fic rec (SGA)

linziday wrote me this awesome McKay-centric five-things fic, and I must share right away:
Four Times Rodney McKay Got Shot Saving the Day (And One Time He Didn’t)
Gen; PG13; Rodney and team; action/humor/whump; ~5,000 words

I love the five things meme, and this fic is another great take on it.

“Come on, McKay,” Sheppard wheedled while they watched two teams gather on the nearby grassy field — each player carrying a hollow stick and clutching a handful of colorful hard berries. “It’s a kids’ game.”
And, yes, okay, the players were young. Pre-adolescent even. Still.
Blow. Darts.

Is LJ really slow or is it just me? The LJ servers taking the Easter holidays off?

via yhlee I found this very interesting post by sinnesspiel about Japanese speech styles (using the examples of Roy and Olivier) and how to translate them into English. Fascinating stuff, and very clearly laid out.
