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.

I always liked these two bits from Run (which I don't think I commented on at the time-- bad me)--

At least he caught her in a good mood this time, for the moment. “Well, Teal’c and I are in a virtual simulation of a battle situation in which a supersoldier has entered the base, you are a virtual character, Jack has gone AWOL on a bike, probably, (Harriman was just going to call you) and I really, really need to you to take the anti-supersoldier weapon to Teal’c outside the gateroom now.” He heard the tell-tale chime of the elevator arriving and stretched, trying to get a foot in the door to hold it while he explained to Sam.

“Okay,” Sam said, “I’m on my way.”

(and then also)

“We’re simulated, Sir,” Colonel Carter announced, “Daniel and Teal’c are in a military simulation."

“Cool, guess that explains the bike,” O’Neill said equably; he and Teal'c looked at each other.

“It absolutely does not explain the bike, Jack,” Daniel Jackson argued tiredly.

“Does too! Ask Teal’c,” O’Neill retorted.

They're so funny and I can really *hear* the characters. :D

It was very interesting to have the key to that story be how Sam and Jack react to being simulations. I remember the aha moment of figuring that out, and I think some of the dialog you quoted may have been my best ever for Jack at least.

Which is a long winded way of saying, thank you for quoting my stuff at me! This was such a joyous ego-boost.
