lobelia321Now, I have read many lovely and yummy and sexy and angsty John Sheppard/Rodney McKay fics, some by my very favouritest authoresses in all fandommes. But: too much of a good thing!!
Just now I learned of a thing called SGA Big Bang (how had I not known of this before? perhaps I had but just forgotten. Is the onset of "second childhood"? Argh. And they have one for Harry/Draco, too! *digresses)
It seems to me that when I entered this fandom way back when in the days of series 2, there used to be a lot more variety in the pairings within SGA fics. In the Big Bang, it's John/Rodney, Rodney/John, McKay/Sheppard, Sheppard/McKay all the bloody way.
What is with that? Is it just that Big Bang has prompts and rules wot i know nothing about so that, of course, it's a McShepShip? Or has the fandom, by increments, veered from its former glorious ensemble-cast slashfest into mono-pairing, à la Sentinel or, um, Hetty Wainthropp?
My very first lovelust fic in this fandom was McKay/Zelenka. I just can't fathom the exclusivity of the McShep-bug.
P.S. Any good new wraith fic out there?? (Not crack!)
