pretty pretty stargate
I'd like to personally thank the entire SGA fandom for all that sleep I'm no longer getting. Like at all. My coworkers would extend their appreciation, since they deal with my mood in the morning when I show up to work and promise to wreck dire vengeance to the first person to make so much as a gesture in my general direction, but explaining to them the reason would be one of those moments I never, ever want to live through. Thanks a *lot*.
I have discovered there are Certain Benefits for reading the fanfic before getting to the source text. One, I can be completely and utterly influenced to just adore a pairing I have yet to see onscreen. I'm sure that makes me beyond words shallow, but I don't even *care*. Oh man. I love wandering through a new fandom. Yes.
Actually, it's kind of fun. All the joy of exposure without any knowledge of canon influencing my thinking. Reminds me of the good old days of X-Men Movieverse, where I'd written several stories before the movie was sent to me by my beta when she realized that things could go south fast if I tried any complex plotlines. Which in retrospect is really damn funny, but more importantly, I got away with it.
This is happy. Also, knowing I'll have the eps as fast as the mail can travel? Good happy.
But. Thought. If someone had *told me* there was the equivalent of intergalactic vampires? I would have *so been there*.
Also, Sheppard is *pretty*. Wow.
Adn whoo! BSG season two in less than a month! Does life *get* any better than this? No, it does not.

From:Rodney= biggest sissy boy EVAH!
I need to do that variation on the classic "fuck or die!" theme: "Fuck dressed like a french maid with pierced nipples and an obvious spanking fetish or.... die!"
And Rodney says, "Right, yes, no problem, I have a the frilly apron back in my quarters, and- What?! What!? It's a keepsake from my college days! Don't tell me you don't have something like that at the bottom of your dufflebag!"

From:mwahahahahahaha!
I mean, seriously, is there anyone anywhere that can imagine Rodney topping?
He needs French heels and a master with a paddle.
....
Unfortunately those aren't standard issue.
(And come to think of it, I wonder if Carter Dommed him back on Earth? He's probably missing her very much...)
*is evil*

From:*headdesk* Actually, you're right. I remember the whole vampiric Justin/Brian fic you wrote. I can't believe I didn't think to meantion the life-sucking aliens earlier.
And in more joyful news, welcome! I'm personally waiting for the mail (less than a week, woo!) for a fan to send me all of S1 SGA. Then I'm going to indulge in geeks and Sheppard prettiness (and rodney's arms. Because I keep getting distracted with them.) and snarky dialogue and happily ignore the shocking exposition and predicable plot.
Y'know, I'm more than a little bit thrilled that you're being dragged into a fandom I'll be reading. *bounces*
One, I can be completely and utterly influenced to just adore a pairing I have yet to see onscreen.
*raises eyebrow* Which pairing? I ask because McKay/Sheppard seems to be the default (and, yeah, I get that. There is a lot snark between them, and that makes me very happy) and yet, I *adore* Radek Zelenka and find myself going for the Zelenka/McKay thing just for the hot geek-on-geek action.

From:Have you discovered the CandyCrack that is Pegasus B? Talk about sleepless nights!
And yes, John Sheppard is so very pretty, but that's because Rodney wants him to be. ;)

It absolutely does not! :) I'm not even that sad about the demise of QaF...

From:Hey, that's how I got into Smallville.
Are you spoiled for season two SGA? Because it apparently gets better than space vampires.

From:Shep is the pretty. The new season will bring on another the pretty. And Rodney, you just want to squeeze him with love or kill him out of exasperation. I adore Rodney.
*whistling away*
I did not spoil. :-)

From:That's where I am. I've seen exactly one episode (Hot Zone) and that was after I'd steadily read my way through tons of fic.
Behold the power of the internet!
