You can't?! How can you NOT? I mean, that ep needed to be fixed *g* -- hell, I even liked Jonas in this one ^_^ -- so I adore the lady who wrote it, because as much as I don't exactly love Jonas -- I don't think a lot of writers are being fair to him. He's standing in for a legend *g*

Re:

i know! it doesn't make sense because i SHOULD be reading them. i'm weird. i tried reading them once and that was it. ONCE. i think that i can't read anything remotely linked to meridian. i've only just seen it, not even 3 weeks ago so maybe that's why.

hell, I even liked Jonas in this one ^_^
it must be pretty damn good then. i haven't seen season 6 yet so i only know jonas from meridian and i don't like him at all. although i do try to make an effort.

LOL
you and me both -- although, I haven't watched Meridian, and I'm not planning on it unless I go invest in a large box of kleenex first ^_~

Re:

i did not cry when i watched meridian. but that's because i was with my other two best friends and we had just watched 20 episodes of season 5 juts before that and we were expecting it. but i know if i watch it again alone, i'll break down. that's why i haven't seen it again.

I took a look at these, but they aren't my cup of tea. Aside from the large number of typos and errors (for instance, two different spellings of Jack's wife's name) in the stories, which drive me batty, her situations and characterizations ring completely false for me. Also, there's the problem of endearments, which squick me on sight; when I try to picture either Jack or Daniel calling each other 'babe' or 'love', it makes me wince. *g* So, this series didn't work for me.

Okay, so the endearments quirked me too, but considering the fics I've been reading lately, this one uses a lot less and has better characterization. (::winces::) I've been going through various archives, and although the number well-written fics contra less-well-written is still higher than in the Smallville fandom, I've had to sit through a lot worse.

A few of her situations made me lift an eyebrow occasionally, but considering the length of the story, it wasn't really that bad. Does it work as an ordinary piece of fanfic? Not that much, but as an AU, I enjoyed it.

And yeah, the typos the spelling thing... I guess after a while, my mind simply overwrites what I read and puts in the right words *g*

I really wish I could make my brain put in the correct punctuation and spelling, but selfishly, I want the author to care enough about her work to at least make the effort to do that for me. After all - it's her story; she should have some concern for quality, enough to motivate her to attempt to put out the best product she can. But you know, that's just me. Picky-girl. Too picky for my own good. *g*

That's not a bad thing! Yeah, sure, so there are people out there who would benefit from a good beta -- I know I'm mostly blind to my own errors, but I can trust my betas to smack me over the head with them and make me change them.

But yeah, misspelling names is particularly annoying -- and most word-processing programs have a spell-checker...
