Fandom Snowflake Challenge - Day 11

The Fandom Snowflake Challenge
Day 11: In your own space, ask for recs. Something as simple as "I like XYZ (where XYZ is a kink, a pairing, a trope, etc) - please rec me some."

Okay, so, one of my favorite tropes is fake marriage (that then turns into a real relationship). I dunno, I can't seem to get enough. In SGA, I've read most of them, and recced some of them. I'm willing to read this trope in any fandom, so give it to me! Give me your undercover married or marriage of convenience or marriage for citizenship stories. Anything, I'll take it.

Also, while I'm here, should you get this urge when there's not a convenient Fandom Snowflake Challenge going on, try kink_finders.

The Fandom Snowflake Challenge, Day 12

The Fandom Snowflake Challenge
Day 12: In your own space, rec at least three fanworks that you think would make a good intro into XYZ fandom. Rec a fandom overview, a introductory picspam, stories that define and shape the fandom.

I don't think anyone needs an intro to SGA (ask if you do, I have a zillion links, or can find them for you), but I'm still enthusiastically in The Losers fandom, nearly two years after the movie came out. (I'm a bad fan, I haven't read the comics - but I do have the gist of them).

1. catwalksalone's Losers' primer. Includes comics and movie, and LOTSSSSSSSSS of big pictures. Seriously, if you just want to read the amazing storm_petrel fic that I recced a couple of days ago, hit this primer, and off you go!

2. The comm! For all your Losers' needs: the_losers_2010. Also, while you're subscribing to comms, why not check out or annual fic exchange, which will go live in a couple of weeks: ante_up_losers!

3. And now, it's going to be tough, picking out one amazing story as a fandom intro, so I'm going to give you four. :D

i. The Sniper at the Gates of Heaven by JoeLawson. An upbeat apocalypse fic. With a happy ending. No seriously. It's AMAZING.

ii. The Rabbit Test by katemonkey. Mpreg. Yes, you read that right. For katemonkey, I read mpreg. It's not exactly mpreg - Cougar gets turned into a woman first - but still. It's lovely and wonderful and I loooooove this Cougar.

iii. you raised me like a bruise by lady_krysis who writes some of the best Aisha, period. She is badass and menacing and tougher than all the Losers put together.

iv. Insomnio by james. I love this fic like burning because it is a Jensen fic that is quiet (sort of...) and yet still perfectly in character. I'll just quote you the first paragraph:

After being in the Army for three years, Jake Jensen knows three very important things. One is how to eat whatever is in front of him without gagging. The second is about Cougar. The third is the definition of privacy.

So there you have it. Welcome to The Losers fandom (which, to put in a plug for the fandom, is truly amazing, so much talent in such a small group of people). Thirty to fifty new stories in a couple of weeks. You're welcome.
