Fic: What She Can Do

Title: What She Can Do
Fandom: Stargate
Rating: K+
Genres: gen, friendship
Summary: Evan Lorne needs to vent off frustration, Laura Cadman was bored on the Hammond. Here's where they meet. Tag to jo_graham's and amygriswold's The Lost.
A/N: This is my second tag after Best Laid Plans to the Legacy series written by Jo Graham, Melissa Scott and Amy Griswold, playing sometime during The Lost, after the Hammond finally makes it to Atlantis. It was inspired by the question "But where are Lorne and Cadman during that dinner?". After a little chat with Jo on her LJ regarding timeline, I decided to be a little vague, so this is not excatly at the time of the dinner but somewhere in the couple of days that the Hammond stayed in Atlantis. There are a couple spoilers for the series in the story, so if you haven't read Homecoming and The Lost and don't want to be spoiled, probably not read it. Everyone else... have fun ;)

PS.: Yes, mackenziesmomma, I believe in the power of foot notes. You should, too.

synecdochic: LiveJournal’s DDoS and Russian Politics

This is an excellent round up of the problems that have plagued LJ of late, which are, in turn an interesting insight into the implications of running something that truly is a global service. The short version: if you are an English language user who is tempted to complain about LJ's recent down time, you should probably shut the fuck up before you embarrass the rest of us. And if you are an English language user who isn't actually *paying* for the service, and you're tempted to complain, please make do so a long, long way away from me, because I'd hate to have to beat you with something heavy.

As annoying as the downtime has been, it has served to bring to light the "other half" of LJ's user base in Russia, and to explain the importance of the journal platform to freedom of speech in that country. Enough so there are those who would see that platform go down. It really makes you think about the difference perspective makes. For us, LJ is a place we keep up with our friends, do memes, roleplay, write. For Russia, it's the place where people get a chance to know the truth of what's going on in the country and for ordinary people to have a voice.

Certainly something to think about, any way.
