Maps and Mirrors

You really should read the funny and all too short (and sadly Chapter 2 has not actually arrived yet) dS/SGA crossover "Searching for Benton Fraser" by apetslife.

"Get that gun out of my face or I will kick you in the head."

As introductions go, this isn't actually the strangest that John Sheppard's ever heard, but it's close. The alarms had gone off, unauthorized entry through the gate. Shutdown the gateroom, yada yada, guns at the ready, yada. And then what had come through...

Edit: Now with an actual working link!

After three years SGA has finally snagged me. Honestly, I'm mostly pleased about it, mainly because I've had a thing for Joe Flanigan since, oh, 1995, and it was killing me that he had a successful show and I just couldn't get into it*. I tried, I really did, I tried lots of times over the years, but I just couldn't make the connection. (And oh, if you only knew some of the shows I have connected with - yeesh. But my ability to emotionally bond with a phone commercial is a subject for another post.) I was never an SG-1 fan either. But I tried again recently with "Doppleganger" and it hasn't let go of me since.

Also, this show has some great fans. Some of you are on my Friends List. I really love how fan_eunice characterized the show recently: it is ensemble shiny fun where the misfits and losers are the heroes, and I'm continually surprised that they manage to avoid destroying the universe every day before breakfast. So even when I kind of wanted to yell at them for being sort of stupid in the most recent episode "Tabula Rasa", I felt more like patting them on the head. Especially to see if anything could make Joe's hair lie down.

Now, I need icons. *gulp*

*You know, when I first got on LJ a few months before SGA premiered, there were less than ten users or communities that listed "Joe Flanigan" as an interest, and he had one fansite that was just starting to get going. Hee hee.
