Ladies of the Galactica

November 2009

I don't know if anyone knows the answer to this (if there is an answer) but I'm curious: I was recently reading the two novels in the 'Queen & Country' series. (It started as a comic book series, then came the two novels, and it's currently in the early stages of being adapted for the screen.)

What's BSG got to do with this?

The lead character's name is Tara Chace (and she shares several characteristics with Starbuck).

The 'Queen & Country' series predates BSG by two years. People who were following BSG from the beginning: Did RDM ever talk about how the process of creating the character of Starbuck for the miniseries, after they decided to make Starbuck female? I'm curious to know if he was familiar with the comic book series and if the name Kara Thrace is an homage to the comic book character.

Title: When the Oval Office is Barackin'....

Title: Light At The End
Author:

frolicndetour
Summary: Whatever happened to Tory Foster
Characters: Tory Foster, ensemble
Pairings: Gen
Rating: R for Mature Themes
Warnings: Nothing Ron didn’t do first
Title, Author and URL of original story: A remix of Comfort, by

rivrea
Beta Thanks: Huge thanks to

sabaceanbabe and

lyssie.
Author Notes: This was written for

bsg_remix and originally posted here. I was a bit unsure about remixing a drabble, but Comfort is such a great snapshot of Laura and what makes her tick that I really wanted to see if I could do the same for Tory, who is such an enigma in canon. The story grew from there into an attempt to make as much sense as I could of her character arc in Season Four.

Light at the End

Title: Watercolors
Characters Mini!Kara, Socrata Thrace, a couple of OCs
Rating/Warnings: PG. Brief references to Kara's less-than-Rockwellesque childhood.
Author's Notes Written for the Gen Battle at

karathracelives. The prompt (bundle) was: watercolors, leather jacket, slippery, nuance. The nuance is sort of... thematically implied, I hope. ;) Many thanks to

rose_griffes for the beta.

Kara never knew what got into her that day

Hello!
Made some icons from the latest four eps, only ten of them though. And only one teaser, to avoid spoilers!

please follow the link. i guess some pictures could be considered SPOILERS up till 4x19

comments are much appreciated!

Title: Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace
Pairing: OFC/Starbuck
Warnings: implied femslash
Spoilers: I think none, but if you want to be super careful you should watch 417 first.

Summary: Ginger 'Lightweight' Thomson is a Viper Pilot. She's also gay. And she's got a crush on Kara Thrace (who would have guessed).
I sing this song from her perspective and play along on my guitalele.

Disclaimer: This song is based on "Taylor the Latte Boy": Music by Zina Goldrich / Lyrics by Marcy Heisler.
Lyrics-adaption (and probably wrong chord-guesswork) by me.
In this song I reference the TV show 'Battelstar Galactica' which I of course do not own and with which I am in no way affiliated.
Ginger 'Lightweight' Thomson is an original female character that I created.

Con-crit & comments are love! ♥

Take this fake-cut to my journal.
