I'm at a loss for words at the moment and I've read it twice. Fantastic chapter and I believe my favorite scene was Eliot in the rental with all the talking. Brilliant writing.

Had this entire late-season-Scully meets mid-series-Willow vibe goin' on. Who is this Joan and where can I find her? :D Amazing.

You have me twisting in the wind with these MysteryPeople. *squirms* Patience is Key!

Who is this Joan and where can I find her?

Here's a clue!

[jendavis]

Rubygirl has her own fandom now. It's official :D

[rubygirl29]

LOL! Will shamelessly beg for cameos in fics involving dangerous, handsome, scruffy men hanging around her reference desk. ;-)

They *must* have a librarian in Atlantis, right?

[jendavis]

I've decided that they do. I mean, LexisNexis (off the top of my head) is enough of a pain. Can you imagine searching in Ancient? *shudders at the thought of it*

We know they had a reading room that was damaged by a replicator probe. ((sob)) So, they must have a librarian. Ronon had to get those books from somewhere! I'll do readers advisory for him any old time of day ... or night.

I seriously want to see an Earthside fic now where John takes Ronon in to get a library card, and having to explain the 2 forms of ID that are needed. (I'm trying to remember if 2 is standard. I think it's what I had to bring in when I got mine, but I could be wrong. If so, insert the correct number. Yeah.)

And I'm already sensing other library chaos- the self-checkout/ electronic book drop things don't work and need shooting. John having to explain the dewey classification system. And if the library has those electronic moving shelves, there could even be a star wars-style trash compactor scene. And would Ronon think it strange to sit in on children's story time?

[rubygirl29]

Oh, boy, talk about crackfic!

And would Ronon think it strange to sit in on children's story time?

Not if they were reading "Where the Wild Things Are." ((g)) I can see him at story hour with John and Torren while Teyla and Kanaan have a "date" day.

I fear for the self-checkout machines which are prone to malfunctioning if customers don't allow time for the laser to scan the bar codes on the books. I've wanted to shoot them myself!

Glad you like! If you can hang on to that patience for a little while longer, all will be revealed.... :)
