Cave-ins, please

[elderwitty]

I'm looking for cave-ins.  Preferably where John and/or Rodney are caved-in on.  McShep is welcome, as is gen. 

Thanks in advance.

I can make up my own tags, right?  *snerk*

http://delicious.com/dossier1013/cave+trapped (http://delicious.com/dossier1013/cave+trapped) That's eight stories, a couple of which are gen. Vee's 'Eurydice Turns Left' on that list is gen but a really fantastic team-y story.

Gee, no, but according to our rules, it would make my duties around here a lot easier if you used some of the many already existing ones that fit.

A quick check of the tagged list above showed me that this fic by fiercelydreamed wasn't on the list. It's McShep. John and Rodney are trapped in a very small space together after a cave-in. It's beautifully written of course, in-character (hilariously so at one key point), and very hot: Must be Raining (http://fiercelydreamed.livejournal.com/13922.html)

Thanks for the recs. Sorry it took so long to reply. I thought y'all were ignoring me because I wasn't getting the notifications. Dang hotmail!

Thanks again. I'm going over now - don't look for me for awhile. :>

[elderwitty]

Thank you so much. Sorry for the delay in replying. Apparently, hotmail doesn't like the new IP address yet.

I'm off to read right after I finish dossier's del.ici.ous recs.

Sorry for the delay in replying. Hotmail hates me. Or LJ's new IP addy, whichever.

Sorry (also) about the tag thing. I did use their names, but not the full names. (Couldn't see the tags while I was composing the email - and so forgot y'all use full names. Totally my bad.) Wasn't sure I should use the 'gen' tag, since I said McShep was fine. So I just use 'em all, every one that could possibly fit?

I think I have a better grasp for the next time.

The trick is to post the request first, then click on the 'edit/add tags link' that shows up, and *then* choose from all the available tags.

And, basically, choose any and all that fit and that are actually voiced in your request, but not any and all that might possibly probably be nice to get recs for, as that gives a whole new name to overtagging (and yeah, it's been done before more than once, hence me being the grumpy voice of tagging experience).

I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it. :)

Poor overworked Debris. You know we love you, right?

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

I love each and every one of you *smooches* - which is why I whine a lot but tag all the darn posts, anyway. :-)

A-HA! And also, Eureka! I knew there had to be some trick to it besides having a prodigious memory. Can I suggest putting that tip on the Comm Guidelines page, to help the LJ-unsavvy among us? By which I mean the me that I was five minutes ago. :>

Hmmm, I see. So my request would have fit 'gen', 'Sheppard/McKay', and 'h/c', maybe? As well as the ever popular 'miscellaneous?'

I think I may even be able to do it right next time.

If you want, I could do penance by replacing those hated "Link in comments" comments with actual links. Copy and paste, takes 2 seconds. I've got the time.

[elderwitty]

I did, indeed, enjoy it very much. Stuck it in my del.ici.ous, as a matter of fact.

Thanks again!

Of course, I was up 'til 8:30am reading them all, but it's okay. I slept in. Thank God for holidays off.

fiercelydreamed rocks, always.:)

We've all been there.*g*

*facepalm* You know, I keep repeating that explanation in almost every tagging-related admin post I make, I dunno why it never occured to me to just edit the darn Rules to have it, as well. Well, off to do that now, I guess. (Thanks for the shove in the right direction!)

As for your last comment, I dunno what you're talking about as this post of yours has no such comments (perhaps you're thinking of the other comm which *ask people strongly nicely to do just that?) but your post is fine.

And to end with a further hint about learning how to tag - going back a page or two of posts here and checking the posts and what tags they have will give you a fairly basic idea of what goes where when. :-) That's all the wisdom there is, I promise - I tag by experience as well.

You were too busy re-tagging the posts of we LJ-illiterati.

(Thanks for the shove in the right direction!)

Hey, yeah! That was my cunning plan from the beginning. I faked ignorance to point out a flaw in the security system. I'm not stealing these diamonds, I swear.
*Calvin (and Hobbes)-esque grin*

perhaps you're thinking of the other comm

I was. I joined them both right close together and apparently have not been distinguishing them as well as I ought.

Thanks for the further tag tips.
