For those interested in Stargate Atlantis but don't want to write McShep or give our guys a happy ending, there's a place for that too.

You can find more info about that Here

There's also a Romancing SG-1 and you can find more info about it Here

How Did the Fandom Snowflake Challenge Go?



It went well. I had to stretch my moodboard muscles. I reached out to (new to me) snowflakers and some of them reached back. Very CooL.

I'm glad I took part, and I'm looking forward to next year.

In your own space, create a promo and/or rec list for someone new to a fandom

I've been in the Stargate Atlantis fandom since the beginning. I can't think of or come up with a better promo for my favorite OTP than the one done by Aja many moons ago

1. and then, randomly, there was a McShep Primer on your list

(LJ link https://bookshop.livejournal.com/958654.html)


Continuing on that theme...

2. Objectifying Rodney McKay (/David Hewlett): A Picspam

3. Objectifying John Sheppard (/Joe Flanigan): A Picspam

And if that's not enough. This pairing lends itself to crack AU's that leave me with a smile on my face.

4. The Epic Tale of Rodney & John, Two Girl Scout Cookies in Love

Snowflake Challenge: A warmly light quaint street of shops at night with heavy snow falling.

Talk about a community space you like

Well, there's more than one of those.

First to mind is SGA_Saturday A lot of Stargate Atlantis communities have fallen by the wayside as the years have passed. This community, with its monthly prompts has kept the light burning.

Whatif_au This is a fun, mulitfandom community. I suspect it's light touch and dash of charm has a lot to do with it's mod and creator [personal profile] brumeier. *Great work, hon*

This site Unconventionalcourtship is an annual, multifandom challenge that was made for my heart.

So I posted my Star Trek fic: Maybe He's Born With It (Maybe It's GlaxosEpsilonYor)!!

Going by file dates I started that one in 2020, so compared to all my other wips, it was relatively new. It took a lot of writing to finish because when I started it was really just a couple of paragraphs and then five handwritten pages. I quickly had a first draft, but it needed a lot of editing to connect the themes and refine Jim's voice. It's at the very start of his career as a captain and he's still a hot bro-y mess, and even though I found myself resisting his self-centeredness, I needed his actions to reflect that selfishness, and I think I hit a good balance of bro and personal growth. He can be taught! Spock, of course, is perfect. No notes.

Next up in my endless list of neglected WIPs: It should be my Pinto fic—which, as I recall, is all but done except for the last lines, fuck you, last lines—but instead, it's the G-rated Stargate Atlantis [community profile] kink_bingo non-sexual knifeplay fic about an extinct Satedan fruit. I gotta be me.

Looks like I last opened this in 2011 and it's basically complete. Let's gooooo.

Challenge #12

Make an appreciation post to those who enhance your fandom life.


Fandom has taken me from lurking to full-on participating. It's given me life-time friends, a place to express my ideas, and comfort reads when I needed them.

I've traveled places I never would have otherwise. It's broadened my perspective, kept me informed, and made me laugh.

Here's to you, Fandom



Fandom Thank you Moodboard
