I like ely_jan's fic. Good recs.


Gabrielle

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

It was a good fic. Glad you enjoyed them.

[alizarin-nyc.livejournal.com]

Sheppard

Your Cowboy Days Are Over by M.
Sheppard, his son, and Teyla live on another planet, and it's all Sheppard's damn DNA's fault.

That was one of the best things I'd read in a long time and I'm happy to see it rec'ed here as well. Gorgeous.

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

Yes. It was a great read, and I spent all of Monday night reading it. It also made me cry, which never happens, especially story with that plot device.

[chrisleeoctaves.livejournal.com]

I love your recs...and I'm honoured that you've included me among them. *g*

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

Thank you and you're welcome. :)

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for reccing me.

And I'm bookmarking this because a lot of the BtVS stuff I haven't read, so yeah!

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

Glad that there's some stuff in there that you haven't read yet.

[mmmchelle.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the recs. And I'm thrilled you liked "Fell in Love with a Girl." Danvers is so good.

Which is why I'm reccing you some more of her fic:
"Sleepover" Sam/Vala http://svendra.com/fanfiction/sleepover.html

"Under the Skin" John/Rodney http://svendra.com/fanfiction/shorts/lj/skin.html
There aren't simply enough good words for this one. It's all about intimacy and trust, and two people trying to hang on and find a way to talk to one another.

"you don't have to be crazy to work here, but it helps"
Everyone
http://svendra.com/fanfiction/crazy.html
Plays with several of the best slash and fanfic tropes, starting with aliens making them do it.

I wanted to rec her "Five Ways John and Rodney Never Sumfink, Sumfink" stories, but I couldn't find them. I'll try and track them down for you because the SG-15 stories had me laughing so hard I nearly hurt myself. And "Heat" is a long, plotty John/Rodney AU. As a general rule I'm not that fond of SGA AUs, but this one is different.

Have you read Grrrl's "Unanticipated Outcomes" or "We All Arrive by Different Streets?" I recommend those as well. Both are John/Rodney. Just in case here are the URLs:
http://www.geocities.com/thegrrrl2002/atlantis/03/unanticipated.html
http://www.geocities.com/thegrrrl2002/atlantis/02/streets.html

I have lots more, but I'll stop there for now.

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

I'm always up for recs of things to read. So thanks for all the bookmarks. I've cued them into my del.icio.us "to be read" pile.

[zulu.livejournal.com]

Yay for recs! Some of these are excellent. I enjoyed the "Ways of Being Out On New Caprica" one, though I don't read much BSG fic. "Chit Chat", the untitled Anya/Tara, and "Talking About Feelings" were teh hot, and here I use 'teh' as a superlative. Hmm, "Sinned" and "A Study In Contrast" didn't quite meet my believability standards, but they were worth reading. In the latter case, especially: Rraowr. "Bird On A Wing" -- awww! Excellent, excellent. Well, now I must go and read more.

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

House fandom is weird in that most of their stories start out with the characters already being in relationships so there's none of that build up.

But I'm glad that you enjoyed the recs.

[selenak.livejournal.com]

*blushes*

Thanks for reccing me!

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. Keep writing. :)

[purple-cube.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much for the rec - I really wasn't happy with this fic, and only posted it because I knew that someone was expecting it for the ficathon, so I'm shocked that people actually like it! I haven't read much fic outside of SGA, but will definitely have a look at the stories from other fandoms that you've recced :)

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. Well, I enjoyed it.

Have fun reading the other stories. I also have many recs on my web site if you're interested.
