My computer chose today to break down. Which is actually exceptionally good timing as I'd finally finished the last bits of my jobs yesterday. Anyway, I think I managed to ruin the coolers in just over a year. At least I hope it's the coolers. I was about to back up my data when it shut off again, so I gave up on that and brought it to the shop.The most recent back-up must've been months ago *slaps self* so right now I haven't got my bookmarks or my notes. Not to mention Photoshop. Or Word. Or a TV picture. But, I got my trusty laptop, and I got internet access, and the thing's even got a DVD player, so all is good.

fic recs:
Yes Sir, That's My Baby
Sam/Rodney; SG1/SGA; PG-13; 6313 words
Spoilers: No spoilers past the end of season three Atlantis, season ten SG1. Specific references to events in 'The Road Not Taken' and 'Unending'.
Summary: She's pregnant, and it's complicated.

I don't exactly seek out babyfic. In fact, putting the word "baby" in a summary is a safe way to make me back off slowly and shut the window. But I adore McKay/Carter so I checked this one out, and I really liked it. It's cute, it's fluff, the dialog is really on and, yeah... this one's fun, I enjoyed it. I also like the basic idea a lot.
snippet: His face had been falling rapidly as she spoke and he suddenly blurted out, "I hate children!"

"Okay," she replied dubiously.

"They're tiny," he said, "And weird. And you can't employ anything approaching logic with them. I mean, this one's all right so far, but the fact that she represents some sort of legacy which, unlike my life's work, I have absolutely no control over but that people will look at and for some reason associate with me - frankly, it's incredibly disturbing. What if she likes loud, popular music, or ponies, or... other children?"

I've been wanting to rec some genfic over at [livejournal.com profile] stargategenrec. Going through their tags it looks like they already got a lot of my faves listed, unsurprisingly. I have to dig through my fic printouts, I'm sure there must be something gen to rec in there. (Weirdly, upon closer look I noticed that a lot of the stories I mentally stored away as 'gen' do have shipping of some sort or other in it, just not as the main focus.)
