But when i think of a recommendation, i'm thinking recommending a specific fic because you've read it and think it's high quality. Col. Shadow Quinn's recs are what i'm talking about (if a bit heavy on teh crossovers ) and i've just taken a look at your own rec, link doesn't work but i think it's on heliopolis.
I've read a few of Quinn's recs and agree that they're well made stories. That's a recommendation that i was glad to get. I think of a recommendaiton like when i walk into a book store. If i ask for good drama, i'd like to get an opinion on why it's a good drama story instead of juts being shown the drama section.
I'll take Mei and Uncle Jack/Anomaly as an example. I stumbled across that when i read WritingInCT's Sam/John fic "Counting in Days". I'd reccomend all three because they're so poignantly written with heartfelt drama and angst, yet there's always a flicker of hope at the end. WritingInCT has written other SG stories as well at the same level of quality, just watch for slashy tones every so often. Counting in Days has terribly beautiful angst since it's an Apoca!fic, yet the ending is sweet and leaves you happy. Same witH Mei's story which i reiterate, is a brilliant mirror image of Sam/Jack which i clearly enjoy. Since there ARE Sam/Jack Shippers here, i recommend that story to anyone who's looking for a dark drama story with great sci-fi, heartfelt romance and angst, and believable characters. I have no qualms saying it's one of my favorites ever AND it has Sam/Jack ship which should tell you just how great it is coming from me of all people.
Like.. that's my idea of a rec. Explain why you love the story and feel the need to share it with others.
