dangit! New fandom.

Well, it's not like I hadn't known about NCIS before, but there is something about finding a really extraordinary writer in a fandom to make you think 'yeah, it's time to start following the fanfic here now'. I should point out that I did not intrepidly discover this writer on my own, she was recced and rerecced and pointed to repeatedly by dustandroses, and I was stubbornly not listening to her. But now I am, and omg, I loved that fic. THANKS, Dusty!

So Rebecca? blueraccoon? Shout out to you. Her Geometry series is what caught me; they are a series of stand alone fics, and the one I read and LOVED was trajectory, in which Tony gets curious about a slightly kinkier lifestyle, Abby is all for it and along for the ride and moral support, and a few former suspects on a closed case are the trustworthy guides and exemplary members, and the OMC taking Tony on his first steps into the idea of submission is funny, kind, respectful, responsive, sexy and passionate. I'd be totally jealous of Tony if I didn't want to be Abby so badly.

SGA fic from mmmchelle for thegrrl2002's birthday. Happy Birthday! It is very appropriate for you to be given such fine fine smut in celebration, and I'm still in awe of how wonderfully tantric the build up of tension is in this fic. Rodney just stimulates John in all the right ways at the same time he's making him feel safe from the hoards of people wanting to celebrate his birthday. Fantastic stuff! Not just any smut, let me tell you; it's staying with me. Invisible by Day, by mmmchelle.

in SG-1 news, I've no new fics to recommend, sadly (haven't had a lot of time to trawl through archives to rec older stuff either), except my own, which you can't have yet. *is sad* Actually, I think I've finished my remix fic, only tweaking the last bits and getting the wording smoothed (Wot? I know what I meant, but fortunately, my lovely beta RW won't let me get away with that-- to your benefit.)

This marks the second ficathon in which I got my piece finished waaaaay early for some reason; I actually think it has something to do with writing for another person. It's more important to me to write well if I'm not just writing for my own amusement. I had a whole simile to writing for a teacher I really cared about and for versus teachers that I didn't have a close relationship with, making amusing statements about how I didn't always get straight A's, in case you were wondering... but then I realized I was implying that the other teachers didn't actually read my assignments or that it didn't matter to me if they did, and that felt mean. Also? I realized it was a poor simile since I've yet to have any relationship with the people I've written for in ficathons beforehand soooo, there you go.

This is why I need betas, see? LOL.

Dude! Go forth and watch. You've got two stunning episodes in the there (Crackers and The Way We Weren't). I'm fond of parts of the other two, but they don't hold a candle to those.

It'll be worth your while, I promise.

I did! I did! And Crackers was fantastic. Maybe I'll check out TWWW tonight? I'm still stuck in a hotel room in a city I don't know well with a bit of a cold, so that might be just what the doctor ordered, though I was so excited after Crackers last night that I stayed up a little later than I probably ought to've done. Ooops?
