Stories where someone is building/making something for fun rather than work

[sgafanficreader.livejournal.com]

Basically I'm looking for stories where any character makes something for fun rather than survival on Atlantis.

Gen, Slash, Het are all fine – though I'd prefer it if the story focused on the building not the relationship.

No real preferences on who's doing the building either...

ETA: is it possible to have to many tags?

Operation: Keeping Your CO Oblivious is Gen, I think.

Thanks! Though I actually just read this one - which prompted my search for others. :O)

sga_flashfic had a buildings and food challenge here (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/tag/buildings+and+food+challenge). Does that count?

[sgafanficreader.livejournal.com]

Hmm... looks like some of them might count. Thank you!

There are a couple that I can remember vaguely... Heightmeyer and marshmallows, iirc. Or was it crackers? Can't remember. It was a quite lovely little character piece. Short, but lovely.

Then there was the one with the team (not sure if it was Ronon or Ford) with Zelenka, I think, and mashed potatoes.

As you can tell, everything is very vague. *does the Rodney hand wave thing* With all of the SGA fics, I am lucky I can remember what I read 5 mins ago. Plus, I am horrible at tagging things in del.icio.us.

Glad I help some though despite my incompetence.

It did turn out that most of them were about food (which made me hungry) rather than building. But still good stories! And one of them was a story I had forgotten and was happy to find again!

I suppose this one may just count:

Infinite Recursion (http://ivy03.livejournal.com/193117.html) by Ivy -- can be seen as JohnRodney friendship or McShep

I love that one! Thanks!

I think there *is* such a thing as too many tags, in this case :-) so I removed the character ones - how about you add a few of 'em after you've received a nice number of recs, adding ones that fit the stories? That way you'd still have character tags for later finding, but not every single character tag in the book.

Yeah sorry about that. I tried to delete some of them shortly after I posted but it wouldn't let me.... I'll do better next time I swear!

Unfortunately, only mods can delete already added tags from an entry - lj is wonky that way, so I can't help with that other than to delete tags for others. Otherwise, you did well!
