I just googled green covers, but there are plenty of those around? Any in particular?

So we've heard... I genuinly wonder what happened they put a stop to it.

So Do I! I Honestly Have NO Clue..Maybe They Realized That Sparky is The Most Popular Pairing. The Way I See it,Something Must Have Happened To Change Their Minds

So,This Means That John and Elizabeth are Finally! Going To Get Together,Just Like We've Always Hoped For xD

I doubt that's the case. Sorry to burst your bubble.

A) You might think Sparky is the most popular, but McShep is equally as popular. And don't underestimate the popularity of Sheyla either. I think they are in fact the three largest pairings of the fandom.

B) I believe there's only one person who does the editing of the books (continuity, characters, ...) so either he/she got replaced or someone else at MGM felt like they have to change the feel of the books in order to reach more people.

Which brings me to C

I don't think they sell in large quantities. I don't think they are as popular as they could be. I don't know, really, because I don't know any sales figures but maybe they want a wider SGA audience and taking the romantic touch out might provide that.

I wouldn't keep your hopes up, especially not if the authors stay the same.

Okay xD

Too Late. My Hopes are Up

I think it was the personnel change that caused the halt. Also, I think they wanted to not have any romance between main characters, just like JF said recently. Thus, Sparky would never happen either. Or McShep for that matter.

And, yes, the authors put their own personal feelings above potential book sales. I would have gladly read all of them if not for the implied Sheyla. Well, there's also that Wraith thing. Oh, let's just face it. Those books were a nightmare for a lot of reasons.

And, I haven't heard a thing about how good or bad the latest Elizabeth-centered one is.

Challenge # 56

Since Christmas is next week, this week's challenge will focus on that. Make art [or fan fi]c that uses a quote from your favorite Christmas movie, or a lyric from your favorite Christmas song. You can also make art that represents your favorite Christmas song and/or movie. Here is a site with a list of songs and a list of movies to help you out.

If you just do not do Christmas at all, and/or do not like Christmas movies or songs, you can always go back and do a challenge from the past that you did not do, or you want to redo. The list is here.

Entries are due to me Monday by noon your time Dec. 22nd.

I will also be handing out secret santas on that day, so get your gifts in to me before the 21st please!

I like the princess banner.

And, I haven't heard a thing about how good or bad the latest Elizabeth-centered one is.

That's probably a good thing. *puts hands back over ears and starts singing Kumbaya*

Saw at least one John/Elizabeth story in the sga_santa release. It's NC-17, and it's interesting material. I know, cause I beta'd it.
