Didn't they use Psychic Wars (or a tiny piece of it) in one episode?
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

How to tell if you are a geek
You spend a few hours creating an Access database for all your saved SGA fics with fields for the various categories the fic falls under---and you enjoy the heck out of it.
I used a program I found that created a spreadsheet from my directories of stories, then I fiddled with the spreadsheet so I could import the data into Access, then I tweaked various columns, deciding on what I would want to search by.
I am a geek, the tag that never closes. Now I can say, "I want to read that fic where the team all get turned into wolves, what was the name of it again?" Now to see if I can create hyperlinks in Access to the files on my hard drive.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I do like that one better than another one with a similar story line--of Ruby keeping Dean's body alive for the re-home. Bobby's really the gateway character for this scene. I think it has to be an outsider POV because there's no there there in Sam's head right now. I've seen a couple from the POV of the dad or the mom that were effective, but I think Bobby's the strongest way to get there.
And I love the last paragraph or so in this one.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I am SO carving out time to read the last five or so chapters this week (I am behind in all my, umm, non-Dark Angel reading--DO NOT JUDGE ME!!!).

I'm in no position to judge, since I still haven't read Big Pink's latest.

Yeah, but you're not reading 100k epic hetronormative gender essentialist OOC crapfests with dubious spelling just for a questionable OTP fix. So, you know. Umm.
You probably have a real excuse, you know?

Oh plei. I love you. I love you more when you can actually find good stories in all that dross.

It is HARD work, I tell you. I'm back doing the del.icio.us hunt now, for things I might have missed when I took a break from it last year. The bulk of activity is at the Pit, which means anything considered more "adult" is off in a disorganized elsewhere.
It's sad when the source is better than the fic, especially when you consider the source.
(I have a collection of Worst Of that I keep. I send links to things with the subject of Trainrec. The dross is not without its own sort of pleasure.)
