Make me laugh? Please?

[imbecamiel.livejournal.com]

Lately work = much stress, and I am very much in need of some good laughs. So to that purpose... Can anyone recommend some good humor fics?

I'm really open as to the type - crackfic, just generally lighthearted fic, whump that turns into humor, humor that turns into whump... I just really want something that'll make me laugh. Only two caveats: please let it be clean (not a bunch of real crude/sexual humor/heavy swearing), and please no slash (unless preslash and/or very easily read as gen).

Shep-centric fics and some shortish fics, that I can read on breaks in-between things, are good, but neither's a necessary. I'm open - please help! :)

Title: The Fall of the Roman Empire
Author: Eildon Rhymer

Summary:In all the scholarly debate about the fall of the Roman Empire, no historian has yet uncovered the role played by a certain speed-obsessed, bare-legged centurion, and a verbose hypocaust engineer called Rodneus.

Kodiak Bear's "Disorientation"

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3032199/1/Disorientation

I think liketheriver's "So Little Space, So Much Time" is very funny, but the entire thing isn't humor..it has dashes of Team love and some H/C, but it cracks me up all teh time.

Oh, these are all wonderful stories! ("The Fall of the Roman Empire" was particularly fun, because I've been taking Latin for a while now *g*) Unfortunately, I've read all of them fairly recently... *sighs wistfully* Sometimes I do wish I could have selective amnesia, just so I could forget having read especially wonderful stories and have the pleasure of reading them for the first time all over again.

I just copied my recs from a recent request on this com

here it is:

[imbecamiel.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I did look at that first, but unfortunately nearly all the recs were slash... :(

I just read 'there's no mystery left' by kiden. It is EVER so funny: http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/716198.html.

Actually... go here: del.icio.us / Kirinin / humor . There you will find all the humorous stories that I thought were worth keeping. Also, anything that was truly special is tagged 'verygood' or 'bestofthebest'. :)

Hope the sit. in RL improves...

Ooo, many thanks! *goes to check it out*

And thanks for the good wishes, as well. :)

Re: with the funny

[kirinin.livejournal.com]

Uh oh... if you don't like slash at all, you might not like a lot of mine... cross 'humor' and 'gen'.

Re: with the funny

[imbecamiel.livejournal.com]

Heh heh, yeah, I saw that... Doing as you suggested, though, I did find some good ones - so thank you very much. :)

*giggles madly* Oh, that one is wonderful! Thank you :)

And this too (though its Rodney-centric, but gen)

Oh, this was so good! I laughed so hard - thank you very much!

[imbecamiel.livejournal.com]

He! Thank you - those are great stories. Definitely gave me some laughs. :)

[tarlanx]

I'm glad :-)

[aqualegia.livejournal.com]

This always cracks me up - although it's listed under slash pairings there is no overt sex in it

Animalia Sequence by Leah

[imbecamiel.livejournal.com]

Hehe... A little on the slashy side for me, but I always get a kick out of animal transformation stories. Thank you!

I mostly read slash, but I found a few genfic that I think are pretty funny.

Bad Choice of Majors (http://community.livejournal.com/havocs_cry/4800.html), by havocthecat. It's an SGA/Buffy crossover, PG, ~2,400 words. There is implied Willow/female, but it's completely off-screen.

Mutually Assured Destruction (http://shrift.livejournal.com/98431.html), by shrift. *Delightfully* funny gen where John and Rodney find themselves in the middle of a mine field. PG, ~1,600 words.

Hands-On Science (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/207546.html), by nindulgence. This fic is more cute than laugh-out-loud funny, but the premise is that John and Rodney meet at the Toronto Science Centre when they're in high school and Rodney gives John a guided tour. Gen, G, ~4,200 words.

Crush (http://soraya2004.livejournal.com/2768.html), by soraya2004. I wasn't sure whether to include this one, as it's clearly pre-slash McKay/Sheppard and Carson/Ford (the fic in fact revolves around characters having crushes on each other), but it's really hysterically funny and the fic ends before any actual relationship/sex/discussion happens, so I thought I'd at least list it and you can decide if you're interested. PG-13, ~2,200 words.

I actually just posted a recs list of 16 SGA fics where characters get turned into animals (http://incidental-fire.livejournal.com/21906.html), and I'd say about a third of them are gen (and there are several pre-slash that basically consist of John and Rodney just sleeping in the same bed at the end [literally sleeping, no euphemisms intended]). So that might be another place to look.

Hope at least a few of these help with your stress!

[imbecamiel.livejournal.com]

Oh, some great stories! And just when I particularly needed them, too (just sent off a project I've been working on for weeks, and waiting to hear what the clients think...). Thank you so much!

[incidental-fire.livejournal.com]

I completely understand that post-project worry - glad you enjoyed the fic!
