Hey, if "your" author called John "John" she got it at least half right.
Yes "McKay" without putting the "Doctor" in front of it rings either angry/annoyed (John does this) or ... just like Ronon. *ggg*
Using your partners surname (or rank/title) during sex - hmm, depends on what kind of kinky scene it is. ;-) But if one actually uses the surname of one's partner during sex then it's usually something hard and fast in an alley behind a seedy bar between people who are not in romantic relationship, I would guess.
Re: the choice of a beta - yes, I always wondered why bother with a beta at all, if you don't want somebody who is actually able to point out flaws/mistakes for the sake of the story. Granted, I see how opinions can differ on characterization issues, but things that are clearly visible/audible in the episodes, that should be easy to fix.
And I'm still hopping around in search of a better story. Any recs? *ggg*
