Amen, sister, amen. My theory is that the pairing came to be when everyone fell for Rodney, and then chose the show's Cute Guy to pair him with. When fans talk about Sheppard, it's almost always about his looks. IMO, Rodney doesn't seem like the kind of guy who'd fall for someone who isn't very similar to himself. He likes when people agree with him, see things on his level, and have things and opinions in common with him. Period. Which isn't to say a relationship with someone who is more against his type couldn't happen, but I can't fathom that it would last long.
For the record, David Nykl (Radek) did an interview where he said Zelenka would be the best marriage for Rodney on the show (I so love David Nykl), but that Rodney loves his work far too much to have a serious relationship with anyone at this point.
So, I'd totally read McKay/Zelenka. If I was getting fannish about the show. Which I'm not.
I can rec a few stories if you're interested. In a completely non-fannish kind of way, of course.
My sweetie, he's turned into a total Sheppard/Ford kinda guy.
Awww. They were my first pairing in the fandom. :)
Just please don't tell me someone's written it.
I could say it hasn't been written, or that there isn't a community dedicated to the pairing, but that would be lying. *g*
