a list!

[unamaga]

• Earlier today, I had a sudden epiphany, wherein I realized that someone on my flist was actually the same someone whose icon journal I have regularly fangirled from afar since joining SGA fandom, and that I have comment-threaded with her more than once. Wow do I feel like a lucky idiot! \o/
  
  
• When any Jules and I interact - be it kashmir1 or schneestern - the conversation always seems to end in absolute crack. We should probably stop talking for the sake of fandom, because just the other day, the two of them plotted to make me manip Rodney into a belly dancer (I was helpless to resist! Helpless! schneestern was physically there to tickle me into submission!). I'm afraid to actually put that one on the interwebs, which is saying something for me. And now this:
  
  

  Mel: aahaaaahahah, i am so stuck on the idea of rodney shaking his ass to my humps
  Julie: ahah omg ME TOO
  Julie: its pretty much my personal canon now lol
  Mel: i feel so guilty listening to it, i always check to make sure the house is empty first, BUT GOD IT IS SO AMAZING TO IMAGINE
  Julie: IT REALLY IS
  Julie: especially b/c i picture him in the shower, with his hair in a shampoo mohawk, singing into a bottle
  Mel: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
  Mel: OH RODNEY
  Julie: and john catches him. of course
  Mel: OF COURSE
  Mel: and he laughs himself down to the floor
  Julie: MAH HUMPS ahahaha oh my god
  Julie: should not amuse me so

  
  
• Speaking of fic, someone needs to steer me kindly away from the computer. I have four word documents open: the Shrek AU (in which Rodney is a princess, cursed so that she turns into a man once the sun sets), the Stars of Track and Field sequel (meet Ronon!), tentative Lorne POV fic, and The One Where They Turn Into Stuffed Animals (see icon). How have I not been kicked out of fandom yet? No, really.
  
  
• I'm putting together an "Essentials" recs post for schneestern, because a fair number my sentences this vacation started with the words, "You ever read that fic where..." and, a fair number of times, she hadn't. So, what do you consider an essential read in SGA fandom? Besides, you know, Written by the Victors. We all but jumped on her back when she told us she hadn't read it; I think she got the idea.

Hey, even I know what Written By The Victors is. Haven't read it because I don't read SGA fic but, I've HEARD about it at least and I even know who wrote it :-p

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

It is EPIC. I am so not surprised that it transcends fandomly barriers. <3

How have I not been kicked out of fandom yet? No, really.

BECAUSE IF SOMEONE TRIED I WOULD CRY.

*cough* So, these aus will see light of day, yes?

I have no links but:

Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead by Ces

Kid A by Ces

Okay, anything by Ces

A Beautiful Lifetime Event by Astolat (okay, everything of hers too)

Um. http://yearningvoid.net/stories/julad/000086.html Thicker Than Water.

There's more. gotta be.

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

(HI THERE YOU! *smooch*)

I love how in SGA there aren't stories that you need to read, really, there are authors, and people regularly admit to having cravings and going back to devour the entire author's website whole. *heart grows three sizes*

[amberlynne.livejournal.com]

I love you guys *because* of your crack. Plz never for to change!

And if I had to pick just *one* story? I would have to say that Bell Curve (http://glitterati.talkoncorners.net/fiction/bellcurve/bellcurve.html) (and it's sequels) is the one that I would make sure everyone read.

But if you asked me again in ten minutes, it would be something by sheafrotherdon or Ses or, you know, Bootylicious. ;)

*has not read "Written For The Victors" yet* *runs to hide*

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

[grammarwoman]

Well, the authors I love (would recommend anything that they write) include:

sheafrotherdon ("A Farm in Iowa" AU especially)
and her partners in crime tx_tart, dogeared, and aesc for the Nantucket AU wagoneer
seperis ("Story of a Girl" in particular)
fiercelydreamed ("Unidentified" is KILLER.)
rageprufrock's collection here. ("Bell Curve" -- wow.)
synecdochic and ivorygates (though they write mostly in SG-1, still fabulous reading nonetheless)

The massive story of RPS-meets-SGA in fic_of_doom

OK, I seem to have an AU thing. But still!


Elsewise, I would LOVE to read another "Stars of Track and Field" installment.

[grammarwoman]

Man, I'm slow. I take forever to construct my list, and you guys go and scoop me. *sigh*

Still, I stand by my entries. *firm nod*

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

Eeee, I love ALL OF THESE PEOPLE. *draws hearts*

[sheafrotherdon.livejournal.com]

You are a doll! Thank you for the rec! (btw, it's siriaeve who co-writes Nantucket, not tx_tart) ♥

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

Believe me, in this fandom, you can write whatever crack you want. They'll never kick you out.

[hebrew-hernia.livejournal.com]

Um, Iowa and Nantucket, to start. Really, I think it's easier to rec authors. sheafrotherdon, cesperanza (my faves are Benched and 3 Lovers, and obviously Victors, and Denver, holy shit she has written a lot), siriaeve, resonant8, aesc, lamardeuse. A lot of them have websites linked to their journals. A Supermarket in California (http://taffetablue.livejournal.com/10542.html). Broadcast Signal (http://seperis.livejournal.com/378157.html). How We Operate (http://ladyflowdi.livejournal.com/390724.html), which is OT4. 39+ (http://community.livejournal.com/fire_fiction/10507.html), which is part of that series where the aliens are like "you have to kiss 40 times" and McKay and Sheppard, like, make out, and then the aliens just kiss on the cheeks (the rest are linked on that page). the one where aliens make Rodney do it with everyone but John (http://sardonicsmiley.livejournal.com/36512.html), which is actually the title of the story.

Oh, AND: what's the one with the make-out pollen? And the one where John is squeamish about rimming, and then they go to the planet with the rimming temple? I just read that one a couple of days ago, but I think I forgot to memory it. Damn.

AND probably everything that won a McKay/Sheppard Award (http://www.mcshepawards.com/page.php?59), although I can't claim to have read all of them.

Also, never stop writing the crack. EVER. SPEAKING OF WHICH: The one where they get captured and Rodney pushes John back through the gate but doesn't go, because the aliens plugged him into the chair, and put a thing in him that would blow up if he went through the gate!

I may actually have started writing a little McShep ficlet the other night, but I'm afraid to try to finish it, let alone post it. There's too much amazing fic in this fandom. I'm scared.

Benched (http://www.trickster.org/speranza/cesper/Benched.html), right? A total must.

[kashmir1.livejournal.com]

*CACKLES*

I don't think you can get thrown out of SGA fandom for crack. Really. ;)

AAAAAAAAAND. I can't think of any other fics besides the Farm In Iowa AU, Written By The Victors, Freedom's Just Another Word and the Bell Curve 'Verse.

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

I think I've finally found my home, Julie. *swoon*

[pushingyouaway.livejournal.com]

oh miss mel. you so crazy *snuggles*


your crack is the best =D



*cake*

[gaffsie.livejournal.com]

Don't forget toft_froggy! Second Skin (http://toft-froggy.livejournal.com/162512.html) is the only transvestite story you'll ever need. So good. Not to mention String Theory (http://toft-froggy.livejournal.com/190025.html), the seriously amazing orchestra AU.

Oh oh oh, and check out frostfire_17 and trinityofone and eleveninches and ltlj and, and - *passes out*

SGA really has an extraordinary large amount of talented people writing for it. :)

[trinity_clare]

STRING THEORY. (I second that rec, in case it wasn't obvious.)

[kimberlyfdr.livejournal.com]

I kept trying to come up with essential SGA fics, but the list got too long :P Plus, there's a whooooooole lotta crackfic on my list, too. I love this fandom for serious!

[liamar13.livejournal.com]

ooh for entertaining crack how about lavvyan. seriously there is the Greenhouse AU where rodney and john are flowers and its still so very good. or how about the one where john may or may not be a sex bot: Male Enhancement which is not only gold in and of itself but has inspired awesome!fic from others. oh why not just read everything, not just the crack but the angst and the love and the wonderfulness: her fic index. go, read, be merry.

AHAHAHA

[tardis80.livejournal.com]

John: whatcha gonna do with all that ass, all that ass inside your jeans?
Rodney: I'm gonna make make make make you scream, make you scream, make you SCREAM

I shall love you forever for that image alone♥ It's SO HILARIOUS but kinda hot, too.

Also, you aren't the only one who's thought of bellydancing!Rodney :D

crack is our profession

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

[hebrew-hernia.livejournal.com]

OH HEY do you know the one where Rodney can read people's minds? And Elizabeth lays down the ground rules, and the only person he can be normal with is Radek but then he says something about Radek's thing for Elizabeth but then he apologizes and Radek gets over it? Also there is McShepping obviously. Hopefully I have it in my memories...

[incidental-fire.livejournal.com]

That's Face Value (http://minnow1212.livejournal.com/209075.html), by Minnow. Which is totally 20 kinds of awesome!

[sobelle.livejournal.com]

OMG! that is painfully disturbingly funny...

I sent many thanks last evening for your deliriously crackworthy manip...

(but LJ musta et it)

So, adulation follows now...

::bows:: we're not worthy ::bows::

[trinity_clare]

Everything at fiercelydreamed (fic journal of the_drifter, especially Rebuilding Babel (the one where Rodney gets brain damaged and forgets how to talk), and Unidentified (total AU with a side of amnesia). Everything by Shalott and Speranza. All the collective AUs of sheafrotherdon, aesc, siriaeve, and dogeared, whose names I'm too lazy to code. (Also everything by you and both Juleses, but that goes without saying.) Um, everything from the sga_flashfic harlequin challenge. Actually, just go through the tags at flashfic and pick the themes you like. The Pegasus Tinies!

AND FOR GOD'S SAKE YOU'RE NOT IN FANDOM UNTIL YOU'VE READ FREEDOM'S JUST ANOTHER WORD. I seriously, honest to god, was forced to read that fic before I did ANYTHING ELSE, and that included watching the show. I read it with no knowledge of canon or anything.

ETA: I forgot scribblinlenore and minnow1212!

[aurora]

Oh man, this is such a great collection of writers. I'm trying to think who else belongs on that list. lilysaid, thegrrrl2002, mmmchelle, thingswithwings, franticsga, cottontail, torakowalski, 01100100/danvers, purna, solvent90, argosy, runpunkrun, toomuchplor, crysothemis, mirabile_dictu, semivowel.

Okay, I'll stop now (because, seriously, I can keep going. Oh, SGA, fandom, I love you so!)
