mcshep_match 2010 favorites so far

mcshep_match has started and I've been doing better this year with keeping up on my reading and voting! Whee!! Some great stuff – so go check it out. And some long stories already too! Posted early so I had time to read them. I got in a bind last year with a bunch of long ones at the end and couldn't read and vote fast enough. I also really liked the teams this year: 'Work' and 'Play'.

Here are my favorites so far:

Sheppard's Pie (Team Play): Pie, pie and more pie. A nice long story with my favorite cliché of pining!Sheppard and oblivious!Rodney :) Covers a lot of time, with pie in various forms and flavors tying the whole thing together. Beware, you'll be wanting pie when you finish reading it.

Tied to the Rocket (Team Work): Another long one that tricked me – starting out as an AU with John and Rodney meeting while young and falling into lust and then distance breaking them down because they FAIL to communicate. And then working back into canon with much angst and no immediate resolution while you are screaming at them to just TALK, PLEASE!

Circle Yes or No (Team Play): Taking a vacation and dealing with family and nothing is ever easy as that when John talks Rodney into 'playing' as his boyfriend because his brother assumes he is. LOL. Much comedy of errors ensues.

A Fate So Sweet (Team Work): Woo Baby! Smoking hot long kinky BDSM fic with many issues handled with deft care. Not only some great sex, but also in a steampunky world!

Dreaming (Team Play): Art. And Rodney's mind heads into the gutter as fast as mine :) LOL.

Rapid Descent (Team Work): Art. Amazing detail, interesting camera angle and some kick ass perspective and deft coloring.

Please support the fest – read, vote, comment!!
