But not a fragile, delicate, softly-spoken wee china doll of a thing.
Yeah. He didn't go to Abydos, and his career crashed and burned, but I can't imagine he'd be fragile. Just a little naive about the nastiness of the rest of the universe.
Frankly, I'd see him as a ...hell, plot-bunny. I'd see him as a scruffy shovel-bum, signing on to digs all over the world, still trying to find evidence to support his theories, living out of a backpack and looking entirely edible in worn jeans and leather jacket.
Shit.
you! Stop laughing! It's not funny!
Also, it would mean rewriting the PegB Pilot, which I so can't do. And I was more interested in the FemmePegB that some folks had going, with Sam instead of Jack, and Jacob, and all that...
Damn.
Clearly, it'll have to just be your own big AU.
Hey, Dana, there's a misattributed story in the update of the recs. Should I tell you, or do you not have time just now and I should remember it for later?

Damn. And I thought I fixed all the outstanding oopses last night.
I got your e-mail and replied earlier. I'll fix it when I get home; thanks for letting me know. (Whoops.)
Oh good. I felt my alternatives were "nagging pain in the tuchus" or "taking credit for something I didn't write," and while both suck only one gets me sent to the special hell. Thanks!

Bleargh. Really, all I want to do is change the characterization and backstory so Daniel is hot. ter. Hardly seems worthwhile, since I don't have a plot as such.
There's a new lj community -- sg_research -- and there's an interesting discussion about whether or not Sheppard is Air Force. People write him that way, but evidentally in Rising when he lists what he's flown they are all choppers and some are exclusive to the Army. His uniform isn't helpful to determining which he belongs to and then they are in the Atlantis uniforms (which are rather ugly and just not flattering on most people) so you can't tell from that. Also Sheppard being in the Army would explain the skills he showed in The Storm/The Eye (and other episodes).
So coming back from lunch I had a plot bunny (which I plan to write) of John and Rodney in bed, post sex, and Rodney says something snarky about John and the Air Force and John corrects him "the Army" which leads to bickering and bantering over the subject and why Rodney didn't figure it out.
And then they have sex.
