i can't even blame monday for this one

Why am I writing hideously depressing Rodney-leaves-John-for-babies-with-Keller fic? I'm seriously not that much of a masochist. I kind of hate Rodney right now.

Okay, the thing is? This is literally the kind of fic I would not only hate, but like, turn into some kind of silent, secret grudge against the author for years (my grudges are special; no one knows about them except me and I forget about them regularly. I am not what anyone sane would call a dangerous enemy here), and my relationship with myself shouldn't be strained, don't you think?

*twitchy*

Would alcohol help? Or you know, a razor? I'm open to suggestions.

P.S No, I am not writing John as an alcoholic cutter either. Though honestly, the way this thing is shaping up, I'm not sure it would be all that much worse.

I would go with the alcohol. That kind of fic should NEVER EVER happen. Maybe switch it around and have Rodney leave Keller for babies with John. Awesomeness for everyone. *nodsnods*

Now go drink until these bad thoughts go away.

I know! I'm depressing myself here. *shudders*

And with good reason. *begins holding a not-quite-secret grudge against you RIGHT NOW*

Hey, you have to get in line behind me.

[ariadne83]

...

I would read that fic and cry into my wine. And possibly make up future-scenarios in my head to make it all better.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

I need wine!

OH JOHN RODNEY NO!

*giggles hysterically*

Ahhh, there are about five million versions of Rodney and John frolicking about the internet, I'm sure there's room for at least one where Rodney spurns John for baby making with Keller - god knows there's enough versions of fanfic Katie out there growing a glasshouse of plants with her salty sad heartbroken tears. John can sit there in the dark, dressed in black, strumming his guitar, playing sad tunes with the tears that drip down his turkey flavoured solider cheeks.

Fanfic Rodney is enough of a manslut to go around. For that instance the same can be said for canon Rodney...

[seperis.livejournal.com]

Turkey? *confused*

Oh dear lord!

[wellifnotwisely.livejournal.com]

What happened to using your powers for good? Plus, it's nearly Christmas. I'm gonna go re-read Dealing with the Unexpected to overcome the trauma occasioned by your fic summary.

Re: Oh dear lord!

[seperis.livejournal.com]

I haven't written anything in three months and now this? It's like some kind of weird--I don't even know.

[hilarytamar.livejournal.com]

I have nothing useful to advise – except perhaps that this sounds like the beginning of a quite promising Harlequin fic (beginning, you hear me, beginning). Mainly, though, I wanted to see this most excellent sentence again: my relationship with myself shouldn't be strained, don't you think?

[seperis.livejournal.com]

It does have that Harlequinesque thing going on, doesn't it?

[sholio]

... see, I'd actually kind of like to read that, because I think a story in which Rodney tries to reconcile his (canonical) desire for some kind of white picket fence and 2.5 kid suburbia fantasy with a relationship that is unlikely to EVER lead to that would be very interesting to read, especially if it's not a setup for Rodney putting his suburbia fantasy aside and marrying John. But I don't OTP, so maybe that's just me. *g*

[kyuuketsukirui.livejournal.com]

Seconded. I'm really intrigued!

[cottontail.livejournal.com]

I'm writing one like that too, and it's been hell for me and John both.

I find hot chocolate works, and also pretending I don't know how the ending will turn out.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

*growling softly* This can't be healthy.

[aurora]

*TWITCH*

I would so, so not read that. *is traumatized enough already* :D

[seperis.livejournal.com]

I'd like to not be writing it.

[mischief5.livejournal.com]

You know, you could be finishing "Rules of Attraction" and making lots of people stand in line to worship you. Just a thought.

[lurkmuch.livejournal.com]

I would get in this line, yes I would.

[out-there.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm sort of pointing and laughing right now. But it's been the kind of day where I needed a good giggle, so thank you.

Hmmm. Also, even if it's the type of fic you'd hate on general principle, I say write it. Try to write it short, but write it to get it out of your headspace so you can move to a new idea that makes you all squeeful. (That's my rationale for every time I write break-up fic with a depressing ending. I do it with the understanding that once htis idea is in words and posted, I expect my subconsicous to come up with at least two happy endings and one purely pwp-no-other-point story ideas. It... sometimes works.)

[seperis.livejournal.com]

That may be the only solution.

[cat-77.livejournal.com]

Emo John beseeches you not to make him cut his wrists... again.

[mecurtin.livejournal.com]

*HARTZ*

[libitina]

Can John be a uncle figure who's a bit like a crazy vet, who'll pull the kids close and breathe whiskey breath at them while telling them about the time daddy was a real hero, ya know? Plus Rudney gets to walk in on him trying to cut himself only his hand shakes too much with the tremors. But it sure is a good thing that Keller is there to tell Rodney how to help him ("You can't enable him, Rodney. He has to enter a program where they can care for him.")

It'll be awesome. In that please remind me if you ever publish this no not click the link ever, thank you.

*snickers*

[eleveninches.livejournal.com]

I'm... very interested in reading this, actually.

[porntestpilot.livejournal.com]

Why am I not shocked?

[kathgrr.livejournal.com]

are you trying to get me to kill myself? cause the balcony is right there! and I live on the 21st floor!!!! the travesity that is Rodney and Keller!! And then to have them PROCREATE??? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND you crazy crazy crazy person!?!?

[kathgrr.livejournal.com]

umm... sorry... did I.. um.. over.. um.. react? .. um.. maybe.. just... a tiny bit?

They can adopt a Pegasus orphan?

(And then Keller gets diced up by some Pegasus-type disaster and John steps up goes from favorite Uncle John to Daddy John)

[miss-porcupine.livejournal.com]

I think you should cheer up and just embrace it as a momentary burst of inspired madness. Everyone knows that the universe would unravel if someone actually wrote one half of the fandom OTP breaking up the relationship to pursue his canon het relationship. So you're never going to finish it because it cannot be finished. Universe unraveling and all that -- it's like sneezing with your eyes open. Can't be done.

(I'd make a joke about just giving up and killing them all, but I'm in enough hot water over that this week.)

[seperis.livejournal.com]

If I had to break writer's block, honestly? Dean and Castiel were doing it for me. This? Not so much. *sighs*

[spike21.livejournal.com]

the only way to save such a fic is to have it become first a threesome and then ultimately a threesomeplusteampluswoolsey fic. In SGA above all I cannot bear the idea of anyone being left out.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

THey do all need to be loved and happy.

[winter-elf.livejournal.com]

*ACK!* While I'm afraid I'm voting for John to hit Rodney over the head and kidnap him offworld until he sees the light... uhm, ever thought of a three-some?

[seperis.livejournal.com]

I support this hitting over the head.

[moojja.livejournal.com]

Write that story, only replace alcohol with Ronon. That works out much better. Ronon and John both nursing a broken heart, only to realize true love is with each other. This a Harlequin novel begging to be written.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

...ooh. This has potential.

[tex.livejournal.com]

Why am I writing hideously depressing Rodney-leaves-John-for-babies-with-Keller fic?

Nooooooooooooooooooo!

Next time, I get out the CAPS LOCK!

[seperis.livejournal.com]

PLEASE. ANYTHING TO STOP THIS HORROR.

[porntestpilot.livejournal.com]

(my grudges are special; no one knows about them except me and I forget about them regularly. I am not what anyone sane would call a dangerous enemy here)

Ahahaha. I hate about five to seven people in fandom, one of whom I have hated for seven years now. I never forget them. Ever.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

I never said I was good at them.

[mischief5.livejournal.com]

On second thought, if you're going to do Rodney and het and white picket fences, I'm going to go re-read "Story of a Girl." That was the best thing since plastic tips on shoelaces. (And not just because it didn't involve Keller as a love interest.)

Now, if this new story was Rodney/Carter, I'd buy it. Sam already knows Rodney for who and what he is and won't try to change him to suit herself. Keller... needs a few more miles on her.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

*grins* I need to go re-read that one. I

[transtempts.livejournal.com]

Er, you were writing Castiel fic....what happened???

[seperis.livejournal.com]

...they met Cthulhu. It's a long story.

[harriet-spy.livejournal.com]

I would read this story and LAUGH and LAUGH.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

I'm not even surprised. *G*
