The wonderful kho podficced my SGA story Devil & The Deep Blue Sea (McKay/Keller + John & Rodney friendship). It's a rather long story, so the first half of the podfic is available now; the second half is still being edited. :D Go, download, listen, comment!

Link to the podfic available here: http://kho.livejournal.com/920855.html

juniperphoenix made a podfic of my Ronon-POV SGA story "Satedan Justice"! :D Here is juniperphoenix's post (and here is the original fic at sga_santa). Thank you!!

sga_santa is posting again! I've been really apathetic about SGA the last few months, but maybe having a slew of shiny new stories will help with that. And somewhere in there is one for me, and one by me. (Personally I think my story is blindingly obvious this year -- obvious fic is obvious! -- but I'm still curious if anyone guesses which one is mine.)

My story Another Day at the Office (Jeannie, Vala) has been podficced by juniperphoenix, available here. Thank you! <3

I am almost done with my holiday stories (just need to edit the sheppard_hc one). This has been a rather unusual year for me in that I've had a lot of time to write gift exchange fic, so I'm taking full advantage of it; now I'm turning my attention to doing a handful of Yuletide treats and stocking stuffers for fandom_stocking. (I'm kind of torn on writing Yuletide treats early? On the one hand, I don't want to steal anybody's glory from their "official" story. But on the other hand, most of what I want to write is in tiny fandoms that have little-to-no fic, and I'm sure that getting two stories ina little bitty fandom would be nice for the recipient. But I certainly don't want to make anyone feel bad.)

First off, I wrote this small Whaleverse ficlet for naye (G, 1300 words, John/Rodney plus team and, of course, whales). THE CRACK, IT JUST WILL NOT STOP.

rheanna27 recorded my story Between the Lines as a podfic; here is the post at her journal with all relevant download information. If you like it, let her know how awesome she is! :D

And a couple of recs for good, and under-appreciated, SGA fic I've read lately, which I can't rec at genrec because it isn't gen:

Throwing out your frown and just smiling at the sound by less_star (John/OMC, John & Rodney friendship) - less_star wrote this as a bonus-round fic for one of my prompts in sga_santa, and it's really delightful. I love the sense of weariness and resignation that pervades the story, as John struggles to acknowledge the idea that he could actually be happy; it's a wonderful John piece as well as a nice friendship story.

A Moment Out of Time by skinscript (John/Rodney/Elizabeth, tag for Adrift/Lifeline) - This is really a gorgeous look at Elizabeth's sense of dislocation in her new nanite-enhanced body, and I loved how the characters' closeness and connection to each other comes through.

Okay, because of holidays and whatnot I have been terribly remiss in posting this, but two of my longer fics were podficced for PodBang at amplificathon. :D :D :D

Long Road Home was read by burnfor:

These links have all the pertinent download information. meeeeeep! Thank you SO much to the podficcers and cover artists, and cybel for making podbooks and sending links to me, wheeeeeee.

Um ... fannish etiquette question for the room. I just received a (really lovely) comment on one of my older stories, and looking back on it, I realized that I never answered a lot of the feedback on that story, going back to spring 2007.

What is a conscientious fan to do? I certainly don't want to leave the new comment unanswered, but I'm trying to figure out if it's less polite to answer one comment without answering them all, or to send feedback for comments that people left *two years ago*, some of whom have probably moved on to other fandoms by now ...

In other news, purimgifts is open for sign-ups! I thought this looked terribly fun last year, but had too many other fannish commitments to manage it. This year, I'm eyeing it with interest; it's a multi-fandom, ficfest gift-a-thon. Explanation and rules post here; signups are here.

The podfic of my story "Even Bonnie and Clyde Had Off Days" is now available as a podbook made by cybel from winkingstar's recording. People are so kind. :)
