Which would still have ended up in the uncategorised section. Sadly, there are different authors with different ideas of labeling which means that just stating which character the story is about is not any real help in knowing is it gen, het or slash. There've been more than enough stories in which past or present relationships get explored in a character centric fic and if we don't have the time to read the story we will put it in a category where its clear to our readers that we don't know if there are any pairings in there.
The only other story of yours I could find in uncategorised was Side Effects may vary (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_noticeboard/722257.html) in which the labeling wasn't really clear for us. We could have put it under slash various and make an additional statement about various other het or slash pairings or no other pairings at all, but we were honestly not too sure which way to go with it.
And after all, we have decided to put up this category on the one hand because it makes our job easier but also very much because we respect an authors wish to *not* give away pairings or genre beforehand. And of course, if you wish to move any story into another category we are always happy to do that should you notice anything wrong.
And, while I just checked these two stories (because I really wanted to know why we had moved them there) and still know and understand why we made our original choice in both cases, it would also not suprise me if we accidentally move stories in the wrong categories.
Which also, happens to McKay/Sheppard stories just as much as it does to any others. It has nothing to di with our own possible interest in the story because most days when we edit the newsletter none of us actually have the time to read even one story.
I think the main reason for why we really try very hard to get it across that we are not biased is because we *know* we are not. There's been more than one really wonderful story we've al read and cared about and yet still managed to forget to link or moved in the wrong category.
