Hi there! Hope y'all had a great holiday and are having some success with those new year's resolutions. We've picked the first story we'll be reading in the bookclub:
Freedom's Just Another Word For Nothing Left To Lose by
synecdochic We thought this would be appropriate for our first discussion given the time of year. This 2006 SGA story is gen and told from Rodney's POV set in the future after Atlantis. To warn those who want to know, although the content is strictly gen, there are a few passing mentions of non-canon slash and het pairings.
Even if you haven't read this story before, you've probably heard of it. I urge you to read it again even if you read it back then so that's it's fresh for you to reference in the discussion.
To enhance your reading experience and the discussion, please check out the author's excellent
dvd commentary to hear her take on what she wrote. If you're interested, there is also a sequel of sorts,
and the band's playing, "hail to the chief" Feel free to read at your own pace and respond to this post with your thoughts on the story. We will start you off with a few discussion points.
