Because maybe I can make my vacation somewhat productive...

snagged from luciademedici:

Go to one of my fics and pick a sentence or two (lucia's edit: substantial quotation that has context *g*) out from it. I'll try to guess which fic it's from. Anyone who can stump me gets to request a drabble in one of my existing universes, or post a pic (or prompt) and I'll write a drabble about it.

I totally suck at request drabbles 'cause I never even finished the last batch y'all gave me, so let's hope I don't get stumped :) Have at it!

Oh, see. I'm the one of the people that pushed into popslash. Gosh. Holy crap. We've known each other like two years, I think. Whoah. Time flew there. "The Infamous Cheesy Orgy"? That was for me.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

we shall not talk about the cheese orgy. hee.

[veracity]

But it was so fun!

[forcryinoutloud.livejournal.com]

::snerk:: I am blessedly popslash-free. *snickers* SGA is my only addiction. ;)

[veracity]

No, everyone should a few. If nothing more than to mock. A lot of its so, so bad. But in a good "I'm so glad I write better than this" or "Oh, wow. I've improved drastically. Thank god." type way.

[forcryinoutloud.livejournal.com]

Mwahahah!! *snort* :P

[veracity]

Male Sues are even worse in the popslash world. It's great. Some are awesome, a lot not so much.

[forcryinoutloud.livejournal.com]

LOL! I'll take your word for it. ;) *grins*

[veracity]

Oh, the Sues were just as bad as...*thinks* Harry Potter het sues.

[forcryinoutloud.livejournal.com]

*snickers* Again, taking your word cause wow do I not read Harry Potter fic. Heh! My fandoms are a small few and almost all are sci-fi. ;)

[veracity]

Ah, okay. Take Schmoopy bad!fic McShep and multiply it by three or four. There you go.

[forcryinoutloud.livejournal.com]

Ouch!! ::scrubs brain:: One more reason to stick to a few fandoms. ;) Hee!

[veracity]

Yes, scrubbing brain is a *good* thing. Believe me. Probably why I have a "Oh, god another schmoopy fic!" reaction.

[forcryinoutloud.livejournal.com]

*cackles*

Part of the reason I hit the back button as fast as I can. ;)

[veracity]

Well, that and the fact I don't foresee a nearly forty year old man acting like a 15 year old girl when talking about his feelings, which does happen in more than one story occassion involve tears and lines worthy of "I'll never let you go".

[forcryinoutloud.livejournal.com]

OMG!! ::cringes:: Absolutely!

Let's see, there's...

-crying
-fainting
-mushy declarations of love
-sex that heals all
-and of course, 15 yr old girl syndrome
-a gazillion other cringe worthy atrocities

Tis a terrible, terrible afflication that far too many fics suffer from. ::nods:: We shall all rejoice as soon as someone finds a cure! ;) *snerk*

[veracity]

Just don't ask Carson for help.

[forcryinoutloud.livejournal.com]

*snort*

Poor Carson. He's getting such a bum rap cause a couple writers are idiots. *sigh* :P I love Carson, just wish they'd write him better. ;)

[veracity]

*grins* True, but I was also thinking of fic!Carson. He's either extremely smooth (*shudders*), the village idiot (well, okay...canonical proof there, gotta admit), or duller than dirt and about as useless. Then there is weepy Carson in love.

Did I mention I really prefer men at some point that are...you know grown.

[forcryinoutloud.livejournal.com]

Bwhahaha!! That's very true. There aren't many fic where Carson is portrayed all that well. But I totally blame canon. ;) I mean I love Carson, but they've made him weepy like a girl, morally suspect, rather boring...so as much as I'd like to blame the fic writers I think it's definitely the actual show writers that have ruined him. ;)

[veracity]

True enough, but isn't fic supposedly you know....be *creative* at some point and fix what people don't like? I mean, you have a little canon intregrity. I mean canon's sixty minutes, counting commerical breaks. I mean...oh, hell, I just give up. I just wish people would put "If you have a brain, please avoid. Thank you" somewhere.

[forcryinoutloud.livejournal.com]

*snickers* It IS supposed to be that, but it doesn't always work out that way. ;) I think people are distracted by all the hotness of John and Rodney naked and having sex with each to pay as close attention to Carson. ::nods:: ;)

[veracity]

I think people are distracted

But, but..if all else fails, Gateworld. Or rewind the episodes if they're there. Or find a fan. Oh crap. I'm using Earth Logic again. Gotta stop doing that.

And I say this as a "Come on, people. Show some romance, as long as it's not Lucien...Lucius...Whatever the hell that nasty bug's name was" romance fan. Ah, and no Sheppard/Weir or Sheppard/Teyla, because, really. The fans would rival Buffy fandoms (no one can top Harry/Hermione or Harry/Ginny fans ever).

[forcryinoutloud.livejournal.com]

*snort* :P But the pretty nakedness! @_@

*snickers* Shep/Weir and Shep/Teyla are about as...interesting as Rodney/Weir Rodney/Teyla ;)

[veracity]

Well, Shep/Weir is a weird doomed to fail because of Power Issues and Shep/Teyla wouldn't work because she'd get tired of his lack of communications combined with immaturity.

At least McKay is you know...the same as Shep. Works for me. Birds of a feather.
