Why This Must Be Read: Rodney is incredibly broken in this story, and there is little that John can do about it. It's a great portrait of an abused character ( Read more... )

I thought for my last story selection, I'd go with some very hot stories: languid stories, sultry stories, and stories about physical--not necessarily sexual--heat. (Of course, some of them are pure sex. *g*)

SG1
Time by Mandalee ( Read more... )

Think of these stories as paperback book, with a black cover and skeletal trees on the cover. On the right upper corner is the full moon, casting an eerie silver, shadow over everything. The book smells slightly stale, the way they do when you pick them up in a used bookstore and the book has been hanging out there for a while. So grab some tea or ( Read more... )

Last month, I was asked in my LJ about coming of age stories, so I thought I'd start off the month with that theme.

Why this must be read:

"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) stories are one of the staples of SGA fan fiction, setting up a story conflict that's a bit like pre-packaged cake mix: just add eggs and water. But Scenes from a Lesser War is more like baking a cake from scratch, and ( Read more... )

Why this must be read:This story combines a homage to the humor and adventure plots of B-movies with the Atlantis characters, making a few slight twists along the way, such as Zelenka as the lead scientist. John is a ( Read more... )
