Stargate Atlantis.

So in the past week I more (or, well, less actually) caught up with Stargate: Atlantis. Mostly, I think, because I wanted to see what everybody was so excited about... and if I could get some over here please.

And, well? It's diverting, and I really appreciate having half a cast worth of bitchy scientists (although, where are the female bitchy scientists plz? We've fought long and hard for our right to be sarcastic dorks!) but I don't think there's much threat of the fandom swallowing me whole.

(I've got some random thoughts on the likelihood of this happening for any given fandom as a function of several variables, which I will not bore you with, because it's not your fault I subject myself to classes where they teach me to think like that.)

So, instead of me blithering on about how I have really no interest in the apparent OTP of the fandom, and in fact the only couple that sparks any yay in me at all is Weir/Zelenka, and even then only a little, I will skip to a few words on the One Episode Foretold By Fandom.

SGA 2x04. Now, I may be a little spoiled, coming in from a fandom where sexbots are canon, but I just finished watching a television episode exploring themes of body-um?-switching, genderfuckery, the proper way to set up threesomes that are really foursomes, girls on girls, boys on boys, and also technobabble! It was a very good return on my investment of 40 min, I feel. So, where is the fic inspired by this fine example of letting the slashers write an episode? That is what I want to know.

House fandom needs women sane people pleasantly insane people all of the above except women crackfic. Seriously. Plus our idea of subtext is the two guys of the main slash pairing making jokes about sharing steamrooms. Come to the dark sarcasm side.

Hey, I don't *only* write crackfic, you know. I also write, um... other things?

Sure you do.

Also, I should inform you there's a very good chance you're going to kill me soon. They're trying to talk me into making a comm, and the best name we can come up for it is unfortunately close to yours. >.>

Well, as long as it's not something like "notassuchsucks" you'll probably get off with a stern warning.

But what is it? *is curious*

And I *do*. I mean, um. *thinks* There was that one Neverwhere crossover and um. A dozen half finished things in my notebooks... Hmm.

They want me to start a slash comm dedicated to all the many things one can do that are not buttsex. And the most popular name idea was NotAssSuch.

I said you'd kill me. (I said you'd bludgeon me with a crackfic, actually.)

I'll tell you what. You can have a five second head start while I gather appropriate weaponry.
