I am a little drunk; it's volleyball Wednesday so totally not news but since I don't think I have

[lunabee34]

the presence of mind to work on my femme_fic entry (which is going to totally rock, in case y'all were wondering) and since I'm going to continue to work on the Brendan Gall/Rodney McKay magnum opus with ariadne83 despite the Miller High Life, I think it's time for a meme. Which I so went through and changed the grammar of to make all the questions parallel. *headdesk*

01. The first character I fell in love with: Elizabeth Weir
02. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Brendan Gaul; one of my favorite things to do as a fanfic writer is to use the POV of the peripheral characters and in the course of writing about them, I come to care about them a great deal
03. The character everyone else loves that I don’t: I like everybody on this show; I truly do--except Lucius, who I love to hate, but I think everyone agrees
04. The character I love that everyone else hates: Keller
05. A pairing that I love: Ronon/Rodney
06. A pairing that I despise: gosh, I don't despise any pairings here; I really like even the implausible ones like Caldwell/Rodney or Keller/Jeannie :) A good writer can make me believe in just about any pairing (except apparently River/Mal or River/Jayne), or at least be intrigued by the possibility
07. 5 things I enjoy about the fandom: the quality of writing, the gorgeous icons, the thoughtful meta, episode tags, alternate timeline and mirror!verse possibilities
08. And 5 that suck: McShep fatigue, closed canon, fannish disgust with the source material, female love interest character bashing, not having enough time to write as I'd like
09. My 3 favorite characters. Elizabeth, Rodney, John
10. My 3 least favorite characters. Again, for odd values of least: Ellis, Jinto, Steve the Wraith
11. My 3 favorite pairings. Sheppard/Caldwell, Teyla/Sora, Rodney/Ronon
12. My 3 least favorite pairings. Sheppard/Weir, Sheppard/Teyla that's not OT4, Sheppard/Carter (I just don't see the guy with women; I know it's tinhatty because he canonically has sex with women and was married to one, but Sheppard seems so repressed and awkward with women; I can make an exception for Larrin; they had a lot of chemistry)
13. Which character I'm most like. Maybe Cadman. I get the sense that she has a lot of fun, but she's good at her job and capable.
14. My deep, dark fandom secret. I wish that McShep could take a backseat sometimes. I know that I perpetuate this problem by writing the pairing myself, but I just wish some of the more rare pairings could get some attention sometimes.

Word.

McShep fatigue - I got that very, very early on in this fandom (probably partially because I don't like Sheppard).
