Slashfic: More Than Mann's Theatre

[moonshayde]

Yup, it's slash. Cover your eyes.

Since I talked about it before, I'm posting it here in case anyone feels daring. It's Jack/Daniel and has the team. Pretty mild if you ask me. This was my entry into the Jack/Daniel LJ Ficathon, and was written for gategrrl.

More Than Mann's Theatre

Enjoy!

As for the alienation routine, well...sadly, I think we're all doing that these days. I think good writers are being drowned by all the crap out there. I wish I could find them so I could read them :(
Anais has something new and promising, but it's still WiP. But it involves J/D/Paul Davis, and her inspiration is the French farce, so read it for the fun and not for the characters. Another well kept secret is that the delightful Byrne writes J/D. You can find her stuff here http://www.prettymuses.com/ . She is also a professional writer, like Anais as well.
To be honest, I am finding myself wondering outside the Stargate fandom more and more myself. One of the things that attracted me from the beginning was the wealth of good writers in the fandom, now you have to search for the needles in the stack of hay. And I found that my criteria of what make a good writer do not match those of the fandom. As you said, bad characterisation is one of the main culprit(there is a well respected writer who has Jack and Daniel calling each other Hun and Luv. Now last time I checked, Jack was a general in the Air force and Daniel a multiple PhD linguist, not two shopkeepers in a fish & chips shop in the North of England. I love fish and chips, but unless you write an AU on the dangerous world of deep friers and the search for the perfect batter, all you need is a good Beta), bad sex is another one, and the way the team has been wriiten by th PTB in recent seasons hasn't helped. Sam's character gets most of the beating, but even the staunchiest J/D fan have to clutch at straws at the moment.
Sorry i did wake up bitchy this morning. :)

Ouch!

Many people are walking away from the fadom, though. It makes me sad. I still try and write what I can. I can still love the show since I am very good at both following canon and being in denial. This next season will be tough with the loss of Jack, but I won't stop writing him. I like this show, and what it used to be, and I am not in despair just yet. The part that just makes me sad is that many people have left, the badfic has risen, and there are so many fights and bickering that I can't have a standard geeky show conversation anymore without someone pouncing.

I am sure someone on the net was trying to compile a list of good J/D fics. (I read both J/D and team fics, or I read as in past tense I should say.) If there are still scouts out there, then I still have hope. I stopped writing Star Wars fanfic and my hope was gone I'd ever go back.

I've been eyeing that lately too.

So there is hope everywhere :)
