Ah, so rare, so beautiful...

... a Stargate SG-1 recs page. With lots and lots of stories. And lots and lots of authors. It's almost like being back home in the Harry Potter world, where good fanfiction is plentiful and no one can read it all.

Delightful Recs Page

So far I've read the very enjoyable T-Minus Ten And Counting. Very funny. Very much in character. Jack and Daniel have to survive ten days in quarantine. Hands off. No touching. Down boy.

I am currently avoiding my homework reading an SG-1 story.

A letter to the author:

I realize that realism is important. Naturally, in real life we don't know where our 'stories' are headed. There is no foreshadowing, no order, no meaningful sequence of events. We are often sidetracked by frivolous detail, and yes, there are redundancies, people doing, saying, and thinking the same thing over and over again.

But when writing a story like this, there is no tension. The reader is lost in your lovely prose wondering why are they reading this. Imagination, beautiful characterisation and a glimpse of originality is not enough to keep the reader wandering through this vague mess. *regretfully hits the Back button*
