I had kinda wondered about the anorexia thing, because anorexic-Sheppard is such a common thing in fic, not just yours. I suppose I'd always chalked it up to "other people's kinks, not mine" and never thought too much about it, beyond wondering if it had something to do with Flanigan being a trim guy to begin with. Interesting explanation. The way you describe it, it sounds like the reasoning is similar to why my plots often involving doing something to his legs, thus making it difficult for him to spoil my carefully crafted plot by charging to the rescue and shooting the bad guys. *g*
