Fic Pimp!

For long, plotty and original NCIS Gibbs/DiNozzo fics, look no further than Lady Ra.

Some of you in the SGA fandom may recognise her from her McShep classic Loving Rodney.

Back to the NCIS fics, Tears and History are great, but I love Sensing Evil for its weird and unexpected supernatural creepiness. Consider this one definitely AU!


I'm currently reading the beautiful McShep verse Nantucket and it reminds me of all the wonderfully written fics in that fandom and it's prompted me to start my Top Twenty Fics of all Time. Multi-fandom. I think it would be interesting to figure it out, post and then come back to it every six months to see how much it's changed. Right now I'm just trying to make a random list of memorable fics from all my fandoms. Erm, this might take some time, especially as I intend to re-read all the serious contenders. Eeep.

Oh, the Nantucket AU is just *sighs*

Whenever I want a soft comfortable blanket of a fic I usually head there or to the Iowa'verse.

I don't think I could cut my list down to a Top 20 multifandom, I think I've probably got at least that many fandoms. Per fandom, possibly...

Ooohhh...seriously...twenty?! I'm pretty sure that I'd break something if I tried to put together a list of my Top Twenty Fics of all Time. Multi-fandom. You're a brave soul, sweetie. I can't wait to see what comes out of your attempt. ;)

*cheers you on*

*hopes you don't break*

LOL

I adore Lady Ra's writing, especially the Sentinel & Stargate stuff & the NCIS stuff--okay pretty much all of it. I just re-read her sg1/sga story "wraith killers."

I've never seen the 'nantucket' universe, but then i don't read that much McShep. My first love was beckett/mckay so I've been stubborn trying the pretty flyboy with the snarky scientist.

Still on an NCIS kick I see. did i, yes, i see i gave you recs way back when you asked.

Yay, you finally got to the Nantucket 'verse! *sigh* Just lovely, isn't it? Makes you want to cuddle up in it (and/or AFiI)forever.

Good luck with figuring out a multi-fandom Top Twenty. You're a better woman than I am to even try, Batgirl. *g*

Yis! It really is like wrapping yourself in a warm, cuddly blanket with a teddy.

Well, I've got 26 contenders at the moment and that's just an initial skim without most of my HP except DDG. EEP!

Oh I ADORE the Iowa verse. That will be VERY near the top of my chart.

I've got 26 fics lined up as contenders for my top 20 so far and I've barely started on the HP fics.

LOL, yeah, was I being too ambitious? You'll know the answer to that question if I post a top 40, haha.

I really like Lady Ra. Her fics are always interesting and different.

You should seriously read A Farm in Iowa if you haven't already. That was my number one McShep fic ever and it's absolutely wonderful!

You did, thank you so much! I'm loving the NCIS fic so far. There's some great fic out there.

I've just posted my three favourite J2 AUs from the Big Bang so far and even that list was bloody near impossible to whittle down!

LOL, it's hard isn't it? Even just putting together the list of contenders is difficult!

'a farm in iowa'? can you give me the link again. i must have missed that rec.

I've been reading Keira Marcos' "what might have been" -- it's wildly AU, perhaps too OOC for some, (plus it has yucky jack-sam) but I can clearly see how canon john & rodney could become the john & rodney in her story, given the different events that it jumps off from. And the storylines are pretty darn engrossing, with interesting OCs (though not enough daniel jackson) with an absolutely wonderful relationship between john & rodney (loving, snarky, teasing, fierce & Hot); and I love Rodney's "ginormous cat, maybe an alien, Quark".

There you go. It's very long, but it's one of the best fics I've read in any fandom.

LOL, I love the sound of Rodney's gigantic cat!
