Seven Days in Atlantis was a good fic but I didn't like how the writer handled Sheppard; basing him more on fanon cliches than his actual character - and the cliches I normally have a problem with (him being self-sacrificing with no consideration for his well being, and being berated for almost dying from doing his job. I never like it when a writer has Sheppard chewed out for saving others as it just seems so ungrateful.)
Though Sheppard can be a hard character to grasp, his personality is more my type. McKay's a very interesting character, but he's very chatty and people that chatty - in real life - tend to make me uncomfortable. But I feel Rodney does great angst. I love Rodney angst as, to me, it shows a lot of developement for him. I like Sheppard angst, too, but pure Sheppard angst without him being whumped, too, doesn't cut it for me. To me, it's just a given that Sheppard would be worried. We already knows he cares. Rodney, on the other hand, is more multi-faceted emotionally creating for much broader angst.But that's just my opinion.
