182: SGA: The Long Goodbye.

Oct 11, 2008 22:24

SGA is ending. And the thing is, I actually got sad when I heard that, and I don't watch the show. (I watched, um, some episodes of season one. And it is not looking like I will have time for television before the earthling is, oh, twelve, so I doubt I'll see even those episodes that are Instant Slash Classics. I'm sorry! I'm just not very good at ( Read more... )

I love all of these SO VERY MUCH.

And I love YOU so very much. (The stories, too. I have a lot of love to go around!)

I've read half of these, and am looking forward to the other half, but it made me really happy to see you reccing again. Not that I don't love the Earthling tales (one day someone in the library's going to ask me why I'm laughing so hard, and I will have no words because I'll be too busy gasping for breath), but it's nice to see that you're still bopping around fandom and digging up good stories for the rest of us to read and describing them in hysterical ways.

I'm happy to be recommending, too! I still do a lot of reading, but recommending takes a long time now, because I so infrequently have two free hands. I am hoping I'll be able to do more soon - I miss it. And I'm glad I make you laugh in the library!

I love that story, and now have Me and Bobby MacGee in my head. :D

Thank you! I had never heard that song before. (And it has a couple other quotes I recognized, too. Apparently it is very well known, and I'm just way out of touch.)

*sobs* I hope you never stop with the recs for SGA. As one who IS watching (and I do understand the baby thing), I'm very, very, very sad. *sob*

And, I couldn't read 'Freedom's Just Another Word for Nothing Left to Lose' without sobbing my heart out. And I have read it more than one, cried, and then had to go read happy stories.

I love 'Written by the Victors' and I think I need two days off from work to be able to read 'The Water Grinds the Stone'. I'm looking forward to it soon. That and a box of kleenex. I've never read 'At the Hour When We Are Trembling'... might consider it. It breaks two of my OTP's too... so...

*pats you* I can't make the show come back, but I can keep recommending stories in the fandom for a long, long, long time. I have quite a backlog.

And, I couldn't read 'Freedom's Just Another Word for Nothing Left to Lose' without sobbing my heart out.

It's interesting to me how reaction to that story is divided. I know some people who cried and cried, and some people (I am one) who see it as a basically happy story.

I think I need two days off from work to be able to read 'The Water Grinds the Stone'.

That's ideal, yes. Or you can choose the "no sleep 'til 250k words" option. But some people seem to think they need sleep.

I've never read 'At the Hour When We Are Trembling'... might consider it. It breaks two of my OTP's too... so...

You know, I'm the OTPest OTPer who ever read fan fiction, and I find that that story still works for me, and doesn't mash any of my broken-OTP buttons. But I can't articulate why it doesn't, so I can't make any promises for you. It's an ( ... )

hell yes to what you've written there. hell yes hell yes HELL FREAKIN' YES.

Er, DO NOT CLICK ON THESE LINKS because I will feel guilty for making you cry, please don't cry, oh Gods I am bad with dealing with tears. 0.0 But you could tell people that the links are in the comments [because you just typing those story names out made me want to reread them so this is YOUR FAULT TOO OKAY]: Your Cowboy Days Are Over and Theory of Everything

thefourthvine October 13 2008, 00:16:56 UTC

Thank you! I will note that those links are there, and then I will NEVER THINK ABOUT THEM AGAIN.

*bravely does not cry*

(And lest you think I'm kidding - last night I made the mistake of trying to talk to Best Beloved about a story we are not naming at all, although it is certainly named in this post, and just speaking the title out loud was enough to make me cry. I am WEAK.)
