Hi everyone!

In 2005 sga_flashfic had the Harlequin Romance challenge. I'm pulling together a little review of 2005 SGA fanfiction, and I'd like to know:

What are your top five favorite Harlequin romance fics?

I think this listing's better for refreshing our memory. ;)

My choices would be (in no particular order):

Love's Tangled Web by msgordo
Unhealthy Attachment by Amireal
Counterpoint by Nestra
No Refunds or Exchanges by astolat
A Royal Deception by Mandragora

Oh, that's a great listing! Thank you. (No Refunds or Exchanges is my personal favorite. *beams*)

Ooo, I don't think I've read Unhealthy Attachment.

Um. I guess that means you want only the top 5 from 2005 or so, and not a mix-list with anything Harlequin Romance written before and after that, right? Darn. This is gonna be a tough one... hmm...

In a vague order by awesomeness:

"No Refunds or Exchanges" by astolat
"Last Will and Testament" by cesperanza shoot, it's 2006!
"Hero of the Prairie" by neery
"Sting of Destiny" by jade_dragoness
"Second Chances" by z_rayne
"Animal Husbandry" by casspeach

...and about a dozen or so more. You don't ask us to do easy tasks, do you? ;-)

Thank you! Wow, the almost unanimous votes seem to be on:

No Refunds or Exchanges
Animal Husbandry
A Royal Deception

The remaining two are up for grabs. Hee!

He's having her baby! - pru
I know there's more, and I will be perusing the listing on temaris' entry, but this is what you get for now! :-)

Only looking at the challenge entries, my top five would be, in no particular order:

The Brendan Hypothesis, by Smitty
The Convenient Husband, by Brighid
Counterpoint, by Nestra
No Refunds or Exchanges, by astolat
A Royal Deception, by Mandragora

Kellifer's The Blade was originally posted 12/29/2005, but the completed version was slightly later. that's the most vivid one I recall.

Also, the one where they're on a station in the Australian Outback, I think Rodney was a vet and John a ranch hand with a dream? Yeah, no idea when it was posted, I can't recall the name.

I'll second these, too.
The Brendan Hypothesis, by Smitty
The Convenient Husband, by Brighid
A Royal Deception, by Mandragora

I'm betting it was Casspeach's Animal Husbandry.

That sounds like Animal Husbandry to me. :)
