Heh, the temptation to skip to the good stuff is a big one. And wow, you really wrote Cousins in a flip floppy order -- however each one of those was self-contained. All you had to do was keep the history in your mind, right? ;) Speaking of, any chance of a Part 5? I adore BigBrother/BigCousin John, and the whumper in me wonders how he's going to take the events of things such as... "The Storm"...

I think for "Dead or Alive", I wrote the abduction scene first, then the final ending scene, and started filling in various bits and pieces from then. I know I wrote Ford and Teyla's stuff last. I honestly wish I could jump around in this one, but, well... the characters are in such a different place than they are in the series.

Part of me is wondering if I can somehow use a different plot. I mean, I love SuperSpy!Rodney, but the beginning is much harder than I thought it'd be.

Speaking of WIPs... I ran into "Desolation" in my inbox. Is it too soon to give you a good intentioned poke on that one? ;)
