Story rec

I just recced this over at stargategenrec, but it deserves another rec here, because seriously, this is an amazing, awesome story; I'm still trying to get it out of my brain. It's team gen, but even if you don't normally read that, I suggest you take a look -- especially if you like stories that are darker and twistier than is the norm in SGA.

Unmanifest Destiny by vain_glorious is the story. It's not that I've never read this plot before; it's that I've rarely read it done this well. Even if you think you've seen road trip fic before, even if you don't think team road trip is your bag, you still ought to give this one a look.

I don't want to spoil the story in this rec, because it's so rare that a fanfic gives me a "Holy fucking hell *boggle*" feeling that I don't want to spoil it for anyone else. But be aware that it contains material some may find depressing and/or triggering. If you're in the mood for a cheerful lark of a story, this isn't it.

Gateverse_Remix is LIVE!

gateverse_remix has gone live, and my story is up!

I'm honestly very proud of this one, because it took me outside my comfort zone (which is actually one of the things I really love about remixes and challenges) and yet I found an idea that I really enjoyed developing, and I'm pleased with the result. Now to see if readers like it as well! Please note the pairing and rating; it's different from my usual fare, and there is sexin' (albeit very circumspect sexin').

Title: Selena of the Bears (Aesop's Choose Your Own Adventure Remix)
Rating: R
Word Count: 3300
Pairing: Ronon/Carson
Spoilers: for Runner
Original Story: Androcles and the Lion by Raederle (seleneheart)
Summary: Every culture sees the world through the lens of its stories. It's been a long time since Ronon last had the chance to hear a story whose ending he does not know.

I'll probably be back with thoughts on the story and the writing process, since this was an unusual one for me and I really had fun with the production of it.
