First of all, an LJ friend has just gotten into SGA (she marathonned all the episodes in a matter of a month or two), and she might be interested in some crackfanfic if we can offer her the right stuff. She's not a big McKay/Sheppard fan, which eliminates 90% of my recs. Of course I passed along "Freedom's Just Another Word", and a few others. Here's her wishlist: "One-shot dark gen...I don't care which season setting. I don't mind slightly AU, but no, "Sheppard is a small town country music singer, McKay owns a bakery, and Weir is a failed real estate agent" kind of stuff. Sheppard is, sadly (because: how predictable?), probably my favorite character, but I could read stuff about most of the characters. I'm not really a Carter fan though.

I actually wouldn't mind a good PWP with Sheppard or Ronon, as long as it's not romantic or McKay/Sheppard. Which probably makes that a difficult request."

Any offerings?


And another question: I just came up with an SGA AU idea, and I need to know if I'm reinventing the wheel.

SGA: the Band. Teyla as lead vocals, Rodney as the wizard keyboardist and effects guy, John as lead guitarist, and Ronon, of course, on the drums. Elizabeth as the beleaguered manager.

Has this been done before, or might I have struck a new vein?

The band thing has been done...once that I know of? But not like that at all! I'd say GO FOR IT PLS YES. *nods enthusiastically*

Annnd, I would totally offer you recs but her wishlist kind of eliminates my entire delicious account. *cough* I'd say maybe peer through siriaeve's bookmarks here (http://del.icio.us/anassa), since she's a lovely source of all things stargate. :>

Who could that be, making that fic request?

The Band thing is cute, making me think about my conversations with [livejournal.com profile] freneticfloetry about where SGA characters fit in the Five Man Band.

She posted about it, although much of the conversation was on IM and therefore missing here (and as much, or more, about Farscape):

http://freneticfloetry.livejournal.com/25121.html (Slight spoilers for Tracker in the beginning -- but if you're in the fandom there's no way you don't know them.)

I hadn't watched SGA yet at the time. (Well, maybe just "Doppelganger" and "Runner" which were my first two episodes.) So when I finally did watch, I'm not sure I agreed with her assessment. I don't totally agree with tvtropes either.

I think
Hero -- John (obvious)
Lancer -- Weir (even though she's not part of the away team, and not around anymore)
Big Guy -- Ronon/Teyla
Smart Guy -- McKay (obvious)
Chick -- Teyla/Carson

You could put Teyla in the lancer role, but I kind of thought the lancer role was supposed to be someone that actually disagreed with the hero quite a bit, and Teyla rarely does.

Of course, none of that relates to your fic, but you did get me thinking about it again.

I miss Weir.
