Why This Must Be Read:

I have a love of fics that break outside the traditional mode of storytelling, and this is a fantastic example of how multimedia can be used to great effect to give a fic a visual as well as an emotional impact.

Beginning post "McKay and Mrs Miller", Teyla begins a correspondance with Jeannie Miller - an exchange of postcards. We see their writing styles, added notes scrawled across the cards, enclosed drawings, and before long the rest of the Atlantis team join in as well.

friendshipper adds so many little details and touches that make the experience of reading the postcards very personal, it's almost as if you've come across a packet of saved letters. They'll bring a smile to your face and are absolutely worth reading

Great choice, I wish I hadn't already read it so it could be new all over again!!

There's nothing quite like reading a great fic for the first time! But re-reading is fun too, you often pick up on things you missed the first time around.

It's just lovely, and so much work must have gone into it.

I definitely have fun sifting through all the fic I read looking for the ones I think everyone else will love as well.
