September reccers: volunteer post

[fignewton]

This entry will be open to volunteers through August 31st. The official list of monthly reccers will be posted on Friday.

Comment with the username you'll be using to rec and the category you want, choosing a category from the list below or selecting a more rare category that has been used in the past. If you want to rec a category that is not on the list below or in the community memories, feel free to ask. Remember that you may volunteer for a category that isn't listed.

By signing up, you are committing yourself to reccing at least two (preferably four) stories in that category during the month of September. August reccers may only sign up for next month after posting their minimum two recs for this month.

Please note that we are no longer asking reccers to check the memories before choosing which stories to rec. If you have a good fic to rec, go for it! The FAQ and rec template, with detailed instructions, can be found here.

You must be a member of stargateficrec in order to post, so if you're a new reccer, be sure to join the community.

If you wish to rec at the comm on LJ this month, go here.

Why This Must Be Read: A fandom classic that many have probably already read but is just as great or better on re-reading. You get all the SG-1 and SGA characters in a fantastic lost expedition scenario. Great characterization, compelling plot, beautifully written, and if you don't want it to end, don't worry because it becomes an entire 100,000+ word series. Buckle in.

Bonus: If podfic is your preferred medium, there is an entire 11+ hour audiobook compilation of the series by ArwenLune, Kyizi, Lunate8 and mific.

Double bonus: There is also a separate series of Retrograde Extras, one of which—The Atlantis Job—was posted just last year and is a Stargate/Leverage crossover.
