Phasing Out, by Quasar (Secret Superpower challenge)

Aug 11, 2006 03:02

I was working on a completely different (NC-17) superpower story which shares a few features in common with this one, but it bogged down somewhere around the sex scenes. Then this one came together with the greatest of ease. Maybe I should give up on writing sex ( Read more... )

I love that Rodney has a vaguely embarassing superpower, just as Rodney himself is vaguely embarassing.

This was fun!

Story of Rodney's life. It couldn't be a really useful superpower. Even for a jailbreak, he has to do all kinds of other stuff as well.

Very cool superpower. And I really like that it came about as a result of an experiment with the Tollan's phase technology. It's a very Rodney thing to have happened.

I had to snicker like a twelve year old, though, over Sheppard's awareness of Rodney's unhappy genitals. ;P

I keep thinking more could be done with Rodney's time at Area 51. I have one unfinishable story where he fell afoul of the quantum mirror before it was destroyed, and another bogged-down story where he triggered one of Machello's devices... I just couldn't make them come together until this one. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Ooh, I hope you get inspired to finish the quantum mirror story because I am filled with love for Cross Product. Filled. With. Love. And I'd love to see another story from you based on alternate universes. :)

That was actually sort of ridiculously sweet (and I mean that in the very best way). Rodney's sekrit super power and John's affection. Thanks for sharing!

You're welcome, and thanks for commenting. I'm glad you thought it was sweet.

*giggles* This was fun, and I love the super power you gave Rodney! I've been stumped for this challenge mainly cos I couldn't think of a power that was Rodney enough, but you got it exactly right *g*

Well, maybe that's what was wrong with my other attempt: wrong superpower. This one was pretty fun, and I'm glad you thought so, too.

heee! Great story.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
