theory proven:

[wisdomeagle]

I'm trying to write genderbent!McKay, i.e., an AU where McKay is female (not a feminized version of the male McKay, but an actual, honest to God, essentialist female body parts and two X chromosomes gendered as feminine since birth woman), and have discovered that not only is McKay my Mary Sue, but genderbent!McKay is virtually indistinguishable from me.

Oops?

And is anyone else far more inspired at night? I sleep during the day and not at night and it has nothing to do with how tired I am, but I'm just more... more everything at night. *is nocturnal like whoa*

cheese_munkey's roommate thinks my headaches are stress related. Obviously, I should drop out of school and become a wandering minstrel, as would relieve all stress, but somehow, Tylenol seems less drastic.

Tried some mental experiments trying various characters as the opposite gender. Figured out that have grave difficulties 'shipping McKay, male or female, with a male person. Wonder if this is another symptom of over-identification? Must consider.

Must also sleep. *dies*

Genderbent!McKay!!!!!!!!

*SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

So, so, what's Rodney's girl name? It's gotta be something embarassing and curmudgeony. Like Ethel or something.

*gah*

Oh god. Girl!McKay/Weir/Sam/Cassie/Catherine/Janet orgy. TheirloveissoXchromosone!

Is totally not my idea. Blame medie.

But is so squee!

McKay has refused to reveal her given name to me. She's really defensively feministy about going by her surname to everyone since she's spent her whole life not being The Girl in a field that is truly a man's field so she's got this uber-hard-edged butch act going. Which doesn't work at all since butch on girl!McKay works about as well as it does on boy!McKay... not very.

*dies and goes to geek!love heaven*

*adds in some crossover characters as well*

Robin, maybe? That's the closest I can find to a "feminization" of Rodney. *g* dragonsinger named hers Rose.

Of course, after I mentioned that I also found Rina, Rona, Roma, Rory and Roxanne. ;-)

I'm pretty much nocturnal as well. I tend to go to bed around 3 or 4 am...

But I'm able to sleep in. No wonder you have headaches...

McKay as a bonafied woman, eh? Can't wait to read it. And she's your Mary-Sue, huh? Well, since it's you, I don't think I'll mind that too much. ;->

I think she'd have something really classic and simple as a first name--like Jane, even--something that, like Rodney, wouldn't have made people think twice in Victorian times but make them think it's weird and old-fashioned today.

This idea totally fascinates me. I'm really looking forward to what happens with it.

Aww, you are too sweet. :)

Still trying to decide on the name, and cannot find baby name book to help me. Perhaps I left it in Ohio. Anyhow, I'm excited that everyone seems all excited about this idea!

Yeah... stress and sleep deprivation and caffeine addiction will do that (i.e., headaches) to a girl...
