Reading List
Like most I have reached terror level red with all the ficathons. Why do I do this to myself?
Mostly, though, I have been suffering from major writing burnout. Not too surprising, I guess, the way I was punching out a new chapter a week there for a while. But, yeah. Burned. Out. (Just in time for the ficathons.) What's interesting is that when I get burned out I walk away from fandom as a whole for a while (a very short while, granted), and then I wander back, and generally start reading voraciously again until I get to the point that I feel like writing again. I actually read very little fanfic these days, never wandering outside my fabulous flist, but every once and a while I get in one of those great reading phases where I consume fic like no tomorrow. Some new stuff, but also a lot of revisiting old favorites.
A partial reading list of what has grabbed my attention this week. (All Sam/Jack)
Noticing by Claira.
This is classic team Sam/Jack UST at it's best. I love how this one short fic can ecapsulate so many of the things I love about this USTy pairing, and fits so well with the way I see them in my head.

pepper_fieldI'm surprised I haven't read a hole in this fic yet. It doesn't matter how many times I read it, it always hits home for me. Sam and Jack and storage closets. What else could a fangirl need?
And one I hadn't read before, Let Go and Hold On by Rachel500, which is a long nice read about SG-1's final mission together and how quickly everything tumbles apart. Nice look at all the changes after season 8 and before season 9 and the political in-fighting and Landry adjusting to his new command. And, of course, Jack and Sam trying to get their stupid cute act together.
I also read a lot of other things I'd never read before, but...yeah. I'm trying to pretend I hadn't.
Oh, and a Leverage rec just for kicks. We're All Mad Here byentangled_now. Gen. Short and sweet and totally awesome. (And why am I so hopelessly inlove with Eliot's view of everyone? I just am.)

Love Rachel's fic, so glad she's been posting it on eljay lately:)
I never heard of leverage?? - I'm english *shrugs*

Leverage is my new shiny. Such a fabulous show with a quirky team of good guy criminals. It's on TNT over here, not sure if it's jumped the pond yet. See my icon for my two favorite characters.

It is nice to have it one place. FF.net. is good .......but also woeful at times. So nice for selfish me to be on one format.
'Leverage' is this a new show? Possibly not UK yet?
no subject
I think ff.net is nice because it seems more permanent to me. Even after people stop paying for their webpages or delete their LJs that should still be there, hypothetically.
Yes, Leverage is a new show over here. I have heard talk that there is a British show quite like it, but the name escapes me. (What? American TV stealing a British show and remaking it? Unheard of!!! ;)

Any more recs would be great too as it will cut a lot of c**p to sift through :-) (that or a load more of wreakage)

I had never read anything by Claira and her fics were a wonderful revelation, funny, I think those two are my favorites too.
DO you happen to have skin-diving by nostalgia_lj anywhere? the link doesn't work and I tried to go through her LJ but would let me access it.
