Loved this. Nice solid fic, even though it's short.

[joyfulfeather]

Thank you! Most of my fic tends to be just one scene, for whatever reason. Guess it's my "who needs plot when you can just have characters sitting around talking?" tendency. *grin*

Oh, I like this a lot. It's all 'author's message', but it does it well.

[joyfulfeather]

Thank you! I hope it didn't come off sounding preachy. I actually didn't have an agenda in writing this. It's just where my mind went, with the differences between the cultures being most of what I was interested in. Glad you liked it. :)

I like, but now it makes me wish Teyla actually had some female friends.

[joyfulfeather]

Kinda sad that I had to use an OC for that purpose, isn't it? There's always Elizabeth, but she probably wouldn't be a good sparring partner... Glad you like it! :)

I've always had an issue with Tayla's skirts and unbound hair. I still have an issue with the hair, for practical reasons if nothing else, but you've given new insight to the skirt.

It makes a lot of sense that she comes from a whole 'nother culture, and therefore would have different views on feminism etc.

Thank you for that :D

[joyfulfeather]

Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah, the long, unbound hair does seem like it'd be a problem. Glad I could make the skirt work better for you, though! :)

Here on havocthecat's recommendation from stargateficrec, and I really liked this. Very nice view of Teyla adjusting, and how she asks others to adjust to her.
