Ah-ha, so my little dance of not linking names worked. Rock. *g* I know, wouldn't it be weird? To put that in the choosing field? And then watching the numbers tick up? Which, at the moment, is 10 requests and 37 offers. Wow.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Synechdochic's "Freedom's Just Another Word for Nothing Left to Lose" won in a GEN category?!?
Well, I actually talked to her about that. And, well, it's more gen than it is slash, really. In the sense that the story is about Rodney and Atlantis and everything he's learned, more than it is about Rodney-and-John.
And the writer picks the category, but you are limited to the categories they make available to you. If I'd put Wartime in the gen category I would have been able to put it in Action-Adventure, and would probably have had a better chance of winning than in Multiples-Series, which was very small, but which people were reading for the multiple-snogging rather than for the plot. Or so I suspect.
But Wartime isn't a gen series, except in tone and plottiness: it does indeed have a fairly explicit threesome, and so I was pretty much doomed regardless. ::shrugs::
Anyway, thanks Matt.
No accounting for taste, indeed.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
- pats you* I just about choked when I realized. Well, you know *I* think your story was better than hers.

I tried to read the first story in the series that won. And as soon as I hit Jack calling Sam "baby," I had to stop.
::sigh::
I am old and bitter.

I've been reading the winners. Leaving out the ones I've already read, about half of them I closed out of halfway through.
Otoh, two of those were McKay/Beckett stories, just not my thing, but WTF. And seriously, I read about a third of each, not pairing-wise, but the writing wasn't grabbing me.
And then I was home sick yesterday and all doped up on cold meds. and had the hottest fucking sex dream and it was all about Carson Beckett. WTF?

I have my JBBS assignment. I have my Yuletide assignment. Neither of them make me want to throw myself under a bus.
I am cautiously optimistic.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yuletide assignments are out already?
