Brain-sucking comms, SJ, and Sam/Zelenka

[holdouttrout]

mayogate mentioned that she had attempted to write a bit for jack_built but everyone was coming out a bit too English-y, so she was going to get back to it later.

Which, hello--totally not against people writing for that damn comm at ALL, in whatever kind of tone they think appropriate, but now I desperately want British-flavoured, geeky apartment dwellers building experimental labs and blowing fuses and generally acting like dorks.

Only I couldn't write it, because my knowledge of actual!Britain is not enough to fill one teacup, while my knowledge of AmericanTV!Britain is plentiful. Sad.

Also, I am feeling kind of bad about the plethora of Sam/Jack in the comm, for which I am more than partially responsible. Please to be not letting us rabid SJ-fen scare the other lovely peeps away now.

And, as a final note, I have to let abyssinia4077 know that while I can't quite imagine Sam/Zelenka as a pairing, I do have my own personal fanon (that doesn't exist yet) in which Sam and Zelenka spend their weekends hunched over a mostly-deserted lab table, far, far away from McKay, trying to solve problems that McKay has either given up on or reprioritized out of his life.

*Nods* I think that'll do for today.

I can be patient. now yet? how about now?

And good that you are okay with the icky S/J. ;-) We'll have to get you some Sam/Daniel--soon!

I really truly don't mind it in fic. It's weird that I can love the fic but have trouble wrapping my brain around the ship - but hey, means I get to read and enjoy it :) and it is CUTE in the AU comm.

My problem with the Sam/Daniel writing is Sha're is there and...I know there's all different threads and no One Right Canon for the AU but that's a concept I have trouble wrapping my brain around.

Just think of it as a completely different universe--one in which Sha're doesn't exists, or didn't come to the States, or where she's happily engaged to another man.

;-)

But yeah, it does seem, at least so far, that nothing contradicts too badly.
