Oh my God.

First challenge ever: If you loved Willimakee, or For Each Ecstatic Instant or Rounded with a Sleep, you need to go find a copy of the short story Brokeback Mountain. It's Annie Proulx, and primarily in the collection Close Range, though nialla42 has several other anthologies she knows of that it will be in.

You don't have to go right now, as many of us work or go to school (or both) or have lives or whatnot... but sometime (and may I suggest today? At least before the movie based on this comes out in December) you should stop by the bookstore, the library or your best friends who has every book under the sun's house and get your hands on this story. I read it last night and it is HAUNTING me. So heartrendingly lovely.

Reading list meme

snagged this from raindroproses:

Summer Reading List Meme: List three fics that you have read this summer (August) and enjoyed and would recommend to others as part of their September Required Reading List.

1. Isomeric by surrealphantast Sam/Daniel for that 'Not exactly' comment from Ex Deus Machina.

2. Comparing Scars by cofax7 This is a brilliant Sam & Vala gen moment in S9. You thought they just passed each other in the hall and went 'huh?'. No, neither did I.

3. Best Laid Plans by marzilla This could go under slash, or hawtness, or J/D or any number of things, but because it involves the home shopping network, it's going under humor. But it's also HAWT. *guh*

Also updated the fanfic recs for SG-1 J/D slash, alternate pairings+ and humor. Read! Read little bookworms!
