'Never Leave Me'

And I can't help but trip over the fact that there was no such thing as the US Air Force at that time.
HA. That's true. I'd forgotten that.
It's been everywhere on my flist today/yesterday. There was a really fantastic HP multimedia story, set in the Black house (HP) that this reminds me off. But I think it'll (by it I mean the SGA story) be really entertaining nonetheless.
Crap. I have a day and a half to pick my yuletide nominations.

I'm so confused by the nomination process. I thought that if a fandom showed up on the current master list that it was nominated, only it turns out that may not be true. So I have no idea what I'm going to do.
Too much knowledge is a dangerous thing. Half of SGA fandom is squeeing over a new story, an AU set in England during WWII. And I can't help but trip over the fact that there was no such thing as the US Air Force at that time.
I didn't want to get too engrossed and read the whole thing during work hours, but from a brief glance isn't it set in the RAF rather than the American armed forces?

Um. I know I read the community. I think it was this morning. Very early this morning.
I'm tempted to just skip this step and hope that people nominate what I want, except I don't even know what I want, and I know I will kick myself two days after nominations when I remember what I'm forgetting.

It's set in England but-- you know, it never even occurred to me. Is she suggesting that Sheppard is British? Because I don't think I can wrap my brain around that. Gay Penguins are easier to accept than a British Sheppard.
Wait, wait, no, IIRC there's a whole thing about getting information about Shep from US authorities. I think. Oh, my head hurts.
Sheppard might be flying with the Brits. It was a while before we got into the war formally.
Nope, it's 1942-43.
I dunno, then. All I've got is my father's Army Air Corp pin, which I snitched behind my mother's back when he died.

I almost did. And the master list is *really* confusing. Dexter was on there, and I was like, awesome! I don't have to nom it! But then I got worried that it wasn't *actually* on there, so I nommed it anyway. Whatever, as long as it's there.

Admittedly I haven't read it, but he could have enlisted with the RAF. Americans did that routinely, before America joined the war and during it, just so they could fly.
