844,739 Ways to Eat a Hamburger is an SGA team roadtrip from Colorado to DC, in part via I-40 through Asheville and the research triangle area.

You can see why I must rec it. MiniBio for those who don't see the logic: Native of Charlotte. Former camp counselor in Asheville. UNC grad. Currently resident of DC 'burbs. I have probably driven the I-40 route they take 100 times, and missed the I-85 exit at least twice.

Includes Rodney being teased by a table full of Carolina co-eds. And Sheppard's memories of Asheville are mine, with less emphasis on the pretty girls.

Great Teyla and Ronon fish-out-of-water - completely in character.

Rodney's in character, though I don't totally buy him in this. I suspect he would have found a way to recharge the laptop batteries. And I had no idea that Rodney was supposed to be such a coffee addict. In this story, his fictional consumption rivals Daniel's. Possibly surpasses. Or maybe Daniel just has a bigger bladder.

And though I'm not the Ronon worshipper some people in this fandom can be, I have to agree with the big-haired belle in Memphis - he'll do.

Ironically, I cannot stand Waffle House.

Go. Read. Enjoy.

I LOVE that one! Did you read the McShep prequel, The Cigarette Girl in the Sizzle Hotpants?

844,739 is more fall-down-funny and less schmoopy, but I really liked them both. The falling face-forward into the grits was just... I lost it there!

Re: Rodney and coffee, have you seen the Rodney vid Stress? One of the best vids ever made in any fandom, I think. You see some of the coffee drinking, and he's obviously caffeinated to a toxic level the rest of the time. ;-)

This is the bestest SGA crack!ficcie ever! So I have two authors I like now and will read any of their SGA stuff, though I do blow past other fics unless a friend really recs them. Seleneheart and Minervacat are my two must-read SGA writers now! Yay!

If I ever make it to North Carolina, I will think of you and of this fic. That bodes well, don't it?
