Yay!

In ARRRRGGGHHH!!!! news, I've been trying for two days to post a chapter of the story-that-won't-die to ff.net, and it keeps coming up with the formatting all frelled up. That's after finally getting it to post the entire chapter and not cutting it off in the middle of things.

I wish they hadn't made the site so 'helpful'. I can't get anything to post properly anymore.

Last thing I posted there, my asterisks I had dividing sections got eaten. I tried to fix it three times and then just stopped caring.

That happened to me, too, except I use ###s instead of ***s. It didn't stop the carnage.

Yeah, I finally caved and did the dividing line they've got as one of their pre-sets. I don't like it, but it was easier than trying to work around it.

Best Vagina Euphemism Ever.

Via mastermind Consuela, who is barred from here during working hours:

Please, spread this word around: in order to honor the fantabulous shrift, who is working too hard these days and who does so much for fans and fandom, some of her friends have started the LJ community slounger. Today is the day we will be posting fic and other goodies for Shrift, to let her know how much we appreciate her.

Anyone is welcome to join the community and post enthusiastic things about Shrift, who rocks mightily, yea.

C'mon over and join the fun!

Alright, I'll break down and ask.

Anybody have any recs for good SG-1 Jack/Sam? Bonus points for happyfun stories.

There's...well, a lot of...crap. I'll just say it. Crap. Out there. And not in the fun badfic way.

Aha! I will save you, Debetesse!

The best Jack/Sam shippers are Nanda (Nandamai on LJ), Jul (Splash_the_Cat on LJ), and Nos (Nostalgia_lj). Oh, and Elly. I have some Sam/Jack recs here, but I have to admit most of the Sam/Jack I've read isn't that great because there are such enormous barriers to the relationship, and the vast majority of the writers don't really handle it well. The absolute best Sam/Jack is, IMHO, Nanda's Resolution and the horrifying aftermath in Salvage. Links on that page above.

For the love of all that is holy, stay away from the Pit of Voles. The recs on Bright Shiny Objects are very good; the recs on Crack_Van are sometimes good, other times not so good. Both will have a preponderance of slash; it's my considered opinion that most of the better writers in the fandom write Jack/Daniel, but I couldn't tell you why.

And if you're looking for yummy threesomes, check out Katie's stuff [link] or Salieri. [link] Good stuff there. More links in my post above.

Yeah, I looked through the Crack_Van archives. Not much there (lots and lots of Jack/Daniel), and, yes, very spotty. Also tending toward the angsty, which I am not inherently opposed to, but it's good to lighten up sometimes, you know?

I was so hopeful, since I'd found a ship that's actually canon...maybe that's why people aren't writing it (well).

Thank you muchly.
