Remember your first?

EEEEEE! There's squee afoot!

I was just over at lavvyan's, where she's hosting the SGA Love Shack Meme, and I placed the link to the first fic I ever read in the SGA fandom.

It was Good for What Ails You by giddygeek, and it was so funny, and hot, and had the whole team, and the voices were perfect (but I didn't know that at the time, as I had yet to see the first episode), and you will love it.

Go. Read it! It's short. It's wonderful. You need a grin today, right??

So, I was wondering - do you remember the story that popped your SGA fandom cherry?

Care to share it with us?!?!?!!

The Storm probably. I liked a couple of episodes before that...38 Minutes for example...but htis one was the first taht I found truly compelling.

I don't know wich one was the first, but the first that stayed with me is "Ache" by esteefee. I LOVE it. Still have it in my memories :-) And since I can't make the pretty links, we'll go with an oldfashioned one:

I honestly don't remember but I do remember early on reading a long fic about the team being on Daedalus and the ship crashes on a icy, snowy planet. It was really good and that was the story that got me hooked. I'll have to go into my saved stories and see if I can find it. There is some awesome fanfic out there...spurred me to try my hand at it.

I wish I could remember the very first story I read...darn.

That sounds like one by Friendshipper...

Yes, the fiction is amazing. SGA fandom is very talented! :o)

Oh, that was wonderful! Added that one to my tags - thank you!!

Such a great episode tag, and she nails the characterizations!

I don't believe it was the first story I read, but the first one to make an impression on me is boilerbmw's Finding Rodney (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=77&warning=12). *nostalgic sigh*

issaro's reading of astolat's Time in a Bottle. I didn't know much about the show at the time - just a few scattered episodes across the first four seasons - but they told a really enjoyable story that I wanted to listen to over and over.

Oooh, nice Elizabeth icon there!

I can't remember my first SGA story, but I can remember my first slash one. I remember it because the friend who sent it to me only sent me a portion of it, cutting it off before it got to the slashy bits.

Baby Bedlam by the Huntress (http://www.area52hkh.net/ash/huntress/bbedlam.php).

When I questioned why she'd only C&P'd me part of a story, she was very coy and finally said what it was about and that she didn't think I could 'handle it.' I asked for the link, read the story and a McShepper was born. :-)

I think I voraciously consumed virtually every McShep story on wraithbait. Alphabetically.

I watched the show from the beginning but as for the fanfiction, I followed lamardeuse over from the Sentinel fandom. I'd read a half dozen stories, all of them excellent, all of them leaving me looking for more.

Then I hit A Beautiful Lifetime Event (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/lifetime_event.html). From that moment on my fate was sealed.

Easy! MVP (http://trickster.org/speranza/cesper/MVP.html) by Speranza. I was in due South for a while and so loved her work. I was just bored one day and decided to try out her other fic on a whim, and after reading the story summaries chose MVP. I can't say what it was, specifically, about that story that made me suddenly want to read everything I possibly could about the characters, but it had that impact. I adored Rodney and found John interesting and wanted to know more about them.

Oh yeah, A Beautiful Lifetime Event was one I found not long after I first started reading SGA fic. It was the FIRST kid!fic I ever actually enjoyed! It was the start of SGA fandom slowly and surely breaking down every bias I previously had about fanfic. ("What do you mean, wing!fic? How stupid is that?" ...yeah, not so much anymore!)

[gottalovev.livejournal.com]

mine was with A Beautiful Lifetime Event (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/lifetime_event.html) because it was recced by several people on the flist... I adored it. read here and there for I think 2 years after that before trying the show itself =D
