General appeal to episode tag authors!

[fignewton]

Lots of people wrote episode tags for the second half of S10 when those episodes first aired outside the United States. These authors, for the most part, were courteous enough to warn potential readers that their fics contained spoilers for those eps, and like many other readers out there, I didn't read them.

But now the episodes are airing in the States, and everyone is busy playing catch-up. So what happens to all those fics that we didn't manage to read when they were first posted? sg1_debrief has all the back issues available, of course; but fics there are categorized by pairing, not by subject matter, and not everyone is a member of the newsletter. (why not?)

I'm appealing to fanfic writers to post links to their episode tags as the related episode airs, so that all of us can enjoy them. Or maybe someone could create a new comm specifically for that purpose, where authors could post links to their own LJ posts. Either way, it would be of mutual benefit for everybody: the authors would get more readers, the readers would get more fics, and even those readers who caught the stories the first time around might want to enjoy reading them again! :)

Hey, I'm always greedy for more good fic to read. :)

Yeah, I was planning on doing that already, but I was worried it would look like I was whoring for feedback. Which...I kind of am, but at least now I know that at least some readers want me to do it. ;)

That's why I wondered if a new comm might be the best way to go - if the community is specifically for that purpose, no one would need to feel uncomfortable. And this reader definitely wants a chance to read all the missed stories!

Done! Because I am a shameless fedback whore *g*.
