When I join a new fandom, I go over every inch of it, searching out fics, finding amazing authors...and I'm still not done!

I hope some of the new fics I've introduced you to are ones you've enjoyed!

I knew as soon as I decided to do this that I wanted to rec one of yours and one of the_cephalopod's. It was just luck that the first one I settled on was written by both of you!

*grins* That's what I did when I discovered SGA, but a lot of the fics you're listing must predate my joining LJ. If it wasn't on wraithbait back in the day, I probably missed it. So I'm really enjoying your rec list!

Cep and I have had so much fun writing together--really she was the one who pulled me into LJ, and got me writing in the Big Bangs. I've met so many wonderful people as a result of that, including my BF. I can honestly say that the SGA fandom has truly changed my life. :-)

So thank you for including one of our stories!

I'm the opposite :P I haven't really explored Wraithbait in depth - I started at LJ and rarely go to wraithbait - though I do have quite a few fics favorited there.

Thank you (and Cep too, of course) for writing such amazing fics, and for continuing to do so. They're a joy to read.

When I discovered wraithbait, I began to read the entire McShep archive in alphabetical order. *red-face* I read almost everything, skipping death fic and some of the super-long novel length stories, always intending to come back later and pic them up again.

It saddens me that hardly anyone seems to go there any more. It really is a treasure trove. :-)

Thank you, that's very nice of you to say. :-)

I love Wraithbait and how it let people post long fics in one long post. Before AO3 it was my favorite site because it offered the option to view an entire story in one page, which was helpful when my internet would flicker. I could get all the fics loaded that I wanted and not have to worry about the next chapter not loading :P

It saddens me that hardly anyone seems to go there any more. It really is a treasure trove. :-)

Oh, this scares me. I hope the website doesn't close down D: So many wonderful fics would disappear.

[sgamadison.livejournal.com]

I see no indications of it closing, just that comments and postings are way down, which is usually a sign that people have migrated elsewhere. :-(

[popkin16]

You'd think there'd be an announcement if it were closing. I'm just worried that it will now! But with so many people moving on from the SGA fandom and the growing popularity of AO3...
