Naked NaNo - Story Update

Well,

I've reached the half way mark for my goal and it's only day 8 so that's pretty fucking cool. I think... that I might have underestimated how big my plot actually is and I might push towards 75k but who knows. We'll see what I can fit into 50k before we go changing goals.

Details below:



Title: The Search
Author: Keira Marcos
Series: Sentinels of Atlantis
Series Order: 20  (Episodes 1 to 19 are on my website)

Word Count Goal: 50,000

Summary:

  • John is drawn to explore an off-world facility but Rodney is concerned by the impact the facility has on his Sentinel.
  • Blair Sandburg and James Ellison take Jack O'Neill and Patrick Sheppard into the jungles of South America on a journey to the Temple of the Sentinels.
  • Anne Teldy and Allison Porter hitch a ride on a submarine to the Ross Sea in search of what appears to be another Ancient outpost.
  • Sam and Daniel sneak into Egypt to search for a hidden tomb.
  • David and Andy take a trip to Great Britain where they meet up with Carson Beckett.
  • Matt Sheppard and Chase Harris  step through the gate to a planet on the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy and finds something rather unexpected.

No, no dear, ladies don't snort. Or smirk. Or belch. Or swear, perspire, run, talk loudly or get their names in the paper(except when they are born, marry or die). You my dear are no lady, and aren't we glad?! (Neither am I, btw, but I can fake it ;D)

I really appreciate your efforts to help all your minions increase their stamina and survive on less sleep (and more porn). I vow to bear up under the strain, struggle thru, maintain, and grab all the fic I can read with greedy little hands. You are a true mentor. No, really.

I need more coffee so I can tackle your next SOA section!

You missed fart.

That means farting is back on the table and I can celebrate at my favorite Latin American restaurant at lunch today. *\o/*

Oh no dear, ladies don't fart or even pass gas! They simply hold it until they explode (in a refined manner) on some unsuspecting person. Husbands are good for this.

I just mentioned a few things, really, not even close to the whole list. I left out that they don't blow their noses in public either.

Of course, ladies don't fart or pass gas! They have "the vapors." Didn't you wonder what was going on when Mammy said Miss Scarlett was having "the vapors?" She was upstairs, farting her ass off!

At first pass, I read embarrassment between the lines as if you were exceeding the legal limit or something. (I realized later it was more likely to be Halo-induced exhaustion; hope the game-gasm was excellent!) I was off in a haze of:

Inner Slash Ho: Will there be extra megs of smut?
Inner English Teacher: (spits out ball gag) God, I hope so
Inner Bouncer: Weren't you frothing at the typos or something?
Inner English Teacher: Matt Sheppard got naked. Who gives a fuck about the typography?
Inner Sex Tourist: The jungles of Peru are usually good for a steamy romp...
...And so forth. You've got all the Inner Voice stirred up most indecorously. A snort was the least you had coming.
