ensemble
Summary: Captain William Adama and the crew of the dragon Galactica are to be posted to the Americas; Britain's Aerial Dragon Corps having little use for the aging dragon. But first there is the treacherous crossing of the Atlantic to be taken; tensions between the crews of ship and dragon and family, and why has the Lady Laura Roslin taken passage aboard a dragon transport ship? And then there are rumours of sightings of the ships and dragons of a group of pirates known only as the Cylons... A Battlestar Galactica/Temeraire crossover AU.
Disclaimer: Not my characters, I'm just borrowing them. Not my world, I'm just playing in it. They belong to RDM, Syfy etc. and Naomi Novik.
( Galactica would not hear of him sending his apologies to Captian Nagala along with his excuses for not attending, even though she never much cared for social engagements that took Adama away from her before. )

Today walking into the kitchen and discovering that the dog and the cat had teamed up to get the treats that are kept on top of the fridge caused much hilarity and happiness, even as I shouted at them. The cat had jumped up and had knocked down the packet for the dog waiting below. Walking in I see the cat run off with one in his mouth and the dog had shoved his head in the gap between the fridge and the cabinets and was hoovering up as many of the spilled treats before I could pull him out of there.
My work ethic is still appallingly slow; I'm always embarrassed by how long it takes me to write such little chapters to my cracky Temeraire/bsg crossover. Laura's still not shown up yet. However, I did manage to finish something today.
( Dragon Galactica! )
You'll have to pretend that little smudge sitting on her leg there is Bill Adama being all stoically emo, people are much harder to draw.

( Still close enough to land for French patrols to be a potential issue, the ground crew were carefully going over Galcatica's harness and armour; spread out across the dragon deck crewmen picked over the leather straps, tugging and pulling at any piece that showed the slightest bit of wear, under the watchful eyes of both ground crew chief Galen Tyrol and Galatica herself. )

I shake my fist at you, 1% drop rate!
At least I can get the pet, and it looks wonderfully ugly/cute.

Authors Notes: It's probably not a good idea to go straight from writing little drabbles to a big epic thing, but this would not leave me alone. I have a rough idea of the plot but no idea how many parts it will take to finish it. If you notice any mistakes feel free to hit me.
( Captain William Adama was grateful for the shade Galactica provided from the relentless midday sun. Leaning against the great dragon's foreleg, both captain and dragon watched the impatient sailors climbing the rigging while remaining as far as possible from the dragon deck with resigned patience; the winds remained favourable yet their departure continued to be delayed. )

Onyxia encounter being upgraded for WoW's 5 year aneversary.
SQUEEEEEEEE!!111
Comming into WoW after Burning Crusade, I never got to experience the joys of Deep Breath, and it's just not the same when you can roflstomp her with a few others. Plus, the broodling pet will be a welcome addition to myobsessive compulsive pet collection, and it looks like you just need to log in during November to get that. And an Onyxia mount would be freaking awesome, she has a better design than the rather boring drakes, but I probably won't get my virtual mits on that with my raid ennui.
And for those of you who have no idea about WoW raiding, this flash animation is a perfect example (yes, it is that one, but 50 DKP minus never gets old).

Of course, actually writing the thing is a whole other matter. A poor concentration span, a tendency towards procrastination and a mental block when it comes to writing about things I like does not add up to a high level of productivity.

Jun. 1st, 2009 10:15 amReading this, I'm kind of sad we were denied the utter crack of Ron Moore running a Dragon Riders of Pern tv show. And I am curious as to what horrors Ron Moore's writing issues meeting Anne McCaffrey's writing issues would have created.
