One week to go: SG-1 Gen Fic Day!

Just to remind you all: a week from today, on August 24th, we will be celebrating SG-1 Gen Fic Day!

The official Gen Fic Day post goes up next Monday, and everyone (and their robot doubles) can post commentfic and recs as well as links to new gen fic, old gen fic, WIPs, podfic, and anything else that might fit. As long as it's SG-1 and gen, it's welcome!

In addition, the 26 contributors to Jacob Alphabet Soup will link to their Alphabet Soup ficlets at the Gen Fic Day post. (If you're a soup contributor, click here for detailed instructions on the posting process.)

A round-up post for Gen Fic Day and an anthology entry for Jacob Alphabet Soup will be posted on the 25th.

Here's to gen fic and SG-1 squee!

Celebrating 500!

Today, I made my 500th rec over at stargateficrec and figs_sg1_rec since I first started reccing gen fic on April 2nd, 2006.

I'm, um, a little overwhelmed, here. :)

To celebrate, I've linked to some of my personal favorites here - only one per author, even when that was almost impossible! Many of these overlap multiple categories, but I did the best I could. And I want to thank the authors who continue to write such fabulous stories, the readers who offer me feeback by leaving comments at stories I've recced, and the people who have taken the time to let me know in other ways how much they enjoy the recs. When I first started reccing, I never dreamed it would become a full-blown vocation of love, but... well, here we are!

Keep reading and writing and reccing, guys. And thanks for being part of the best little corner of the fandom ever.

::squishes all of you::

( best character fics )

( best humor fics )

( best AU fics )

( best futurefics )

( best novel-length fics )

( best teamfics )

( best drama fics )

I have to admit these 33 fics don't even begin to scratch the surface, but... five hundred recs. Yeah. :)

Care to join the celebration? Leave links here to your personal gen favorites (not your own, please). Or wander over to sg1genrecs (my DW baby) and rec a story or two there. Keep spreading the gen squee!

and if someone out there might care to make me a reccing icon, I wouldn't exactly complain...
