Dear Pete Anders,

I'm very sorry that most of fandom seems to dislike you, or, in some cases, hate you. It's even sadder that most of them simply see you as a stepping stone to the true love of Sam/Jack Kara/Lee, and that you're just there to make her see how much she loves Jack Lee.

Unfortunately, despite the fact that you're actually good for Sam Kara, fandom really just wants to fuck Jack Lee themselves, and Sam Kara makes a convenient stand-in. (Although, surprisingly, a few want to fuck Sam Kara, and you aren't pretty enough for them to be).

Sadly, this means that most of the fic written about you will be a treatise about why you and Sam Kara are ultimately doomed to fail.

I'd say there would be fic of the opposite type, but those of us who like you aren't quite so fucking petty.

I will say this, though, you're less demonized than Pete Shanahan ever was. Although, please don't buy Kara a house. That would be just a little presumptuous.

Lyss



Dear Dee,

I'm very sorry that fandom hates you more than they hated Mary Sue Kerry. Perhaps if you suddenly told Lee he didn't want you and he really wanted Daniel Kara, things might go better for you.

Possibly, they all just think you're Laira and Sara and Kynthia rolled into one. Which, sadly, the three of them together are a hard act to follow.

I suppose you could go have Lee's baby and then Charlie could die because his dad left a fire-arm lying around.

If it helps, the two of you are veryvery pretty together, and kind of hit the kink Wash/Zoe did for me.

Please try not to take the hatred personally, and to remember that sometimes, life sucks.

Lyss

That, and that Galactica isn't really breaking new ground.

If I were Sam, the only guy on the show I would have been interested in nailing (well, before Mitchell showed up) was Jonas. But I'm weird like that. Jack is kind of old and Pete was creepy. Also, by the time I started watching mid-S8 and Tivoing all the repeats, it was obvious that Sam/Jack had become a sad joke. No hotness there whatsoever.

Poor Dee. I'm doing my best to avoid the crazy, some of which is issuing from people who are old enough to know better.

[llorelei.livejournal.com]

Agent Barret was cute. I liked him.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Much like Lantis, I can pretty much ship everyone on SG-1. Barring Jack/Daniel which just... doesn't work as I've seen in fic. Ever. Now, if they're both snarky bitches, otoh...

I may be old enough to know better, but I'm tired of biting my tongue.

[morwen_peredhil]

You're not calling Dee an evilslutwhorebitch, though, which is what I was talking about.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Ah. Clarification is good for those of us who spent the day staring at spreadsheets and wondering "why accounting?" And I have no Dee icon. hrm.

*doesn't hate Anders*

*hates Dee though, pretty much 'cause of her total dismissal of Billy's death, which WAS FOR HER* And her leading him on. *shrug*

[ianmcin.livejournal.com]

I'm not gonna say I hate Dee, but I'm definitely in your corner with her (and arguably the authors') poor treatment of Billy.

[aj.livejournal.com]

*doesn't hate Anders*

*doesn't mind the Lee/Dee, just wishes Dee had informed Billy about her preference before going on a date with Lee and having Billy die saving Dee's and Lee's life*

*SOBS*

AHHHHHHHHh!!!!!!!! SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*goes after A.j. with sticks, but knows A.j. is too sad to care*

*cries sadly while being beaten with sticks*

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

I love Anders. When Kara left him on the planet the first time me and my friend Kat were like "Oh noes! Don't leave the cute and caring and non-fucked up boy behind... go back and GET HIM!!"

I adore Lee and adore Kara... but not together... I think they are disastrous. If I had to have Kara with anyone other than Lee it would be Helo...

*In the unpopular corner*

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

Oops... meant anyone other than *Anders* there, in case you couldn't tell.

[rhi-silverflame.livejournal.com]

I have to cling to you in the unpopular corner now, please.

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

*clings back*

Welcome, there's plenty of room here!

[audioboy.livejournal.com]

Lyss,

You are the Goddess of Snark and I 'ship the keyboard you type on.

Love,
AB

;)

[kathgrr.livejournal.com]

Very astute and hilarious observation - thank you for making me laugh.

Although, please don't buy Kara a house. That would be just a little presumptuous.
and um... they kind of need a planet for that too....

*doesn't hate Anders* - he tickles my heterosexual urges
*doesn't hate Dee (anymore)* - but Laira/Sara/Kynthia and dont' forget KERRY!! all rolled into one is pretty hard to resist...

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

See, thing is, fandom generally liked Kerry. Because she told Jack to go have sex with Sam/Daniel/Teal'c/whomever.

Sadly, Dee is definitely not that well-liked.

[timjr.livejournal.com]

I think something along the lines of "I love you" and "I want to have your babies" is the appropriate response.

That, plus, A-FRAKKING-MEN to all that, yo.

[hyari.livejournal.com]

See, now I want fic where Pete Anders buys Kara a house. (Hey if anyone could write it, it would be YOU.)

*doesn't know who Dee is and walks away muttering*

[hyari.livejournal.com]

Hrm. My Pete didn't go through in that first comment...

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*snickers*

"So, I bought you a house."

Kara wrinkled her forehead. "What?"

Waving a french fry, Anders repeated, "I bought you a house."

...*mutter*

[ebneter.livejournal.com]

I see that it is a good thing indeed that I was never into Stargate in any way...

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*stares* Do I want to know what's going on in your icon? (and, really, SG fandom is about as wanky as everything else)

[ebneter.livejournal.com]

What? Never seen Starbuck hit a bong before? *laughs*

Actually, that's from Halloween: Resurrection and yes, it is Katee Sackhoff doing a bong hit. It's my "whatever are they smoking?" icon.

[karma-aster.livejournal.com]

...don't people in fandoms get the concept of "recreational sex"? Why can't two characters just simply be horny? Why does it always have to mean something? I mean, the real world sure as hell works on lots of recreational sex.

[rhi-silverflame.livejournal.com]

Have I mentioned the part where I seriously love you in ways appropriate and inappropriate, all the while shouting like I'm at a Baptist revival meeting?

[timjr.livejournal.com]

...how is this anything but a rephrasal of exactly what I said o.O

[rhi-silverflame.livejournal.com]

How is it in any way shocking that my comment was a rephrasing of exactly what you said? :P

[timjr.livejournal.com]

I was just wondering if you did it on purpose! That's all!

[rhi-silverflame.livejournal.com]

Actually, no. HELLO BRAIN LINKY. Now leave me alone. :P

[timjr.livejournal.com]

I refuse to leave you alone. *leaves you with... erm, someone. Yes*

[rhi-silverflame.livejournal.com]

. . . yay?

[sabaceanbabe.livejournal.com]

*jumps up and down, cheering and applauding*

[reddirtcowboy.livejournal.com]

I don't dislike/hate Anders either. To be honest, though, I wish we could have seen more of him to get a better idea of what makes him tick. Maybe we'll see more before seasons end.

I still like Dee, yeah, she could have been more up front with Billy, but I can't really hold something like that against her.

As for Lee... *shrug* I found him interesting up until Rez Ship II and then I just saw Gambit sitting on a roof. It's probably going to get worse with his second near-death experience. *yawn*

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*the magic of copy/paste saves the reply*

Gambit sitting on a roof. *DIES*

I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one!

*answering backwards*

The thing is, I can see why she'd end up not saying anything. She's already hurt him by saying no, and not knowing how to do it right (it was beautifully awkward and painful). Not to mention that, previously, she still didn't know how to tell him.

Sorry. Went off to make dinner and lost my train of thought.

I think I was going to say something vaguely inconsistent about Anders having a lack of screentime, but we do know that he believes in Kara, makes her smile, isn't military-trained, and has overwhelming losses. And is tall.

[rabbit-the-wise.livejournal.com]

that's the problem with lys...when i'm all ready wound up and crazy, she takes me to the next level.

*falls from ceiling perch*

*wishes i was 'cat_the_wise* the landing wouldn't hurt so much.

is it just me or does anders remind anyone else of a very young richard hatch? or am i late to the party again.

and here, here, recreational sex for *everyone*...including adama...that man needs to get laid.

[rabbit-the-wise.livejournal.com]

*grossing myself out*

errant thought in the middle of dull meeting --> someone needs to lick adama's scar top to bottom.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

YOU ARE THE WORST INFLUENCE EVER.

[rabbit-the-wise.livejournal.com]

oh, and here i was thinking that was you!!! : )

[llorelei.livejournal.com]

I think you're doing a disservice to Anders by comparing him with Pete. :/ Poor Anders.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

See, I was gonna, like, have an argument about that, but you and Katcorvi used the secret weapon known to distract Lyssie. Sam Smirk Icons. In STEREO.

ALMOST as good as using breasts.

[katcorvi.livejournal.com]

You? Make my day. :::tosses Oreos and Nutter Butters:::

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*catches and wanders off to get milk*

Thank you!

*gazes happily at your icon, too*

[scarfman]

Yeah, Dee could have been more up front with Billy ... if she had known what the flick she was feeling herself.

Dee, Pete and Anders are all victims of what I've been calling since c.2001 "Riley Finn Syndrome".

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Heh. This is very true. sigh. Sadly.
