SGA is taking over my life.

kateI'm reading fic, a lot of it (including the bad stuff, which just isn't like me), and watching several eps a night (except tonight because there was too much fic) and only nominally noodling with the drum corps fic that's likely to derail my serious attempts at finishing my damn Jared/Colin fic.
So the first amazing thing I read, I recced, and then I read something pretty darn good which I didn't even comment on (which is also not like me, but I'm tired - my brain is not functioning at 100%). And now, I've done what I always do when a fandom threatens to overwhelm me: found a couple of authors whose stuff I adore and read everything they've ever written. I am not done reading everything yet (not to mention I've got all the Ronon/Radek fics from Wraithbait cued up to read on the shuttle to work tomorrow). So, when I am done (and I still have to read through a couple of other authors that I've had recced to me before), I'm hoping to put up a decent recs page. I think at least a few people on my flist are in SGA; hopefully that won't be a hardship for the rest of you.
Is there anyone out there who has real live experience with drum corps? I know people who did it, including a guy who wrote drills and another who was a drum major, though I'm not close enough to either of them to email for advice. I did marching band myself, but trust me when I say that comparing high school marching band and drum and bugle corps is a little like comparing peewee baseball and the World Series. (Sorry for the baseball metaphor - I just wanted to use the word peewee.) It's really more like apples and oranges. Drum corps is a thing of it's own.
It's late, I'm tired. I just want to put something up because I don't post often enough and I miss you all.

gayalithiel, when are you coming to Philly again? Also, I'm home in another week and a half - I don't suppose we could manage another 'pop by for pizza on my drive through town', could we? And what the hell, flooding? I saw knitting_hobbit's post.

Much thanks, I love a picky grammar beta, and I will probably send this first chapter your way as soon as I finish it up (don't hold your breath, it is quite likely to be a month or more, as I'm not really spending much time on it). And again - thank you for the offer, I REALLY appreciate it.
