I'm trying to read Biblio, because many people whose opinions I value have told me that her fic really isn't that bad.
Okay, let's see, first page:
"He was the one who’d vocally insisted on gating out here to be the big bad protector of the innocent young archaeologist"
"Carter rushed to excuse her beloved little brother's complete absence of perspective on the current situation,"
"Daniel was so thrilled to be stranded he was bouncing. "The way those golden tones bathe the stones of the temple,"Daniel sighed dreamily."
And this is where I stop.
I can excuse the first one as a joke.
I can excuse the Sam comment as a desperate attempt to make clear that this won't be a ship fic.
But I have NEVER ever seen Daniel sigh "dreamily" or do anything that resembled bouncing. He gets excited, yes, but there is really no bouncing.
And the worst thing is that the story actually sounds interesting, the writing itself isn't bad. But I simply don't have enough time to read these kind of fics when there are so many better things to read.

List five fictional people -- from television, movies, books, whatever -- that you had a crush on as a child (or early teens). Then
post this on your LiveJournal so other people can know what a dork you've always
been.
1. Remington Steele
HUGE crush. I still think that he is terribly attractive.
2. Face
I was an A-Team kid. A-Team was my very first fandom, and yes, I wrote Mary-Sue fanfic for it. Fortunately, the internet wasn't around back then, and I really didn't try to share it with anyone anyway. BUt yes, Face, I worshipped him. And his car. I totally blame him for the car thing.
3. Howie
From The Fall Guy. Okay, there's really no excuse, I know.
4. Sonny Crocket
Miami Vice. He's the one I blame for the gun thing. I was really too young to watch Miami Vice, but my parents were very liberal, and yes, I did have nightmares sometimes. I was definitely not in my early teens when I watched it.
I can only explain this crush with my subconscious and at the time hopefully deeply buried wish to get him out these ridiculous suits.
5. Rick Simon
Simon& Simon. I usually fell for the blonde guys, and I found AJ incredibly cute, but my best friend had claimed him before I could, so I got left with Rick. Good for me!
If they ever released that show on DVD I'd buy it no matter what. Even if it was more expensive than Farscape. It's Simon & Simon, how could you NOT love them?
But my very very first fannish crush was Freeway from "Hart to hart". I was in kindergarden, and I wanted a dog just like that.
I was a fangirl my whole life and I never knew. Weird.
There were more, but the meme only asks for five. Anybody remember Jack Killian form Midnight Caller? Or Viper? *hides*
*hopes that there won't be a meme asking for crushes on musicians*
(They all had long hair when I was twelve, it wasn't my fault!)
