A few things
Sooooo I may have mentioned I am posting a story for ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
stargate_summer this year. I've got my posting date-range--I'm going the last week of June. I'm not sure of the exact date because it includes the weekend of a certain bridal shower for which I will possibly be the only member of the bridal party in attendance apart from the actual, you know, bride. And groom. Probably. So there are some logistics to sort out there.
Anyway! The story is up to 58,000 words at this point in the beta process and I still have ... many more things to add and fix, and I have index cards and an outline and everything, so we all know what that means, right? Yes. Cat-waxing.
So! Here's Stargate SG-1, Season Four on the characterscount wiki, devoted to tracking Bechdel test passes/fails and in general the representation of women and people of color in TV shows and movies. There's not a lot there because you have to be a special kind of obsessive to do this much counting, but anyone can add more! If you're interested in this sort of thing, you can hook up with other people who are atcharacterscount.
Season 4, as it turned out, was even more dismal than every other season preceding it for representation of people of color--it included twelve episodes (more than half!) where Teal'c was the only person of color, and we got to the twelfth episode of the season before two people of color spoke to each other at all. So, uh. *facepalm* Oh, show. What.
And now, off to find something else to do that is not working on my bigbang but also not totally giving in and allowing Generation Kill to take over my brain as it has been trying valiantly to do for the last ten days or so. /o\

(Have I actually found time to watch the miniseries yet? No. Have I read a handful of fics, a single TWOP recap, and plotted two different Nate/Brad epics on that basis? GUESS.)

The miniseries is pretty glorious and painful. And has--a strange amount of Nate/Brad. But then I didn't really fall for either of them so very hard. Nate's heartbreak is gorgeous, and Brad is terrifying and gorgeous--but I was more in the mood to fall for a character I feared *for* than one I feared, and bingo, Ray-Ray fits that.

I have already plotted out a couple of ridiculously huge Brad/Nate AU things, but I can really kind of see the Brad/Ray too!
