The moment you see this post, go hug somebody, virtually or for real. Leave a kind entry in somebody's LJ. Give somebody chocolate. Tell somebody how nice s/he looks today. In short: Use your creativity, make somebody's day. (Self-hugs are allowed. ;D) Then post this to your LJ, spread the love.
I could do with chocolate right now. I'm thinking I might go up the road and have a big fried-up breakfast and to hell with my cholesterol levels. I have a hockey game later tonight, so I'm telling myself that it'll get run off... *sigh* I wish I could believe it worked that way.

"Pimp yourself out" meme frommahoni
Sometimes it's ok to pimp yourself out. Post a list of your top five fic-favorites you've written, regardless of fandom or the reason you love them. This isn't about the BEST things you've written, but what you LOVE most. Then tag five other people to do the same.
For me, at least part of why my favourite stories are my favourite stories is because I'm satisfied with how they turned out. So they're more likely to be the best thing I've written.
The Astonishing Persistence Of Memory
John-centric team with a John/Teyla and John/other component. I really love how much detail I put into this. It's the kind of story I would beg, kidnap, blackmail, and bombthreat to have written by someone else just so I could spend most of a day reading it to come out at the end going OMGOMGOMGOMG. It was painful to write, but I'm satisfied with what came out of it. And I wish I could write the sequel, but it's not looking very likely.
Discomfort Zones
John/Teyla, angst. I like angst, particularly in this period of SGA, and this has loads of it. I wanted something that balanced out Teyla's feelings for the two men in her life, and elaborated on John's difficulty with emotion and particularly his feelings regarding Teyla. And although I find it a painful read, it's also very satisfying.
A Hanging Offence
John/Teyla, humour. I don't write too many humour fics, so when I do, I have a fondness for them. The UST - both emotional and physical - was fun to write. And there's something enjoyable about a dreadfully funny situation to everyone else, which is dreadfully embarrassing to the people it's happening to. I really need to write another one of these.

College Househare AU, team, humour. I love this story because it encapsulates not only a lot of team interaction, but a lot of my life philosophy as well: clean up after yourself, pay for what you take, sometimes you have to accept that you're just not gonna make it, and family is not the same as blood relatives. And the teamy-ness gives me warm fuzzies.
Now I want to run a Team Fic-a-thon.
Feint
Teyla, team, humour. Because I wrote it in 15 minutes, flipped the damsel-in-distress paradigm around, and had fun writing it.

I was thinking of doing the 'top stories in terms of comments received' meme (again, seen withmahoni), but it's a bit difficult to dig back through three years of fic, especially given how much I've written.
I do know that my most-commented on story is To Serve A Queen (Ronon/Liz). Even three years after I wrote it, I still get comments on it. Of course, I also had people saying that they felt dirty after reading it (because it had John/Teyla ship in it, too). It was an epic fic.
The team story that stands out in my mind as being most-commented on was Where The Running Stops. Ronon-centric, post-Sateda, team. This one was popular for a combination of team-fuzzy and humour, I think. But it was a one-off popularity - it's not something that people comment on anymore.
The John/Teyla story that's been most-commented on is probably The Barista - that one was another crackerrific series, though (which have a tendency to be commented upon more, because people follow it). Fire At Midnight would probably be the standalone story with the most comments. And that one had the UST and humour.
I didn't include In The Game because it's not yet finished.
Humour seems to be the key ingredient for my most popular storys - that or sheer epic-ness. It's an interesting thing to consider when writing fic.
