[identity profile] lavvyan.livejournal.com posting in [community profile] sgarecfinders
[livejournal.com profile] yaoi_no_kokoro pointed us towards [livejournal.com profile] keiramarcos's Author Appreciation Day post. While this isn't the right place for that kind of advertising (unless you're a mod and citing it as inspiration), we are first and foremost a community dedicated to reccing.

So in the spirit of appreciation days the world over, we invite you to rec your favourite fannish everythings and everyones: the comms, the artists, the vidders, the layout-creators, the podfic readers, the reviewers, the reccers, the resources, the commenters, the newsletter editors, the mods, the icon-makers, the lurkers if you know them, the off-LJ sites, and yes, the writers.

(Two things: 1) This is not a popularity contest. 2) We highly encourage you to rec people, places and anything that's not a story. You can rec your favourite fics here, but we have a lot of those entries already and it's mostly the same candidates. This is about all of fandom.)

Have fun!

ETA: We are, of course, still SGA Genre Finders. Other fandoms are awesomesauce, but not the point of this post. :)

My bad. I wasn't thinking. I just saw "fandom" and forgot where I was entirely. I'd claim old age but I'm not even 40 yet.

mmm.

My fave Stargate places are:

Recently discovered the comm [livejournal.com profile] epic_recs, where a handful of reccers focus on longer, well written fic -- many of my favorite SGA stories have been recced there (http://community.livejournal.com/epic_recs/tag/fandom%3A%20stargate%20atlantis). :)

Podfic: I just listened to My First Podfic(tm) -- Written by the Victors (http://community.livejournal.com/sgapodfic/48395.html) as produced by Image (http://lim.dreamwidth.org/profile)lim (http://lim.dreamwidth.org/) for the story by [livejournal.com profile] cesperanza which features as readers many regular commenters and regularly recced writers here. I may be slightly spoiled for other podfics now?

Artists/vidders: [livejournal.com profile] aesc not only writes cool SGA stories, but hir art is gorgeous. [livejournal.com profile] newkidfan has also illustrated some favorite SGA stories beautifully, and I just discovered a bunch of hir SGA vids. Mmm, dreams (http://newkidfan.livejournal.com/143859.html). And the tree (http://newkidfan.livejournal.com/163585.html). Also for vids, I am addicted to Image (http://lim.dreamwidth.org/profile)lim (http://lim.dreamwidth.org/)'s work (http://www.kekkai.org/lim).

And last, well, I think it's pretty obvious that some of my very favorite comms are this one and sister/cousin comms [livejournal.com profile] sgastoryfinders and [livejournal.com profile] stargate_search -- wonderful resources individually and together -- so a shout-out to the co-mods for these three comms for keeping them fun and pleasant to play in, besides the other fandom-enriching activities the mods engage in! :)

More big ♥ for all of these. The Giant McShep AU List is one of my favorite fandom resources and I've found so many stories thanks to Danceswithgary (and so fast ♥!!) and Skaredykat!

My SGA fandom experience wouldn't even exist, nevermind not be complete, without [livejournal.com profile] sga_noticeboard and [livejournal.com profile] sga_newsletter; the folks who keep them running are heroes, trufax.

And I think it needs saying that all the reccers and fic finders who go out of their to answer requests here or at [livejournal.com profile] sgastoryfinders are just as important in my eyes for keeping the fandom what it is as the fanwork creators themselves. Kudos all around!

This is a fantastic Comm for Parrish/Lorne fic. They're welcoming and it's been a great way to find people who write this pairing.

[livejournal.com profile] somehowunbroken

She is one of the best writers out there. Her Stargate stuff is fantastic and I always look to her for a pick me up.

[livejournal.com profile] clwilson2006

She's brilliant and fantastic. She's also taking over the world with her preferred pairing: Parrish/Lorne

[livejournal.com profile] mcshep_match -- lots of excellent stories throughout the years.

SGA Big Bang (http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/?view=year) and Atlantis Big Bang 2010 (http://archiveofourown.org/collections/2010_stories) for your long fic needs!

Intimidated by the kinkmeme delicious? [livejournal.com profile] almostnever has been reccing kinkmeme fills! She also has good SGA recs in general so check out her SGA Rec tag (http://almostnever.livejournal.com/tag/sga%3A%20recs).

While very specific, the SGA tag (http://www.delicious.com/transfic/stargate_atlantis) on kyuuketsukirui/kanata's Transfic Masterlist is an excellent thematic list.

Speaking of thematic lists, [livejournal.com profile] ratcreature's Thematic Lists (http://www.ratcreature.net/fandom.php#thematiclists) are incredibly fun to browse.

An incredible vid that illustrates incredibly well what I love about SGA (and SG1). The music is epic like the show can get and the editing is phenomenal!! I watch this sucker at least once a month, just to re-new the fannish obsession devotion.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho64kbvjRC4

EDIT: Should add that this vid does possess spoilers for both shows so if you haven't seen either show and don't want to be spoiled, you may want to not watch.

Be prepared to spend many, many hours being entertained.

Also, my favourite two McShep vids of all time:

Thanks for the Memories (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Pqq8jtpsWc) by Eclaire.

ETA: How could I forget to add that [livejournal.com profile] sgastoryfinders is the most awesome place in the universe. It's like story roulette every day, and [livejournal.com profile] debris_k is awesomecakes for running it so well.

Polyamorous Recs page for SGA (http://bifictionalbedlam.slashcity.net/recs/sga.html) is a great resource.

It has a big Gen section, a small Het section, a small Poly section and a very large Slash section. This is an old rec site, so you might find stories from the early days of the fandom that don't get recced around as much now, but it is still going, so there's new stuff too.

A great place for find podfics is of course the Audiofic (http://audiofic.jinjurly.com/category/fandomstargate-atlantis) site I think highly of all of those who are brave enough to post podfics, but some of my favourite readers are hack_benjamin22 and zoetrope

How about the Stargate: Atlantis section of the Audiofic Archive, run by the ever-amazing general_jinjur, and the SGA podfic comm?

In particular, Fayjay's 19-hour epic podfic extravaganza of auburn's story, Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves is an AWESOME AU OF AWESOMENESS....(can you see me flailing?)

Late late late, and most of these comms are already linked upthread, but adding my two cents:

[livejournal.com profile] busaikko's stories are always interesting, human, true; [livejournal.com profile] busaikko is able to find the truth of any situation/pairing.

[livejournal.com profile] almostnever writes delightfully perfect AUs that always make me want to clap with glee.

[livejournal.com profile] lavvyan. The sheer breadth of output; delicious crack, wonderful fairy tales, amazing sci fi. [livejournal.com profile] lavvyan's really just got an incredible breadth of stories, and enough you can revel in them for months.

[livejournal.com profile] chkc has some of the most gorgeous art and adorable chibis ever.

[livejournal.com profile] mashimero has gorgeous art too, and mods [livejournal.com profile] sgareversebang, which is super-awesome.

[livejournal.com profile] sga_santa has great stories (so many, omg!) and delivers a story written just for you. Delightful.

[livejournal.com profile] non_mcsmooch because as much as I love John/Rodney, sometimes I just want to read some Radek/Ronon or Teyla/Elizabeth or Lorne/Cadman.

[livejournal.com profile] sga_flashfic gave me so much inspiration, and has been the source of some of the most incredible stories.

[livejournal.com profile] sgapodfic is what it says on the tin and [livejournal.com profile] general_jinjur is amazing for hosting the audiofic archive.
