The sga_genficathon reveal post is up, so I can finally link to the story I wrote: Chipping StoneIt was my first time participating in the genficathon, and I have to admit that it was really difficult. Everything I've written up to this point has been ship-fic, in one way or another. Not writing sex is easy, but not writing relationships at all is hard. Some ( Read more... )

This is just a heads-up that sga_genficathon and sgareversebang are both currently in progress. Keeps your eyes peeled for new fic/art.

I haven't really had time to familiarize myself with the posted works yet, but my eyes were definitely drawn to the little kerfuffle sparked by this story. It begs the question, what is gen, really ( Read more... )

Initially, skieswideopen and I decided to run sg1_smooch and sga_smooch on a strict two week/three months schedule, but since this is November (month of NANO for some, month of bleakness and despair for others), we're making an exception and leaving the two comms open an extra week. This is in no way related to the fact that I still haven't finished the smooches I'm working on; it ( Read more... )

John Sheppard, he thought-and let the Other hear him think it-was what the humans would refer to as a wild card. Sheppard’s presence had the potential to change everything.

If you like Vegas!John and Todd, I really recommend Wait for the River by lears_daughter. It's gen, which can be seen as a pro or con depending on your stance on Sheppard/Todd ( Read more... )

Speaking of reading, have some SGA recs!

I've read a lot of fic this Christmas, and not all of it from sga_santa.

One new story that I really love is kristen999 and everybetty's Home is Where the Heart is. I don't think I'll ever get tired of stories that fix the mess TPTB left Atlantis and its people in at the end of Enemy at the Gate. :)

Under the Hood by grammarwoman is a light- ( Read more... )

I'll be going away for the weekend and won't be back until Monday.

Before I leave, have two recs; one new and one old.

New: Voyage of the Wraith Hunter by friendshipper. Post-series gen, with shades of John/Teyla. A believable (to me, at any rate) look at what could have happened after Atlantis was set down on earth.

Old: To Entangle So To Know by idyll. A ( Read more... )

Apparently I'm not the only one who puzzled over the crucifix that detective Sheppard was wearing. hasida offers some insight in Lonely Man of Faith, a short gen piece. I found it very touching.

bluflamingo posted Breaking Clouds, a sequel to her Gray Skies Surround Me. I just love the way she writes Vegas!John. He starts out so damaged in GSSM, but by BC, he's ( Read more... )

Refugees in Rivertown. This is written for the still ongoing genficathon, so the author's identity has yet to be revealed. It features one of my favourite things; an outsider's perspective on a team member. In this case, the story centers around a young slum-dweller, who one day finds a strange unconscious woman among the corpses she steals from. ( Read more... )
