In theory this space is for me to tell you about myself. I'm using it partly to reduce my insanity a smidgen by getting some of my thoughts just out there. My current fandoms are (in order of "priority"):

Stargate: SG-1 - Sam and Jack for sure. Not Sam only, nor Jack only, but the pair, and their whole dynamic, equally. I love even just reading S/J friendship as long as there's no /Other pairing involved. (See "Come Fly With Me" in my Favorites for a perfect example of that.)

Superman/Smallville - Clark & Lois. They're legendary, not much more to say other than that.

Star Wars - Mara & Luke. Timothy Zahn has my eternal thanks for introducing us to Mara Jade. As a related aside, I have an extremely low opinion of the New Jedi Order and Legacy of the Force series. So if/when I get around to writing in this fandom, I can safely say that stuff is all toast as far as I'm concerned.

Finally, I love fanfiction. The authors write for enjoyment rather than money and it makes a world of a difference. Frequently, the amateur authors give us stories that are more creative, of greater depth, and truer to the characters than most of what the so-called professionals grace us with.

General Rant(s) (Warning: May include strong opinion):

1) Three very commonly misspelled words. It's spelled c-o-u-r-t M-A-R-T-I-A-L, not m-a-r-s-h-a-l. A 'marshal' is a law enforcement officer. It should be r-e-v-e-l-l-e-d not r-e-v-i-l-e-d. I'm mentioning this one because the context and the exact way it's misspelled is a continual source of amusement ("He reviled in her taste"). One more, it's "p-i-q-u-e-d your curiosity", not p-e-a-k-e-d or p-e-e-k-e-d.

2) A line I am getting really sick of seeing, and it shows up with little to no variation: "I love you, I always have/will." Don't get me wrong, I love skinning cats, but there's more than one way to do it. Another oft repeated phrase: "It's about time!" (Across all three fandoms I read!!) All I can say is it's about damn time to come up with a new line!

3) How To Thoroughly and Completely Kill Sam & Jack Romance in Two Easy Steps:

a) Sam marries Pete(Other).

b) After the marriage "Fate" (coughauthorcough) then kills Pete(Other).

Voila! Dead romance! Why? Via her actions Jack becomes Sam's second choice (even if consciously or subconciously that isn't true), and because Pete/Other is dead...she no longer has any way to actually prove otherwise. For the record, this goes for Jack too; it's just that 98 percent of stories (that I've read) with this one-of-them-gets-married slant have Sam doing the marrying.

If you're on the lookout for excellent SG-1 fanfic I encourage you to take a look at my "Favorites". It's sort of my Top 10 List (only it's at thirteen SG-1 stories at the moment), which means to get on it, a story usually has to knock another off. They are a few stories I've liked enough to read more than once, and I also believe represent some of the very best the SG-1 fanfic community has to offer. All of them are Sam/Jack to one extent or another, but all made it in my list for various reasons beyond that. They are all well worth your time to read.

And a special mention goes to the author MotatoPotato. Twenty-one vignettes on her part so far. Every one of them very good if you enjoy established S/J.
