Wow! Thanks to whoever nominated my fic 'No Respect' for the Skiffy Awards. I'm honored. Check out the website: http:// www. freewebs.com/skiffyawards/

Hi, I'm StarSkimmer, a teenager, musician, writer. I live in the U.S. I love to read, write, and play cello. And I only write fanfic on Stargate Atlantis, because in all sincerity, it is one of the greatest TV shows ever created. Although Stargate SG-1 is pretty great too. (I can't believe they decide to cancel it! I think I'll go die in a corner now...)

Favorite pairings: Sheppard/Weir, Ronon/Teyla. I can read mild McWeir at times, but don't write it. For that matter, I don't write any romance/ship - I don't know why, all my attempts come out horribly mushy and out-of-character. -sigh- Oh well. As for slash? Can read it, can't write it. And for some reason I find the McShep pairing to be remarkably sweet. It's all stargate-junkie's fault! She hooked me on it! -points accusing finger at sister-

Favorite quotes:

Lt. Col. Sheppard: Look, Teyla. I'm not really good at, uh ... Actually, I'm ... I'm terrible at expressing ... I don't know what you'd call it, uh ... Teyla: Feelings? Sheppard: Yeah, sure, okay. The point is, I don't really have good, uh ... Teyla: Social skills. Sheppard: Well, that is why I enjoyed flying choppers in the most remote part of my world before all this craziness happened, but, uh, you should know, I don't have, uh ... Teyla: Friends? Sheppard: (indignantly) No – I have friends. (pause) You, Elizabeth, Ronon, Carson, even Rodney, are the closest thing I have to a ... Teyla: A family? Sheppard: I'd do anything… for any one of you. If I had to give up my life the way Ronon was going to, I would. Teyla: (smiling) Thank you. For everything you… meant to say.

Sheppard: (into radio) It seems Ronon doesn't want to leave. Dr. McKay: (over radio) Well, too bad! You tell that ungrateful example of unevolved humanity that we came all this way to rescue him, so he'd better get off his a— Sheppard: (to Ronon) McKay says he's very hurt you won't come with us.

Oh, and one last thing. Please review! Even better, leave me some concrit. And check out the stories on my favs list. And the 'When Plot Bunnies Attack' forum. 'Tis cool, especially the sentence starters challenges, which really get my muses going. :)
