Come and Play at the Kara Thrace Gen Fic Battle

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

Please come and join in the fun at our general fanfiction battle celebrating Kara "Starbuck" Thrace at the new comm karathracelives.

We're currently accepting prompt submissions for a short prompt-driven fic battle (much like the various porn battles but hold the smut) running through the end of the month.

Prompts can be submitted until 11:59 PM EST this Saturday, July 11. A master list of prompts will be posted on Sunday, July 12, and the battle thread for posting fic will be open July 15-July 31.

Later this summer/fall, we'll also be doing a general fanfic exchange for longer stories.

Please spread the word to Kara fans far and wide. The more participants, the merrier!

Kara/Lee fic recs: the mini

[thrace-adama.livejournal.com]

After watching the mini Monday night for the shipper re-watch, I got the urge to go back and reread (for the millionth time, yes—your point? ;) ) some of the first great Kara/Lee fics I devoured found in the BSG fandom, and especially those set before or during the mini. Just to connect again with that rush of excitement I felt upon discovering this series and its fic. Since I figure many of you might be eager to do the same, I put together a few recs set either pre-mini or during the mini itself. (Yes, I did include Academy fic because, well, we only really found out it was AU in the final months of the show and because so many of them are just so good that you want them to be canon, so.)

I had such fun putting these together that I'm thinking I'll try (try!) to put a similar list together each week, though obviously some eps spurred more fic than others (has anyone ever even written K/L set during "Water," for instance? Idek.). Would anyone besides me be interested in something as specific as this in terms of recs? Do let me know what you think!

Also, feel free to add more recs to this list in the comments. There are so many amazing stories out there (old and new to the fandom) I'd never be able to list them all here, so I'd love to hear what some of your favorite pre-mini and miniseries fics are.
