Make the post you want to see in the world
"Nothing happens to post about in the SGA fandom," I said, and ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
sgamadison rightly responded that not posting is just making the fandom even quieter. There's more activity on tumblr, but I miss actual discussions. Though I'm giving serious consideration to setting up an automatic crossposter between mcshep-everyday and dreamwidth/livejournal to try and boost the fandom over here.
Anyway, in an effort to bring fandom back to journaling sites:
I've been reading Pegasus Purgatorio lately. I have only read it once, way back when I first joined the fandom, so it's practically brand new to me. It's interesting how the author twisted canon - like making Kanaan the leader of Michael's mutants. I do love the idea of Atlantis evacuating Pegasus planets to empty Milky Way ones, though. I have no idea how John and Rodney are going to make it back to Earth, though lol.
Lately, I've been giving a lot of thought to rereading fics I've only been through once, a long time ago - fics like The Whaleverse and A Face That Nobody Knows. I've also given some thought to reading the Ex Patria series, but I already know that John and Rodney being in an open relationship is going to bother me, so why torture myself? BUT THE PLOT LOOKS SO COOL. But their relationship...but the PLOT... Anyway, If you're cool with that kind of thing, you should check that series out - I've heard nothing but good things! If it helps, I think I was told that John & Rodney are only ever explicitly with each other. I think.
I've been making brief forays in to the Harry Potter fandom too, but I am EPIC picky about my HP fic. All of it basically has to be EWE (epilogue? what epilogue?). I don't care if it's Hogwart's Eight Year fic, or something that takes place more in the future, but I'm not interested in reading fic set back during book 5, say. If you're looking for an amazing author, check out saras_girl. She single-handedly got me back into HP after more than a decade away from the fandom.
I also read Cinderwings, an Dean/Castiel Supernatural sort-of Cinderella AU, but it's so much more than that.
Not too long ago, I finished reading Strong Poison, a Peter Wimsey novel. I was surprised by how fast I became smitten with Peter <3 I already have the next book (I'm focusing on the ones that have Harriet Vane in them) but I have to be in the mood for books.
What is everyone reading these days?

I’m so (relatively) new to the fandom that there’s still so much to discover and read! I just read two super cute AUs that made me smile so hard!

This makes me REALLY HAPPY. I confess, I see you on my tumblr feed and I'm like, "I'm going to miss her SO MUCH when she moves on." Though you DO have so much still to discover, and I envy that :)
McShep is still 95% of what I read. If I go too long without reading it, I start to miss John and Rodney like they're family I haven't seen in a while.
OH MY GOD, HAPPY TRAILS ♥ ♥ I love that fic so much. And there are countless times when I bring that fic up just to read the end, when Rodney rushes out of the airport to yell for John and admits he wants to stay <33333333 All You Can Squeeze From A Lemon is so good too. Every time I go looking for fic to read on mcshep-everyday, I try to choose stuff that a). love and/or b). you might not have read yet.

That's a HUGE relief.
LOL That's how I am too, with all media I consume. "What if this were a crossover or a fusion?"
You've already put out such a high volume of quality fics, so nobody can complain if you take a bit of time! Now that school is over and my cold is gone, I should really get back to writing, too.
