Oh, do tell. Is it the whole "McKay is sexy/no he's not" argument?
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

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
...ha. The entry's friendslocked now. That was fast.
I actually didn't read enough to get the details, because it was clearly one of those OMG That Bitch! exchanges and while I'm all in favor of folks having that kind of conversation backchannel I really don't enjoy reading them myself. Something about Shalott's story, I think, and whether Rodney was being an asshole in 48 Hours. Or something.

Ah.
Shalott's story was the first of her SG universe stories I didn't love to death, I think in part for some of the reasons other people have stated elsewhere. Also possibly because the quality of the writing didn't overwhelm my extreme t shrug about the characters. And the plot kept getting derailed by sex scenes.
At least to me.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I haven't read shalott's latest--I did like her previous SGA story a lot, but that was funny, well-plotted with the sex at the end that made sense. Maybe I'll give it a miss then.
And the plot kept getting derailed by sex scenes.
Heh. That was my problem with Iolokus--good plot, lovely writing, but by book 3, I was just sick of all the sex.

It's funny -- they don't tell you that when you become a BOFQ you start skimming the sex scenes. *g*

Katie, are you around on YIM? I may need to bounce some ideas off you...

It's funny -- they don't tell you that when you become a BOFQ you start skimming the sex scenes.
So, if I confessed that StSS was my Secret Fandom Shame, I'd pretty much be admitting I'm a BOFQ before my time?

Only if you explain what StSS is.
On edit: Oh, duh. Skimming the Sex Scenes.
Well, if that's your secret shame, it's mine too, and that of a number of people I know. There are very few writers out there who can really make me pay attention to a sex scene. It has to say something about the characters or the plot, or be really well written.
