"The Killing Frost" is completed

[sholio]

It's done!

Title: The Killing Frost
Words: ~102,000
Characters: Everybody, and I do mean everybody. McKay, Sheppard and (surprise!) Caldwell get the biggest roles.
Rating: Gen; T for language and violence
Season/spoilers/warnings: Late Season 2 or Season 3; takes place sometime after "The Long Goodbye". Spoilers for Season 2 and one very, very mild one for "McKay & Mrs Miller" in a flashback to Rodney's childhood. (Edited in after-the-fact, because I wrote the scene before the episode aired.)
Summary: When a scientific mission goes wrong, the Daedalus crashes on an ice planet along with most of Atlantis's scientists and a ruthless saboteur. Can rescue come before injuries and the elements take their toll?

It took me several days worth of spare time to read this story, but was well worth it! It has great whump and H/C, intrigue, relationship moments, wonderful angsty John/Rodney buddy bits, good OC's that hit just the right balance with the familiar characters. Thumbs up in all ways!

And many thanks for a *long* story, my favorite kind, and for posting it in one file rather than twenty chapters.

It goes directly into my 'save to nominate for awards' folder!

Thank you ever so much! *smile* You know what's funny is I also got a complaint about having it all on one page (she said that it made it hard to remember her place when she stopped reading, whereas chapters are more convenient), but I MUCH prefer one page, myself ... it makes it ever so much easier to bookmark, save to hard drive or print out files.

And you know, I never thought of making a "to nominate for awards" list. That would make it so much easier next year than having to just go through all my bookmarks and saved files ... (And I'm terribly flattered that I'm on your list, with my usual inadequacy at expressing it.)

Exactly! I might bookmark a multi-chapter story to the 'to read' folder, but am much less likely to get around to reading it.
