So, y'all read Rageprufrock's Bell Curve, or: Ladies' Night at the Boom Boom Room, right? That's the AU SGA McKay/Sheppard where John is Rodney's TA at CalTech? (Hysterically funny, omg brilliant.)
Well, she just posted a shortish sequel, called Learning Curve. I suspect, from looking at her LJ, she may be posting stories every day from now to Valentine's Day...
Ooh, yay. I think I might have to go back and start that one from the beginning.
Watch faster.
haha. I KNOW! But I'm trying to use Farscape as a reward for actually getting stuff done. Like, I can't buy season 3 until I finish doing my taxes.
Thanks Consuela, that's just the thing to wash the taste of the latest SGA Flashfiction entry out of my mouth. (The author writes a sequel to "Trinity" in which
it's revealed that it wasn't poor woobie Rodney's fault that a planet blew up after all... and Weir and Zelenka apologize... and Rodney finally gets the respect he deserves... and I had to stop reading before the Mary Sue showed up to marry him and live happily ever after.
)
Ooh, good thing
I held off on that one.
She really, really is. And a good egg, too.
And Oh, Dear, Matt. Thanks for the warning. ::sigh::
Happy to take one for the team. At least fics like that don't tend to crop up that often on the list. Usually even if a submission deals with characters or pairings I'm not interested in, the writing itself is good.
I wonder if the author realizes feedback in the single digits (and 3 of the 7 comments are her replies) is the equivalent of a room full of people whistling and looking away studiously?
God, Prufrock is good.
Really? Her stuff doesn't quite do it for me. It's a fun read, and I do read, but it never quite clicks.
Plus, she keeps insisting that John has a Southern accent, which...no.
I've wondered about that from a variety of authors. Lots of people talk about him drawling, but Flanigan sounds West Coast to me. Definitely not Texan, as I've seen crop up more than once.
