curious question

[tielan]

Are there still Teyla and John/Teyla fans reading this LJ?

Right now, I'm in the mood for some epic John/Teylaness. I want to read someone else's John/Teyla fics because right now, I want to write team gen, but the lack of John/Teyla is dragging me into the absence. If I could fill up on John/Teyla, then I'd be filled in that area and could write some of the gen that wants to be written but doesn't have anything to fill the OTP hole in me.

*sadface*

Anyone got some John/Teyla ficrecs? Preferably of the kind I haven't already read.

Hey girl! Love your fics. You're usually the one I turn to for great John/Teyla fics...

There are a couple on ff.net, but not many. There are a lot of Mary Sue fics and just badly written fics....

There's this one. It's kinda J/T:

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4869361/1/Choice this one was bitter sweet. It ends well...

Well, I'm a J/T fan that still reads. Sadly, I have no recs. I've been trying just figure out how to work more j/t into my current fic, but the muse hasn't been on for the primary ships of the stories I'm working on...:/

We'll see, though. Maybe I should start something new.

Which is why I don't read off ff.net! It's a little depressing.

I'll check those out - thanks!

Maybe I should start something new.

Sometimes that helps. Or taking a new tack helps. I started an old story with a new tack and have gotten halfway through. I'm presently musing on the 2nd half and how to put it all together...

Well, speaking as someone who loves your fics, but just rarely leaves comments (I know..that's bad of me. I need to start talking...) I check out your LJ account fairly regularly to see if you have any updates. Love your stories. The Astonishing Persistence of Memory, Sensitivity, In the Game, A Kingdom Broken are just a few of my favorites.

As for fic recs, I've got one name for you - Wedjatqi. Here is a link to her LJ. http://wedjatqi.livejournal.com/ She also updates her ff.net site regularly, so it may be easier to read her fic there. http://www.fanfiction.net/u/953524/Wedjatqi

She writes amazing J/T fics. Her Light series is one of my favorites. It's three parts. 1) And In the Darkness Bind Them 2) For Light Does the Darkness Most Fear and 3) In the Light of Day. It's a fantastic series that focuses on the connection between Teyla and John, even Torren and John. She even writes Kanaan in a really good light (meaning he's not some simpering idiot so consumed by jealously he acts like a spoiled child).

She has a couple of WIP, all of which she said she plans on finishing, but she seems to be focusing on Lost right now. Totally no complaints here though, I am hooked on the story and can't wait for the next chapter. Lost is about John and Teyla being stuck in a time dilation field where the people live a very savage existence and all of Atlantis' exhaustive efforts to rescue J/T.

The Atlantis Olympics is a happy read. It's what happens when John chooses Ronon over Teyla. Flirtations and competitiveness galore.

I am very sorry, but I have no recs for you.

You're my go to for J/T.

[stacy2002.livejournal.com]

God, I feel the same way. Apart from Wedjatqi's WIP, there is nothing new online. I have been 'filling up' on Star Trek Enterprise fic, but all the WIPs I've been following have been updating slowly. I was kinda hoping you would have something new soon - but your interest has shifted, and that's cool. I guess I'll just keep rereading Trip/T'Pol and Malcolm/Hoshi fic while I wait and hope.

[asugar.livejournal.com]

I am! I am definitely in the mood for the same. It's too early in the morning for me to come up with recs though. I'll be back with some once I've Starbucked up.

[rhianona]

Sorry, don't have any recs for you at the moment. I'm working on that prompt you gave me though, so hope to have that for you in a bit. Just don't know when I'll have the time to work on it since real life is kinda pounding on me at the moment.

[madjm.livejournal.com]

I'm sort of still around. I just don't have that much time online at the moment, and I haven't had time to read anything lately. I think there's still at least one of yours I need to catch up on, too!

I have one J/Tish story open on my computer waiting for me to work on it, but I'm just not feeling it. I kind of think I need to have a mini marathon and watch some old episodes to get back in the swing of things. The problem there is finding the time. :)

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

I'm still reading. I wish I had the time to write some fic for you. :) Maybe during spring break I can put something out, but right now I'm just way too busy with school. Sadly, I don't have any recs for you either.

[tielan]

Yeah, I know about wedjatqi. I was hoping that maybe there was a John/Teyla writer out there who I hadn't read. :(

[tielan]

You're my go to for J/T.

That's what I was afraid of. I mean, it's a compliment, but a little depressing when I'd like to find something I want to read...

[tielan]

My interests have shifted a little, but I still love John/Teyla. It's just close to impossible to find any that meets my standards, and most gen people (who are generally good writers) don't write it.

[tielan]

That would be awesome.

Goodfic recs from asugar!

[tielan]

Yeah, RL seems to have taken over a lot of people, myself included. :(

But I'm glad you're writing the prompt! Definitely let me know when it's done if I don't respond!

[tielan]

Time and inspiration: the two persistent problems of any writing.

*nudges you to find a little time*

Maybe watch one ep per night as a wind-down? *looks hopeful*

[tielan]

*pets*

Maybe when summer rolls around...? Would you think of going into the Big Bang again, if they hold it and permit J/T stories?

[madjm.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I might be able to do one every night or two. :)

[tielan]

Yay! :)

[timespirt.livejournal.com]

I am, but I'm not a writer. Wish I was, but I'm not good at writing. Love your fics very much and have them all saved in a file with your name on it.

[stacy2002.livejournal.com]

Very true, and very depresssing. I can't tell you how often I read something by a good writer, notice that they also write SGA fic and eagerly look up the rest of their work to find they don't ship my ship. Or they don't ship at all. Boo.

[don-in-melb.livejournal.com]

Hi Tielan, I have a four part John/Teyla fanfic that I wrote a few months back, that I hope you might enjoy. It's called "A small difference". It's about how responsibilities to their respective groups keep them apart, and how a small difference might change that.

Part 1 starts here: http://don-in-melb.livejournal.com/11241.html

Found another!

[ninja007.livejournal.com]

I found another one...

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4672489/1/Silencing_the_Voice

Hope there is something new here for you!

[asugar.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. Sorry for the delay. Ended up being out all day. Very intimidating giving recs to you when I always love everything you recommend. Plus I'm positive you've read everything. But I will try. Oh, the pressure! So some of these the J/T is not the focus but it is there, or the story is gen with a Teyla focus because she is awesome. Have you already read:

Kanaan on Teyla and John in Bittersweet Love? http://rhianona.insanejournal.com/12257.html

Guess Things Happen That Way. Moody AU shifting little Vegas tag. Not perfect but interesting. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4846061/1/

Teyla is so awesome in You Already Know How This Will End by harrietspy. http://community.livejournal.com/halfamoon/58371.html
It's a J/T (and Michael) continuation of Sequalae with BugJohn gone so wrong (also really good but very depressing) Sequelae http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/712183.html

Negotiating Shadows, Teyla confronts John after Be All My Sins Remember'd, no McShep AT ALL despite warning at top, more John & Teyla friendship, http://aesc.livejournal.com/311001.html

Really creepy Teyla POV horror-ish tale, You're Not The Girl You Think You Are, http://saeva.livejournal.com/91749.html

Teyla on New Athos during The Return in A Hair's Breadth of Time
http://thepouncer.livejournal.com/449319.html

HarrietSpy's Vegas AU (with wonderful and sad J/T thread), When I Came A Stranger, http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/846352.html and http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/847113.html

In Atlantis by Dezrai http://sjalways-forever.jackandsamforever.net/viewstory.php?sid=2856 and the Vegas verse in process sequel, The More Things Change, http://sjalways-forever.jackandsamforever.net/viewstory.php?sid=3050 She is pure J/T and S/J fic junk food. So very divinely wish fulfilling that it's over the top fluff.

I am quite the enjoying the John and Teyla as best friends, maybe could be more, The Runaway Bride and her Trusty Wingman, http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4790370/1/The_Runaway_Bride_and_her_Trusty_Wingman

More of a Ronon/Keller fic but there's John/Teyla in the background of The Lost Children of Atlantis, http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4503240/1/
