New (old) fic!

[popkin16]

A friend of mine asked me to locate a fic for her and in the process of googling, I stumbled on some old sgastoryfinder searches for a fic called All Change. It wasn't up for long after completion, and the author was encouraging people to save a copy. And you know me: new (to me), long McShep fic? I NEED IT.

I finally got in contact with someone who linked me to a google doc folder of the fic - with every chapter in a separate .doc file. And they aren't numbered (except for the first three), so I had three goals:
1). Figure out what order it went in
2). Combine it all into one file.
3). Give it a summary.

And I have (after 3 days of non-stop work)! I even mocked up an ao3 format for the fic, lol.

So:

All Change by ralphspudlanyon
191k words. John Sheppard/Rodney McKay || Elizabeth Weir/Teyla Emmagen || Carson Beckett/Laura Cadman || Carson Beckett/Ronon Dex

Elizabeth resigns, opening the door for a change in leadership that bodes ill for Atlantis. Around the same time, AR-1 meets with an advanced, telepathic civilization that seems to charm any who come in contact with them. One man in particular takes an interest in Rodney, and John’s not at all certain of the intentions behind this civilization’s generosity.

If you want a copy, send me your email and I'll pass the file along.

You know I do! And I still stand by my offer to pay you on fic!

[popkin16]

sa;jh that is super kind of you, bb :D If you're certain, I'm definitely not going to turn you down :D

I'll send you an ask on tumblr for your email address! I thought I had it but can't seem to find it.

[respoftw]

Ah, I missed your ask because tumblr and dw have been patchy with emails for me lately. You're probably asleep now but I sent you a message with my email.

Its ash_pixie@hotmail.com

And just give me a fic idea/trope and I'm happy to write it for you bb xxx

[popkin16]

I was asleep, but it's been sent along now :D

Oh man, there are just so many things I could ask for...any restrictions?

[respoftw]

Thanks!

Only restrictions are no genderswaps or ABO.

[popkin16]

Well, maybe I can ask for more sub!Rodney then? The one you wrote before was A M A Z I N G.

[respoftw]

I can totally do that! Any particular things to steer clear of?

[popkin16]

Hmmm. Not really? We have really similar taste in fics, so as long as it has a happy ending, I don't mind.

Though you asking that has me nervous, lol.

[respoftw]

Lol! I’m on it ;) I should have something for you by the end of the month bb. X

[popkin16]

There's no rush, bb! But thank you :D I'm super excited!

[timespirt]

Please send me a copy hon. "HUGS"

timespirt@aol.com

[popkin16]

It's on the way :) I put "All Change" as the subject line.

[timespirt]

Wow, you are so fast hon. Thank you. "HUGS"

[popkin16]

You're welcome *HUGS* I'll be going to bed soon, so any responses will slow after this, but you caught me at the right time

[timespirt]

That's OK because I went to bed 15 min. after I sent the message because the clock changed and all of a sudden it was way after 3 am in the morning. I hate daylight savings time changes!

"HUGS"

[popkin16]

LOL Okay, good :D The time change completely threw me off too - I went to bed at my normal time but it just felt so WRONG, lol.

Ooh! - I'll pay you with a portrait of Rodney as I'm trying to practise doing art regularly.

I will never say no to a portrait of Rodney :D

Also, your icon is the greatest thing ever. I keep staring at it.

[runpunkrun]

Me please! I love that you put so much work into it. I would too. :D

runpunkrun at the gmails.

[popkin16]

McShep is worth the hard work :D And I can't seem to take on projects any other way but 100% lol.

[otherearths_outthere]

I would very much like a copy too. Thank you so much for doing this. I *need* a long McShep to distract me from RL

epperson.jennifer@gmail.com

[popkin16]

Thank god for fanfiction, that's all I can say!

It's been sent :)

[otherearths_outthere]

Thank you SO much!
You are a hero. 💙💙💙
And the pdf works just fine.

[popkin16]

You're very welcome :D

[moth2fic]

harlequinandyarrow at gmail dot com. For some reason I haven't explored, all my SGA icons got left behind on LJ...

I'd love a copy, and thanks in advance for all your hard work!

P.S. I do hope you don't intend to upload to AO3 because you can't repost other people's work there without specific permission.

[popkin16]

Nope, I have no plans to post this to ao3. That's why I'm making everyone give me their email. I briefly thought about uploading the fic to google doc and just linking people to it, but that felt too much like publishing what isn't mine, so: emailing it is!

The fic has been sent :)

[moth2fic]

Received and downloaded - thanks!

I will probably use Calibre to convert it to mobi for my Kindle and have never had a problem with pdfs though just occasionally there will be strange effects on odd things - like italics not showing properly and getting weird symbols instead. I'll let you know if there are any glitches like that but I don't expect them!

I'm looking forward to it but I have a huge to-be-read list so am not sure when it will reach the top!

Yes - there's a huge difference between sharing, between friends, and publishing. Thanks again!

[popkin16]

You're very welcome!

Oh yeah, I've sent PDFs to my kindle before and it always looks weird. I mostly use PDFs for computer reading, lol.

At least you have something to look forward to :D Get to it whenever you can - though I WOULD like to know what you think~
