SUMMARY: Academy Award winning actor Rodney McKay is cast in a new movie bast on a short story he'd written, and is cast opposite action-movie hero John Sheppard. He's not happy about it.
NOTES: First of all, this work wouldn't be possible without two things:
1) The beautiful piece written by Mad_Lori called "Performance in a Leading Role". It's a wonderful Sherlock piece that captured my imagination from the first time I read it. I asked her if I could remix this using Stargate Atlantis characters, and she said yes. So the biggest of thanks and kudos to her. You don't need to read "Performance in a Leading Role" to understand this, but you should, because it's amazing.
2) This piece solidified in my head through the SGA Reverse Bang community when I claimed this piece of art. This is just a snippet; the entire piece is linked below. Here's the snippet:
This (fic) work was so massive, and I had so many notes to keep things organized, that I ended up writing not just a cast of characters, but also a brief outline of the movie John and Rodney are to shoot. Chapter 1 of this work is simply that cast of characters and the movie outline.
With something this large, it's impossible to catch every mistake. So if you find something (and no doubt you will), please don't hesitate to contact me and let me know so I can fix it.
Because this is about Hollywood, actors, and the movie industry, there are real people mixed in. They are not integral to the story, and this is not RPF. But you need people like Ellen, Gus van Sant, and Meryl Streep when you're telling a story based on Hollywood.
And finally, this work would be nothing if it weren't for the constant cheerleading and handholding of popkin16. You are amazing, lady, and I <3 you so much!
Posting this now because we are leaving the country on vacation soon!
