I'm the more sad, as I hadn't heard of her before and now I feel I have missed something great.
Strong like an Amazon.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

You have. Dr. Who (tenth version)/CJ Cregg, with promise of a forthcoming Methos three-way. Ah, crossover crack, how do I love thee.

After you first linked to fandom high a few weeks ago, Betsy, I went over and poked about a bit. I determined that there was no possible way I could hope to follow 1/10 of what was going on, without quitting my job and giving up all other leisure activities.
Fascinating but.

And Atlantis watchers should go read Salieri's The Lay of Celoni More, which may be the most creative Atlantis story I've yet read. Just brilliant. Gen.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
So much of Atlantis fic pairs up the two male leads, I'm almost surprised to be reminded that the slash isn't canon for the most part.
Oddly enough, I never ran into that problem with Angel.

What I find especially charming about SGA slash is the way in which writers cheerfully admit that "aliens made us do it" is a total wish-fulfilment fantasy -- and then go ahead and write it anyway, and do it well. It's as if they're on a mission from God to improve all the bad premises.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Lawrence Watt Evans used to regularly say that (paraphrasing) there's no really bad ideas, just unimaginative writers, and the older I get, the more I believe him.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
What I find especially charming about SGA slash is the penguins.
Crazy. But cute.
...oh, damn. And now I want to go and read more John/Rodney goodness, just because they're So. Damned. Adorable. In an almost Due South- ish kind of way. Bless.
Plus - Ronan. Or possibly Ronon. Teh hot. Gah.
