Stuff...

I posted an SGA gen Halloween story roundup over at [livejournal.com profile] stargategenrec. Seems like the fandom's been a little light on Halloween stories this year, but I'm looking forward to seeing what [livejournal.com profile] sga_flashfic's "supernatural" challenge produces.

Speaking of stories, you absolutely MUST read [livejournal.com profile] dossier's East of the Sun, West of the Moon. The only other story that's similar to it in SGA fandom that I can think of is "Your Cowboy Days are Over" -- mindblowing, emotionally draining, basically gen, and truly deserving the title of "science fiction novel". Like "Cowboy Days", it's an AU (taking off canon at "Intruder") and is John-centric, although it does wonderful things with the rest of the cast as well. I really cannot recommend it highly enough, and I hope this story gets drowned in comment-love and recs, because it totally deserves it.

And on the topic of novels (note my clever segues!), November is NaNoWriMo and I'm seriously thinking about doing it this year, mostly because one of my major goals for 2007 was to finish a novel, and while I've STARTED quite a few of them, I have yet to actually finish one. (No, fanfic does not count, at least not for this particular goal.) I'd like to blog my progress, but I'm not sure if I want to do it here; I'm dithering with the idea of creating a separate journal just for posting fiction. I've kinda wanted to do that for a while, but right now, I really need another journal like a hole in the head. (In addition to this one, I also have a personal journal and a community that was originally intended for posting creative stuff, but has been languishing because the community interface isn't really right for that sort of thing. Hmm.)
