I don't think you're necessarily wrong, SA, although Daniel himself is pretty much statistically improbable. But, you know, there's MarySues and MarySues, and nearly every characterization has an element of wish-fulfillment in it.

I found the whole thing to be just a classic fannish engagement with the text. It's pure id, but with plot, and a readable style that just keeps dragging you along.

In that way, it reminds me a bit of KodiakkeMax's In the Company of Ghosts, although it's not as well done.

Yikes! Just got several pages into a post-Atlantis SG-1/SGA crossover that I was liking pretty well when it suddenly turned into Sheppard and Jonas Quinn making like Heathcliff and Catherine. I was not ready for that.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Wait wait wait. That's the guy from Parker Lewis Can't Lose, right? (Actually, that's Parker Lewis, right?)

...okay, yeah, I have nothing to say about it, except that poor guy will never outlive Parker Lewis, the same way that Wossname is still Doogie Howser in our hearts.
