[shortnudel.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone,
I´m heading of for a week at the beach (thank you god, finally) and I´m looking for a few good and most importantly, long ( 50 sites or more) fanfics to read there.
I would love gen McKay and Sheppard friendship, but slash would be fine too. I´ll be greatfull for every rec you give me.

Sorry, I'm ignorant--what does "50 sites or more" mean? I know word-count or Kb/Mb file-size but not that....


(Also, channeling a mod with no right to do so: please edit your post to add tags. It helps newer folks like me find searches other people have already done. :-)

ANYTHING by Xanthe: www.xanthe.org Most are quite long, all are very good. SLASH - McShep and McBeckShep

I've got a bunch of ideas, but no current time to link 'em up - I'll come back later. Sorry for the rush.

auburnnothenna is a wonderful writer who's written a staggering number of very lengthy stories and series (http://www.eternalvox.net/auburn/fiction.html#atlantis-fic). I particularly like The Mute Shepherd, Patchwork, The Taste of Apples, Sacrificial Drift, Judas Doesn't Answer, and the classic In the City of Seven Walls. But really, it's just a matter of taste... they're all good.

SGA Big Bang has three years' worth of novel length stories in all categories.

Also, try sga_santa and mcshep_match. Both comms have plenty of stories, long and short, to keep you entertained. :)

All of these have happy endings. Most of the slash stories are NC-17

I second the rec of SGA Big Bang. I really enjoyed Every Day in Every Way (slash) http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/?view=fic&id=8

Ordinary Life (slash) http://trickster.org/speranza/cesper/ordinarylife.html

Transcendental (slash) http://intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/transcendental.html

Sheherazade (gen) with McKay/Sheppard friendship.

I've also been looking through ultimateficarchiver's bookmarks. The word count and series tags might be helpful. http://delicious.com/ultimateficarchiver/sga+mckay%2Fsheppard

Becoming Connor Davids by race_the_ace http://wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=14777&warning=12 is over 500,000 words and is Complete its slash John/OMC with a good amount of McKay/Sheppard friendship in it.

So many good stories recommended. My choice is never rec'd anymore. Written by the Victors (http://www.trickster.org/speranza/cesper/Victors.html). No idea why.

[shortnudel.livejournal.com]

Sorry english isn´t my first language, I meant to say 50 Pages. I don´t know exactly but I think it´s a word count of 30,000.
I also added the tags, don´t konw what happened, I was sure I added them the first time. Didn´t mean to go against the rules.

[shortnudel.livejournal.com]

wow thank you so many recs, I should prolong my vacation. *g*

[shortnudel.livejournal.com]

I´m gratefull for every rec thank you.

[shortnudel.livejournal.com]

Ohh I think I read The Mute Shepherd, haven´t read the rest though. Thank you.

[shortnudel.livejournal.com]

Saddly enough I read everything of interest (at least to me) on SGA Big Bang. But thanks for the ohter two tipps.

[shortnudel.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I can´t wait, a week at the beach in the sun, happy place.
And thanks for the rec.

[shortnudel.livejournal.com]

Thank you, happy ending is a must. Don´t want to be depresed in my holliday.

[shortnudel.livejournal.com]

So many recs, can´t wait to check them out, thank you.

[shortnudel.livejournal.com]

Well thank you for reccing it than. I´ll take a look.

And, if it's not too late, That Which is Broken (http://friendshipper.laylalawlor.com/broken.shtml), by Friendshipper. I'm not sure just how long it is, but I'm pretty sure it's over 30,000 words. Gen.

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

Maybe because everyone assumes everyone else (including the OP) already has it bookmarked and saved and re-re-read? ;)
I suspect there's a handful or two of stories like that, where request-answerers think they're so obvious or assume everyone's read those so no need to rec/remind readers of them, except often it turns out that not quite everyone's read them after all...

[hickman1937.livejournal.com]

I agree.
