Heat Wave by Richard Castle

Posted on October 23, 2009 by sokorra

I got this book mainly because its a tie-in novel for castle, which is probably one of the most unique procedural. And Nathan Fillion rocks. But I digress. This is about the book.

Its about an NYPD detective named Nikki Heat, her two associates Raley and Ochoa, the ME Lauren and a reporter by the name of Jameson Rook (Which actually isn’t too bad of a name). They investigate the murder of Real Estate CEO Matt Starr.

I liked it. It had mystery, banter and a touch of romance. There were certain things that I thought could have been better (I would have liked to have seen Rook’s POV sometimes). If you like the show, you’ll like the book because it reads like an episode. You can figure out who is who in the book quite easily.

I wouldn’t mind reading more of these. Also, I want to know what Kate Beckett thinks of page 105.

Possible Fic Openers

Posted on May 19, 2009 by sokorra

Found a fortune cookie the other day that seemed perfect to open a chapter with, kind of like how some start it off with a lyric. Here is a list so I don’t forget them.

Though I am not naturally Honest, I am so sometimes by chance.

Compromise is always wrong if it means sacrificing a principle.

Your ability to love will help a child in need (this is not one I’ll probably use.)

A sense of humor is one of your greatest assets

One cannot know the best that is in him

Experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want.

Fandom Pet Peeves

Posted on February 19, 2009 by sokorra

Over the last couple of days I have come across story after story where the author doesn’t seem to understand one thing. Author Notes should not be in sections. They should be together, either at the top or the bottom of the story. You can have notes at the top and at the bottom, but not through out the actual story. It pushes the reader out of the story.

The story section of your fic should not include author notes, author commentary, or author questions. The header of your story should not be longer then the story itself. if you have that much to explain, you have more writing to do.

Sorry about this rant but it is becoming a pet peeve of mine to be reading a story and suddenly have the author talking to me as if I was watching a commentary. If you really want me to know it, place it with your header or footer. Don’t interrupt story time.

Another thing that gets me? When people post that they won’t update untill so many people review. Its not going to happen. That just makes people want to run. Your fic is not a good hostage. If people are going to review, they will. Asking for reviews is ok, especially if your making sure people know you want con-crit. But saying you won’t post till people review might make your reviews go down.

As yet untitled NCIS/SG-1 fic prologue

Posted on February 13, 2009 by sokorra

Author’s Notes: This is a rough draft. I plan on writing more into this. Especially at the end. Delve more into Nicholas, and in particular his relationship with Tony. Katarina;s name may also change. She’s dead (I’m trusting Gibbs and not Tony on this one, because the writers didn’t keep a correct way of wiether she was alive or not.)

Spoilers: All 10 seasons of SG-1, first 5 seasons of NCIS, particularly seasons 1-2. Nothing heavily episode related, but NCIS and SG have things that are said in them that filter through out the whole show (like people teasing Tony about the Transsexual he made out with)

Basically, right now know that Vala and Cameron are at the SGC, as is Sam. Sam & Jack are involved in a serious relationship. Paul Davis has been promoted to Lt. Colonel and is currently helping Kate set up an investigative section of Homeworld Security.

Ziva and Tony are kinda together. They aren’t holding each other to any sort of commitment and both are thinking of ending it, amicably.

Jenny did not die. So ignore anything about the season 5 finale or later. Kate did not die, but she hasn’t been working at NCIS since her attack (where she did die, but they were able to bring her back with the technology the SGC had available).

Umm….yeah, thats basically it I think. If not I’ll revise this later on. Proabably when this becomes a publishable –at-an-archive stage.

The problem with stories that go on in your head is..

Posted on February 10, 2009 by sokorra

That you get scenes that are totally not part of the story being planned.

Like I have this scene in my head of Kat (who, given that I see her being a little like Abby, might actually in fact be like the person I know as Kat) wanting a pet Iguana but Tony saying no (and Kate laughing her butt off about.). Now she just wants a pet, so she moves on to other animals trying to find one that her parents will allow (and that their apartments will allow). And during a case, there is a dog that has to go up for adoption because its owner died and it has no one to take of it, so Tony decides that its the perfect pet for Kat, since its a older dog whose been around alot of people, and for some odd reason it just hits him as the right thing to do. And Kat is very happy about it.

But given the story takes place when Kat is 2 and not 6 or 7 like she would be in the scene above, it gets annoying when that is the scene that’s running through your head.

Why can’t it be the scene where Jack and Gibbs argue over jurisdiction?

Ooooo…Jack and Gibbs in the elevator conference room. Discussing whose got what rights and coming to an agreement……

Ficlet

Posted on February 5, 2009 by sokorra

Ok, this just came out in a stream of consciousness. Its probably not at all canonically correct (well, its AU, but I’m referring to the characterization) and really is just me writing till I stop. So read at your own risk. I may post it somewhere later if I feel happy with it.

EDIT: I’m not so happy with it. Its here to get constructive criticism. Still a RAOR type of story. Its actually not finished, but I couldn’t figure out how to save it from OCC ness if I continued. It does have complete sentences though, and doesn’t end halfway through a sentence like a drabble I posted earlier (on another journal).

Possible Canon Story

Posted on January 31, 2009 by sokorra

There were a series of fanfics for the X-files that I really enjoyed that were from various characters as the series developed during the first two seasons and how the relationships got to be where they were. And really that has nothing to do with my possible story except that it is a similar concept.

My idea was to a series of Kate fics, her thoughts as she spends her first year as an NCIS agent. Starting with Yankee White. It would take place in and between episodes, but it would pretty much stick to canon as far as things go. Although I’m sure a tad bit of AU will be involved since I’m a shipper and you are bound to get at least Abby/McGee in this if not Tony/Kate. It would be light, because it is season 1. If I get Season 1 done, and it seems to go well, I’ll probably do Season 2, which will have more T/K.

I’m not going to think about season 3 yet. If I get through season 2, I’m going AU. Because I can, and usually do.

But I think the first story will take place during Yankee White, while she’s lying there sick, and a little of it post episode. Basically her thoughts on Tony, Ducky and Gibbs (Did she meet Abby? Oh well, looks like another rewatch).

We shall see….
