Happy Wednesday!

I'm taking search offline sometime today to upgrade the server to a new instance type. It should be down for a day or so -- sorry for the inconvenience. If you're curious, the existing search machine is over 10 years old and was starting to accumulate a decade of cruft...!

Also, apparently these older machines cost more than twice what the newer ones cost, on top of being slower. Trying to save a bit of maintenance and cost, and hopefully a Wednesday is okay!

Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, Elizabeth Weir, Teyla Emmagan, Radek Zelenka
Rating: Mature
Length: 13,319
Content Notes: no AO3 warnings apply
Creator Links: Rachael Sabotini on AO3
Themes: Arranged marriage, AU - royalty, Diplomatic marriage, Politics, Mutual pining

Summary: "It is your duty to the empire to marry Rodney McKay."

Reccer's Notes: This is an interesting romantic romp set in a somewhat steampunk AU where John is married off by his cousin the empress Elizabeth, to Rodney, a leader in the neighbouring nation. John is part of treaty agreements to negotiate peace. Consummating his marriage proves difficult due to Rodney being a workaholic, anxious about never having had sex with a man before, and, that common marriage of convenience trope, as John can end the marriage after a year and a day if he chooses. There are obstacles and pining and inadequate communication, but eventually John makes a place for himself in Rodney's labs, proves his loyalty, and we get the happy ending. A fun read!

It's challenge time!

Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.

Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished! Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!

Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.

Go!

PROFILE GENERATOR

Click here for links to the generator

The Profile Generator lets you build a full RP profile layout with themed presets, manual colour controls, curated font pairings, image layouts ranging from a single image to multi-image grids, and a mix of fixed info blocks plus collapsible sections for longer content. You can fill in basics, quotes, tags, mini info modules, and dropdown sections for things like history, headcanons, personality, trivia, or whatever else your character has accumulated after refusing to stay simple.

It has: a live preview that updates as you edit, a separate browser preview for checking the finished result on its own, dark mode for when your eyes are tired, and an A11y mode when you want a clearer, higher-contrast editing interface. When you are finished, use Copy Code and paste the generated HTML into Dreamwidth. with included( <lj-raw> wrappers) and paste it onto Dreamwidth.

Animated preview of ten Signal Static playlist codes

 

Signal Static · batch 01

The first ten Signal Static playlist codes, built around older media, signal graphics and retro hardware.

The set started as a playlist code for my character in Diadem, then grew into a broader run of layouts. The reference point is retro hardware, display graphics and older media formats rather than literal transit styling.

01. Amber Shift 02. After Hours 03. Silver Dial 04. Blue Current 05. Stereo Deck 06. Archive Edition 07. Pocket Glow 08. Autochanger 09. Teal Register 10. Chrome Signal
