...But What of a Gentleman? [sga]

A long, long time ago, kristen999 asked for "five times John Sheppard misunderstood the rule 'proper conduct befitting an officer'." This is sort of that. Or at least the closest I could get to work

Great fic I enjoyed it!!

Thanks! I'm having fun slowly easing back into the groove of writing.

I enjoyed this very much! I love how you worked from childhood to the beginning of the series. I really liked the explanation to go with the coin toss, it adds a depth to his decision that makes me smile. I think my favorite one was the armor. This is how I see the character to a tee. :)

Thank you! If you've glanced even cursorily through my LJ, you've probably noticed that John is my favorite by a long shot--certainly the one with the most thoroughly-developed backstory. The idea of armor comes up a couple times, thanks to his childhood admiration of Sir Gawain and his mother's choice of bedtime stories.

Summer is a busier work time for me, so I haven't been able to poke around your journal too much yet--but it's definitely on my list of things to do this weekend. So you'll probably be hearing more from me as soon as I can find the time for reading. I'm trying to make writing a priority for now, as I'm not really back into the habit yet after being away from it for so long. It feels SO good to be back at it again, even it's not as much time as I'd like to spend on it. :)

Oh, I definitely understand about busyness! (I work at a school, so summertime is "there's no students around! We can do all our behind-the-scenes projects now!" time.)

I, too, am getting back into the writing game, and it does seem like a pretty major requirement is to cut back on your reading. From personal experience, at any rate.
