Pol - I would agree with you. Yours ate complete, self-contained chapters which makes it exciting when another one gets written - it's like reading a favorite book series
Rachel's 'aftershocks' series is like that. Each story is stand alone, but together they make a whole experience.
IMHO Rachel's "Aftershocks" should be printed and bundled together with the DVDs - it's such a great experience to read them after watching an episode...

Agreed! It's like getting a bonus episode for every SG-1 (with the ship that should have been there).

Gen's fics are some of my favorites. She may take weeks or months between posting stories but when she does they are already finished and is just posting a chapter a day.
Gen has also joined with a collaborator recently, Amiga whose excellent Photoshop skills are used to great effect in illustrating Gen's recent fics.
Back when Gail had her webpage, there was an illustrated version of this fic. I managed to save the pics used and incorporate them (using my preferred formatting) into my local copy of Twilight.
Yes, she has some good stories. Amiga's illustrations are amazing.
That can change, though. For example, I was reading his huge House fic (and huge means way over 500,000 words!) and the author updated practically every day. So, the updates stopped suddenly. She took months to start updating again, and by that time I had forgotten where exactly I had stopped reading, so I have yet to find that point so I can finish the fic. And the fic is still not marked complete, she posted some 10-15 chapters and stopped again.
I've had similar experiences, but with SJ authors. That's why, for some writers, I'll hold off reading until they're done. My memory is like a sieve, and I usually don't remember the details of a story if it has been left hanging for awhile.
The link to "What Will it Take" goes to Akamaimom's "Paradise Bound".
The link to "Cheap" goes to "Stitches" by literatiwannabe.
The link to "A Rush of Blood to the Head" iin the "short" category is broken.
The link for "Airports" goes to "Winning" by a. loquita
The link to "Character" in Angst goes to "Mimesis".
Sorry to be nitpicky. I've been working my way through the stories I haven't read prior to this, and came across those.
Thanks. I knew there would be some problems so I appreciate the help finding them so I can fix it.
Edit: OK, I've checked all the links. AO3 is down atm, but all the ff.net and lj links should be corrected and working now. Please let me now if you have any other problems.
THanks. I knew there would be some problems so I appreciate the help finding them so I can fix it.
I didn't go through the whole list yesterday. But this morning, I tried the links on some of the others and found that these also go to the wrong story:
Angst: "Character"
Fluff: "The Inlaws"
Cross-over: "Smokescreen"; "Destiny"
AU: "Sam and Jack Meet at College"
Team: "Let go and Hold On"

I went through all of them this morning and found the mistake I made in the coding that was sending you to the wrong link. Go back and check them again. As of 11:53 am they all worked for me.
The link for Annerb's A Rush of Blood to the Head still does not work. Get a message that the link is broken from Live Journal. But when I clicked on it in the Appreciation thread, it worked.
