Deranged Mckay & traumatised Mckay

[korilian.livejournal.com]

I'm hosting a Deranged Mckay Masterlist that is starting to grow to Mammoth proportions (talk about genre eh?). It's a compilation of all the fics (that I know of), that feature a Rodney who's a few planets short of a galaxy, if you catch my drift.  

Featuring: The serious mental health problem list/ The nervous breakdown list/ The 'OMG they broke Rodney' list/ The 'flying HIGH' list

And with that out of the way, can anyone point me to fic that features Rodney's horrible, horrible childhood? (or mildly horrible childhood. Whatever ;) I've made a start of a Rodney's misserable childhood masterlist.

Oh yeah... I remember that part. There was something about needing to know the outgoing adress from where you were dialing as well as the one where you wanted to know, and apparently Rodney didn't know the former. Erm, I think. That bit kinda flew over my head, as I was never a SG-1 fan/watcher, so the intricate canon details of gating are outside my scope. But it was a bit frustrating that Rodney couldn't work his usual gate!magic(TM), I agree with you there. Still, another agreeing, lavvyan *is* a fantastic writer, and this was a heck of a long story and kind of an early-ish attempt (hope I'm right there), so I was willing to overlook the messy detail-bits.

And now I really will read the whole thing again. *clutches at head* And I've barely scratch the bottomless barrel that's SGA Big Bang!

Pretty sure it was an early work. Actually canon isn't really clear on the whole dialing sequence thing. From what I understood from the movie, you would need the origin glyph, which means knowing what planet you're on. But Rodney could dial out in the Hive, even though he didn't know what planet he was on... But from the movie science it doens't make sense that they can use the same gate adress every time either!
At any rate, in the story it was stated outright, that Rodney just didn't remember any adresses.
