Eve11's sequel, a meme, and SGA questions

[aurora_novarum]

If you haven't read eve11's Folsum Prison Blues and its sequel, you should. And then read the latest addition in her answer to me when I played a writing meme on her lj.

In fact the meme was so fun, I want to play it too (come play with me! It's Friday!):

Name any story I've written, and any character in them, canon or OC. I'll tell you three things about that character which I didn't put in the story.

I plan on posting a rec later today of three awesome fics I've been lucky enough to get a sneak peek of betaed, as soon as someone finally posts hers. ;-)

Oh, and while I'm on here, a couple of SGA canon questions (weirdly for an SG-1 fic, but...don't ask). My SGA canon knowledge comes nowhere close to my SG-1 trivial info. 1) Do we know when Carson developed the Ancient gene? On Earth or on Atlantis? 2) Lorne has the Ancient gene, but is it canon as to whether he has it naturally or from the therapy or can I play either way? 3) How did that Ancient personal shield (from S1 and S3) attach to the person?

1) He perfected it soon after they got to Atlantis; I don't know if he'd been working on it on Earth, but I would think it's a safe bet he was.

2) I don't know if they've ever specified.

3) The first person (with the Ancient gene) to touch it activates it, and it imprints on that person so that that person is the only one who can use it. How it physically attaches to a person - Ancient velcro, as far as I can tell. :P

So...SG-1 fic using some Atlantean plot details, hmmm? *intrigued*

Yup mahoni is right.

1) Carson was a natural gene carrier, but he was pretty afraid of it in the pilot. I imagine he'd worked with it over time

2) Exactly. It's never been specified either way in Lorne's case

3) Yeah, it just seems to 'stick' to the user until it turns off or runs out of juice. Then it just falls off.

Bill Lee: "Just a Scientist." (You knew I was going to ask about him, didn't you?)

Not me! I posted mine! :)

For your fic meme:

The poor confused doctor in "Trauma Confusion." I always felt sorry for laughing at her utter bafflement.

I think the best answer to #3 is magic. Also differently since between S1 and S3 they completely forgot how the shield worked. Grrrrr

Your meme!
Vala in your most-Talion tag! (sorry, I'm blanking on the title)

Are you still meming? How about three things about Harrid and Sallis? (I think those are their names - the poor couple from the S9 opener that you brought so beautifully to life. Before they died, of course.)
