Random fannish stuff

I have been awfully remiss in posting this, but [livejournal.com profile] sga_genficathon is live! There will be about 50 stories posted over the next two weeks ('til May 14). From what I've seen of the stories, there is a fantastic variety of character, theme and subject matter (the stories that are posted so far include everything from a fast-paced team caper story to one about Alicia Vega grappling with DADT in the Mensaverse). And thank you again to [livejournal.com profile] tipper_green, [livejournal.com profile] kyuuketsukirui and [livejournal.com profile] greyias for posting the anon stories ... so I don't have to! (Poor Tipper. She will probably never volunteer to do anything for me ever again.)

[livejournal.com profile] team_sga is also live with their Team AU festival -- and my posting day is tomorrow, so you can look forward to my wee!Team story then.

Misc other fanfic I've read lately that's good...

Pamphlets by [livejournal.com profile] shati (Good Omens, gen, G-ish, Aziraphale with a bit of Crowley) - I haven't read Good Omens fic in forever, but I read this and was reminded all over again why I love the characters so much. Oh, Aziraphale ... dorkiest angel ever.

Modern Love by [livejournal.com profile] penknife (Discworld, PG-13, mostly OCs and various OC pairings more hinted at than seen) - okay, so this has been read and rec'd everywhere by now, but I loved this story so much. Written for [livejournal.com profile] lgbtfest, it's a brilliant look at the complexities of dwarf sexuality and how Ankh-Morpork's different social mores are affecting them -- which probably sounds awfully dry, but it's really not; the author's got a great feel for Pratchett's narrative voice and this seriously reads like something that could be slotted into one of the books. I loved the OCs too.

Congratulations. Now that I've succeeded in writing my first fic, I might aim for this next year. It certainly wouldn't have happened with school going on at the same time. I nearly fried my brain with all the things I was trying to get finished the other week :P
