Flist, I need your help

[misscam]

So, I am like the slowest slowpoke in picking up new stuff, but I have finally got a del.icio.us account and it really is as smashing as you all told me to use.

But! I have moved computers and lost so many of my links and gotten new fandoms and to put it bluntly, I need links. I feel so sadly short on them.

Rec me fic! Doesn't matter if I've read it before, I've probably lost the link. You should have some idea what I like - character stuff, ship stuff, not the fluffiest kind. Doctor Who, Batttlestar Galactica, CSI (somewhat), bit of Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, various other things you know I like. Rec me your own stuff too! Modesty is for Norwegians.

Please, please, please...? I offer cyber-adoration for all.

Also, have sent new fic to beta. You can blame that one on falena84 as well. She's on a roll of challenging me lately, it seems.

In the news:
Web users more 'selfish' now.
Hairdresser loses dead fly case.
Further cracking of the Arctic ice.
Clashes in Naples over garbage.
Strike hits Norway.

*igoners Naples news links purposely because is in a good mood for once*

I did post quite a few BSG recs for Saz last night .

And if you look in my memories I have loads of fic saved there, neatly classified and everything. Plus, we share many fandoms and you know our fic tastes are compatible, at least.

I'm more than willing to take the blame when you commit fic. :P

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I know, I added that link to my list under recs :P I is sneaky. But I'll poke through your memories, see what is to my liking.

How good. I'll remember to stick it more on you. Make me write!

[falena]

Sneaky Viking.

Do share if you find something good (I'm kinda desperate for Helo/Sharon fic). I bookmarked your delicious page but knowing me I'll forget to go check it very soon.

I distinctly remember you telling me you had five fic ideas to develop, so it's not like you need help in the inspiration department.
But I can take out the whip and be very intimidating (despite the fact that I'm tiny and not at all scary-looking. And too easily defeated by tickling), if working under pressure is your kind of thing.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Tried crack_vanBSG tag and there's at least one Sharon/Helo.

Oh, I always have ideas. Problem with me is to get me to work on them. Feeling like I'm doing an assignment seems to help at times, or just general interest. I'm easily lazy, oh yes.

[falena]

I tried crack_van already. Sadly it seemed to be dominated by Kara/Lee mostly.

And so is most of fandom.

Woes.

I hate it when I'm not hugely into the most popular pairing.

Thank God A/R seems to be the second most prolific pairing.

It'll be my pleasure to harass you, no worries. ;)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Would you believe lotus79 just bitched to me about being into an unpopular pairing when her pick is Kara/Lee? I mean, honestly.

A/R seems to have quite the surge, yeah. From all accounts, the show seems to be actively feeding it, which just means lots more fic. Yay!

I was thinking about doing a Helo/Sharon & Adama/Roslin one as a sort of take on what love is - human love, Cylon love, life as love, blah blah. But it's very vague in my head still.

[falena]

Duh, under what sort of huge rock is she living? (Ayer's rock, probably Okay, bad joke, I know).

It's good to ship canonically, sometimes, oh yeah.

I like your vague ideas. Unvague them stat.
Plus, it totally sounds right up your alley. Your DW romance's strongest suit is the exploration of what it means to love for an alien/humans.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

Very bad joke. :P And we aren't supposed to call it Ayers Rock anymore, it's Uluru. And I've never seen it, seeing as it would take about 3 days to drive there from here. Could fit the length of Italy in there and have 500km to spare. But I am being a smart arse and digressing.

And also I just wonder why I always get turned on by the dysfunctional ships. Issues, much?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

She's just miffed I'm not writing it for her. Even when I stuck a little bit of it in my fic, she wasn't happy. Hmpf.

It is! But the wait for new episodes is kinda maddening then, because new episodes can bring new aspects to your ship all the time. Need more episodes!

Unvaguing is hard :P But the idea was sort of having Hera as the link - last episode revealed she too has those dreams Athena and Laura had, so I thought maybe having a fic with Hera as a sort of 'dreamwalker', actually projecting into what they're dreaming and take it from there with my usual ways. I wrote a tiny bit of that in the last fic, with Hera dreaming of Earth and I liked the idea.

Eh well, we'll see.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

I didn't mean it like that, meanie. :P

Just that it sucks that I have to be contrary and go for the pairing neither of the ppl who got me hooked on this damned crack fandom are into. I mean who am I meant to squee with?

I know I could go make new friends, but I don't like making new friends. I am antisocial.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Oh come on, babe, not sharing ship is like tradition with us! When do we ever go for the same thing? I mean, even with Doctor/Rose you were totally into Five/Tegan and I wasn't. And before that, we got years of being into totally different things, right back to how we met.

So there. This is completely as it should be.

[siraj.livejournal.com]

Well, I do have one rec... Vathara, on Fanfiction.net. Her stuff's REALLY good, even if it's not in your usual fandoms. Rurouni Kenshin, Stargate SG-1, Gargoyles, Godzilla...

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Sadly, the only fandom I'm even remotely familiar with there is Stargate, and even then not enough that I think I could enjoy fic for it... Think I've only seen five episodes total.

[siraj.livejournal.com]

if the Stargate season torrents didn't take so long that Odin, Anubis and Inari started playing cards to keep from being bored, I'd toss them at you.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Heh. No worries, if I wanted to watch it, I could. I just haven't really cared enough, I guess.

[siraj.livejournal.com]

it does take some getting into.

[rivrea.livejournal.com]

I've got about 50 BSG recs and a dozen of "Doctor Who" stories in my LJ memories, although I don't know if they are to your taste: The BSG ones are mostly, but not quite exclusively Kara/Lee, and the DW stuff is mostly gen.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Ah, but lotus79 is craving Kara/Lee like mad, so I'm just going to direct her there. She'll be very happy, yes.

Not my thing, but pleasing friends is also good :)

DW gen can be awesome, so I'll poke through that.

[rivrea.livejournal.com]

Glad I could be of some use then! And as I've just read lotus79 ranting against fic of the "fluffy hearts and bunnies" variety in one of her comments above, I can assure you two that you won't find any of that in my memories. (Uh, and as self-pimping is allowed, I once wrote a totally self-indulgent Kara/lee AU non-gratuitous angstfest, too. :D)

I've just gone through my BSG recs again -- maybe those Laura-centric stories might interest you, too:

-- Unanswered
-- Five Deaths
-- The Kindly Ones

And there's also a very good Cain-centric genfic (written before "Razor", though) and a very chilling
post-S3 Tigh AU.

Of the DW recs in my memories, you should definitely try the cross-over with "Gone with the Wind". No, really.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

*makes mental note of all this*

These fics will all be read and enjoyed, oh yes. When I have time, which may not be til after I'm dead, but oh well. Thankyou!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I really liked the Five Deaths one. I'll check out the others too, and pass the K/L one on to Saz. She's a greedy beast.

That crossover sounds scary, but maybe that's why it will work, heh.

[bluerosefairy.livejournal.com]

Anything I've saved on my del.icio.us can be found here. Lots of BSG, some Who, some Torchwood, and other fandoms I am not sure you'd be interested in, but you're welcome to browse. And ooh, what's your del.icio.us name? If you don't mind, I'd like to add you over there.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

camillasandman ;) Didn't know you could add people there, but feel free!

I'll take a look at yours when work hasn't totally left me braindead. Yowza.

[canadian-kazz.livejournal.com]

My TARDIS 100 fics. As I recall, you liked some of them. :)

[elvenpiratelady.livejournal.com]

Right, here goes:

Ten Things That Are Almost Absolutely True About Martha Jones, and One Thing That's True About the Doctor
Providence. Not all the monsters in the TARDIS are locked safely in the attic.
With Her Own Wings. Martha was once the Doctor's maid. Now the Doctor seems to be Martha's secretary.
Dead Worlds. The Doctor takes Lucy Saxon onboard the TARDIS to travel with him, and Lucy finds that one mad alien is much like another.
Vexed To Nightmare By A Rocking Cradle. Rose was telling the truth. But she was also lying.

And to take a break from all the Whofic, The Machine That Changed the World from LOTR.
