I just watched SGA 3.10, the Return Part I, and...
seriously, I'm stunned I never heard about the tidbit, seeing as how I haven't attempted to keep myself spoiler free, and Return-era fics are among my favorites (because they are SO GOOD) but...I don't know.  Maybe fandom just nodded knowingly at this one and decided to share winks instead of words, so if someone happens to read this post, and that is the case, let me know and I'll join that in-crowd, but THE PRINCESS BRIDE, JOHN???? 

And you quote from the book, but pretend it's from the movie because that's the kind of secret dork you are?  AND you don't use a funny line, or a cute line, or even a funny line, but the line that when you are twelve and in the midst of loving reading, and you read that line, and you're like: "Fuck, it's true!  FUCK."

Anyways.  I'll say no more about it.  Maybe I will finally start friending people in hopes of finding out more about this amazing amazing thing.  Sometimes, I  convince myself that SGA, while awesome, is not that that great, and it's really fandom that I love.  But then I watch an episode like 3.10, and it's all so so good and I'm a little more in love with the world than I was before.

Oh man, the best part about that line was that when Elizabeth called him on it and asked if it was Oscar Wilde (!) he thought the Princess Bride would sound LESS GAY! LOL, oh John.

I am with you on the fandom-vs-show by the way; the fic actually brought me back after I stopped watching mid-season 1 and now whenever I see an episode I don't like I just overlay it in my head with my favourite authors.
Speaking of episode gems, have you seen Sunday yet? Why on Earth did John just ask Ronon out of the blue if he was dating a man?

QUOTING FROM THE BOOK.!

Yeah, I'd totally forgotten about this, but it does warm my heart.

Also, hello! I...don't believe we've met, but feel free to correct me. (I'm horrible at names in all walks of life.)

LOL no we haven't met. I followed you over from one of your fic-drabbles that I really liked
