How to show you have little to no understanding of how fandom works in one easy lesson:

"All I've been reading about the last couple of days is Ben Browder so I suppose Jack and Daniel or original team stories will very soon be a dying genre. All the good fanfic writers will only be writing stories about the new kid on the block."

*tries not to laugh*

Yes, like everyone stopped writing team and Jack/Daniel when Michael Shanks left the show and suddenly there was a rash of Jonas fic from everyone as we all promptly forgot who that Daniel guy was and heartily embraced tptb's new kewl handsome hunk. Probably in some other mirror universe of our own, maybe, but not this one...

Of course, those of us who're not J/D OTP are less thrown by this possibility, I think, as the loveliness that is Daniel/Teal'c should also continue unabated... mmmm... :)

Speaking of AU's, did I ever send you my novella, or did you buy 'Off the Record' in the end (because it's in that one)?

I did indeed purchase "Off the Record" -- I love all of Annie's zines, and buy them as soon as they come out (thanks for pointing me her way, lo those many moons ago). I am sorry, as I thought I'd already told you how much I enjoyed your story (but knowing what a disorganized flake I am, I probably got distracted by something bright and shiny, despite my best intentions). I always enjoy your SG writing very much, but I thought this was a real departure; it was a very different idea, a nice twist on canon, and yet very true to our Jack and Daniel. (I also thought it stood out from the rest of the stories in the zine, frankly.) I thought you did a nice job of depicting a Jack and Daniel recognizably of that era, and yet still with the character traits of our guys; and I thought the emotional intensity between them was quite compelling. Very well done.

And I'm with you on avoiding live shows. Give me a dead show any day.

Thanks for the kind words, it's nice to know that the two years I spent working on that damn story weren't completely wasted (despite the minimal feedback I've had for it). *shrugs*

And yep, avoiding live shows. Absolutely. Not falling for that again. Not falling for Professionals either, much to

blktauna's disgust. ;)

Oh, come on, you know you want to...look at those lovely bums in those tight trousers! Although I do see the Pros lads as being a tad thuggish for your tastes, frankly. Now me, I have to admit to a certain weakness for the shoot-first-and-think-later mob, but then I'm shallow like that. :)

While not averse to a bit of mindless violence (as Donna gets to snark where my love for Donnie Yen, Jet Li and Chow Yun Fat is concerned), neither lad in that series fits my type. Guys who are my type tend to be snarky, brilliant and someone who don't wear their hearts on their sleeve (Illya, Daniel, Ezra, Snape, Artemus Gordon, Wes, the list goes on...).

Of course the fact I don't find either Bonehead or Foyle at all attractive (particularly the poodle perm *shudders*) doesn't help matters.

Hmmm -- yeah, "brilliant" is not exactly the first word that comes to mind when discussing Bodie or Doyle...

And I know what you mean about the poodle perm. Although Doyle has grown on me -- but I'm much more of a Bodie fan. (I do like them big and stupid, yes, why do you ask?)
