Ahahaha, okay, this is epic, because yes, I just started replying to you. I'm going to do mine in chunks, so you'll have to wait with bated breath for the next one, lol. And ahaha, I was trying to see what you've written! Just found a Merlin thing I think I read and liked before adslkfsds!! :)(I don't really read Merlin. Just, you know. A little, when certain writers I follow do it)(RL calls though so will have to stalk, er, investigate later).

Listen, I never self-pimp. EVER. To me it's just...no. But in case you didn't know, The Price Life Exacts, my 2008 sga Big Bang, seems to be my most popular sga fic. And certainly at 65K and massive, massive work plus omg shaenie and rheanna27 as audiencers/betas (!!), it probably reflects my actual top work. But read the warnings if you have triggers. Still, you know I already told you that I'm a happy ending type of person. If you already read it and didn't care for it, don't worry, lol! People also liked Decreasing Radii (amtdi, flawed in part but I like some things about it), and Forty Two -- kind of sentimental because it was my first sga fic, an actual episode tag. It's lighter than the others. There's other stuff on my lj and my website. If for any reason you want to read a bbm fic, I'm still pretty happy with In Country, Vietnam-set au, a very tight and short story in a terser style than a lot of my stuff. /self-pimp and I literally feel like I need to wash my mouth out, because I never, ever do that.

Oh! I almost forgot to say, thank you for the feedback on this fic, lol! I had never written an sga au, being so new to the fandom, so I loved doing it. I have a special connection to that stretch of Oregon coastline, too :), and when I realized I was actually going to write this, was really happy to be able to feature it. I love John and Rodney in any form, so I'm glad the warmth came through.

Sorry for being late, I was busy killing my laptop on Sunday :( so I'm computerless except for work and might be a bit spastic about replying. Uh. Even more spastic than I would have been before. So basically *really* spastic.

I totally read and remember Decreasing Radii. Last year I was (again, sigh, my life) internetless for the whole summer so I would download *hundreds* of SGA fics and read them at home and save notes for them, then come back to delicious and bookmark them with notes on what I'd read, which is why there are 1200 SGA fics tagged on my delicious. Unfortunately, I never finished properly tagging the last 200??? or so, because (look i'm just chronically cursed) my laptop died this spring, and took my notes for Decreasing Radii with it. BUT I REMEMBER I REALLY LIKED IT. klsdf.

I've also heard a ton of good things about Price Life Exacts though to date I don't think I've read any of the SGA Big Bangs, I AM EASILY OVERWHELMED AND JUST TYPING OUT "SGA BIG BANG" OVERWHELMS ME. but thank you for the recs!

Lol, i don't know what fandoms we have in common re my fic. I've only written one tiny tiny SGA drabble and some unfinished snippets here and there. People seem to like my Die Hard fic (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/82/diehard.html), and my Merlin Colin/Bradley RPS which you prolly saw (it's a bit rushed). I'm mostly known for inflicting Prince of Tennis (♥) upon the Harry Potter fandom with marginal success :D, and for my Harry/Draco fic from old-school HP fandom - probably The Reader and Properties of Being Lost are my best HP fics, but today I'm kind of fond of this one (http://www.notquiteroyal.net/topgallant/fics/sparrowprince.html) which has nothing whatever to do with Harry Potter. I wrote a Death Note AU that's silly and plebey and ridiculous, and I get a kick out of the userinfo (http://ningenfucker.livejournal.com/profile), but the fic won't make any sense unless you've read or seen at least half of Death Note. And there's my One True Fandom Hikaru no Go, but all I can do there is just flail a lot and tell you that Hikago is the best thing on earth ever, forget fic, you should basically just read it and watch it for the rest of your life. :(

When I die I want my ashes to be scattered off the coast near Yachats, that's how much I love it. So it was really nice to find in this fic.

P.S. Do you have twitter, I live there, I am obsessed, just asking.
