You want to feel less weird? Here are some weird squicks: 1. Anything that has Ronon having sex. I just ... no. No way and nu-uh and just no. He is too much the little brother type for me to even want to think about him having sex. 2. "I love you". There are very, very, very, very few fics in SGA where I can stand reading it. It simply seems unlikely for two people who do not enjoy to talk about their emotions to go and fling those three words around lightly. There are exceptions to that rule, but damn, does it have to be deftly handled. 3. The term "lover" used in fic. Seriously. If that's in a fic, you will have to do a damn lot to keep me, because my scream-and-flight instinct is at full throttle. 4. RPS. Full stop. Not even going there. For various reasons that will get me slammed by RPS fans and writers. 5. AUs. And, yes, I realise that people consider me a snob for it, or just plain weird, but I prefer canon-based stories that aren't AU and thus either skip AUs or hit the back-button with gusto. 6. Genderswitch. See me running for the freaking hills 7. m/m/m threesomes. I have logistics issues. 8. non-con or rape fics. (Not including the very few stories who handle ths subject tastefully) But, we have had this conversation before, I think.
Meanwhile, your points 1-7 aren't weird at all, actually. especially your number 5. Even though I'm curious what happened in 2005 that made you change your mind.
