I was so far behind the curve I believed it until I hit the comments. Heh.
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

It's not as if we haven't seen appeals for financial support in connection with fanfic before, although in the specific case I recall it was at least the person's own fanfic that was being offered for a fee.

There's someone in SG-1 who sells PDFs of her zines for $8 a pop. I suspect she hasn't figured out that once anyone has a copy of it, they can pass it along to anyone else indefinitely.

If I only had a brain...
Some day, just once, I want to read a fic in which the participants are self-conscious in their nudity.

SGA has a number of those, because David Hewlett isn't as fit as Joe Flanigan. So we sometimes get McKay flustered about himself.

That cracks me up, as David Hewlett himself is gleefully naked or nearly so in just about every film I've seen him in, whereas Flanigan has remained buttoned up as tightly as possible since his Dawson's Creek days.

How do I not know this?

He was an older man that Jen had a fling with early on. Captain of a boat, I think. And then he came on too strong and Jen learned An Important Life Lesson.

I really liked Jen. Although the way that she was depicted as this wounded creature who had Learned That Sex Was Bad did my head in almost as much as the fact that all the adults seemed to be Joey/Dawson shippers. Insane! (And yet I was very hooked on it for a season, in a love-hate kind of way, back when Pacey was in love with Joey. Spike and I were both glued to our respective TV sets. When the two of them returned from a summer spent on Pacey's boat and we were supposed to believe that they'd done nothing but read to each other, notwithstanding the Big Love and the teen hormones and all that jazz...well, my eyes rolled so hard that they actually fell out of my head, and made me incapable of watching any more episodes.)
Er. Off topic.
So, Shepherd and McKay - they nestle snugly alongside Fraser and Ray in my head, with the adorability and the snark and the fluffy goodness. Not like Clex, which just broke me into little pieces. Yay for John and Rodney, and their geeky geeky adorability.
...aaaand now I want fic. Damn it. Will not go trawling for McShep at school. That would be bad.

...and I wrote "McShep" in a conscious attempt to be slightly opaque, what with the whole inappropriateness of talking slashy goodness from work, and yet now I feel sort of dirty for using the portmanteau.
Gak.
head explodes.
