Wow, talk about finding new ways to procrastinate (in other words - argh, why can't my ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
femme_fic story come out of my head right?!): I was poking through my distressingly large number of 'swear I'll finish it one day' files (of which I'm posting a poll one of these days, and you guys can pick for me which I should do next, because I'm actually incapable of doing so), failing to find the file I was looking for, and came upon a completely finished story.
Yep, beginning to end, all done, about 5000 words. No idea why it's still sitting on my hard-drive instead of being posted (well, some idea: I'm pretty sure I wrote it for a challenge and thought of something else I liked better, which I ended up submitting. I just don't know why I never did anything else with it). So you would think the logical next step would be to, you know, post it, since it's all done and I even like it.
But no, apparently that would be too simple, because I got to the end and thought, 'you know what, I could totally turn this into a John/Cam story instead of a John/Rodney story.' Which, I know, sounds kind of 'hmm, right, cos Rodney and Cam, so similar,' but I swear it'd work. It's a very John-driven story (and also very au). And so now I am, even though it means I lose possibly my favourite bit of John-dialogue-as-written-by-me ever, in which John, in response to something insulting Rodney says within three minutes of meeting him, says, 'Wow, that's kind of rude. You don't even know me.' I don't even know why I like it so much, but I do.
I'm tempted to say don't answer if the answer's yes, but: this is a sign that my obsession with this pairing is getting kind of unhealthy, right?

no subject
I know what you mean. I just wish I liked them as a pairing (my problem is probably because I don't like David getting in the way of Lorne). I posted about the last episode in my journal, and I'm not sure if thoroughly expressed how much David's behavior was pandering to slashers.
