New SGA Story: The List




Thanks to FaithsQueen for the luscious MSP banner at the top of the website. You rock, my dear!


Stupidity R Us: Mice has taken the Fanfic 100 challenge for Stargate Atlantis, with Rodney and Carson as characters. This challenge is to write 100 stories about the chosen characters in response to a series of prompts. People from all kinds of fandoms are signing up for the challenge. To see what else is out there, check out the Big Damned Table!



Hi, I'm Mice. Welcome to my Hole in the Wall. It's not much to speak of, but I've got a hell of a lot of cheese -- Fic! I mean Fic! -- here. Lots of slashy goodness, so if you're under 18 or don't like boys with boys, you should turn tail and leave right now. If you're offended and you bitch at me, it's your problem, not mine.

About Mice:

Mice is a Sexy Senior Citizen who happens to like guys. Especially young, sexy guys with young, sexy guys. He watches smutty videos that aren't his, writes smutty stories, and attempts to get dates with young, sexy guys. He hasn't had much success with the getting dates thing, which is why he writes smutty stories and watches smutty videos that aren't his. A retired iconoclast and rabble rouser, he lives in the Washington, DC area.

Mice was abandoned as an infant at an ice station in Antarctica and raised by a flock of noble Emperor Penguins. These gentle, flightless giants of the ice treated him as their own son, teaching him the ways of the deep, wild sea. When he was finally rescued by a team of Russian geologists, he was held for study, then helped to escape by friendly American scientists, who also wanted to hold him for study. When Mice learned to talk, he expressed a distinct preference for herring, and a deep-seated fear of walruses. To this day, their shining ivory tusks make him shudder from his bones. Mice can be picked out of a crowd on a normal day by his insistence on wearing a tuxedo at all times.

Mice was raised in a Buddhist monastery in northern India, where he developed a fondness for bald men and chanting in Sanskrit. This goes a long way to explain his fetish for A.D. Walter Skinner, Captain Jean-Luc Picard, and villainous magnate Lex Luthor, but does nothing to hint at the reasons he mutters to himself in Hopi when nervous. He claims to have once seen the ghost of Walt Whitman. Others insist Mice was mistaken, and it was actually the ghost of Charles Darwin.

Mice is actually Hillary Rodham Clinton in a very convincing disguise.

Mice is actually Sir Edmund Hillary in a very convincing disguise.

Some of this might be true on alternate Thursdays. Maybe. Except the walruses. That's all true.
