One of these days, I'm going to have to write something Liz/Ronon that isn't crackfic. Because I really like this pairing (even if they're not going to do anything with it in the show).
My dream scene right now is to see Liz sleepily taking a call from the control room one morning, before the camera pans back and we discover Ronon in bed with her. If that ever happened, I'd call up one of the writers and squeal in his ear. Which is almost certainly why they never will. Can you think of the meow-boom? Dudes. Chimera (or, hell, Divide and Conquer) in SG-1 would compare to it like a car-bomb on the West Bank to the A-bomb in Hiroshima.
Brr. Fangirls. *g* Guess I'll just have to become adept at working non-canon pairings, eh?
Absently *prods* all the people who followed me over from SG-1 fandom: are you guys actually reading this LJ? Or has my foray into weird and wacky pairings instead of your OTP dissuaded you from reading anything here?
It's my observation that het-fen tend to stick with an OTP religiously. (I can say this because I was a het OTP fan once-upon-a-time - still am when it comes to that specific pairing) There's no crossover, no alternate pairings, no open options - they read exclusively: it's X/Y and if it's not that then they're not going to touch it with a ten-foot pole. The only reason they'd respond to a Y/Z pairing is if it's subtly X/Y at the same time.
This primarily comes from my experience in SGA: gen, slash, and femslashers appear considerably more open to a multitude of pairings. I hate to say it, because most of the people I consider my friends in the fandom are still het OTPers - which is also why I'm curious if any of them are actually reading this LJ. The broad readers in SGA aren't really the people who I think of as shipping the het pairings. Tell you true, I'm somewhat tickled to discover that most of the people who've friended this LJ are slash-oriented folks.
Incidentally, not all het OTPers are teenybopper girls. Some of the friends I mentioned are thirty, forty, fiftysomethings - not all of them are female, either.
And if they ever do land Liz with Ronon, remind me that I have to call someone up and squeal in his ear. should be fun. *g*

See, I think I could get behind that idea. I think. :)

Which is why I think Shep, if he was ever sexually attracted to Ronon (or any other guy IMO) would be in complete denial and never say a word at all. For evah and evah, liek whoa.

I could almost see Beckett/McKay - have you seen The Hive yet? - except that I'd feel rather bad for Carson. :-/
