some minor grumps

[janne_d]

1) I keep reading things recently in SGA where Ronon and Teyla are described as much younger than they look, or than the Earth lot think they are. I now would like to see a fic where they are both 45 or older but the Athosians and Satedans are just really clean-living folks with amazing genes...

2) It would also be nice not to read any more McShep slash where John goes into rhapsodies over Rodney's perfect, cuddly, comfy, cushiony stomach. Sometimes it's cute, but I seem to be seeing it everywhere lately.

3) I have been fic-gazumped. My own fault for not writing the damn idea up, but when I've had an idea in my head of how my slightly stuck-on-a-backburner, not going to get done for months girlJohn AU might end up in a threesome and then astolat writes a totally smoking hot, amazing girlJohn threesome (which you should go read here because, seriously, smoking)... well, I now feel slightly "meh, what's the point"-ish, because there is no way anything I come up with will be that good. And who needs another version when it already exists in perfection? Sigh. Back to the drawing board on that one for me.

1. *giggles* Yes! It could be like John's birthday or something and Teyla and Ronon could arrive and give him a present...

"Happy birthday, Colonel," Teyla said, bowing her head slightly. She handed him a floppy looking, thing wrapped neatly in white paper from the store cupboard. John took it gingerly; the last time Teyla gave him a gift he’d ended up in the infirmary with bite marks in his arm.

"So, how old are you?" Ronon asked, earning a reproving look from Teyla.

"Uh, forty," John said, instinctively lowering his voice and grimacing.

Ronon frowned, “Huh. How come you’re not celebrating? On my fortieth a bunch of us went to Vegt for the weekend.” He shared a smile with Telya and John was just going to ask what was so special about Vegt when his brain caught up with the rest of the sentence.

“Wait, your fortieth?”

“Yes,” Teyla answered for him, looking confused, “Vegt is a popular area for celebration amongst the planets in this part of the galaxy. I myself was unable to go until my forty-fifth year due to the timing of our harvest.”

John blinked. “Hang on,” he started, but Rodney, who’d been gazing at his palmtop, apparently oblivious, suddenly looked up.

“You mean I’m the youngest person on the team?” he asked. At their nods he leaned back in his chair, arms folded across his chest. “Cool.”

But John had suddenly thought of something. Something that could prove vital not only to Atlantis, but to Earth as well, “Teyla,” he said, leaning across the table and clasping her hand, “I need to ask you something. Something very, very important.”

“Of course, Colonel,”

John shared a look with Rodney and knew they were both thinking the same thing. “Where do you buy your moisturiser?”

2. But don't you think it's better than those ones where Rodney is oh so very self-conscious about his weight, and he tries so hard to be slim and sylph like, but he just can't and he knows John will never love him because he’s so *fat*.

3. GirlJohn! Do not let girlJohn die! Admittedly, Shalott's fic was scorching hot, but yours is awesome too. Just maybe (and I'm really not saying this) poor Rodney shouldn't get a look in?

1) Bwahahahahahahaha! Oh, yes - that was perfect!

2) Okay, fair point. Those are worse!

3) No, no, no. back to the drawing board I said, not kill off altogether. girlJohn isn't dead, he's just resting... And what do you mean, Rodney shouldn't get a look in? That is not the plan at all!

[torakowalski.livejournal.com]

Okay, as long as girlJohn is still alive. Have you noticed how good I've been not heckling you about his absence? (possibly because I don't want to get in the way of you sending me more regency chapters...)

And, Rodney should get a look in. I was just trying to make things easier for you *g*

PS If you're bored, would you have a read of the snippet I posted the other day? I'm looking for opinions on whether I should flesh it out (Yes, I'm being very clingy about this fic, but the idea of writing a full AU is scaring me!)

[janne-d.livejournal.com]

Ooops. I could have sworn I already commented on that snippet... *goes off to do so now.

And I am grateful for the lack of heckle - I can't write 2 things at once and the regency is winning the war for my attention. Mainly because that has a proper plot that I can resolve and I have no idea where the other one is heading, other than lots of porn will be involved (most of which I already have worked out in my head, it's the rest of it that is missing)
