No, not the warm fuzzies, pleease!

Sweet jesus, all my favorite SGA pimps recc'ers have been hit by the sweet tooth today. Pink sparkly bunnies coming out of our ears.

Help. Recs, please?

I want John/Rodney. Or Rodney/Radek, even. Serious, plotty stories, any rating.

Anything but fluffy cotton candy. I've been reading Jack O'Neill today, and I want my John sharp enough you could shave with him.

*off to dig through rec-lists*

Also, personal request? Someone turn off the fucking sun. It is 97 degrees in my apartment and we're melting. Fans whirring, nothing helps.

The mad!AU category (I'm not sure about reccing WIPS though):

Ard-I-can't-spell-it by auburnnotlisa

Seperis' adorable kid!fic by seperis

The dolphin story by cesperanza (yeah, I know, two stories by her)

Technology, and boy, you'd think I'd have more for this theme but a lot of them have been recc'd and I have to find more:

Interface by resonant8 if it's not already recc'd

going to eat some food and think some more. :) thanks for sending me what you already had, it'll help. :)

Okay I'm having a hard time thinking of military John/Rodney fics. Most of the ones that feel the most military are mostly Gen fics. like the Geeks and Goons series.

Oh! have you readRodney and Cadman Go Down, Rodney and Cadman Get It On, 400% by kormantic ?

I'll be back later tonight.

[amalthia]

okay, here's what I'd pick for

dark/military!John/not cotton!candy fic category:

Hunting Parties

Your Inevitable Unhappy Ending

Entanglements

Technology:

Double Occupancy

Mad AU!

I'm not sure about reccing WIP myself....though I got to admit Teacher's Pet and Ard are awesome stories. The only AU I can think of that has John acting like a military man is Last Will and Testament

Anyway, basically I'm not sure what's been recced in the categories you're reccing in and sadly I don't have time to look into it. :(

Not sure if any of this helps...but hopefully my rec by genre list helps to some extent. Most of the stuff there is Rodney/John

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Your rec-by-genre list was my introduction to the fandom. :D

Thank you very much, these should really help -- it's my job to check what's already recc'd, no sweat. *goes off eagerly to read*

And I'm ~4,000 words into that John-screws-up fic. Poor John. He's facing much mockery at the moment.

Your rec-by-genre list was my introduction to the fandom. :D

Oh wow, I hadn't realized that! :) Um though I wouldn't be surprised if you had told me and I completely forgot. Okay, then....I'm fresh out of ideas...however I do have that other rec list of stuff that is just all jumbled together. I never really thought to find military John stories. (and my favorites so far have all been Gen, with the exception of Sacraficial Drift.) basically, I'm now thinking maybe I should add some genre stuff to my regular rec posts...so even though a story may not make it to the genre list...the recs are still categorized to some extent.

Good luck on that John Screws up fic. :)

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I put out a call for fic and you stopped by and gave me the links.

Of all the rec-lists, that and your Top Ten (or so) favorites list have had the most consistently good stories. I was intending to go back to it to mine for more technology fics, actually.

I was noticing that about the military stuff and Gen. Somehow the military angle seems to push Rodney and John's relationship off-stage.
