insanenekoIt depresses me every time I see a rec for a fic that I know is good but I just can't love. I'm greedy, I want as many fics to love as possible. I can dismiss the fics without merit very easily, but the ones for which I can make a list of it's good points and still can't love? I totally feel like I'm missing out and I'll make myself reread it several times to make sure I don't love it. :P
Also, I am very much on board with the idea of podfics. Even in their imperfection, I love the sound of the human voice bringing fics alive. I almost feel like trying to record my favorites to listen to in the car (oh, how they can make the commutes fly by), but that would mean getting the equipment to record. I assume one wouldn't need the author's permission for a personal recording.
And some fics:

lemonbella is funny funny gen. I think anyone with any kind of imagination would start laughing just from reading the summary: "In retrospect, contracting a business management consultant to review the personnel interaction on Atlantis wasn't the best idea Elizabeth Weir had ever had."
Like a Long, Slow Nervous Breakdown by Speranza is, um, really cool. I like fics broken up into pieces like this, different scenes spliced together, connected by the snark, the tension, the always forward momentum of needing (whether it's staying alive or sex). I especially love the snark.
