That's right - this here uber Shep fan has an idea for a McKay centric fic, so all you McKay fans/writers listen up.
Minimum word length: 2000
Maximum word length: none
Character(s): McKay, Sheppard
Plot idea: I was watching... some SGA episode (can't remember which) and it hit me "Wow, McKay's really become quite the little genius Rambo over the years." Mainly in his use of the P-90 and 9 mil but who's to say he hasn't developed a taste for using C-4 ;) Anywho, the idea is this - McKay is among fellow geniuses on earth - maybe at a symposium or something else. These are geniuses he either knows personally or happens to be familiar with (maybe some of them work for the Stargate program, all of them do, or they are about to be recruited), and they don't think much of him, and especially dislike the fact that he's friends with John (maybe Lorne can be there too) and/or that he spends so much time off-world, shooting guns, putting himself in danger, etc. Then, something happens - I'll leave that up to whoever writes this - and McKay has to use that military experience to save them all.
Genre: Action/adventure, Friendship, maybe some H/C, maybe some humor or could be angsty.
Don’t want: Gut wounds. Sheppard made out as a wuss or made fun of because McKay saved the day and he didn't.
Definitely want: McKay channeling Sheppard and showing some military expertise. Friendship/concern between the two.
Anything Else: Being the uber Shep-fan I am, I'd love it if he was whumped. Maybe at the start of the conflict, or maybe during it, thus forcing McKay to take over. Maybe even injured
and captured but not a must.
