McShep Match Recs
Aug. 28th, 2007 09:43 pmI was hoping to keep up and rec a few more of these stories, but that was never really in the cards, was it? I have a tag for the stories on my rec listing, and you can access it here:

I'll update that as I read along, but it's unlikely that I will finish reading them all before the match comes to an end. I have added a couple of the Team Angst stories to the list recently:
Homunculus, which is a nifty horror story with a nice slow reveal. It's one of my favorite genres, the 'alien with my friend's face', which I don't see a lot of, so you may need to take it with a grain of salt.
Paschal's Lamb, which is an intense psychological thriller about the aftermath of a mission gone wrong. Very clean and sharp, it dragged me in quickly and really kept my attention.
I do have a problem with romance at times, as occasionally, the whole 'I have never felt this way before in my life' thing can make me roll my eyes, but I have found some Team Romance stories that I have added to my rec list as well.
Wolf in Sheep's Clothing is very much a 1950's Cary grant movie, ala It Takes A Thief The AU has John as a high-class thief specializing in industrial espionage, who is contacted to steal the work of Dr. Rodney McKay, and ends up falling in love. A little angst, a lot of adventure and some hurt/comfort all play out against a gorgeous Parisian setting.
The One With The Staplers It's like SGA meets the office. John is the receptionist of a large software firm, but it's really the in-jokes that make it. Or at least, it seems that way, right? Very clever in tone and execution, I am afraid of giving too much away. Go read it and see what you think.
Ah! That reminds me.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
mcshep_match is a game, and part of the fun is when other people play. There's a poll at the bottom of each story post, so please fill it out when you finish the story. Plus ll the stories are 'author unknown' right now, so you can also have some fun playing with that on the various 'guess the author' posts. The clock is ticking, and I think we're over halfway through the posting, so go read a few and make some guesses. It's all for fun.
Just remember to vote for Team Angst first.
