Yeah, I read that one. It's pretty cool. What do you like in Stargate fanfic?

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
I mostly read either plotty gen or J/D, but beyond that... I went through enough of a read-all-the-crap phase that I'm at a point where I attach to the best writing I can find. I like strong POV a lot of the time, just because when it's done well you can get such an amazing character voice out of it, where it infuses the whole thing rather than being confined to the dialogue. I find Daniel the most interesting of the lot of them, but it's tricky to find conceptions of him that I agree with. I adore good character pieces focusing on him or him and one of his teammates, but Poor Danny I do not need to cope with.

Thrive to spite them
Gavilan was a really great story, a great original character and a good Teal'c story. I like Teal'c. I haven't read much Stargate but I made the mistake of looking around that one awards site and ending up in a really really bad and strange Teal'c/Daniel story.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Hey. I did a thing. It's fun to stretch those muscles. It's a challenge from a familiar person, and I did it for Angel.

I forget who tends to look for CSI fic - Anne, maybe?
All the Way to Reno. Gil/Catherine. I thought it was good, although the Grissom isn't the one in my head.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Thanks for thinking of me, Dana! That's a particularly good fic. Unfortunately, there aren't that many good C.S.I. fics out there. Plus, the 'shipper wars can be a bit scary. There's some decent slash out there, but the thought of C.S.I. slash can be a bit squicksome to many people. This is pretty damned good, even though the pairing might drive people away.

Em Brunson also writes CSI slash - have I mentioned that before?

Yup. "Canada" is a wonderful piece, although a wee bit credulity straining for me.
