Link away. That's what it's here for. Honestly the more discussion that comes out of this the better. I may try and see if there's a SGA newsletter or something to get it linked to because I'd love to see this reading of Sheppard get a little more prominance. (The best meta? It's basically just a series of Sheppard making awkward faces while getting hit on. =p)
I tried not to let this meta get too personal, but it really really had that danger. Because I think I've had this discussion with you, but in terms of personality/worldview/whatever I am Sheppard to a truly alarming degree. Even without the ace part, I would be Sheppard to a truly alarming degree (seriously, in episode two he opened by basically telling the Athosian children the plots of slasher movies. He made friends with McKay by pushing him off balconies. He is a science fiction geek and a math dork and does it all while still being kind of a sports guy too.) I can't tell you how awesome it was to have a character I identify with that strongly to subvert all the romance tropes that are so typical of this genre and not be portrayed as defective or aloof or anything other than human.
If your group starts to couple off (and mine has to a certain degree), you're welcome to come fine me. I am allergic to feelings but I can definitely try.
