Hi, a mail to let you know about my reccing (mis)fortunes. :)

I signed up for another month of John & Rodney Friendship on [livejournal.com profile] stargateficrec, but something went wrong with my posting access (as in 'no posting access' and zero response from the mods) so I'm afraid there aren't going to be any Rodney / John Friendship recs in June.

I found it quite a challenge to be honest. Most of the stories I had in mind, had been recc'd already or upon rereading teetered on the brink of pre-slash (that happened quite often actually :). Whether it is because the author has also written slash and it colors my perception, or because I didn't read the signs the first time around, but a lot of stories were decidedly slashier than I remembered!).

At any rate, I found it quite a challenge to find well-written gen stories with the focus on friendship (focus on friendship being the operative word here). There are plenty of course, but I don't want to rec the same authors over and over again. So even if the mods get back to me, I will probably bow out after June and let someone else take a turn.

At the time you said you were looking for a replacement for April and May. Would you like the category back? Or would you perhaps consider posting another appeal to your flist? You will reach a far larger group of people than I will and I would hate to see the category go dormant.

Thanks for letting me have a go at this. It was a fun experience!
