July-October fandom, fic, recs

Good grief! The tag is monthly review, not every four months! Ah, well.

Part of the reason I was so neglectful is that I spent three months being mostly absent fannishly (outside of reccing). So here's the quick roundup of the state of the Fig since June:

In fandom: We celebrated SG-1 Gen Fic Day and cooked up some delightfully varied SGC Alphabet Soup.

In fic: I wrote only two, both this past month:

V is for Victuals. My Soup contribution. Aliens, civilians, military personnel -- they all need feeding. That's Sophie's job, and she's proud to do it. No real spoilers. 510 words. Rated G.

A Most Successful Treasure Hunt (PG-13). Pre-series Vala, trying to find enough trinkets to keep going. Includes spoilers for her backstory. 1,730 words. Rated PG-13 for references to certain Goa'uld habits.

( four months' worth of recs behind the cut )

In other reccing news, poor neglected sg1genrecs now has a new theme: the edges of canon. I think it's got lots of interesting potential. Hope to see some nice recs there.

I'll have more reccing news for you at the end of the week, or possibly the beginning of next. Meanwhile, if you are interested in reccing at stargateficrec, the volunteer post should be up on the comm in the next day or so.
