Three Random Requests

[roxy-skip.livejournal.com]

Hi guys! On the prowl for two types of fic:

1) Rodney as a girl - are there any fics where rodney is turned into a woman, and gets treated diferently by other people on Atlantis - maybe he gets in trouble/captured and Sheppard's protective/chauvinistic streak comes out? And how rodney reacts to it all?

2) I just discovered the awesome, but unfinished, fic, Love's Tangled Web - where john and rodney meet for the first time and john kidnaps rodney/is the (supposed?) baddie? Anyone know of anything else like this?

3) Have discovered a recent love for AUs where John and Rodney meet for the first time and things slowly progess - A Farm In Iowa, Strangers on a Train... any more recs along those lines?

Thanks to anyone who can help me out!

Regarding #3: How much AU are you shooting for? Complete AU or Another Fork taken type AU?

[roxy-skip.livejournal.com]

Wow, thank you! Can't wait to get started on these.

#3 - I'm pretty easy - I've enjoyed fics that are both Another Fork style and where John and Rodney have never even heard of Atlantis - just as long as they are well written, I find it pretty easy to get sucked into the story.

I'm a little surprised there's anyone who hasn't see this, but here's a pretty comprehensive list of McShep AUs (http://elderwitty.livejournal.com/11289.html).

For (2), I can't remember where I read this but I think that after a lot of RL problems, it doesn't look like that story will ever be finished. I hate that because I was really enjoying it. Maybe someone else here has more information?

For #3 sort-of Other Fork AU's
