( Hi LJ, I'm still here )

Eh, what's with the sudden outburst of Kellerhate on the story/genrefinders comms? I thought by getting rid of mckay_sheppard I finally filtered that stuff out. Maybe just coincidence. I hope... those are comms I definitely don't want to defriend; I'm getting way too much entertainment out of them. But man, when I read storyfinders I expect to see something like "I'm looking for this fic," not "My thoughts on Keller, let me show you them." I really, really, don't care to hear them. :P

My brain's too mushy to write a decent fic rec (no headache though, yay :). But to up the value of this post, a quick linkage (via monanotlisa):Vampires and the Women Who Love Them by st_salieri -- What would happen if Buffy Summers, Bella Swan and Sookie Stackhouse sat down for a little chat with an inquisitive talk show host?

fic recs: Indelible / Spirits of the Dead (SGA)

fic recs:
Indelible by shaenie
McKay/Sheppard; NC-17; 129,000 words (yes, very very long. And so worth it, every word of it!)
Summary: John has a useful gift for compartmentalization: he discards the irrelevant and moves on. Then Rodney makes an ill-considered move on a mission, John steps up to take responsibility for making reparations to the locals, and things take a turn for the complicated as Rodney, an alien society, and an armada of ships make standard operating procedure completely impossible.

This story is epic, one of the very best fics I read last year. Excellent, original plot that makes the most not just of the characters but of Atlantis itself; an intensely deep John POV that's always spot on; an OC who makes a very interesting addition to the cast and blends like she always belonged... simply fantastic.

Spirits of the Dead by kodiak_bear
Gen; PG-13; Characters: Sheppard, team, Lorne, OCs; h/c; Spoilers through S5 Whispers; 28,000 + words

Good plotfic with a fascinating look into Pegasus culture, one the show doesn't offer: the Hoffan plague rages through the galaxy, and the people hit by it do what they must to survive.

Over at halfamoon, a fourteen day challenge celebrating female characters in fandom, they got The Unpopular Woman Love Post -- there's a thread for sharing the Jennifer Keller love (and, fic recs and the like...)
eta: some fans are somehow mistaking "sharing the love" with "airing the grievances" (which at this point doesn't even surprise me any more). So, y'know... beware of a bit of anti-squee even in that post. (so rude...)
