We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Apart from what shrift wrote, has there been any good Lost fic to speak of?

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

That was a fun story. It's the fanfic equivalent of comfort food, IMO. It's nice to have something like that to wallow in when the angst becomes a bit much.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

The only thing that really kept niggling at me the whole time was that they lived in that pseudo-marriage that long without either getting together or getting into some kind of relationship with other people. It wasn't long in story terms, but it was a few years, and it just seemed weird that they'd be in this not-quite-gay holding pattern that long.

Perkins, Yahtzee has a couple of good stories in her livejournal back around November 2004. There's an archive of fanfiction for the show here, but it's pretty hit or miss.

Thanks Matt, I have been to the site, which scares me a little. I will try Yahtzee's.

It was a little weird for me, because I bought everything except the sex. Which is weird, because I'm All About the Slash, but -- and I'm a bit embarrassed to say it -- I don't see the chemistry there. I think they're adorable, and they make a wonderful comedic team, but I suppose I just see them both as overgrown boys. And not the chemistry-having kind.

It didn't bother me, I just didn't quite buy it. But the rest of the story was quite sweet and funny anyway.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

And sort of tangentially related to the discussion at hand, julad has an essay about the kinds of subtext that slash writers make explicit in their stories.
