Yes, this is a blatant attempt to seek connection today:

Stolen from ivorygates who stole from synecdochic who stole from cofax7 who stole from yahtzee63:

Quote a bit of my writing at me? Find that one story of mine that you really like, and find a sentence or a paragraph that presses your prose-buttons in the right way, and comment here with it? Don't care how long or short.

I will extend this to pimped works and meta: tell me about a recommendation that you loved, the fic or the description thereof, what made you want to read and whether you thought I was accurate. I want to know if you've been thrilled by a particular rec of your own work, or if the description pointed something out that surprised you, etc. Tell me if a Sam meta made your day or what about a Teal'c meta made you try writing his POV?

Recs are under this fanfic recs tag, stories are under this tag and in this post, meta is here.

From Stadium Seating (http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/65047.html)

“We require spoons to drink a beverage?” he enquired, mildly perplexed as straws joined the spoons in each glass. “Does the ice cream not melt upon addition of liquid, Colonel Mitchell?”

“Not entirely, there’s this sort of crunchy outside around a hunk of frozen goodness,” Mitchell said, abstractly gesturing with one hand as he picked up a larger spoon from the table with the other, “although it does really help to have a hot day behind you to appreciate it, preferably with a good vantage point at a little league game, and I do not answer to Colonel Mitchell on my days off.”

A pointed gesture with the spoon and raised eyebrows was informal, but Mitchell looked at him for a moment longer than necessary. Teal’c found himself nodding with a solemnity he wasn’t entirely sure was appropriate as he inwardly marveled at the myriad ways the Taur’i named themselves. The progressively more intimate names required substantial concentration merely to remember the words, let alone understand the being behind them.

As if it were not gift enough to recognize an individual by more than his function.

You give such voice to Teal'c.

Awww, Stadium Seating. I had a devil of a time naming that one, but the whole story really took me by surprise. And Teal'c often does sneak in these incredible thoughts and comments when I'm not looking (I love that name vs. function thing.)

Thanks.
