GAH!!!!

Uh...

I caught the McShep bug. I'm stricken with it.

From the fluttering in my tummy and the huge smile that I've had on my face all day, I'm pretty sure it's the start of another beautiful obsession.

Soooooo, a quick poll just for me to establish how many other SGA nutters I have on my list. Oh, and after two years of LJ, this is my first poll

[Poll #751311]

And if you do write McShep specifically, could you leave me small comment? Just so I can go digging through your journal ~g~

Ooohhh!!! Congratulations, sweetie! The SGA fandom is a fun place to be. :) I think you're going to be very, very happy...*g*. I don't know what you've read, but Oblivious by Shalott (Astolat) is the very first story that I ever read in SGA, and I've never looked back! I didn't even know for sure who Rodney and John were at that point, but the story was so compelling that I went looking for more. Let's just say that I haven't regretted it. Enjoy!

Anna *hugs and smooches you*

Oh, and first, on the poll! I'm never first for anything! LOL...

Just wanted to say that I'm always up for a new potential addiction. Will there be crossovers with S/X? I'll look forward to whatever you come up with.

I've never seen an episode since the show was never aired in Sweden. Since they never even aired the whole show SG1 (they cut the show at a cliffhanger!) I doubt they'll ever bother with SGA. Anyway, I've tried a few fics (mostly crossovers) before I found this fic: Alone In My Mind (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=718) by James. It's a threesome with Sheppard & McKay as an established couple and Beckett added later on. It's mostly from Beckett's POV but I think it's a good read. The archive Wraithbait (http://www.wraithbait.com/index.php) where it's on have some more fics for you to read (e.g. 1235 fics of McKay/Sheppard).

I write McShep! Also, many pet stores sell a spray product called Lo-Shed (I think). You wash the dog, then spray the stuff on and rub it in and it's supposed to help. I used it on my cat years ago with good effect. Also, it depends on the breed of dog - some do a big shed twice a year of their undercoat and there's nothing you can do about it.

Sigh. I so do not get the McShep, had this conversation last night with someone else on LJ. I don't like John that much so I find it very hard to get interested in fic focusing on him. (loathe weir though)
That said, I *do* enthusiastically second the rec up above for James' 'Alone in Your Mind' because its a Carson-centric story and I adore him. so it makes the inclusion of john into the mix okay.

Since I like Carson Beckett so, Rodney/Carson is a pair I can totally get behind. and wouldn't mind being in front of or in the same room as. ;-)

(big fan of Carson/Radek as well. Love Radek.)

James also has a great centaur-AU set in Atlantis. Its kind of hard to explain, but really really good. Actually, I recommend James/Gila period. I'm going to assume you read James' most excellent Spander series written with Wolfling, "Sands of Time".

If you want to try some Rodney/Carson, I recommend the most excellent writing of
Mice.
The 'Moments Sacred & Profane' series is long and wonderful. For a more accessible and quicker intro, try
Red Lion Rampant

Totally random swerve out of topic:
As much as I like reading McBeck, and I watch SGA fairly regularly, it makes me kind of sad because so many Stargate SG-1 Jack/Daniel writers have completely abandoned it for SGA. When I compare that quick decampment to how long-lasting 'The Sentinel' jim/blair love has lasted...sigh.

I joined mckay_sheppard yesterday and someone else asked for recs and I bookmarked it for me to read. HERE (http://community.livejournal.com/mckay_sheppard/819122.html).

Enoy love! MWAH!

[sweet-exile.livejournal.com]

I love Atlantis but tend to read more Carson/Rodney fics. Although saying that I do like your icon!

Have you tried Area 42 (http://www.area52hkh.net)? There's a large archive of McShep fics there.

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

For the pretty, there s mckay_daily, mcshep_daily, flanigan_daily and sheppard_daily.

For everything else, there's
sga_newsletter, sga_noticeboard and sgastoryfinders.

There are also comunities where other characters played by Joe Flanigan and David Hewlett are slashed, but I won't link you to them. I'll let you get settled into the McShep first and then hit you with the rest. *g*

If you're looking for more McShep stories I recomend checking out rec_room here on LJ. They rec stories from many different fandoms, but they do rec a lot of high quality SGA fics.

Also, if you haven't already, check out WraithBait: http://wraithbait.cathandnick.com/index.php.
