SGA Big Bang!

SGA Big Bang is LIVE!

I just want to stay home and read all the stories! Sadly, I have to get my ass in gear and go to class. Woe! But it looks wonderful; there are 43 stories, including a handful of gen and a wide variety of pairings. Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] gblvr and [livejournal.com profile] svmadelyn for making it happen one last time.

I was fortunate enough to do artwork for These Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End, by [livejournal.com profile] siriaeve. I picked the story based on the description because I thought it sounded visually interesting, but you shoulda seen the grin on my face when I saw who I was writing for (we picked them without knowing). I adore [livejournal.com profile] siriaeve's lyrical prose and her luscious world-building, and I knew I was in for a treat. And how!

Summary: The planet of Posturr is on the brink of civil war and Ronon's team is missing. Amid chaos and betrayal, Ronon must work closely with Jennifer to find them, facing the ghosts of his past as he rethinks his present.

It's PG13, Ronon/Jennifer with a very minor side pairing of John/Rodney/Teyla. I highly recommend giving this story a chance even if these aren't your pairings; there's no graphic content at all and the world-building is awesome -- I can't remember the last time I read a "team captured by offworld hostiles" story that did such a wonderful job of making the society convincing and sympathetic, with a believable political situation and descriptions so vivid that you can practically feel the mud on your boots. Even the OCs are marvelous. And the story is told in a really wonderful Ronon POV that fleshes out his backstory marvelously.

Thank you for giving me such a wonderful story to illustrate! I really was thrilled when I opened up the email and saw that my assignment was going to be yours, because your stories are always fantastically vivid and I knew I'd be in for something good. :)
