deird_ljAck! Quick! Someone post a fic at AO3! We're level with Harry Potter, and they're about to overtake us!

In other news, it is December 1st. So I am busily decorating my house with lots of Christmassy stuff. Once finished, I must post photos...

Plus, from what I've seen, SGA fic tends to be cracky to the extreme. It's not just "Rodney and Zelenka fall in love", it's "Rodney and Zelenka start talking only in quacks (continuously, like they're suddenly ducks) for months on end, thus falling in love because they're the only people who can understand what each other are saying". Seriously - that's what the SGA fandom considers a normal fic. So they tend to be able to produce some fairly entertaining stuff.
Plus... Rodney. Seriously. He's just that awesome.

It's been in open beta for a few weeks now, and the BtVS fics are currently the second largest collection on the archive (behind SGA *shakes fist*). We've all been frantically uploading stories so that we can get to the Top Fandom, but of course all the other fandoms are uploading things too...
* Yes, I just invented a new verb.
