no_takebacksIt's a Gift Exchange!
It's a Love Meme!
NO, It's....
Here's How to Play
1) You leave a comment [let's call it a stocking] below, with a list of things you like (certain pilot scenes, favorite colors, memorable quotes, etc.).
2) People fill your stocking by responding to your comment with compliments, love, comment!fic, icons, holiday greetings, funny graphics, pretty pictures, bawdy limericks, etc. Basically anything they think you'll like.
Pretty easy, right? We thought this might be a nice way to be able to do something quick and fun with the fandom for the holidays especially for those folks who didn't have time for a bigger exchange, etc. It only takes a few seconds to leave someone a lovely comment they can enjoy, but hey if you're suddenly inspired to comment!fic it up or make a funny macro, MORE'S THE BETTER! Ask your qs in the first post!
ETA: Well originally we were going to try to do something fancy like screening comments so there would be a Christmas Day reveal, but logistics proved to be more than the Taragel could handle there. SORRY! Now it's just a wide open thread! HAVE FUN! (You can still post anon if you want to be crafty and "reveal" yourself later.)
ETA 2: Just because it's no longer Christmas doesn't mean the fun has to stop. Feel free to keep stuffing to your hearts' content.

Date: 2010-12-21 07:11 am (UTC)My favorite episode is Unfinished Business, both aired and extended. Loved the extended brig scene in Six of One, both memorial wall scenes (Maelstrom & Islanded), and Under the Wing as well. Of course what's not to like about the two big reunion scenes in Home I and HTBIM? :)
Memorable quotes: "Cause I'm Lee, and you're Kara and the rest of it isn't worth a damn." (Actually kind of sums up my feelings toward the last hour of the finale. ;) ) - Islanded
Well I think that's enough to go on. Hope I did this right. :)
"Yep, and a lot of things, ummm.. but mostly because I was afraid to admit how much I needed you... how much I needed anyone. I love you Kara Thrace." - UB extended
Taragel's Stocking
Date: 2010-12-21 08:11 am (UTC)My favorite non-pilots things about BSG are: the sense of family amongst the crew in the early seasons, Chief when he's being awesome and funny and not scary/violent (Chief on Kobol? Rocked the house), Crashdown (because I adore Sam Witwer for other fannish pursuits), Helo...because he's frakking Helo man!, Oh and Showboat. Someone give awesome Marcia Case something to do, would ya?
When it comes to colors, I like rainbow-colored anything (Way to not make a decision self!) and after that blue and yellow are my favorites. Bright, bold colors delight me (I am so not an earth tones kind of girl). I also have a strong but tragic affection for sparkly things.
Lately I have a real weakness for crossovers and I always love crack. When it comes to fic, banter is my fave thing ever. Academy fic or just pre-mini at all is always a joy.
I feel as though I am doing a crap job giving ideas. What else... The song Gravity by Sara Bareilles (the live/acoustic version) really reminds me of pilots.
Like most writers (vidders, etc.), I'm a bit of a comment whore, so if you wanted to tell me things about my stuff, that's pretty awesome.
Er, I think that's it. OK Shipper Nation, Stuff My Stocking! ;)

Date: 2010-12-21 01:02 pm (UTC)No there's no cut off, but yes, best to get your comment up early as more people can see it/fill it that way.
If participation is pretty low all around what with people preparing for the holidays, maybe we'll extend it to January 6 and they'll be Epiphany (LEEPIPHANY!?) Stockings!
All of that is no longer valid! Because we're busting this wide open! (No more screened comments!)

Date: 2010-12-21 01:44 pm (UTC)I also adore romantic kissy pilots with a smidge of angst.
Favorite lines:
"I believe you." (SoO)
"Bright Shiny Futures" (Scar)
"I am your friend. I love you." (Home)
"I love you, too." (UB)
"Truth stings don't it?" (UB)
"I'm glad I'm not working for you." (33)
I'm starting to completely love AU - usually modern day or Twelve Colonies AU

Date: 2010-12-21 01:50 pm (UTC)I love the "Daddy" issues they both have (mostly Lee on this one) and I love that they, at the same time, have the "best buds" vibe, and the "soul mates" vibe, and the "quarrelling siblings" vibe. (At the same time! How do they do that?)
I love the half-twisted competitive relationships both have with Bill. The family you're born with vs. the family you choose, totally.
As much as I love that Kara is a feminist hero and breaks all the stereotypes I love pilot!babies. I don't know why this is. I feel as a feminist I should be vaguely ashamed of this, as if I am trying to turn Kara from a kickass individual into a SAHM - but in my defence it might just be that I want proof a woman can be both! (well, I don't think Kara would stay at home. More likely Lee would. And I also want to disclaim that I don't believe "kickass individual" and "stay at home mother" are mutually exclusive concepts - I was just trying to draw a contrast. And I am just tying myself in knots here, LOL.)
Umm, eps. EoJ is one of my favourites. It's the angst that gets me - unlike some, I actually love that stuff! The tragic futility of: "So I won't divorce and you won't cheat. Where does that leave us?" "Trapped." gets me every time. I am a Shakespeare fangirl, so tragedy is my middle name. (Though I have my limits; angst that has no resolution or tragedy that is completely senseless
*cough*poof*cough*does not amuse me.)Umm, what else. I like graphics but I am more verbal than visual. Icons made for me would be cool though - I have heaps of spaces!
As you might guess from this comment, I am kind of rambly. I love thinky!thoughts, so if you have any theories of the meaning of life, pilots and everything, I would love to hear them.
Comments on my works are also welcome, that goes without saying. ;)
Comment!fic would be awesome on a stick. Don't care what it's about but the ramble above might give you some inspiration! Also love banter and wordplay.
What else... oh, songs! 'Jesse's Girl' reminds me of the Kara/Zak/Lee triad - with the added awesome coincidence of Rick Springfield actually being the original Zak. (I kid you not, this is true!)
OK, I gotta go to bed now and I've written a book here so go ahead and fill my stocking, ppls. Merry Christmas!

Date: 2010-12-21 02:57 pm (UTC)So, my stocking could really use an instruction manual (or quick tips) on things like how to find & post icons, pics & other LJ things I be lacking ;^)
Also, I'm a confessed angst addict. So, any dark bits you want to drop in is good for me, or those linky things to angsty goodness :)

Date: 2010-12-21 03:35 pm (UTC)Woot!
(Okay, I'm a little excited by this.)
My request is for non-BSG footage of Katee Sackhoff and Jamie Bamber. I would prefer the footage is online as I really don't feel like renting a bunch of movies right now.
Why....?
Well, because I have no clips to make the Intaglio mashup video with. This is actually the only fic I've written that I'm really feeling that I CAN'T vid. (And that's frustrating as hell). So if you have links to clips of Katee and Jamie in any roles OR at Cons or what have you SEND THEM THIS WAY!
*hugs you all*

Date: 2010-12-21 04:26 pm (UTC)My favorite BSG ep is UB, and I adore UBEX too. I love their fight in KLGI, it turned me to a hardcore K/L shipper. I love every single Lee and Kara interaction in the “Home”, “Resurrection Ship” and the mutiny story arcs. Also, I *adore* their scenes in "Scar" and oh, yes, their scene in EoJ and the Daybreak flashbacks. My favorite pilot!moment is probably the brig scene.
Let’s see, what else. I love anything pre-mini (especially if it involves Zak and deals with Kara and Lee’s forbidden attraction, hee). I love naughty, sexy pilots and I have a kink for rough sex and infidelity. And I am really enjoying any sort of AU stuff lately.
Also, favorite pilots songs... "The Special Two" by Missy Higgins, "Gravity" by Sara Bareilles and "You and Me" by Lifehouse.
Graphic stuff and fanmixes always made me happy. Comment!fic would super awesome, too. The thing I love the most about pilots is the shippers, though, so any sort of lovely comment, thinky!thoughts or just a “merry X-mas” would be really appreciated. See? I am that easy ;) Merry X-mas! <3
