Starbuck--please not to laugh, yes, I know she's butch--strikes me as kind of, well, straight,
It's sort of like the Jim Ellison effect, I think -- so macho that you can't see them sleeping with women?
Joyce: You don't think it's too obvious? I think I look like I have a cat on my head. Buffy: But a very well groomed cat. Joyce: Well that's a comfort.

If I only had a brain...
I've seen good Roslin/Starbuck. Both of them are pretty pragmatic about some things.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
OMG, y'all can't see the Roslin/Starbuck? It's TOTALLY there. Not as intense as the Roslin/Apollo, but still pretty damn smokin'.
AFAIK Jenny O is writing femmecentric BSG fic, and it's some of her best stuff to date, imho.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
If it helps, I barely ever see non-canon pairings, no matter how hot they are.

No Roslin/Adama? Or have I just not seen enough BSG to get how totally not there that is?

Rheanna has some Roslin/Adama in her Five Things story, I know. (I don't read much BSG; I'd think there'd be some more out there.)

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Rheanna put in a dash of Roslin/Adama in her fabulous Five Deaths (Laura Roslin), and I liked that pairing a lot in that story. I suppose Adama-centric fic in which he's involved in a relationship are few and far between, because he's not what you'd call pretty. If he had a sort of face that'd appeal to collective fannish aesthetics, there would have been loads of fic--he's a wonderful character. And Adama/Tigh certainly has no lack of subtexts.
HA! X-posty Rheanna rec!

No, but he is what I'd call gorgeous. It's the craggy, world-weary, "my god, that man needs a good hug" look. But I'm odd like that.
I could buy Sharon/Adama fic, pre-shooting.

I've taken a look at the crack van recs for Starsky and Hutch...is there any writers I should focus on?

I'm with you, connie. I wouldn't call Roslin pretty either, but I think they're both charismatic and compelling in their own ways. Which is to say, I'd totally do Adama.
