Roundup for April

Wheee! It's been a while since I've done one of these as I've been out of the reccing and writing loop for a bit.

*gratuitously steals formatting from Abyssis*

Fic I done recced:

I grabbed the humor category this time around at < lj comm="stargateficrec"> and, wheeeee! did I have fun digging out all of those picfics from my bookmarks. In fact I only managed to rec 4, so I've got the category again for this month. :D

The Elephant in the Corner by the ever loverly [livejournal.com profile] pepper_field (who also had a birthday!)
Stick!figures, Vala and Jack evil plotting! Cam and a bag o' macaroons!

Stargate SG-1 Screw: Episode 2 by Eugeal
SG-1 as nuts and bolts! Pure crack, this one.

Final Images by [livejournal.com profile] astridv
Intrepid MALP's and their deaths!

The Pegasus Tinies by [livejournal.com profile] argosy and [livejournal.com profile] _kiden
SGA Edmund Gorey style!

Fic I done wrote:

Heee! I was productive this month and wrote 2 fics and changed mah layout:

That Inverted Bowl We Call the Sky | (PG) | 1807 words
Shau'ri, Pre-Series, Shauri/Daniel

I'd been thinking a lot about Abydos and Shau'ri, and after many rewrites this fic managed coalesce around the idea of holding on to what you have.

Press Four To Save | (G) | 1775 words
Classic Team, humor

Hehe, [livejournal.com profile] beanpot sparked this leetle crack!fic from me, with her saga of the garbled phone message left by the hawt Frenchman. I have missed just dashing off this kind of writing :D

Fic I done read:

The Hidden Lore of the Old Ocean by [livejournal.com profile] havocthecat (PG-13)
Teyla Emmagan/Elizabeth Weir, John Sheppard/Elizabeth Weir

I really loved this fic. It hit all of my atmospheric buttons and has this fragmentary descent into treading right along the edge of horror. Great Lovecraftian overtones and a Teyla that has a genuinely Alien feel to her.

The Rites of Hedona by [livejournal.com profile] surreallis (R)
AMTDI, Het, Sam/Daniel

A re-read :D But one that I hadn't read in a loooong time. And it was just as awesome as I remembered it. To me, this fic is my ultimate AMTDI scenario that acknowledges the awkwardness and fear of consequences, but turns it into something other that just a porny interlude. It's thinky and well characterised and also rather hot as well.

Family Recipes by [livejournal.com profile] beanpot (G)
Cam, Gran'ma Mitchell

Now, I've still not yet managed to see Line in the Sand and somehow got it into my head that Cam's Grandmother was an integral part to this episode and thus didn't read this fic when it was first written! Hehehe!! But it's a really delightful interlude with the kind of 'genteel with a backbone of steel' matriarch that I love to think heads the Mitchell clan.
