A student, lying in the middle of an aisle, flicking through a book. So far, not so unusual. Except that he had his laptop with him and was wearing headphones. When I went behind him, he had the tennis on full-screen on the computer, while 'reading' the textbook. Honestly.

SG Awards have just opened for voting. The category system makes the librarian in me twitch, and I only clicked through the Gen section. It was actually an interesting exercise, since it reminded me just how small the Gen portion of SGA fandom is. In a fandom-wide award system, I would not expect to recognise most of the author's names, and yet. Most of the SGA-Gen writers on my flist seem to have been nominated, as well as lots of friends of friends and people whose fic I'm startled to be on the same list as.
Because finding these things is labyrinthine and I am shameless, allow me to point you to the lists where I'm nominated. At least in the Gen category, these also make pretty handy rec lists. I had trouble with direct links to lists (please tell me if any links are broken), but the menu system works, even if it did remind me of those endless automated phone systems. I kept waiting for it to tell me to press '1' for Slash, '2' for Het, '3' for Gen...
( Why yes, this is a chance to list some of my favourite SGA stories by me and my friends. Why'd you ask? )
