Duped again. Cuz I'm a sucker like that.

I've succumbed to yet another form of fancrack...Stargate Atlantis.

That's right Gays in Space finally made an appearance on my screen and now I am marathoning season 1 and drooling over my new teevee boyfriends Joe Flanigan (I've always known he was cute, but seriously that smirking just kills me dead) and David Hewlett (Rodney McKay is the secret nerdy teddy bear twin of my beloved Chief Tyrol fyi). Haven't even gotten to the stuff with hottass Momoa yet and I'm already hooked.

Not just pretty faces either and cheesy special effects either, because the show actually has some good writing sometimes. The episode that actually clinched it for me was Childhood's End. Dystopian young adult cultures FTW! It was like Mad Max + Logan's Run + Lowry's "The Giver, and I totally loved every cracktastic second of it.

So for those of you who have been playing in/around SGA fandom for a while, help a fangirl out? Picspam me with your favorite JFlan or DHew pics? Rec me some good non-spoilery fic or some shiny vids? Tell me where the cool kids hang out?

[ginormous hat-tip to sundancekid for facilitating my SGA marathon and being such an awesome fangirl in general :D ]

Duuude, welcome to the party!! I love SGA, although sadly the crack onscreen is going away (cancelled, oh noes!). Lots of people on my flist are SGA'ers, if you feel like browsing around that way.

I have no pictures, but fic! woo! I can do fic. but non-spoilery, I'm going to have a harder time on that, but I weeeellll trry. Also, I'm pretty much Sheppard/McKay all the way (although McKay is the character of my heart, so I do dabble in McKay/Ronon, McKay/Sam (Carter), and OT4 fic).

-Proof by Contradiction - "What sucked most was the sinking feeling that McKay was handling the whole thing better than he was.": http://intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/contradiction.html
-Transcendental (this is a classic! and longish): http://intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/transcendental.html
-Hindsight (AU!so non-spoilery, I think; sequels on author's page): http://glitterati.talkoncorners.net/fiction/hindsight.php

the fourth vine hits a lot of the classics of the fandom in her recs (also, she's hilarious, if you don't follow her already): http://www.livejournal.com/users/thefourthvine/tag/stargate:%20atlantis

Generally awesome for fic, though can't say all is nonspoilery:
-Cesperanza's fic: http://www.trickster.org/speranza/cesper/atlantis.html
-astolat's fic (start with the older stuff at the bottom for the less spoilery stuff): http://intimations.org/fanfic/#Stargate:%20Atlantis
-rageprufrock's fic: http://glitterati.talkoncorners.net/fiction/index.php#sga
-Polyamorous Recs SGA (select fandom from the menu in upper left): http://bifictionalbedlam.slashcity.net/recs/

You may also want to add the newsletter community (news, ep discussion, stories, vids, etc.): http://community.livejournal.com/sga_newsletter/

Obviously, you have hit a nerve with this one. Let me know if you want to talk/squee SGA, and if you want more specific recs later on (I have other favorites, but I think they're totally spoilery).

Oh darling baby D--you just had to make my day didn't you! I should have known I could trust you to find me a whole bunch of awesome stuff :D

And I heard about the cancellation! Very sad but I'm glad I'm catching up while I can and I will suck as much fun out of it as possible in the meantime.

This will definitely get me started and I'll start pestering you for more once I'm caught up. *hugs*
