Stolen from my F-list

Ask me a question about one of my stories. It can be absolutely anything in any fic and I will tell you the honest-to-god answer. Don’t hold back. Ask about my plans for future parts of my current series if you want to, but keep in mind, I may not have anything firm/definite in the works. Anything. Whatever you ask, I will try my best to answer.

Both took command by the death of their commanding officer who died in a way they felt they should have been able to prevent

Ooh, that's very true.

John I can sort of ship with everybody and nobody. I can see John/Rodney, John/Elizabeth (well, I USED to could), John/Teyla, John/Ronon--but I suspect that he's not actually with any of them.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

See, with John being *MilitaryMan* I have difficulties picturing him with Elizabeth or Rodney- that whole US military of no fraternizing with your commanding officer and 'don't ask don't tell' crap. He wouldn't risk it. Teyla or Ronon wouldn't be under his command officially so it's actually possible to see something between him and either of them

I doubt John would be able to be in a relationship with any of them though because he's incapable of showing his vulnerability to someone under his command. In my mind Jack's more of an equal with him so John's more comfortable showing that he might need someone or feel weak or hurt or whatever

That makes a whole lot of sense.

I think about all the episodes where John's gotten hurt- even in "38 minutes" where he's having the life sucked out of him by the iratus bug thing and he's still making quips. There's this one moment where Rodney's whining about being screwed and for just a sec Sheppard breaks and says 'don't talk to me about being screwed' but then the shutters go back up and he's all 'macho leader man' again.

Like I said, I've put way too much thought into these boys! :)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

I love that part in the 'jumper. Rodney keeps sneaking little worried glances at him, and he isn't proud that he saved the day until he knows John's going to be OK. Then, I'm sure he was completely insufferable. *g*

Like I said, I've put way too much thought into these boys! :)

Heh--like I haven't completely overanalyzed the Doctor and the Master. Such is fandom.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I always thought that a testament to how much Sheppard really liked Rodney is the fact the man is still allowed on away missions with him. A lesser commander would have killed him or grounded Rodney by now

and *phew* we're all a little sane crazy here, right? Although- at least yours are the SAME fandom!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

So. True. He's got to like him because he hasn't strangled him. I love them both, though, and their bickering. Heh--I tend to see bickering as affection, and most of the pairings I like tend to bicker.

Yes, we are sane crazy! And crossovers are GOOD.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

there's definitely affection there. I just tend to see it as brotherly/best friend like instead of slash. But we all know I'm woefully deficient in my ability to use slash goggles.

Thank god y'all like crossovers so much. Otherwise I'd be very worried. I'll never finish it, but I'm working on one with 12 (or even more) fandoms. I am clearly insane

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

I can see it as buddies, too. Depends on which eye I squint. *g*

*stares* TWELVE? *eyes you suspiciously* *thinks about getting a net* (Wow.)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

and it's not crack. (Is the net for my sanity which has obviously run for the hills or is it to try to keep me off the ceiling and away from the liquor?)

Well, not really crack. More of a spot the character kind of thing. It's a bar filled with spies and former spies and there's vague clues to who is who.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Ooh, spies. I like spies.

Hee--the net's for whichever seems more appropriate. Mostly to keep you from hurting yourself.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

a net like that might be very very useful.

I've a list of various shows that have had spies and am trying to allude to a character from each of them, not to obviously though. It's hard to decide just how specific to be

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Ilya and Napoleon?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I haven't decided which of those two to slip in yet. But one of them will be there

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Good!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

feel free to suggest more- I don't want to miss any

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

I think I know more book spies than TV spies. Are you counting things that aren't spy shows, but that just happen to have a spy in them?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I haven't gotten too far into it, but I'm debating that. Like Colonel Flagg from NASH and Clayton Webb from JAG etc and obviously good old Jack Harkness- i know he's not exactly a spy, but he's close enough

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

I'm sure Jack's been a spy at SOME point.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I figure his Time Agency days count.

I'm terrible. I've even worked in a dog, Mister Smartypants. *facepalm* need a hint to figure out who he is?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Dief! Well, maybe not, but I love the idea of Dief as a spy.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

nope- think cartoon show from the 80's (he tended to save the day and protect his owner, Penny and her uncle, the show's namesake)

I considered trying to figure out someone from Due South though- I thought of the old spy couple Fraser winds up tangling with, but I thought that was too far fetched

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Bwah! Brain! And the uncle was Inspector Gadget. (I'd never have remembered that. It amazes me that typing "cartoon 1980s Penny dog" into google got me the Inspector Gadget wiki page as the first hit.)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

google is a scary but amazing thing. I expect most of these things to be missed. Which kind of makes me wonder why I'm bothering, but I guess that goes back to the 'crazy' conversation from a bit back

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

THere's something to be said for doing it because you can.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

good point.

(you do realize you're feeding the insanity, right?)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

That seems to be what Tiggers Medleys do best. *eg*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*snerk* I'm picturing you bouncing like tigger but on the elephant's trampoline now

I hope you're proud of your evil club status

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

LOL! That is still one of the best icons ever.

And of course I am! Aren't you? *innocent look*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I ♥ Karen for letting me snitch it.

That innocent look does wonders for you.

And I wouldn't have the evil clubs any other way!
