badfic summary: Stargate Atlantis slavefic!

.
OMG, best/worst story summary I've come across in a long time. It's not simply badly spelled, because that would be easy to dismiss. It's cavalier! It's cruel! It's needy! I'm not linking to the story because that would just be cruel ... to you, the potential readers. I read the first couple of pages, and it is worse than it sounds.
Notes: There are dark themes in this, but the violence and nastiness mainly happens off-stage. John owns Rodney, who disgraced himself five years ago and nearly caused the deaths of members of SG1. Rodney has been a slave belonging to the International Committee that runs the SGC for five years and has never known the security and protection of having an actual owner.

I’m an Atlantis fan rather than SG1, so I have played around with the history and I’m told that Jack is a little OOC – it’s an AU, so he’s going to behave the way I see fit! Anyway, he’s not important!

This is about recovery and not about dystopia-style world-building – slavery exists in this world and there’s no real effort to change that – besides, they’re all off to Atlantis!

My plan is to post what I’ve got in lj-sized chunks and then to add to it as I work through re-watching the Seasons.

This has been read and beta’d by my brother and, most especially, by the great and glorious [name].

Please be gentle with me as I have never posted anything quite like this before, but I really, really want to know if you like it or not!
I'm not gentle with the people I know and love - I don't think I'm capable of being gentle with a stranger I pity and scorn.

p.s. Thanks to [personal profile] cimorene for inspiring me by posting her own collections of badfic headers and summaries!

...wow. See. Um. I'm all for slavefic. Obviously! I mean, it makes me HAPPY. And admittedly, we don't world build nearly as much as Kat and Vicky do when they get going. But... Um.

I am officially not sure that I could read that. ^_~
