Wow. Over forty stories in the [profile] sd_ficathon ! It's great to see Sam and Daniel getting so much love. :)

I'm going to take it slowly, reading one or two fics per day, so I can enjoy these properly. [profile] abyssinia4077 beat me to volunteering for the Sam and Daniel friendship category for [community profile] stargateficrec next month, but I've got our Wonder Twins in July, and I don't think Abyssis will manage to steal all of my recs away from me! :)

Those of you who wrote actually Sam/Daniel pairings with higher ratings won't be offended, I hope, if I skip those. It's my gen genes, y'see. I will try to look over the Sam/Daniel fics with lower ratings.

Thank you to [personal profile] aurora_novarum, who did such a lovely job of writing my prompt, and to [profile] niamaea for liking what I did with hers! :)

I get that. In my previous fandom the stories were all either gen or slash - predominately gen, with most of the slash not going beyond a single kiss (or implied kiss) so I didn't encounter lots of explicit fic until Stargate and...it made me squirm. I think a long time ago I wrote about this in more detail, but I feel like I'm invading the privacy of the characters and actors somehow and that makes me feel awkward. So if I'm going to read a story with those elements, it has to have enough of the rest (character insights, interesting plot, etc) to make the discomfort worth it.

I agree SG-1 shines in the teamy goodness moments - but, for me, it's also the first fandom where I've found myself curious to really read the ship fics also - just not the ones that don't also acknowledge the importance of the rest of the team :)

Yay halfway through! I get to start soon...
