it's a ship. it goes through the gate.

I am taking a break from being almost disgustingly productive in order to conduct a VERY IMPORTANT POLL. And if you've been paying any attention to me for the last ever, you'll know that by very important poll, I mean I love asking arbitrary questions!

Today's are born of my continuing reaction of being completely weirded out by the fact that finding Sheppard/McKay fanfic is easy: you just find someone who wrote Fraser/Kowalski way back when and click forward a little. I have convinced myself that there must be some deep mystical connection here, partly because I want fandom to be less shallow than "pretty boys! yay!" and partly because I'm fighting a losing battle against plotting a massive crossover instead of writing my Yuletide. In the spirit of that, by which I mean deep mystical connections, I want to see if there is a favorite character pattern! (For example: Fraser & Sheppard are kind of One True Characters for me. Maybe this means I have a thing for The Heroes? Maybe you like Fraser and McKay best! Snippy Canadians for the win? I don't know what I'm trying to prove here but, by god, I am going to skientifically prove it.) So!

For the purpose of this exercise, you do have to choose. Also, I'm not going to lie, I'm just kind of curious to take a headcount on how many people actually know wtf I'm talking about.

For me it was the other way around - I noticed just about everyone who wrote McKay/Sheppard had also written dS, and that's why I started watching dS in the first place.

As for the poll, Rodney and Ray (though really, if I had to choose only one Ray, it'd be Vecchio) <3

Somewhat related: Hi, I'm Q, I'm adding you. :D I've been reading your journal for a couple of weeks now and I figure I should probably say hi (perhaps the switch to DW will be the end of my lurkerdom?), because Due South! Doctor Who! SGA! I approve of all of these things.

Hilariously enough, I watched SGA first but mostly because I had a friend who was fangirly about it; then I got really into due South, and thought, "You know, there's a lot of crossover between dS people and SGA people, so maybe I should give SGA another go."

Choosing Vecchio is always a good response! Just not for the skientific purposes of the poll. :D

And hi! I'm glad you approve of these things and I am happy you're no longer lurking. :)
