Story announcement

[mandragora]

It's been a long time since I actually finished something. Most of my efforts in recent years have fizzled out, when I've been too overwhelmed by RL circumstances to finish them. Or, I've just lost interest (temporarily, although I think that Smallville story is gone for good -- I can barely bring myself to watch the show any more) in finishing them at present.

So, imagine how glad I am to have finished something. Even if it is crack!fic! of the veriest cracked nature...

Announcing my first Stargate Atlantis story, written for the sga_flashfic Harlequin Challenge.

Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Genre: Slash
Rating: Explicit

Story summary: Atlantis needs Prince Rodney back.

*grin* Glad that it made you giggle. I think the only way to treat a ludicrous premise is to play it straight. So to speak.

I must admit the thought of John as a betrayed virgin was too much fun not to play with, but you're absolutely right. The whole thing is ludicrous.

Yup, exactly. Playing it straight leads to the funniest results.

Yes, all that angst increases the pay-off, I think. I pretty much wrote the whole thing so I could have John yell at Rodney to "Get out," and chuck him out of his quarters like a despoiled virgin. But for it to work John had to really *mean* it, you know and have reason to mean it.
