SGA Fic: Open like the Morning Glory

[dragojustine]

Apparently I am capable of writing everything except what I actually should be writing. You see, I was rewatching late Season 1 and early Season 2 for my Zelenka voice... and let me tell you, I had forgotten how utterly wonderful SGA was back then! I mean, fresh and exciting and shiny, before the regular contact with Earth managed to make a far

I like!

(one of these days, though, I really need to sit down and figure out which of these secondary characters is which. I'm terrible with tier-2s.)

I have no advice on the icon, but I wish you the best of luck, and hope you share your source when you find one. :)

If it helps, they're all OCs except Katie, Laura, and Miko. I think our other, recognizable female third-tiers weren't around yet back then... And I'm glad you like!

Oh, phew. I thought I was losing it. Miko and Laura I knew off the bat, and Katie I remembered with a bit of thinking, but the rest of them threw me.

I always think this is the best thing in fanfic, for me- the stories about tier-2s/3s and downward. I get to find out about the other characters- how they see the world, more bits of the world, new slants on the "main characters," that sort of thing. It's like an easter egg. Other fanficcy stuff- AUs, main character things- those are more wish-fulfillment sorts of things, exercises in "what-if."

I'm not sure that any of that makes sense, and I need to be up again in six hours, so I'm calling it a night. Goodnight!

I love it. Cadman's internal monologue is intriguing. IDK Katie/Laura just might be my first girlslash OTP - I read a great post-Quarantine fic and it seemed so *right*

I'm glad there's going to be more :-)

[dragojustine]

yaay! This is my first girlslash fic (though not my first pairing... I really wish there was some decent Sam/Janet out there) and I'm really glad you find it intriguing. The rest is plotted, but I have so many fic obligations this month!

Oooh, I like! Just the idea of girl!bonding on Atlantis is excellent; it's a side we seldom if ever get to see on the show or even in fic (though maybe I'm just missing a thriving side of the fandom by focusing so much on the McShep....). I like how Laura notices so much about Katie, and how Katie acts differently here than when she's with the men on base. Looking forward to when you can get back to this!

[dragojustine]

Oh, thank you! I like the girl bonding and I like the minor-character focus... I don't think either of us are missing a thriving side of fandom. But who knows?
