    First of all, I'm more into the SciFi general genre with mysteries and suspense and action and cliffhangers and spaceships and SG in general... Next to that I really love a good romance. It doesn't have to be classical romance. It can be tragic, like Romeo&Juliet, I hope that's an example everyone knows, I think so... but on the other hand that's a classical plot again, of course.
    As long as it's well written and thought-out and I don't know, has a 'sparky' "lot's of sparks between the lovers'? And nice romantic elements...
    Plus, you know I'm more into McKeller than Rodney-whump.
    I mean, the main plot is whump. The first genre is whump. And the whole story is in the *first* place about the whump.
    I get bored too easily if there's no whump, but I agree a plot is nice... sometimes!
    I like it more as an extra element. It's more central about Rodney getting into trouble and getting whumped... I like it more when Jennifer is heavily involved or the whole team and the plot is more about Ancient mysteries and such. Like PJM is more whump than let's say Timeless. had great side elements. And I already know Touch of Chaos will too!
    But over that, I of course prefer "Romancing Rodney" or "An night under the stars". Especially the latter!
    All of that smut... so much fun! I personally prefer Need the most as it's a character study for both Rodney and Jennifer. (no links to these as they're above PG)

    I use Puddle Jumper Mayhem to blow off steam after a bad day (I seem to have a lot of those )

    Touch of Chaos had no whump at all in it for a long time... but I couldn't resist! Timeless was the opposite, it had far more whump. I transferred the whump I had envisioned into Veil of Dreams
    However I must admit (Sorry I hope you appreciate my honest opinion.) That I thought Veil of Dreams wasn't that great in the beginning. The end was unbelievable. But I don't know about the beginning and the start-setting... At first I did not like the combination whump/smut in such a contrast. Also, I thought the setting/situation was weird, them immediately jumping each other. Anyway, it's not that I want to bash your or that is was awful, no absolutely not, it was probably not my cup of tea in the beginning. But Oh boy, the end... Plus, it was great writing and the chapter on itself were great. Just the combination, and a little bit the begin plot...

    Veil of Dreams, hmm, that one was quite controversial so don't worry about it! I just needed to get rid of it...

      On the first note: I only mentioned your most recent fics I could remember, you've written so much, it was impossible not to forget one, so I didn't mention all of them, just looked for easy examples.

      Secondly, about VoD. Good! We understand each other!

          LOL!! I enjoy your definition of a pure form of whump. I don't think you could have offended everyone, we all have our own tastes and (hopefully) respect each other for having our own tastes.

          I get bored in fanfiction without whump, too, Varda. I'm getting pretty discouraged in my quest for Lorne whump (I'm pretty sure I've read almost everything out there for it, LOL!), but luckily you've got the McKay whump covered! I can't wait to get to the chapter of PJM you wrote with Lorne in it to, I felt it only fair to read in order, but I so appreciate the favor!! I haven't had a whole lot of time for fic reading in the past week but I hope to get back to PJM soon!! (Will probably sneak in a chapter or two tonight )

            It wasn't really a definition, I just got confused with meaning of the word 'pure'.

            Do you mean 'everyone' or 'someone' or 'anyone'. If you mean everyone, I don't understand what you're saying here... Sorry

                This is one of the most amazing fanfiction stories I've ever read. I would recommend everyone to check it out!
                I think it's so good, it could be easily a plot for a short SGA movie!
                I, of course, especially like, the latest new chapter.

                Thought I'd create a central thread for my new WIP. Feel free to post comments, criticisms, suggestions, discussions etc

                Touch of Chaos 1 The Doorway to Nowhere

                When a mysterious doorway is found on Atlantis, Dr Rodney McKay becomes trapped alone and out of his own reality. He soon discovers that every place where he ends up has one disturbing thing in common and he gets hurt.

                I'll post new chapter updates here as and when I upload them

                Enjoy!

                  In the can't put it down category, Jadedfirefly's The Ninth Chevron is unbelievable.

                  My apologies if you're seeing this in more than one spot, I'm gonna rec it everywhere.

                  Fantastic plot, well-written (NO typo's!!), great grammar, excellent, truly excellent character portrayal's. And, best of all, subtle S/J ship (but not overwhelming for non shipper's).

                  Run, do not walk, to this fic.

                    I beta-d the majority of this fic. I strongly second this rec! It's a really great fic, awesome plot, slightly Carter-focused, though generally a team romp.

                    She started a new one not too long ago. Do Not Go Gentle It's still a WIP but it's just as good and she updates fairly regularly. Carter whump, some great team stuff, less subtle J/S ship but still not to the gawd my eyes! degree (I wouldn't beta it if it was). And what's shaping up to be another good plot.

                    Jadedfirefly is definitely one to keep your eyes on.

                          Hiya,

                          Does anyone know if Yum's Fate's Reflection is in any way shippy?

                          I'm sucked into the first (of 53) chapters and I'd really like to have some 'ship too.

                          Thanks.

                          Gonna crosspost this to the other fic thread, so forewarning.

                              Hi All!

                              After a very long break for RL reasons I have come back to Stargate fandom!! Now I'm looking for several fics that I have lost track of.

                              First, SG1...

                              It's an older fic where the team is captured off-world and the aliens (possibly a renegade Asgard) somehow make Jack telepathic or empathic or something - I believe it's related to the ATA gene. The scene I really remember is towards the end. Jack has been severely whumped throughout the whole story and there is an earth girl who is telepathic also (again, ATA gene) who has been helping them out and she is going to use her powers in order to contact the Asgard who are somewhere nearby, however, she needs Jack's help to do it because it's very draining and demanding. Jack waits until she starts the connection and then takes over so most of the strain is on him and while he gets help for the team he does himself real damage and they aren't sure if they're going to get him back.

                              Second... also SG1

                              Jack is punished by mean aliens for something Daniel touches and breaks. They punish him because he's the leader. The team are kept in a cell made up of some kind of shield and only Jack can leave to go to the platform where he is punished. Lots of Daniel angst and guilt. The rest of the team try and convince Jack to let them take the punishment, but he insists that he does.

                              Thank you!!

                              P.S. I've tried the fic search thread and got nothing. I've also tried a few places on livejournal and can't find it there. So, I'm completey desperate. Help!!

                              Thanks!!
                              McKay'Snark

                                I've been meaning to check this thread out. Glad I did! Lots of nice fan fic to look for...
