Hero for a New Age by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

gen; PG; characters: Ronon Dex, Rodney McKay, Atlantis cast; 11,600 words
Terrific friendship fic with spot-on voices. Ronon and Rodney bonding over Superhero comics: While Ronon gets caught up on Batman & Co, we in turn get to see glimpses of Satedan culture and tales. I usually don't have that much interest in superhero lore but it's the absolutely perfect angle here!
Figurative Hell And Literal High Water bytipper_green
Characters: Keller, Rodney, Teyla, Sheppard, Ronon
Spoilers: Missing (this takes place after Missing but before This Mortal Coil).
gen (with a teensy hint of Rodney/Jennifer UST); PG; 36,000 words; written forsga_genficathon
Summary: Rodney's desperate to save his team, and Keller's just trying to keep up, on a planet where hurricanes can last for days.
why rec'd: A descriptive and action-filled adventure story with a fantastic Keller POV that does the character justice. She gets a chance to shine in this one, with nature throwing obstacle after obstacle at them, and Sheppard's team lying injured (really well-written h/c, too). It's much fun to see Rodney and Jennifer play off each other.
This fic put me in a happy mood and left me with a yen for more Keller-centric fic.
btw and speaking of Keller, is there an LJ feed for Jewel Staite's blog?
Yesterday I finished sketching the first 20 pages of the new project. (gulp). 6 pages left, plus the cover. I had hoped to sketch it all in one go, but this is a good point to take a short break. The topic is interesting, even more so since I haven't covered it before. A lot of kids' books tend to revolve around recurring classic topics and and while I love illustrating stories about medieval knights or Native Americans, it's neat to do something off the beaten track. I'm pretty happy with how the first set of pages turned out; hope the editor will like the direction I took it. *bites nails & crosses fingers*
Anyway, a day off will maybe translate into one more page of comic. Maybe. Yes. Provided I can find my sketch pad in the stacks of papers. I guess I should start the day by bringing a little order into this chaos.
random linkage for the day: Google in Klingon

I extended my lunch break
with an houra wee bit today to read the humor gen. Hi-la-ri-ous! God, I wish I could write like that.My weekly rec for
no subject
Enjoy :) (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_genficathon/8360.html)
but I find the 'why this must be read' part so difficult.
ME TOO! Heck, I've been reccing fic for years, and that part just doesn't get any easier. Sometimes when a fic comes with a really expressive title or summary, I just use that and let it speak for itself. Or find a handy quote, even better. But of course the recs comms need the why this must be read part. And it's really darn tricky to write something up that's concise and non-rambly and still does the awesomeness of the story justice.
