Why this must be read: In sheafrotherdon's "Traturian Thaw" John Sheppard has a bad feeling he can't shake about the Traturians; they've been exemplary trading partners but there's just something about them that John can't explain. When Rodney goes missing, John's fears prove correct. I adore "Traturian Thaw", as I do all of sheafrotherdon's work. It's got strong characterizations, especially John Sheppard, and an intriguing story that hooks you right from the start. I couldn't help but recommend speris' excellent remix of the story told from Rodney's POV. (I actually read that one first.) It's another gorgeous brave!Rodney story where we're reminded just how much our resident genius has grown since arriving in Pegasus and compliments the original story beautifully. Treat yourself and read them both.

07:36 pm VID REC: Stargate Atlantis - "Sour Cherry"
Vidder: SimonWinter84
Musical artist: The Kills
Pairing: none
Vidder on LJ: unknown
Vidder's website: YouTube
Why this vid kicks ass: This is a hilarious tribute to our favorite military commander, John Sheppard. This fan video features crisp editing, a tremendous selection of choice clips and a lot of dialogue from the show, which is something I love when it's as well done as it is here. SimonWinter84 has a terrific vidding style and the song he chose was inspired. It's a little over a minute long, so just trust me and click on over to YouTube and enjoy this short video treat. Even if you've never had the pleasure of watching Stargate Atlantis, you'll enjoy this one. (And it might tempt you to check it out to see what all the fuss is about. *g)

08:38 pm VID REC: Star Wars - "Midichlorian Rhapsody"
Vidder: Jeff Bohnhoff
Musical artist: Queen ; new vocals by Maya Bohnhoff
Pairing: none
Vidder on LJ: unknown
Vidder's website: YouTube channel
Why this vid must be seen:

Jeff and Maya Bohnhoff are parodists, filkers, writers and who knows what all else, but in this rec, their musical talents are in the forefront. Wow. When Queen meets Star Wars, watch out. A masterful blend of guitar slides and someone who sure sounds like Freddie Mercury wailing the lyrics and you are swept away into the GFFA easier than any other way I can think of. How it was done, I do not know, but as a fan, I appreciate it.

Why this vid must be seen:
I love this vid because I like the music and I think the lyrics fit Jim and Blair perfectly. Told from Jim's POV the vid celebrates the deep friendship between Jim and Blair.

"I am not a perfect person" … well, no , neither of them are, thank goodness or there'd be nothing to write fic about! Good choice of clips and sleek editing make this a pleasure to watch.
