Heh. Well, I didn't guess on any of them, but I thought it was you when I read it for two reasons: first of all, basing a fic around the work of an obscure scientist/author seems like something you'd do - I guess the intellectual mixing with the good porn like in Something Wicked is kind of something I associate with the stuff you've written. And second, because Tango seemed like such an [livejournal.com profile] astolat-written story that it was definitely not her, and she would have been my second choice for who wrote it, because woo hoo semi-colons. (I could write an ode to semi-colons I love them so much - however, that would be a highly nerdy thing to do, and I would never admit to doing it.)

In any case, I love "Guess The Author" things like this, even if I never participate because I'm a loser.

Also: I love the way you write Rodney in this. Especially at the beginning, the listing of things seems like such a Rodney thought process, especially when it's listing how the thought process even gets processed. Rodney's voice works so well here, even when John's voice doesn't quite work for me (I can't really see John calling Rodney a "big goof" and it broke the otherwise perfect flow of the story for me) and I love how he realizes and obsesses over how fragile everything is, how the things he has no control over are the scariest of all. Rodney works in this. Like I said, I absolutely love the way you wrote him.
