I don't like fic where men cry. Manful tearing up, or holding back tears, even wet eyes that men would deny to their dying day or wobbly chins I can handle. Sobbing men, or men that cry at the drop of a hat... no so much. I like hurt/comfort with my slash, but neither Rodney nor John are 14 year old girls. Those that write them like that, please

God, yes. Also, if teh hubby, dad or grand-dad wouldn't cry in this situation... and I've seen each do it, but it took something huge, like the death of a wife/mom what have you, to do it. I consider Dave a cryer (and the woman in the relationship, but shh, don't tell him that), still... even then... some of the fics I've seen have put his tendencies to shame.
It's been lean again in these parts, hasn't it?
Not really, but I'm sure a lot of the fics I've been reading aren't all new. I've added a lot to my memories rec list this week, but it hasn't all been McShep. There was a rather lovely Miko/Laura just yesterday... and I'd found some offshoots and sequels to some faves that I didn't know existed. (genderfuckery is fast becoming a kink).
It's just with the good comes the bad, and making the men too emotional seems to take up the large percentage of fanfic sins. Even some good plotty fics that have Rodney so emotionally co-dependant and in love, my teeth started to hurt.
Also, John... he is not that cute. I mean, omg yes. He's fine, fine-ass man-meat, but I hate the rose colored glasses people see all the characters through. Neither is Rodney beautiful and perfect, and I like the jiggly bits, and the fact that John is a little soft even though he's perfectly trim. It was the same when people wrote Angel like he was some perfectly cut Chipendales model and I sat there thinking, does no one else see the soft biteable little pooch but me? Did no one else see the season three and four love handles? I saw some love handles.
You know, *checks calendar* PMS is explaining a lot right now.

On the other hand, I'm not admitting to having a favorites folder labelled "Badfic that I won't admit to reading". *g*

There are things I never thought I'd ever like until I started reading in this fandom. If anyone ever said that I'd like an AU where they dropped the characters into completely different environments/lives/whatever, I would have thought they were crazy. But then I go read John and Rodney have kid!fic and I like it.
(speaking of fic...just how is the priest!John to the rescue story coming? *iz shameless*)

Agreed. Sometimes I wonder if they're seeing the same near to actually forty year old guys that I'm watching.
Now granted, Flanigan does look a few years younger than his actual age but I tend to think that's part of that whole goofy face making gig he's workin'.

Hee! Boreanaz was totally workin' the lurve handles.

Hey. You don't have to explain anything to me. Whenever I start getting reeeeaaally testy about things (like, oh I dunno...where people post their inexplicably evil character fic, for example), this is typically the reason why. *g*
