Summary: I am going to tell you a story. About Dr. McKay and how he bought an eye from me, and how that one small act led to the strangest night in my entire life.
Written for the mcshep_match challenge on LiveJournal.
Creepy! But oh so good. I'm not sure who I was feeling more sorry for, Rodney, or John ... I think Rodney, because John didn't actually know what he lost at that point. Loved it!
Summary: The plots of "Continuum" and "Crystal Skull" moved in together, bought matching pairs of footie pyjamas, got married and had a baby...and this is it. Fusion with SG-1.
Lovely story! The idea is really great and I'm looking forward to seeing where you go from here. Your Rodney is great and John's disbelief in him being real was funny.
Author's Response: Thank-you! Hope you like the next chapter! :)
Summary: Not good enough gets a second chance.
This Vegas tag is based on another Vegas tag by kisahawklin with her kind permission. Reading her Variations on a Theme of John Sheppard is recommended or a few references may not make sense.
I just read kisahawklin's three stories and then yours and I loved your addition to her universe. This is such a wonderful end to what started in Variations and it left off on a positive note that made me smile. Thank you!
Author's Response: Thanks! It\'s good to hear that my add-on fit into kisahawklin\'s \'verse. I felt much better after I gave them a better chance at happy. :-D
Seriously, I adore this one (It's a kind of magic) so much. Beating it was great and I think you should write more crossovers *nods nods*.
Author's Response: LOL. Yes, sis, I know you think that. But it\'s not so easy. You know how I struggled with this one and I highly doubt it\'s any better with other crossovers. Maybe I will finish that Sentinel x-over one day though ... *hugs* But you\'re welcome to poke me and try to get me to write more crossovers if you like. *grin*
Summary: For some reason the contraceptive shots of all the expedition members stopped working. At the same time. And yes, in this universe men can get pregnant, too.
Okay, so you know I've followed all the reviews on this and I figured I might as well leave you one, too, just to ... dunno, balance it out maybe? Or maybe because sometimes it's good to put down and send out what I've already told you personally. Anyway, here goes!
You know I'm very pro-choice, heh, we've 'discussed' it before and I'm sure you remember all our other 'discussions' that are incredibly frustrating - but also lots and lots of fun :D.
That said, when I betaed this I never though of it as propaganda or you being against women, anti-choice or whatever else has been said in previous comments. Considering you were really rather stumped as to how you could possibly get this particular scenario into the shape of a story that isn't 50k words long and spans several months in minute detail. All in all the prompt was really quite restrictive in my opinion, but that in itself is the best way to get what you want from fic exchanges. Detailed prompts aren't all bad, aside from the people who get that one fic that they've been wanting to read for ages, and it's been written specifically for THEM. I think that's the most important part to remember about sga_santa: it's about the people who participate and their perfect fic.
I loved the story as it ended up and I remember I wasn't very kind when I betaed it. Probably was very frustrating because, knowing myself, I gave you quite a few comments. I was there throughout the writing process and I know how much you struggled in the begining, some place in the middle, and definitely in the end. But you didn't give up, you could have, but you didn't and I think it ended up quite perfect for the person whose prompt you were given. The opinions of the characters and their views fit in with the framework you were given and I'm pretty sure I couldn't have done it any better if our roles had been reversed. Which, yes, not possible :) I don't put mpreg on my list of writing for no reason, my version only works until they get pregnant and then I usually tend to jump a few months ... well, you know how it is.
Hmmm, yeah, I guess this is what I wanted to say. *hugs*
