It's really unpopular?? How weird!! I could have sworn there's significant canon basis for it (Ronon seems totally SMITTEN by Teyla, for one thing) and I'm rather ashamed of the fandom for not hopping on such a hot pairing. Boo.
It's not really unpopular - it could just be that I haven't found the central place for all the fics yet. At least, that's what I'm hoping. It is so obvious in canon so I thought it would be all over the place! They would be so SCORCHING hot together and I just can't understand why barely anyone is behind that! It's all McShep this, McShep that. Where's all the het, people?! :D
It gets BETTER? Hee! So exciting! (And DAMN girl, you watch fast, for all you complain about not having much time! o.O)
Technically, I don't have that much spare time. But I've been really REALLY neglectful in doing a lot of things I was supposed to (like reading my flist and chatting! :P) so that I could devour five or six eps a night. And a dozen on my free days off. Yes I do realise that I'm completely hopeless!
Did you ever warm up to Rodney or McShep? *hopes*
Okay, I'll chop out a bit of my last post to answer.
"This is not meant to harsh anyone's squee in any way, shape or form, but I just can't ship the McShep. It saddens me because I know that there is SO MUCH good fic out there if only I could get into it. *sigh* I think what is holding me back is the fact that I can't love Rodney as a character. I like him well enough because he has had a LOT of redeeming moments, but that 'asshole' factor that he has just gets on my nerves. The "I'm smarter than anyone else EVER" attitude, while amusing for a while, has made me almost hate him at times."
If Rodney was a less self absorbed and arrogant, I could probably love him and read all the fic I could find. But then he wouldn't be the character that so many other people love. I'm happy shipping Ronon/Teyla in my own little corner.
Ooooh. Speaking of Ronon: The vertical expression of a horizontal desire.
I love that saying and I only use it for the hottest of fellas. And DAMN, he is one of them! *goes to happy place*
