Oh hell--I can just *see* that version of McKay! Makes me wonder what the Sheppard analog is in that 'verse!

[mad_maudlin]

That may be coming up...I find Sheppard much more difficult to write than McKay, for some reason. (Even when he's not in the damn story!)

Go Elizabeth! Very cool alternative and, yes, I also wonder where Shappard is during all of this.....

Nicely done!

Thanks! If I ever pin down where Sheppard is, I'll let you know.

Nice take on McKay (TOT: that "friendly fire" incident still grates).

[mad_maudlin]

Yeah, I heard a lot of the details (since the pilot is from my hometown) and I was disgusted by it. Thanks for reading!

[mad_maudlin]

Maybe! If I have the free time. :-)

Oooh, very interesting AU there. I like the way that you provided a logical background for why Rodney would be in the military, while still keeping all the characteristics that make him Rodney. I'd love to read more of this!

Thanks!
