December reccers volunteer post

[fignewton]

If you'd decided you're going to volunteer to rec this year, this is your last chance... :)

This entry will be open to December volunteers through Novermber 30th. The official list will go up on Sunday.

Comment with the username you'll be using to rec and the category you want. Choose a category from the list below or select 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 Memories, please 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 December. November reccers may only sign up for next month after posting their minimum two recs for this month. Remember that you don't have to check the Memories before choosing which stories to rec. If you have a good fic to rec, go for it! Do remember, though, that story links must be freely accessible, without requiring any sort of login to view. The FAQ and rec template, with detailed instructions, can be found here.

This year, we are also allowing self-recs, but only after a reccer has done the minimum two for their category of the month. More details at this link, and drop a comment or e-mail if you need clarification.

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

( Common but not exclusive categories )

Remember: first come, first claimed.

Thousandmother (by Springwoof) (M)

Show: SGA (with what the author calls "guest appearances" by SG1)
Rec Category: AU - specifically, with alien worldbuilding.
Characters: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard, Ronon Dex, Teyla Emmagan, Elizabeth Weir, Radek Zelenka, Evan Lorne, Steven Caldwell, Sam Carter, Vala Mal Doran, Daniel Jackson, Cameron Mitchell, Teal'c
Categories: slash
Warnings: "It's a chose not to warn" one, I think because Teyla is captured and basically tortured by some evil humans (not the alien race). I can't think of anything else to warn for. 
Author on DW: springwoof
Author's Website: See the AO3
Link: Thousandmother on AO3 - or the original SGA Big Bang post on the wayback machine
Why This Must Be Read: This isn't tagged AU on AO3 but it deviates enough from canon, especially at the end, that I consider it an AU, and in fact Springwoof notes on the original post "AU sometime after Season 3's Common Ground." Anyway, it's an amazing read with the team stuck on a world with an alien race, which is where the worldbuilding comes in. I love the imaginative details of the alien culture who aren't just "Pegasus humans", but truly different. It's also excellent action/adventure, crammed with plot, and a really great story.
