Why this must be read: SGA does crack with the best of them. Project Runway is crack. Put the two together, mix well under the fine hand of sheafrotherdon, and this delightful, wicked fusion takes it to another level. While everyone remains very much in character, the author carefully, deliciously bends them just so, then drops them into the pressure cooker of reality TV. Fun, insightful, and full of teamy goodness, this romp through the fashion world will leave you breathless with laughter.


When John Sheppard applies for season six of Project Runway, it's mostly because he's bored. Eight months out of the military – discharged for giving a blowjob in what turned out to be the textbook definition of the wrong place at the wrong time – he spends his hours working the most unpopular shifts at Wordsmith, the bookstore around the corner from his apartment, and finding out what happens when he sews together clashing fabrics at weird angles, just because he can. The urge to make clothes is something he never saw coming, but if he adds it to the list of things about his life that are surely driving his father crazy (California, hourly wage, manic espresso habit, shit-hole loft) it's maybe not so far out of left field. Sure, he's forty-one, and supposed to be past scoring points off his father's discomfort, but Patrick Sheppard's a son-of-a-bitch and John's okay with the fact that he never progressed (emotionally) past the age of thirteen.

Plus he's a badass with a pair of pinking shears.

I do try to feed authors, & artists--why else would they contintue to provide the best drugs that money can't buy such wonderful fanfic & art! Oddly enough I happened to re-read JSGTSPR just within the last week, so I clearly remembered how I had enjoyed finding it the first time. :-)

Terrific! Yes, feedback is the coin of the realm hereabouts, and when a story sticks with you, it's so much fun to pimp it out rec it so the author will know how much it's enjoyed. :)
