A ficlet response to that episode, and the sheer lunacy of it.

[tardiscalling84]

This ficlet is dedicated to my dear friend Renisanz, because she is awesome, and without whom I would not be brave enough to post fic. I would have waited for her to beta this, but I felt that a pick me up was warranted for everyone. Because really, what the hell was that?

you made me feel better

Re: thank goodness for fanfiction

I'm glad to hear that. It made me feel better to write it, too.

Lol, that was cute!
I refuse to even watch the episode. Bleh.
Nightmare indeed.

[tardiscalling84]

The only good thing about the episode was Bill Nye.

Glad you liked it!

[renisanz]

LOL. Awesome. I haven't seen the ep, am rather scared to, actually. This fic made me smile though, and I appreciate the dedication. :)

Why would I pick someone rude, demeaning, and with an ego the size of Texas, over someone who has a heart the size of Texas?"d
-Loved this last line. :)

Now. . .back to writing. ;)

[tardiscalling84]

Yes, be afraid, be very afraid. It was like watching a train wreck: you don't want to watch, but you can't look away.

I love that line too. I think it's my favorite.

And of course I dedicated my ficlet to you. Your encouragement makes me brave, otherwise I don't think I'd post fic, ever. Perhaps now that I've gotten over the hurdle of posting my first little ficlet for all to see (and gotten a positive response), I can stop being a ninny and finish writing then post the freaking epics spinning in my brain.

Good luck with the novel writing! I know it's going to be wonderous.

Hehe. Loved it.

[tardiscalling84]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

I so wish this was true. I just can't get over the awful images seared into my brain. This fic helps me cope. Thank you for writing it. :)

[tardiscalling84]

You're so very welcome. I'm glad it helps you cope, it's helped me cope too. I went straight from my poor, tainted television to my computer, and this ficlet came out.

Truth is, I've had Ronon/Jen fic swirling in my brain for months and months, as the long-suffering Renisanz can attest. But the horror of that episode spurred me to finally post. I plan on getting braver soon, goodness knows we're going to need more fic to sustain our little shipper hearts through the darkness that has descended on the canon. Methinks my shippey goodness will come with a healthy dose of Rodney bashing.
