I've had some things hanging around for a long time that I've meant to rec but never got around to it.

Doctor Who:
2000 years of boredom, or how Rory Williams made some friends by puppetdumbly - I don't read much Doctor Who fic, but I lurked on dwsanta this year and stumbled across this little gem about what Rory did during his 2000 years of solitude. It's awesome ( Read more... )

I just rec'd this at stargategenrec, but I wanted to mention it here as well - if you like teamfic and AUs, there's a must-read one for you: Bright Wings and the sequel that was just posted, Bright City on Dark Waters, by snarkydame. The SGA team are technology scavengers ("Sheppard's Salvage") in a steampunk-ish Atlantis, making their living by diving to recover the ( Read more... )

Over the last few days I've read through the archives of Freakangels, and now I have to wait for new installments with the rest of the world (woe!). Twelve psychically gifted teenagers cause the end of the world ... we've all heard this one before. But the story begins six years later, when they're trying to atone for their actions by picking up ( Read more... )

Signups at sga_genficathon have been closed! I will be sending out assignments this weekend.

And purimgifts is live! Here are links to fic, fic, fic! There will be new rounds of fic reveals for the next two days as well. See if you can guess which ones I wrote. :) My first (of three) gift fics is the first part of a Leverage/Dresden Files crossover (yes, really!) that ( Read more... )

As I've mentioned occasionally, I really love stories about messy, complicated, unhappy relationships -- I don't think I'd want a steady diet of them, but it's rare in fandom to get stories in fandom that treat romance as the kind of messy, easily breakable thing that it is in real life, and I'm always delighted to stumble across them ( Read more... )

I just read a really neat John/Rodney fic over at sga_santa: Never Quite What You Expect by propinquitine (PG, 7400 wds). I really adore how this story takes a number of fandom cliches (from aliens-made-them-do-it to drunken sex to evil exes to matchmaking) and turns them on their head to substitute the much more prosaic, and likely, alternatives. I am not a big romance ( Read more... )

First off, I wrote this small Whaleverse ficlet for naye (G, 1300 words, John/Rodney plus team and, of course, whales). THE CRACK, IT JUST WILL NOT STOP.

rheanna27 recorded my story Between the Lines as a podfic; here is the post at her journal with all relevant download information. If you like it, let her know how awesome she is! :D ( Read more... )

*uploads* \o/ (Note: It is not short.)

*scampers off to find more prompts to write*

Aside from that - and waiting for the archive to go live - I've run a few errands and now I'm curled up with Internet and fic and Stephen King's Under the Dome waiting for me later.

I just read Cakewalk over at sga_santa (gen, 4200 wds, anon.) and absolutely loved it to ( Read more... )

The Magical Number Seven (Plus or Minus Two) by general_jinjur - (gen, 61K words)

This story was just ... wow. I think it's assumed its place with my very favorite novel-length fanfic in this fandom. It involves two twists of canon: "Tabula Rasa" (they don't get their memories back and have to reinvent themselves and their place in the galaxy) and "This Mortal ( Read more... )

... scraped together from my reading over the last week or two.

I just read this today while I ate dinner: The Dinosaur and the Dragon Lady. This isn't fanfic, but a free online novella, and it's really wonderful -- given the title and the fact that I'm reccing this to a bunch of sci-fi nerds *g*, I should point out that there are neither ( Read more... )
