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.)

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.
