Question...

[anyanka_eg]

...because my flist knows everything.

What do we know, as cannon, about John's parents? I've read so much fiction that it all blurs together. Can you help? It's for a fic where I don't want to contradict cannon, just add/spin it.

Uh. Nothing at all, I think. But maybe I just didn't pay attention, plus I haven't seen all of season 4 yet.

Oh, wait, I think he said somewhere in season one that his father was in the military. Or, or maybe his grandfather. Um.

Sorry. :(

His father is military. I know that. I think he was upset he joined the airforce...or did I make that bit up? Gah!

that's from fanon... there's a picture on his chest of drawers thingy in his room but i've never seen it clearly (i'm not a weird stalker or anything - i just remember noticing it in a scene t'other day)...

someone was saying in lavvyan's journal that maybe his bio on the website said his dad was a general, but it's definitely never been mentioned in the show...

i want to read that fic where he and rodney pretend to be a couple to annoy his dad now...

LOL, all right sarky ;P
actually i can't cause i'm at work - i'm supposed to be getting picked up but he got a flat tyre!

You mean the pic of Joe and Evil Kneivel?

[rasah.livejournal.com]

no way??? i never knew that! cool!
that also explains why allyndra said the other week that john would be gutted he'd (evil kneivel) died... ok, maybe the ulcer has moved to my brina and i've just lost all my marbles ;D

The fic where they pretend to be a couple is here http://kitt.livejournal.com/682937.html One of my faves

ooh, ta! i love that fic. can't wait to read yours now too! you've really whetted my appetite!
hope you are feeling a bit better now hun?

[anyanka-eg.livejournal.com]

I'm a bit better but still stressed from work. I thought my fic had arrived in my head fully formed, except it seems more patchy than I thought. Ho hum.

If you manage to finish your fic before Feb.2nd, his failed marriage and his statement in "Letters..." are everything we know.

The military father thing was in his scifi.com-bio, which is wrong. Joe M. said so.

[anyanka-eg.livejournal.com]

Damn. I'll do a quick re-write. Doesn't really matter though. I will finish the fic before feb (hopefully weekend). I'm actually, if there's a more info, willing to be spoiled. Can you drop me a message?

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

No, I really think he said something about one of them being a general. In season one. Somewhere.

Or probably not, but I'm at least 80% sure.
