You know, with less than two weeks until the season premiere of SGA(!!!), what say we lead into that with some fic or vid recs over at
stargategenrec? I'm falling way behind on reccing things, what with spending most of this month traveling, but there have been lots of good gen stories coming out lately, and I know there are a lot of gen readers out there, so ... after you read a good fic, want to take a minute to duck over there and rec it? The reccing format is very simple (you can look at other recs to see how people do it); you can rec old or new stuff, SGA or SG-1; you can use the tags to find out if something has already been rec'd, although don't stress about that TOO much because personally, I think it'd be better for something to get rec'd twice than not at all!
I'm not sure if people hold back on reccing stories because they want to wait for something to come along that really knocks their socks off, but honestly, you don't have to LOVE a story to rec it at
stargategenrec, you just have to like it. I've rec'd stories that had aspects to them that I wasn't 100% on board with, but I felt that they were worthwhile stories that others might enjoy. I think that right now, I'm probably doing about 80% of the recs over there (at least) and I'd really love to see more people rec things, because that way a wider cross-section of gen fic would be represented -- with me reccing, obviously it's going to be fairly limited just to things that I like.
