GAH!!!!

Uh...

I caught the McShep bug. I'm stricken with it.

From the fluttering in my tummy and the huge smile that I've had on my face all day, I'm pretty sure it's the start of another beautiful obsession.

Soooooo, a quick poll just for me to establish how many other SGA nutters I have on my list. Oh, and after two years of LJ, this is my first poll

[Poll #751311]

And if you do write McShep specifically, could you leave me small comment? Just so I can go digging through your journal ~g~

Sigh. I so do not get the McShep, had this conversation last night with someone else on LJ. I don't like John that much so I find it very hard to get interested in fic focusing on him. (loathe weir though)
That said, I *do* enthusiastically second the rec up above for James' 'Alone in Your Mind' because its a Carson-centric story and I adore him. so it makes the inclusion of john into the mix okay.

Since I like Carson Beckett so, Rodney/Carson is a pair I can totally get behind. and wouldn't mind being in front of or in the same room as. ;-)

(big fan of Carson/Radek as well. Love Radek.)

James also has a great centaur-AU set in Atlantis. Its kind of hard to explain, but really really good. Actually, I recommend James/Gila period. I'm going to assume you read James' most excellent Spander series written with Wolfling, "Sands of Time".

If you want to try some Rodney/Carson, I recommend the most excellent writing of
Mice.
The 'Moments Sacred & Profane' series is long and wonderful. For a more accessible and quicker intro, try
Red Lion Rampant

Totally random swerve out of topic:
As much as I like reading McBeck, and I watch SGA fairly regularly, it makes me kind of sad because so many Stargate SG-1 Jack/Daniel writers have completely abandoned it for SGA. When I compare that quick decampment to how long-lasting 'The Sentinel' jim/blair love has lasted...sigh.

I love John!!! I think Rodney is my fav, though. He's so grrr but auwww at the same time, you know?

I think Carson is a very funny character. I can see him in a lot of comedy fics. I'll def read your recs and see what I think about him and Rodney. I'm not sure though. I feel as thought my love of McShep will be as anal as my love of Spander. But then again, I'll take Xander with just about anyone now, so maybe that will translate to Rodney too.

it makes me kind of sad because so many Stargate SG-1 Jack/Daniel writers have completely abandoned it for SGA.

you know, I think SGA takes quite a few writers from different fandoms. I remember being dismayed that people on my flist were driting over.
