"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

See, yeah, that's exactly what I mean. Your usage I totally get. It's the occasional "Oh Gawd, that feels good, Jack -- oh Gawd, more Worcestershire sauce!" that confuses me.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

You've been reading She Of The Very High Output, haven't you?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

"Oh Gawd, that feels good, Jack"

This seems incompatable with Daniel's (I'm assuming Daniel here, 'cause if someone's having Teal'c say, "Gawd" I don't wanna know about it) usual diction.

If someone's doing an SG-1/Popslash crossover, maybe I could see it. Or maybe an SG-1/LOTRPS crossover. Think Elijah might say "gawd" if properly provoked?

I have! Man, it's amazing! Where does she find the time?

I have no idea. I've gotta admit, I kind of admire her. I mean, it's not like they're drabbles. (I don't admire her enough to read them, mind. I've been shown some of the high points, though.)

I know! I wish I were that prolific! On the other hand, part of the reason the stories are so long is that there's a lot of "He lifted his hand and placed it on the handle of the door to the briefing room. Pressing down with his thumb while pushing forward with the base of his hand, he heard the door unlatch and walked through. There were five people in the room: two brunettes, one blond, and two others. He said hello to them."

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

Thanks for the link, connie. I don't think I have read the first one.

Also thanks for the moosefic link. Gah! I will never, ever look a bootlaces the same way again.

And I don't think the typos were intentional. Just unbetaed. I don't know why I'm all Defendery, I really don't! It's just, in a fandom with such delights as: [snipped to protect my sanity] I feel protective of the ones that actually make me laugh!

Emily, you have a very good point. I've been away from the badfic for a while, and clearly I've become more sensitive.

There were five people in the room: two brunettes, one blond, and two others.

I have to know. Who were they? Bald, red-heads, what? All that detail, and then left hanging.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

The mpreg story was funny, and more of a parody of badfic than badfic itself. Still, it left me thinking it could have been better.

She Of The Very High Output

What's scary is that I've only been reading SG fic for a couple of months, I am not involved with any online SG communities, and I'm still 99% sure I know who you mean.

Emily, do you have a livejournal?

Dunno. I was just parodying. But she does that! Detailed, unnecessary description, and then -- "several months later..."
