one fic where Rodney cheated on John stayed with me. Oh, link?
And while the ability to make me cry is something I admire in a fic, that's not the only way to make me feel. Going "awww" or laughing is just as valid. Yesterday at work I was stuck doing a really boring job (and will probably do the same today :-/) but was grinning like a loon, because I was listening to the podfic of Catch 19.
Actually a couple of times people at work have commented because I have a big smile on my face while staring at a spread sheet or something similarly boring, not realizing that I'm really listening to fic.
Also, as a side not on listening to stories. You know how you said you were uncomfortable listening to the porny moments, and I said I wasn't? Well, I don't know why, but the book I'm listening to now makes me really uncomfortable when they get to the porny moments. I'm not sure if it's because it's a professional reader doing it, or the fact that it's not fic, and so the porny bits are a lot more flowery than fic porn is, but it makes me squirm. :S
