Fan Fiction: Writers, Readers, and Enablers
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
It was sheer self-indulgence from end to end
Yeah, there was a sense of inevitibility from the very beginning, but getting there was a fun ride.
Well, it's shalott. You're pretty secure in the knowledge that John and Rodney aren't going to die in a horrible accident.
God help me if she ever decides to write that story.
Well, they could die in a horrible accident and then get better...
ETA: Wait, have any of the Atlantis folks died yet? Not counting alternate versions? Sheppard, in 38 Minutes, I guess.
Weir, of old age!
Man, they are way behind on deaths and resurrections.
What's sad is that before reading any of the fanfic, I absolutely didn't see any subtext on the show (while rolling my eyes that the then Xena-esque Teyla and Sheppard were so obviously headed for coupledom). Now not only is Teyla cool, but I can't watch Sheppard and McKay hopping with excitement after the former flings the latter over a railing without thinking "yeah, they're doing it."
Man, they are way behind on deaths and resurrections.
Give them time. By this point in SG-1...
Okay, yeah, by this point Daniel had already died twice. No, three times -- isn't The Nox season 1? In which case Daniel had died three times and everyone else once.
I'm with Katie: the story was great fun, but oh so... self-indulgent. That's as good a descriptor as any. A steady diet of that would give me ulcers, but once in a while, and as well-written as it is, I don't mind. And I'm not even a Shep/McKay shipper, it's just that much of the best writing in SGA appears to be that pairing.
Oh, man, that story really was good. Mind you, I should have been reading some of the 75 pages of boring textbook material that has to be read by Wednesday. Still, it was lovely. Loved the Google results.
It was a really well done example of a type of story I don't much like. But I liked it. Hah.
