John/Rodney Quiz

[erda]

I made this little John/Rodney faniction quiz for three_weeks_for_dw It was so much fun to go through my old SGA stories. I ended up rereading most of these, and they were just as good as I remembered. How many of them do you remember? Can you match the descriptions to the authors without googling or looking at their journals?

Bonus question: Can you give the titles?

ETA: Don't look at the comments before doing the quiz because some smart asses have already gotten them all and I just posted it less than five minutes ago. Sorry for not screening.



1. Atlantis has broken off from earth just like we always hoped they would.

2. John is dead and Rodney has PTSD.

3. The one with the ancient baby making machine.

4. There's a baby in this one too, but it's a loaner.

5. Slacker John meets professor Rodney and the neighbors approve.

6. Of slavery and trauma bonds.

7. Atlantis has a knitting club.

8. They're girls! They're guys again!

9. This is a better version of Flowers for Algernon than we got from canon.

10. Rodney's car breaks down on some property John inherited.

[erda]

Haha! Nine's a hard one.

[erda]

I never thought to screen the comments, and it's too late now. So don't look. thingswithwings writing kidfic?? I think not.

[busaikko]

Heh. I'm revealing my podfic tastes, here. No. 6 I really, really want to say is 7 Brides for 7 Brothers, but I know that is Wrong. 7 Cities? 7 Castles? 7-Up? *fail*) PS: people who get most of them right should get a banner reading 'smartass' *g* That would be brilliant.

[erda]

Hahahaha! SGA Smartass! I wish I knew how to make banners because I would so do that.

[torachan]

City of Seven Walls.

(I haven't even read it!)

[anatsuno]

without cheating!

1.c There are a lot of stories about this but I suppose you mean Written by the Victors? I would have said 'Atlantis HAS broken off from Earth', considering the setup :D

2.f Freedom is just another word for nothing left to loose.

3.i A Beautiful Lifetime Event

4.e Probably Helenish, but damned if I see which story you're talking about exactly! I'm blanking.

5.b Junk Cheap

6.j In the City of the Seven Walls

7.h Pru Atlantis Stitch and Bitch

8.a Always should be someone

9.g I think it's by Rheanna, and I haven't read it because I didn't feel up to crying my heart out. *g*

10.d A Farm in Iowa

[erda]

I would have said 'Atlantis HAS broken off from Earth

Point, I changed it.

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to loose.

I would have said lose. ;-))

[anatsuno]

oosps! haha. :)

Process of elimination should give you this one. I know there is a ton of kidfic, but ones where the baby is a loaner? Heh, you're probably right.

You guys are too smart. Or too fanatical maybe.

[mecurtin]

No, you picked ones that are too easy! Be more nefarious next time. *g*

I guessed on three of them, but I'm fairly certain about the other three.

The thing is? I think I've only read two or three of these (if I'm right, I've read 1, 3, and 8). Huzzah for fannish osmosis!

[torachan]

Oh, I guessed wrong on helenish vs devildoll and it turns out I have actually read a fourth! I didn't recognise that as Junk Cheap, but I have read it... (Somehow the description seemed like something helenish would write.)

[erda]

Yep, you got them all now. :-)

[iadorespike]

I've only read five of them, but I got eight of them right. :) Fannish osmosis, indeed. LOL

[erda]

Hee! Fannish osmosis is amazing. And you've done really well, only mixed two of them up.

[calime]

1. Atlantis has broken off from earth just like we always hoped they would. c. cesperanza "Written by the Victors"

2. John is dead and Rodney has PTSD.- f. synecdochic "Freedom's Just Another Word for Nothing Left to Lose"

3. The one with the ancient baby making machine.-i. Shalott "A Beautiful Lifetime Event"

4. There's a baby in this one too, but it's a loaner. - cesperanza's "Weddings, Plural, and a Yak"?

5. Slacker John meets professor Rodney and the neighbors approve. - b. devildoll "Junk Cheap"

8. They're girls! They're guys again! e. helenish? or auburn's Ardhanarishvara? or thingswithwings Always Should Be Someone You Really Love?

9. This is a better version of Flowers for Algernon than we got from canon. g. Rheanna ? or a. thingswithwings?

10. Rodney's car breaks down on some property John inherited. - d. Sheafrotherdon "A Farm in Iowa"-verse

[erda]

Heh, you're too smart for me, I think. I'd forgotten about Take Clothes Off as Directed and Ardhanarishvara, so those are not here. But they fit the descriptions and authors so I can't really say they are wrong.

[blnchflr]

I hope you plan to post links at some point :o)

[erda]

Heh, sorry. Some of these are not to my knowledge available on Dreamwidth, so I won't be providing links. However, googling the titles with their authors should bring them all up.

[iadorespike]

I did mine on paper, but I'll admit I've already checked my answers. :)

1) Ces
2) Synecdochic - Freedom's Just Another Word
3) Shallot - A Beautiful Lifetime Event
4) Helenish
5) Devildoll - Junk Cheap
6) Auburn
7) Thingswithwings (Yes, I know I was wrong. *sigh*)
8) Rageprufrock (ditto)
9) Rheanna - and I wish someone would post the name, because I can't remember to save my life, and I loved this story. :(
10) Sheafrotherdon

Eight out of ten isn't bad. :)

[erda]

Yes, 8/10 is pretty good for stories that are now several years old.

rheanna's story is called Theory of Everything

[iadorespike]

Thanks! It was killing me. :) And, yes, considering I've only read five of the stories. Still, the other three I got right I knew almost instantly just from their rep. ;)

Fun little exercise, though, so thanks for the post! :)
