Actually, my question was for Falcon Horus, but that's okay.
Spoiler:I should probably warn you that ATWLB will have a romantic subplot for part of its length, if you haven't already read that far. The romance isn't the primary focus, however; it is there as a necessary feature that drives two elements of the main plot.Sum, ergo scribo...

I saw Goa'uld in one of the summaries, and automatically my brain linked it to SG1.
Originally posted by SF_and_Coffee View PostPerhaps it would help if we knew which series you ARE interested in? Much easier to make recs if you know that someone ONLY wants to read, say, SGU fanfic, for example.
Hell, my favorite character is a 5-episode guest character (SGA)... I guess you could say I'm a picky reader. I apologize in advance.
However, I subscribed to the thread in hoping to find something new to read... so far... that hasn't happened but who knows what else is out there that has yet to be recced by the fans.

Well, "gen" is pretty much a fanfic term in general, not limited to GW. Here is a decent list of terms and their explanations. At that link, "gen" fic is defined thus:
"General" or non-romantic, used as an official subgenre category on many archives, including fanfiction.net. There is some controversy about what qualifies as a "gen fic", but usually it denotes a story in which any and all romance is a background element of the story and there is no sex, while the main plot centers around non-romantic themes.
"Gen fics" also tend to lack a specific focus of any kind. They are not focused around any particular genre (romance, comedy or humor, tragedy or angst, adventure, drama, fantasy, horror, mystery, sci-fi, suspense, etc.). If the author can't fit his or her story in to one (or sometimes two) of those categories, he or she may label it a "general" fic.Last edited by SF_and_Coffee; 20 April 2011, 01:16 PM.Sum, ergo scribo...

I'm a femslasher by nature.

Originally posted by WraithRichard View Postknow the question isn't directed at me, but what does this word mean? I'm not used to the slang around here yet.Gen = general
It means that the story is not focused on a romantic relationship. It's, I guess, as close as to what you would see in an episode. (I think)
Edit: Nevermind, SF_and_Coffee explains it better.
Edit 2: Is there a thread out there in which people can post their preference or is this place as good as any?Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

Originally posted by WraithRichard View PostNo, that's my story Burn it All Away. Sadly, most characters are male and I'm not sure you'd care for the females (not sure what you're looking for).
So, when Manhood becomes available - I'm sure to be hearing about it.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

I like my female characters strong and independent, too. That's true whether I'm writing fanfic or original fiction. Even if I depict a romantic relationship (and I only write het relationships, simply because they're the only kind I have direct experience with), I take care not to portray the woman as passive. She is always an active partner, and even the aggressor at times whether in initiating the relationship, moving it forward, or in intimate moments.
I do have one future story in the works that depicts a female character who winds up waiting for a man who is grappling with his own issues, but even there, the woman in question handles things in her own way, with an eye to her own needs, and has a life of her own. When the story eventually brings them back into each other's lives, she is pretty clear with him about what she needs, wants and expects from him. She is very understanding of his own issues and flaws (because the ability to forgive is a strength in and of itself) but she doesn't take any shyte from him, and he respects her greatly for that very reason.Sum, ergo scribo...
