I haven't read any of them because I didn't like the sound of the summaries. Doesn't seem to be going in the direction I'm interested in *not canon, lalalala* and *yuck to any Shep shippiness, including Teyla, Elizabeth, Nancy or gack Larrin or any other OC character I've seen people come up with implied or otherwise. And some of the reviews have said it's like some of these writer's have never even seen the show and can't get the all characters in character. I'll stick with selective fanfic.
I totally agree. I am so very content with my 'whumpy' fan fic. My Kindle has 589 'whump' fics on it. Mostly SGA and some H50. Call me a reader with narrow vision...I don't care. I'm totally happy with my stories.

It's hump day (get your minds outta the gutter ya cheeky monkeys!!) so how about some Sheppy shots? Woohoo!! }:O

What really gets me is that some of the writers say that what they are writing is just as canon as the show because they were hired by MGM. And the blurbs being put out that this is virtual Season Six makes me ill.Last edited by CheekyBeckett; 13 June 2012, 07:25 PM.sigpic

Originally posted by CheekyBeckett View PostYes, it was a review I posted on the second book although I also commented about the absurdity of the first one too. Apparently they took offense at my comments about the unrealistic and laughable Sheppard/Teyla shipping. ICK! They took issue with my wording of the "established relationship" in canon of Teyla and Kanaan. Their argument, and this is my favorite part, is that Kanaan was a made up character. *waits a beat* Yes, I'm serious. These are the kind of people you're dealing with. Just, wow, you know?
I've also read the books. They.....leave much to be desired. *coughI'vereadbetterfanficcough*Tumblr: fashion4ducks.tumblr.com

Before anyone gets offended, no, I don't personally like "Sheyla" but if that floats your boat, then enjoy. My issues are the statements that anything written in those books should be considered canon (sorry no) and how BADLY the "Ship" is presented and written in said books.
Not to say that I think show canon never goofed either. I still think "McKeller" is one of their worst ideas.sigpic

Wait a sec, you consider those books canon? I consider them cute little footnotes that could be ignored. (especially after that one Ronon centered one that I couldn't finish reading)Tumblr: fashion4ducks.tumblr.com

And I agree. I find it absurd and ridiculous that they would dismiss Kanaan that easily. Yes, he may have only appeared in, what, three episodes? But he's canon.
Anyhow. A Shep present:
*giggles insanely*

Thanks for the present, ShipperWriter.
As for the books, I've read them but was disappointed by the poor storyline and I remember a few major plot holes and mistakes. I wrote to the author about them and the answer was: we know but in the end it was so hectic and we had no time to correct it. So much for doing a good editing ...
Since I don't like Sheyla at all, I blanked out the parts. I looked where they stopped doing the we-are-together-things and continued reading afterwards.
I liked the Shep whump, the Rodney whump and that the Wraith got a big part. The Wraith names? *shrugs* Read them, forgot them ...

The second was not great but there were a few redeeming features. McKay on the Hive ship was predictable but at least slightly interesting. And I actually was interested on the planet side scenes with Shep, Teyla,Beckett and Dahlia Radhim going after the Ancient ship.
Anyway, I've made my point and I'm sick of talking about it. Just riled me up having some moron getting in my face about a review I wrote over a year ago.sigpic
