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

[skoosiepants]

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!

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

*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.

[forcryinoutloud.livejournal.com]

Not to mention the fact that he's sleeping with Rodney. ::whistles::

::nods:: Hee! Exactly. ;) Peanut butter and chocolate! *grins*

[veracity]

Well, you can never get me admit it was nearly over before I figured out what "peanut butter and chocolate" referenced. Nope, never gonna admit that.

[forcryinoutloud.livejournal.com]

::snickers:: Mwahahah!! John is such a dork. ::whistles:: But that just makes Rodney love him more. ::nods:: ;)

[veracity]

John, a dork? Never. You're pulling my leg. And Rodney certainly wouldn't be attracted to someone if they were. *looks around* Nope.

[forcryinoutloud.livejournal.com]

*giggles* You're right. ::nods:: John is most definitely the coolest. *snort* :P

[veracity]

I'm never wrong. And...I don't know, I'm thinking Radek's the coolest. Really, he always wins.

[forcryinoutloud.livejournal.com]

Bwahahah! Radek? *raises eyebrow*

Hmmmm ::eyes John and Rodney::

I'm gonna have to go with the boys ;)

::pets John and Rodney::

Though I still love Radek too. ::nods::

[veracity]

But he's just so squishy, and I can give him to Weir! And he's just so cuddly and cute with the squishy Czech when annoyed. John and Rodney don't go other language when upset, and I'm not counting Rodney's geek speak.

[forcryinoutloud.livejournal.com]

*snickers*

There's the difference. *grins* I'd like to toss Weir off the highest tower in Atlantis ::whistles::

I adore Radek, and he's very cute when frustrated ;) but his crush on Weir makes him less interesting. ;)

[veracity]

See, I like Weir, pretty much. At least since she's started to get little harsher with Earth. And the crush is cute to me because the only base reverts back to high school when they have them.

[forcryinoutloud.livejournal.com]

*snerk* I think I'd like her a lot more if they hadn't started this whole John/Weir confidants thing. It just doesn't work for me. I can see her being like that with like Kate or maybe even Teyla but there's so much friction as to who is honestly in charge--at least I think (though the writers are trying to make it seem like John is all submissive to Weir's decisions :P ) that I can't see them being like that. I see them very much in a professional capacity and that's about it. If they had Weir interacting with other people...like Radek and Teyla and Kate--even Ronon or Lorne--I think I might like her more.

[veracity]

I think I'd like her more if she had her own group of friends, too. Like her own little teeny pack. Maybe Radek, Carson, and Lorne. Cadman occasionally for the girl element, but I don't know how much they'd get along. Kate would be good, I think. The Weir/Sheppard moments are a bit weird at times, if they're misplaced, but in some ways I can see them sharing. They're both the leaders, more than anyone else. She's the one that does the giving orders (general and specific) and he's the one that has to do the military giving orders. I think the more honest moments were John and Elizabeth having control friction. They would butt heads.
