This was the sweetest thing. It made me weep in a good way. I have been thinking that something like this would be possible for Sparky. Please write more.

Oh the angst, the adventure, the eye sex. This has it all. And the characterizations are perfect.

Now get them the hell out of there.

Summary: John invites the gang to watch Galaxy Quest.
This is just a silly little story that sprang from a conversation at the Gateworld Forum. It ended up much darker and longer than I planned, but it’s still fully filled with Elizabeth/John.

Both your plot bunnies were great. I loved the comedy part best though. But her saying "never give up, never surrender", made up for any slight disappointment with the angst. I wish we had seen movie night on the show.

Author's Response: Thank you! The only downside of using that line as an important factor is that the reader must have seen the movie to really understand it... but I actually don\'t know a single sci-fi fan that hasn\'t seen Galaxy Quest yet. ;^)
And you\'re right, movie night on the show would have been awesome. They really should have fitted it in somewhere.

Squeeeee! John ate Elizabeth's bunny ears. I just know she'll pay him back later.

Author's Response: *laughs* Yeah, she will. Thanks for reading, and glad you liked it. :)

Summary: AU high school story inspired by my friends at Gateworld. The lonely jock and the too busy popular girl. Can the odd couple give romance a chance?

Still going strong. Sounds like high school to me. And John's done for now.

Author's Response: Thanks.

"Arguing with a Marine is like smashing your head against a brick wall.” Tell me about it. I've been married to one for quite a few years. LOL

Very well written. I loved the football stuff. Don't expect this much description in my fic. I'm aiming for the general audience.

Most fics I've read that portray them as high schoolers have been very...immature. I like the way you keep them true to themselves yet youthful.

Author's Response: Thank you very much. I tried to keep the football basic as possible. I could add a note saying what dime, shotgun, and cover 2man under mean. I do try to keep their personalities, so the vote of confidence helps.

I like your slow build up of the relationship. Intrigued by the Teyla comment also.

Just a little niggle. Elizabeth seems too perfect. I'm hoping John can loosen her up a bit.

Author's Response: I'm trying to keep Liz on the demure side. That's just how the character struck me, nice and personable. I tried using the lack of movie knowledge to show she doesn't really use her free time. Nose stuck in a book and always busy with activities. She tries to hide her laughter and John's jokes, trying to keep things business. Trying to keep her button down but not uptight. But don't worry, she'll loosen up.

Awww, John got the girl. And Ronon had better choose VA Tech.

Author's Response: Thanks and hope you enjoyed. I figured a little mention to all of our favorite football teams would be nice.

So sad. But it's nice to read a fic where John was able to move on. He will never forget her and his memories will sustain him. Beautifully done.

This was so beautiful. I admit to getting a bit moisty in the eye region.

I always wished there had been more with John and Hedda.

I haven't enjoyed a fic this much in a long while. You hit all the right notes and I just knew it would turn out great. Sparky forever!
