Excellent story! I really love your Rodney-voice. It sounds very much like him, the little annoyed sounds and the thinking out loud. Excellent.

A lot of people do genderswitch stories but we rarely get to see them from an outside perspective, and I really think that this was an excellent and well-used plot device.

Something that really did it for me, to cement Kolya`s characterization for me, was the fact that he doesn`t trust Lantean things enough to eat chocolate himself, but is curious enough to taste it on other people.

I would very much like to read more of this, if you do decide to keep going.

Well, thank you! And here I was afraid I was losing my Rodney voice - I had such a hard time writing his/her dialogue for this. And I've wanted to write a genderswitch story for a long time, and a McKay/Kolya story since I first saw 'The Storm'. I finally managed both!

Er...if you go back and reread the bit about chocolate, you'll see that Kolya got it from other people who were afraid to eat it. He didn't have a problem with eating it. I had the notion, while writing this, that Kolya sort of collects Earth stuff. He'd keep all the stuff in Rodney's tac vest for himself, and take it out to examine and ponder over...

Damn. Well, maybe I will write more, once my other fictual obligations (which I'm procrastinating horribly on) are finished.

Thanks again!

Aaaaaaaaand now that's exactly what I'd like to read. Ooh, it could be so good and creepy. SGA needs more creepy stuff. So few people write it. *pouts*

unionoiknjmk. AWESOME. Well, not Kolya trying to attack Rodney, but all the other parts.

ellex42 March 27 2007, 06:05:51 UTC

Whuh? Is it the kiss bit that you don't care for?

Well, I'm very glad you liked part of it! Thanks!

No, I just meant generally speaking, people forcing other people is not awesome and I did not wish to imply I thought it was, but otherwise I loved the story.

ellex42 March 27 2007, 16:17:41 UTC

Oh, I see! I agree, generally speaking, forcing people is very not awesome. But very much in character for Kolya, I think.

Thank you!

I knew from the moment I heard the name Meredith who it was and what was going on, but it was still great to see it unfold from Kolya's perspective. Kudos! :)

ellex42 March 27 2007, 06:06:45 UTC

Thank you! Once I saw the villains challenge, I knew I wanted to write something from Kolya's POV.

I kept waffling over that faint...sometimes it seemed overly melodramatic, and other times it seemed perfectly Rodney-ish.

Yeah, I love Kolya, but he's a bit of a classic moustache-twirling villain. Which is probably what I like about him!

I'm glad you liked it! And that's a damn cool icon you've got there.

saphanibaal March 27 2007, 06:05:57 UTC

This is both creepy and good, and I could probably think of better words of praise if I weren't asleep on my feet.

ellex42 March 27 2007, 06:11:30 UTC

Thank you! I'm planning to tackle your submission to this challenge tomorrow, when I'm hopefully more awake. Funny how getting up just 20 minutes earlier than usual just seems so exhausting.
