Hi my name's Cynic_Al aka Cynicalb

(because this site won't let me put an under score and cynical was already taken c'est la vie!)

I'm a die hard SG-1 fan. I've recently branched out into Merlin fic too.

Constructive criticism is more than welcome, isn't that why we're here anyway?

All my stories are un-beta'd largely because all my friends think I'm nuts to like stargate so much.: D

Thanks

Cynic_Al
