Three Qs though-
1) Should it be organized by episode or by categeory (past, family info, health info, etc)? Episode is certainly easier (what we learned about the character in that ep) but I think it may be better and easier to read if it's written by category. For example, there could be discussion about Rodney's health concerns and it could be mentioned that he has an allergy to citrus (Redemption pt2).
2) Should one file be written for each season or should there be one overall file that's update with new info as we get it? The latter obviously sounds better, but I don't know if I'm going to update both files after each new ep. Maybe it's better to update at the end of each season or halfway?
3) What about spoilers? Since people in different parts of the world get the eps at different times someone could get spoiled if they read an updated character file. Should a disclaimer at the start be enough?
K/W??!! I hope you're talking about Kolya...
Oh, and while on the topic of Kolya I found an older fic about the Storm with some M/W stuff! I don't think it's in our C2 community directory either!
"A Simple Thing"
"Sanctuary" is on tonight. I'm watching it solely for that little scene with Elizabeth and Rodney where they're arguing and he turns away and she watches him with the faintest smile. Saw it first in Hans's vid and now I want to see it "for real". Are there any M/W Sanctuary-related stories? Didn't think so...
And now that there's been talk in the sneak peek about

. If they did pair Sheppard and Weir well I would just be forced to stage a protest or something, I'd just rather have no ships than that one it's just waaaaayyyy too forced for me. And now I go back to lurking 
I think my problem is that Rodney and Elizabeth just feel so right together, from my POV. I was keyed in to the chemistry between them from the beginning, before I ever became a shipper. As I've said before, I think the reason I like M/W so much is because I feel that in a strong relationship, each person is somehow a complement to the other person, so that any shortcomings and strengths in character balance out. I think Elizabeth is a calming factor for Rodney, and he draws his strength from her support, and I also think that Rodney's depth of emotion (be it fear, happiness, etc), and complete inability to conceal it (try as he might) allows Elizabeth a little more leeway to express herself. She is able to joke more with Rodney, and I think she loosens up a bit around him. Each one of them is able to become a better person because of their relationship to one another. However, between Sheppard and Weir, I don't see this kind of complementary relationship. Between Elizabeth and John, it's all about the angstyness, and the two butt heads a lot, and challenge one another. While this can be considered a good thing, (as I consider the challenging relationship between Daniel and Vala to be,) I think it has to be backed up by something a bit more substantial, emotion-wise. I really enjoy when Rodney and Elizabeth challenge each other, because I know it stems from personal emotions, (like Rodney's feeling of inadequacy, for example Hide and Seek and Sanctuary) but between John and Elizabeth, I feel it comes more from their positions as leaders of Atlantis, and John's general disinclination to trust authority figures. If you want to consider any personal feelings, I'd say the only thing I can think of is John personally not feeling that Elizabeth makes the right decisions, and doubts her leadership ability (I'm thinking Hot Zone, in particular) and that to me does not build a strong foundation for a close relationship. However, I think that even when Rodney disagrees with Elizabeth's decisions, he still has the utmost confidence in her skill as a leader, and even in Sanctuary, when he really doubted her confidence in both Chaya and Sheppard's judgement, he was still appealing to her to make the decisions, like
