Sometimes...

Sometimes there's crack. And then sometimes there's good crack.

And sometimes there's the special crack.

Sometimes crack comes along that's so special that you cannot encompass it.

Are we surprised that this crack is in SGA?

(They have Teyla singing like a hobbit. And this is SGA canon. So you realize the depths to which fanfic has to run to catch up.)

They went to the Asgard alien, Hymen or Hernia or whatever his name was. They didn't care, their minds were preoccupied with the matter at hand.

"Put our cocks back," John hissed threateningly. "It's awkward me having Rodney's cock and him having mine. It's probably against U.S. military policy."

pimpery! (SGA, Naruto, SG1, Grey's Anatomy, rareslash, links)

Those of ya'll who've read my journal for awhile should find this familiar...

::waves to new people:: here's the thing, I tend to pimp stuff like whoa, and I've been finding myself very distracted and distanced from fandom for a long time. In fact, it's really really hard for me to consider myself participating in fandom unless I'm pimping something. (For the past half-year or more this journal's felt like more of a blog than anything else, it felt highly *weird*)

But it's winter break now! ::GLEE:: And I have FREE TIME.

SGA fic (assume McKay/Sheppard unless stated otherwise)

Caffeinated by Frostfire - Wherein there is coffee and John Sheppard as Angelina Jolie. Reads like the warm burble of a percolator in the morning.

Wedding Day by sdraevn - Wherein Elizabeth wants to cry at a wedding and John and Rodney PANICS LIKE WHOA. There is a reception and a hilarious Ronon and *great* use of SG1. Reads like being drunk on a hella lot of high quality spiked egg-nog.

Charting The Motion Of Planets by dasha - Oh, this is just *neat*, it's Rodney's characterization done very interestingly in a high-pressure situation, definatly sometime pre-Epiphany but in a very specific way, ditto with John. Reads metallic, a muted shine.

Equilibrium by lyndac - Rodney watches with doubled-vision and wants. Reads like a breath held high in the throat.

Reality TV by Ruby101 - "The Ancients had excellent screen resolution, John thought darkly." ::gigglefit:: it is cute and delightful in all sorts of ways. Reads like a weekend morning. (and GOD I want that machine for vidding...)

Doctor/Patient Confidence by custardpringle (second part of harlequin challenge fic, first part linked to in the notes) - oh god, but this is beautiful, I love the first part for scratching my harlequin itch, I love the second part for how splendidly it connects the first part to a plausible AU. And just ::flails:: it hits all sorts of my AU hot!buttons. Reads like sleep-warm sheets and tumbling slowly awake.

And I Would Be by Brighid (season 1 spoilers) - great intertwining of two timelines for a view of John Sheppard, just lovely. Reads like chain-links and metallic lace.

Flush by Shaye (SPOILERS: Up through "Critical Mass" 2.13) - beautiful characterization all around which is remarkable for it being an ensemble fic, I smiled throughout reading this. Reads like puttering through a full kitchen, after the booze is passed out, in the bustle before dinner is served.

Other fic

Lieutenant Colonel Cameron Mitchell is the biggest fanboy in the UNIVERSE by Frostfire (SG1, unrequited Mitchell/TeamSG1) - It's fannishness and panic and denial and Mitchell being just a little screwed. ::gigglefit::

Love Songs and Ladies by maldoror_gw (Naruto, gen) - a princess fangirls Sasuke's ninja-ness to his consternation, hilarity ensues.

I Am Not That by lalejandra (Grey's Anatomy, Burke/Cristina, "Burke is asleep when Cristina wakes up.") - characterizations done awesome and just...eee. I am all happy and satisfied with pairing!love. =D

Untitled by lalejandra (Care Bears; non-con, incest, bdsm?) - read the fandom, read the warnings. If still intrigued, read ahead, but don't say I didn't warn you.

[]

Vids and Vidding

Moya's Ride by kazbaby - A Farscape vid, but you really don't need to know the source. Very awesome, very shivery, good use of internal motion and attention to mood.

vidding to drum machine tracks - vidding discussion. The vid that resulted from the discussion (by obsessive24) is found here.

Fannish Things

A Gift to Fandom: Doylist and Watsonian Explanations by fairestcat - useful terms when meta-ing. Myself, I find to be very much leaning on the side of the Watsonian.

cathexys has been gathering fic with interesting narrative structure. There's some really cool fic there!
