Been browsing through FF.net because, well, I have work up to my eyeballs and need a distraction. And I have to note at the springing up of Ronon/Keller fics
( Read more... )
I have to say, I really don't care where they take the Ronon/Keller relationship. They just don't work for me, and they probably never will, so I figure I'll just ignore it. I like Keller, don't get me wrong, but like you said, I'm not into the gender stereotypes that the pairing reeks of. Really, isn't it getting a little modern to still have the white knight and damsel in distress running around in our TV Shows? Twenty first century, people.
As for Ronon/Teyla...I've always automatically stuck them together, that's how much it just works. They have great chemistry, and who really can't see that half the time they're looking at each other and thinking "These earth people are crazy freaks, aren't they
( ... )
Plus I wouldn't want them to be lonely while John and Elizabeth have their happy fun closet time, but I digress. XD
lol! :D Totally. At that point, Ronon and Teyla have to go and stick!fight. *coughforeplay!cough*
Sheppard/Carter? Hmm... that's actually not too bad. Although if it turns out that Elizabeth is really dead, then I'd either keep going sparky or start slashing Shep with Rodney. Because, man, that one has really wormed its way into my heart. *wry*
I'm also a fan of Sheppard/Lorne, because, really, prettiness overload.
omg, I love that. Hee, prettiness overload, indeed. Personally I kinda like Ronon/Rodney, because, well, awww. Kinda cute. ^_^

I read this great fic a while ago that was Ronon/Rodney, but I can't remember where I saved it. Dammit. O.o
I'm pretty universal when it comes to ships. The only ship I really can't stand and would never read unless the writing/plot was totally awesome is McWeir. I don't know why, but it just makes me cringe. I'll put pretty much anyone with John (John/Zelenka sounds weird, but is really adorable, John/Beckett is just, well, yes, John/Heightmeyer is surprisingly sexy...I could go on and on...), and I don't really care who shacks up with anyone else. John/Teyla is really not as bad as people put it out to be when the writer shoves the bimbo-stereotype out of the way and gives you some development (if you don't believe me, check out greenconversesNot in the Stars AU, which is an awesome Sheyla fic that's not like all the others. Call me crazy all you want.).
Oh I love this topic. Let me start with what I call Voldemort ship - sheyla. Beside the whole EWWWW! factor that's just a cliche. A big, stinking cliche (that doesn't even work here or look natural or believable) - hero goes to new world or other planet and meets beautiful alien princess (which Teyla isn't - neither princess nor beautiful, IMO) and of course they fall in love. Only that isn't what comes across when you look at Shep with Teyla. Yes he could have had a little crush on her in like first four episodes of S1. And then? Nothing. She particularly never seemed interested in him one bit. Teyla is like John's big sister. She can put him into place and kick his ass and she tells him when he's wrong and should re think his actions. But sexual tension? Zero. Nada. Non existent
( ... )
OMG. Can I quote you on that? And post it everywhere and anywhere? Because the way you rationalize sparky is soooo true and perfect. And it reminds me why I fell in love with that ship in the first place.
Nope, Keller is nothing like Frasier. Daniel/Janet? I wouldn't know, because I never liked SG-1 enough to go crazy and start shipping anyone. Even Carter/O'Neill never really attracted me. The only reason I supported it at all was because it seemed like Carter would be happy with him and vice versa, and they *deserve* to be happy. Plus, it was canon. :D
Ford/Keller?!? That might... actually work. Huh. I like that. *nods* It would be cute. WRITE IT! We could start our own Ford/Keller community, complete with two fans. XD
My conclusion - TPTB are idiots. They know zero about writing plausible relationships (and even less about strong female characters!) and go for the easy and predictable things. Eeeeeewwwwwww!Truer words have never been spoken. (Well, except for what you said about sparky, but that's not the point.) You know what
( ... )
LOOOOOOL!!! You can quote me allright! I'd be proud to be quoted as a proof of Sparky! And there I was few days ago thinking about did I simply imagine it all. You know, TPTB and lot of other people (aboard on voldemort ship that is) said lots of times that sparky people are delusional. In this case I'll throw my profession out of the window and stay happily delusional
( ... )
Delusional?!?! I HIGHLY resent that! I'm happily insane, thankyouverymuch. And sheyla people shouldn't be talking. Their ship only exists because TPTB support it, and we've already established how good they are at writing relationships. Which is to say, not at all. :P
Oops, sorry! I forgot. *headdesk* I promise, no more spoiling. BTW, are you not watching S4 because you can't or won't? (If the latter, I have much respect for you. Even if TPTB had Sheppard marry Teyla, Ronon hook up with Keller, and Teyla go with - I don't know - Hermiod, I would still watch. Because it's just too hard to resist, damnit.)
Huh, I don't think I ever saw that scene. I haven't actually watched that many SG-1 episodes - most of the ninth and tenth season and a few episodes in the other ones I've seen, but I don't watch it religiously/obsessively like with SGA. (Because SGA is totally awesome. Yup.)
Yes! Ford/Keller FTW! I am totally converted, now. I even have a damn plot bunny biting me. It's quite annoying, and I vow to kill it with meridith_smith's pitchfork.
( ... )
Yes! I agree with pretty much everything you've said here. :D
Sheyla is evil. SHEYLA MUST DIE. *waves pitchfork* Seriously, I've never seen a pairing that irritates me more. XP
It feels almost incestuous to me.
OMG, yes. :D
And McShep! FTW. *glee* Though I've seen stories where they make Rodney out as the maiden. Gah, the OOC-ness. *shudders* Ohh, and you can't forget the Power of the Healing Cock! 'Tis legendary!
*looks at other lengthly comments* Yeah, okay, everyone else had these long, thoughtful comments, while here I am waving my pitchfork.

Mmm, I love that icon! Especially how Rodney keeps talking nonstop (which would annoy anyone else) but John just hearts him. *squee*
