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 am new to the whole Stargate, fandom, and fanfiction thing and have just stumbled on to your stuff. It is great! You give Sam and Teal'c such voice. They are my favorites and you just capture them so well! I haven't read all of your fic or even begun to scratch the surface of your rec's but what I have read so far has been quality stuff! It makes my day and makes me excited about the show and characters!
Thanks!

Yay Teal'c fans! Yay Sam fans! You've just so made my day, my friend. Thank you very much, and I hope you enjoy the stories. Look forward to seeing you around--have you seen the whole show or are you watching for the first time now?

Well I have seen a fair number of episodes over the years, but I had only watched them in passing. I didn't have cable and they came on at like 1 or 2 am for a while in syndication so I couldn't see them much. But this year I went to college and started seeing the reruns of Sg1 and the new Atlantis eps on scifi and realized how great it was! Then I looked on Gateworld and found fanfiction too! And I am pleasantly surprised by how much excellent stuff there is written in the fandom. I really love how under-(or un-)explored characters(like Teal'c and sam)/concepts/ideas can be fleshed out through fanfiction.
This summer I plan on sitting down and watching everything in order...
