Why this must be read:


There's been a lot of discussion recently about how the common man would deal with the destruction of his world. It's a topic that I love -- think about it, there are 50,000 stories to tell in the Colonial fleet, and most of them aren't military.

At the same time, I have become endlessly fascinated by the Cylons of the new series. They're smart, sexy, conflicted and on some level, programmed to assist in the destruction of the human race. Yet, at the same time, they are yearning to be human. (Well, maybe not Doral, but the leisure suit could be messing with his programming. Heh.)


serialkarma has an appreciation for the Cylons and their place in the larger BSG story, and an interest in Leoben Conoy in particular. In Survivors she combines the common woman caught in the aftermath with one of the Leoben copies and provides a story that is by turns hot, thought provoking and oddly unsettling.

While written for my birthday, Survivors is a story that serialkarma was destined to write. It's a wonderful example of the variety this fandom is capable of offering -- the galaxy being infinite and all.

Thank you for getting us started on the BSG recs.

Could you do me a favour and state explicitly under Fandom if the rec is for the 2003 or 1978 series? I just want to make sure that I add the recs to the correct memories keyword. Thanks!

Sure. I thought about it as a point, but since this is an odd situation, I figured I'd play passive and let you guys let me know.

Now I know and will do so. It'll be easy anyway, all my recs will be 2003.

Thanks. I kind of figured that most of the recs would be for the new series, but I tend to be an idiot - so, best to be safe. ;)
