      Sure, it's my pleasure, send it to me by link or PM, I'll proof it for you. Mine will probably be ready by friday if there are no eventualities in the way.... Like my usual posts I think it's rather long. Is that a problem to you?
      Awesome sig made by *E*K*R*. Thanks!!!!!

        I see Ronon/Teyla, but i'm not obsessive about the pair like i'm with Sparky, i don't think my body harbors enough energy to actively ship and squee for more than one pairing at the time, lol. I can barely keep up with the Sparky.

        I'm in love with Numb3rs at the moment... and I think it integrates the Epp family dynamic, romance with the investigation aspect splendidly. Better than most shows IMO. A very intelligent show all round. Even the romancing is intelligent.
        Subtle and slow is the key for me with Sparky, although i've been surprised by hearing people saying that Sparky is too in your face, lol. And here i was thinking that it was beautifuly understated .
        I don't want romance to take the front stage, if it remains to be just an added feature, a bonus, and not the center of the show around which many plot devices are construed i'll be happy.

          Not a problem at all, you can PM me with yours or just send me an email with it. PM'ed you mine. Sort of just copied and pasted it into the message, hope it turns out ok. Never PM'ed anyone before.

          Edit: Ok, so that didn't work so well. Um, I'm putting it up on megaupload for now. I'm PM'ing you the link.

                      I think it depends on whether one approves or not... Of course, if you one doesn't care for either Weir or Sheppard, it IS inevitably going to be in your face. Ship like everything else... says more about the fan than about the actual pairing.

                      I don't want romance to take the front stage, if it remains to be just an added feature, a bonus, and not the center of the show around which many plot devices are construed i'll be happy.
                      That's the best kind... methinks.

                        Ok, here's my newest fic I've written. The plot bunny for the continuation of my other one is sort of hibernating, so I'll get back to it when it wakes up .

                        But for now I give you the following:

                        Hope you enjoy it. And thanks to Atlantean_Fan for the proofreading, it always helps to have a fresh pair of eyes .

                          Hi Everybody! Go away one day, and one has to catch up fast. Belated happy birthday to Atlantean Fan, and good work to everybody for 25000 posts....YAY!
                          I was browsing at Borders when I saw Starburst Magazine with interviews from Torri , done when they were filming the last four episodes of Season 2. I just want to share to everybody excerpts from said interview, because I feel that it just supports everybody's views/discussions from the past five days. If this is not allowed, can somebody PM me so I can delete it (don't want no trouble), and I decided to put spoiler tags for those who hasn't seen the eps. Here goes:
                          Spoiler:

                          "The last four episodes we've shot have been extremely interesting for my character. She's made decisions in the scripts that have sent me running to Brad Wright's office and saying to him, 'I can't do this. This is not the character I thought it was.' There are very dark decisions being made not only by Dr. Weir but Dr. Beckett as well. Paul and I both felt that our characters were the most compassionate on the series, and now they're the ones who are pushing the ball along with some very dark ideas and extremely dangerous and difficult decisions. I ended up having a terrific conversation with Brad, during which I asked him, 'Where do I go with this? The audience is going to wonder what happened to my character, especially if we don't see a bridge of how she got from there to here.'
                          Dr Weir has also learnt a great deal. I remember last season an issue came up and she was so appalled by it that she used the Geneva convention as a defence.This year, however, Dr.Weir has discovered that there are indeed different rules, and we can't play by the same code of ethics that we do on Earth. On Atlantis, our heroes are dealing with alien races that are very antagonistic towards them. So Weir had to shift her game plan and tell herself, 'OK, this isn't something I'd have done three years ago,but back then I didn't have these creatures wanting to suck the life out of me and everyone under my command.' ...to that end, I've been doing a lot of this (Higginson starts to wring hands) in the past few stories. It's very Lady McBeth-like and trying to wash the blood off Dr.Weir's hands, if you will. Little things like that at least show audiences that she's concerned about whether or not she's making the right choices."

                          And her comments on Michael
                          Spoiler:

                          "This is one of the four stories I was speaking about earlier, where a decision was made in the story that I as an actor was uncomfortable with and wanted Weir to feel the same way. Again, it is a question of how did she get to this place in order to make these choices. I probably cheated a bit in terms of taking story beats in the conference room scenes and allowing the other characters to all sort of say, 'No this is what we should do next.' To be honest, I may have justified Weir's position by sitting back and not allowing her to be pushed into making a decision on her own. It was the group that came up with all these pros and cons of what to do, and my character finally said, 'OK, we'll do it.'


                          Whew! Long post, sorry guys. BUT, it goes to show, that Atlantis is united when making decisions and there's no way, ever, that one is coerced or forced to agree in the decision making process.

                          Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice
                          From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire.
                          But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate
                          To say that for destruction ice is also great and would suffice.

                            It's like 4:37am here, but got woken up to a painful spasm in my calf (not pleasant at all) so I thought I'd pop on since I seem to be wide awake now.

                            Very interesting interview LadyShip. Thanks for posting it. I find it very interesting that Torri
                            Spoiler:
                            found Weir's decisions to be OOC. But in comparison to season one they indeed are. I'm glad she questioned it and was concerned as to how the audience would look at it, in order to help bridge the gap and make those decisions understandable. I also liked how she compared Weir to Lady MacBeth. It helps to show the guilt that Weir's having to deal with over all of the decisions she's made that have ended up putting the city at risk


                            Again,
                            Spoiler:

                            I like the fact that Torri thinks
                            Spoiler:
                            that Weir wasn't pushed into making a decision on her own. Shows how close a unit the team has become. Each making their thoughts known, and coming up with a decision that most of them agree with.


                            Ok, so hopefully that made sense. It's now 4:49am. Guess I'd best try to get back to sleep. Got class this morning. Night all. *hopes for wonderful sparky dreams *
