“Five Things” fic is one of my favourite formats for several reasons. One, because it’s versatile; two, because it produces some amazing, really focused fic; three, because I love it when you get to the ‘and one time the opposite’ part at the end, where the build-up of the previous parts pays off ( Read more... )

Those of you who were around at this time last year or the year before will probably remember our summer reccing challenges. May's challenge is to make a Top Ten list. For instance: "Top Ten Aliens Made Them Do It Stargate Atlantis Fics," "Top Ten Due South AU Fics," "Top Ten Buffy Gen Fics," "Top Ten Bandom College AUs" etc. To get a feeling ( Read more... )

Argh. This is what happens when I go signup-happy during finals week and pick a deadline that's the week after graduation. I completely forget that I have recs to be posting!

Mea maxima culpa! Hope the recs will help:

This is a very small fandom, but there are some really great fics in it. These are what I’ve found to stand out as some of the top fics in this fandom. Using the term coined recently these two are the ultimate ‘bromance.’ If you’ve ever seen the show you could see the possibility of these two sneaking away if ever given the opportunity.

Or the original title if you're interested (and of course you are): What Were They On (And Where Can We Get Some?): Top Ten Mckay/Sheppard Crack FicsBlessed with some of the most creative fans I’ve ever befriended, it’s no wonder the SGA fandom simply excels at crack. Writing an in-character fic can be a challenge, even more so when you turn the ( Read more... )

I was a huge fan of Veronica Mars during seasons 1 & 2, but was never sure how I felt about Logan Echolls. He was a jerk…he’s loyal…he’s racist(?)…his inspirational quotes of the day made me laugh…I can’t see a yellow XTerra without thinking of him. And I realize that, while he considered them “epic,” I don’t think he’s any good with Veronica. So ( Read more... )

As I said in my earlier post, I used to be quite sceptical about AUs but popslash taught me to love them so I was VERY happy to discover that bandslash also has a large amount of well-written and well-crafted AUs. So large in fact that it was almost impossible to just pick ten stories to rec! In the end I'd to be very stern with myself and even so ( Read more... )

I have seen a grand total of one episode of Supernatural (3x01), but it’s difficult to be on LiveJournal and not come across the (very prolific and passionate) fandom. Perhaps it’s because I watch Friday Night Lights and found out the actress who plays Tyra was Jessica Moore, but somehow I started reading the Sam/Jess fics I could find…and ( Read more... )

I had planned to do a top ten of SGA fics that cause uncontrollable laughter no matter how many times I've reread them, but discovered that it was too broad of a category.  I've decided to narrow it down to fics that also have documents such as letters, emails, pamphlets, webpages, mission reports, etc.  Though actually this is more of a ten of ( Read more... )
