I only know about Sparky because someone else had asked about it, and that's what the shippers said. That... is the stupidest reason for giving a crappy name to a pairing ever. That reasoning could be applied to pretty much any ship! (since most people base a ship off of *something*). *shakes head*
Anyone who uses Brustin needs to be beaten to death. Seriously. Seriously. B/J is perfectly nice, easier to say, doesn't sound as stupid, and has nice implications (I have a wall paper of that B/J scene where Justin spits on the Stockwell poster that says "B/j: Brian/Justing (what *else* did you think it stood for) or something cute like that. I had never picked up on it before that).
I can't read John with anyone else, either. I tried a few times to read John/Ronon and John/Lorne, because I love Ronon and Lorne, but they just didn't click for me. Yeah, I don't actually care for John's character all that much. And he shows the most personality around Rodney, so I find it hard to read him with anyone else.
While I can see Rodney being more sexually available than John, I'm also not that interested in reading Rodney/not-John because, well, they're not John. :P When I first got into SGA, I steadfastly refused to read McShep. There was no way I'd get sucked into *that* pairing. It was McBeck all the way for me. But there just weren't all that many McBeck fics, and my best friend tempted me with totally awesome McBeckShep fics (Ha! That was used just because, I totally don't call them that normally). Then she sent me a ton of the best McShep fics of the time... and well, I was lost from there on.
I can read threesome fics with John/Rodney/someone hot, as long as the bulk of the emotional content is between John and Rodney. Actually threesomes that are CharacterA/CharacterB+CharacterC don't interest me all that much. I've read it a few times, but I much prefer A/B/C. So many fics can't get that down right, the equal relationship, and so it's incredibly rare and special when you are able to find one. Actually, I've only read 2 that I've been happy with, and they've both been in the SGA fandom Back from the Well by xanthelj and Alone in Your Mind by James Walkswithwind (both are McKay/Sheppard/Beckett).
Is it just me, or have you noticed a surge of team OT4 fics recently?
