A brief aside...

[graculus]

Blair Sandburg is not, by any stretch of the imagination, 'exotic'.

Likewise Daniel Jackson is not 'willowy' or 'frail' or anything similar. At no point in the show's run (or even in the movie) could he be accurately described that way.

Ditto for Ezra Standish.

And let's not get started on the whole subject of competent, self-sufficient individuals bursting into tears at the slightest opportunity (be it running out of coffee, stubbing their toe, their favourite pot plant dying...).

Doesn't reading something like that just make you want to go "Have you actually *seen* the show?"?

PS. I don't know what an Ezra Standish is, but I'll take your word that you're correct on this subject.

It's a cowboy. He's neither exotic nor waif-like. Can't tell if he's pretty, though, but I'm sure Scribe will know

He gets to be the neurotic insecure one, mentally berating himself for being unloveable and/or running away because his one true love [insert name here] could never love someone as rascally and unworthy as he is...

Ooh, Blair does that running away thing a lot in slash, and gets treated like a child. Do you think these two were seperated at birth? Any cross-over slash fic where they get to have sympathy sex with one another because they'll never be good enough for their respective twu wuvs?

Not as much as there probably ought to be, because he's not one of the OTP of Doom of that fandom.

[innocent-lex.livejournal.com]

Which fandom is it? Pretty Cowboys Of Lurve, perhaps?

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Close enough. Magnificent 7.

Isn't that a really old film?

And a short-lived (22 episodes) tv series of the late 1990's.

Oh, he's pretty and his eyes are definitely exotic, but no, no, no, not waif-like a'tall. I provide evidence. :points to icon:

More like a gentleman gambler/con man/sometimes lawkeeper than a cowboy, though I suppose he might have used that cover in a con at some point...

Why, yes, I am an Ezra-phile, as a matter of fact. Bet you couldn't tell. :g:
