Link: The Work of Mourning

Why This Must Be Read: All the feeeeels! Seriously, this fic will punch you in the gut, and then make it all better by the end. It’s a study of the process of grief and, in a Last Man tag, a defiance of that grief. The imagery is amazing, the character insights are amazing, and Popkin is amazing! There can never be enough love for this fic.

October Reccers Volunteer Post

[thenightsfall]

Hi guys!  I'm filling in for fignewton  and offering up our next month's Reccers Post.  We've had a tremendous September with 19 recs!  So far.  So let's keep the momentum for an even better October.

Please comment with your user name and the category you would like to rec.  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 September August 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. Reccers may add self-recs once they have done their minimum two for their category of the month, and see more details at the FAQ entry.

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