In which wrongness abounds...

[przed]

Okay, first of all, I'm not going fannish about SGA. Really. I've got no time to keep up with the fandoms I'm active in. I don't need to add a new fandom to the mix. Let alone an uberfandom. So me and the sweetie have been watching and loving first season on Space, but that's all.

But...

I've been thinking about SGA slash pairings.

Mostly because I'm just not seeing the McShep. I know, that's what a lot of you are into, but apart from a few brief flashes, it's just not there in the show for me. And I need it in the show before I'll even touch it. As it were.

Now, McKay/Zelenka? I can totally see in the show. (And thanks to sithdragn for the lovely icon so I could even think of making this post.) I can't resist a geek, let alone an astrophysics geek. Put two of them together and I am in lurv. Plus, they're just so cute together. So, I'd totally read McKay/Zelenka. If I was getting fannish about the show. Which I'm not.

My sweetie, he's turned into a total Sheppard/Ford kinda guy. (Shhh. He doesn't know that bad things happen to Ford and I'm not about to tell 'im.) He's taken to cheering when Rainbow Sun Francks shows up in the credits and he's rewound an episode at least once to make me watch Sheppard and Ford doing cute things in the background. (I wasn't paying attention to them; I was watching McKay.) I might read the occasional Sheppard/Ford story out of loyalty to the sweetie. If I were getting fannish about the show. Which I'm not.

But (oh no, another but) the sweetie just came up with a completely crack-addled pairing that is intriguing. And messed up. See, I was explaining the genre of partner rape stories and the fact that I'd just run into one that was kinda hot. (Kitty Fisher's Pros story, The Chameleon's Dish, if you're interested.) His initial reaction was shock and dismay.

Sweetie: Why would you read that? That's sick! That's wrong! That's like slashing ::he flails around trying to think of a suitably messed up pairing::... Sheppard and Steve!

We both stop and look at each other. I clutch my head.

Me: That is so very, very wrong.
Sweetie: But it could work.
Me: It could totally work.

Yes, I would read Sheppard slashed with a Wraith.

Just please don't tell me someone's written it.

*ggg* Sheppard and Steve? That was most certainly written considering the main story archive is named wraithbait.com... but I´m not going to look it up. Nope.
Unsurprisingly I´m a very convinced McKay/Sheppard fan, though both my best rl friends can´t see it. shampoo_leska is into Beckett/McKay or Beckett/Sheppard and shirasade ships (that was really a surprise considering she´s such a slasher) Ronon/Teyla and Elisabeth/Sheppard.
Anyway, if you continue your not reading SGA McShep ways, check out seperis´s stories. I haven´t got a lot of free time, but her stories I do read!

I'm remaining firm in my resolve not to read McShep, because that way lies madness. And way to many damn stories.

I may check out wraithbait.com, though. Because I'm just that kind of a gal.
