dangit! New fandom.

[minxy]

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.

Bwah hah hah hah....I'm just a pimpin' fool! Where the hell's my pimp hat at? Don't you just love blueraccoon? She's so excellent.

Life is hard for a pimp, yeah? LOL. We called ThunderingLunie, responsible for turning me on to slash in the first place with Jack and Daniel, the corruptor of worlds.

Could be hard to jump in with both feet as I'm also developing my Farscape love and I've only seen a handful of episodes of NCIS from last season (I was told the Shower Scene was not to be missed--sometimes I love timezones). But I think I could do it for Rebecca's writing. Most of it doesn't seem too episode based, anyway.

p.s. You can borrow my pimp hat, but I do like your ballcap with devil's horns. *g*

I'm a member of ncisepisodes, so I can get a download of any episode you might be interested in. I have a bunch, already, to be honest. So let me know if you're looking for a particular episode and I'll post it to sendspace, which is my favorite free site for such things (much better than YouSendIt, and they'll let you send larger files, too.)

Ah, who needs Farscape? *g*
