SGA fic: more Pern-fic! oh noes!

[xparrot]

So I'm supposed to be working on my story for sga_genficathon, but after a bit of a rough start on that, I went and wrote this instead. Oops?

It's a sequel to On the Wings of Imagination, aka Rodney's accidental Impression, aka the SGA/Pern fusion AU of DOOM. (Not, mind, the sequel I intended to write, which will go somewhere between that first story and this one). As such, warnings for a bit of crack, and h/c, and also cute overload. Seriously, I fear I've been writing too much angst lately, and this happened as some kind of reaction. Diabetics beware.

SGA: With Healing in His Wings {~6,900 words}
PG; SGA/Pern fusion, h/c, fluff
In which a certain bronze-rider and his very special dragon visit a hold, make a couple new friends, and undermine civilization as we know it; and Rodney eats something he shouldn't have.

ahahaha oh I just ran into this on del.icio.us and I had to say AWESOME. Like apparently everyone else I have the geography and culture and everything of pern burned in my brain from when I was 12, and this oddly... kind of read more like a short pern story than anything. You know, the stupid prejudiced people, the few chosen good ones, the crying women. Sigh, excellent job :D
My favorite part by far was sheppard as a dragon- brilliant!
If I remember correctly McCaffrey has forbidden fanfic with her characters, but this makes me really wish there were more crossovers out there.

Hee, glad you enjoyed it! I was definitely trying to recapture the feel of the books - the feel they gave me, melodrama and brave bucking-the-prejudices-of-society heroes and dragons and all - very happy to know it worked for you.

(McCaffrey has recanted somewhat on the issue of fanfic; she allows stories set on Pern, but not using her characters. So as far as I can determine, my stories are pretty much kosher, but...)

yeah! it's funny while reading her I got kind of sick of the formula, but now it's kind of nice to re-live it.

anyway, just to clarify, I didn't meant to say you were doing something wrong! I meant since you're not using her characters, it's awesome and fine, and there should be more :D
