Newbie here, looking for long fic.

[janineo.livejournal.com]

Been lurking here for a while, please forgive me if this post isn't suitable. I checked the rules and it seemed ok.

I'm off on hols soon and would love some long SGA fic to put on my Sony Reader.

Can anyone recommend anything? I've read both Big Bangs and wondered what else is out there.

I like Rodney, John, or Ronon centric, most pairings except McKeller or McWeir.
Slash, Het or Gen, Team, Friendship, AU, crossover, canon.

Please no Season 5 spoilers as I have to wait for the DVD's to come out in the UK for that.

Many Thanks,
Janine

Edit: Thanks for all the links, now I have to refrain from reading them till my hols!

One of my fav AU's (though arguably it may not fit the AU's genre as it branches nicely off canon) is Evander's Heir http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3828287/1/Evanders_Heir

The author is almost finished writing a sequel as well-

Thanks, I'll take a look!

Indelible (http://shaenie.livejournal.com/327764.html) by shaenie is long and brilliant McShep at 80k words or so. She wrote it before season 5 started, so I don't think there's any spoilers.

There's a ton more to rec, and mine are going to be almost exclusively McShep, so I'll direct you here, to bookshop's McShep primer (http://bookshop.livejournal.com/958654.html), complete with recs, including the entire output of several amazing authors. There's enough there to read for quite a while.

I second Indelible. Amazing story.

I've read Indelible, but I have to read it again now :o)
Thanks for the link to the primer, lots to look at there!

How about my page? I have a superhero series...

Thank you, sounds interesting!

sardonic smiley has quite a few long length fics, astolat has a few too, off the top of my head.

Auburn ( auburnnothenna on LJ ) writes lots of long fic (http://www.eternalvox.net/%7Eauburn/fiction.html#atlantis-fic). Just a small warning--though her occasional comedy is hilarious, and she has lots of juicy, plotty stories, very little of what she writes can be termed "fluffy" in any way, and for many of the stories, if she hasn't made you cry by the end, you're a much tougher nut to crack than I am, dearie.

If you don't mind stories that make you cry, you might try Leah & my The Body Holographic (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=7849&warning=12).

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I particularly recommend In The City Of Seven Walls (http://www.eternalvox.net/~auburn/citysevenindex.html). Powerful story.

For the fluffiness, I recommend sheafrotherdon's A Farm In Iowa (http://sheafrotherdon.livejournal.com/105567.html) series.

I have an AU, Out Of Bounds (http://www.icarus.slashcity.net/stories/outofbounds.html) that is approximately 200,000 words.

Then there's astolat's A Beautiful Lifetime Event (http://intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/lifetime_event.html).

For more options, you can check out the SGA Big Bang. Also, amothea has a website with stories already formatted for e-readers: The EBook Library (http://amalthia.mediawood.net/ebooks/). She's always ahead of the curve. :)

oh, I loved 'A Farm in Iowa', very cute and fluffy :o)

I will check out the others, and the EBook Library sounds good!
Thanks

[springwoof.livejournal.com]

good point about the e-book library! I'd forgotten about that!

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, I can be found sniffling away on the train into work if the story is emotional enough!
If a story can get you involved enough to cry, then it's definately a good story.

Thank you for the recs, I'll check them out.

[amalthia]

I'm glad someone beat me to linking to the Ebook Library. All the RTF stories on the site should load to your device without any problems. Also, any LRF file at the site is formatted just for the Sony device.

I have a Sony PRS-505 so when I created the site it was with my device in mind however I'm adding more formats for the people who have the Kindle.

[janineo.livejournal.com]

I have PRS-505 too, thank you for making these stories available to everyone.

I'm in the process of transforming some other fanfic into ebooks for my own use. If I get permission from the author, can I send them to you to host too?

[amalthia]

I'd love if you'd be willing to do that! :)

Would you like access to the author permission google spreadsheet first though? That away you don't have to ask the author again if we've already contacted him/her?

Also, if the author is on the site it means we have permission to host their works, we're not asking for specific stories per say.

My email is amalthia at gmail.com please feel free to email me. At work they cut off LJ as a site we could visit.
