_"Always Ready" - inside SGA 4:15 "Outcast"_


Ronon walked directly to Rodney's room. "You goin' with him?" he asked
bluntly.

"With him? Who? Where?"

"Sheppard. His father died. Heart attack. He's gonna go back to earth
for the ceremony, right? You goin' with him, or should I?"

"Oh my God, his father died? I - I'll go. I'll talk to Carter. Oh my
God. I can't. The kids planet, the kids - I'll talk to Carter."

"You can't go, let me know, I'll go."

"Yes, yes," Rodney said, distracted. "Of course, John, John. He, he'll
need someone there, with him. I'll talk to Carter right now, but -" He
looked up at Ronon. " - be ready."

"I'm always ready."

Rodney smiled. "Yeah, you so are."

Does this look right? Am I nuts or does this look absurd! Please help!
Love, max

Coding issues or not, you've got Ronon's voice down pat!

Everything *before* FICLET, or after???

Shea, deltacephei gave me a format to use - and I even managed to find out the answer to my question of *where* to post the damn thing to, but coding (forever, it seems) eludes me! HELP!
Love and thanks, max

I just don't see why I need the coding at all???!!!

I mean, if I write a post and put some of it under the LJcut, I don't code the stuff on top (before the LJcut), I just type it in. So why can't I just type in the information about the title, author, episode and type, category, rating, pairing, warning, word count, etc., before the cut, and then put the actual fiction inside the cut! Then that part would show up on the "linked" page. Or I could put the entire Title, author, episode and type, category, etc., stuff, *within* the LJcut, and just put an introductory sentence before the cut....

Why is this so complicated??? Why am I so dumb!??

Thanks again, love, max

I like drabbles and i think it takes a lot of talent to really get down to the point and in such a small amount of words.

But you did a fantastic job.

Nicely done!

I'm so glad you posted this here!

but did you edit it? It seems a little different from what I read in your journal.

Nice episode tag!

Does this look right?

Looks fine to me now, Max. (Hey, it only took me two weeks to figure out formatting and after six months I'm still googling HTML codes). *laughs*

Loved the ficlet. When I was watching it never occurred to me that Rodney asked Ronon to go with Sheppard, but it makes perfect sense.

Just what I needed after rewatching the ep.
