Oh, I can't blame that little queen at all. I could listen to John tell stories forever, too! I love the "choose your own" aspect of it (I only read C because of my OTP issues but I am sure the rest were lovely) as I adored those books when I was a kid. Excellent! :)

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. I completely understand reading only one of the options. That's really why they're there--it's a fairy tale; it should make everyone happy! (Well, except the poor John/Ronon fans. I really wanted another option with him, but I was running out of fairy tales...)

Then, one day, his fairy general swept in and arranged for him to meet the woman who was leading the expedition. I think that might be the best description of General O'Neill I've ever heard. :D

Poor O'Neill! I think I may have insulted his honour there!

But it's true, he's totally the fairy godmother to Sheppard's Cinderella.

He is, isn't he? Totally rescued poor Sheppard from slaving away in Antarctica and brought him to the ball.

Very well-done -- hints of the original fairy tale but still solidly SGA.

And Lizzie! XD
