For some reason, I don't like reading fanfic written in the present tense. It's probably just me being old. It's a change since I started being a fan. Everything used to be written in the past tense, now the present tense is used by lots of writers.

It jars me out of a story, without that being any reflection on the ability of the writer. (I like that fact that you use lots of characters including Selmak, whom I'm rather fond of)

If you fancy a long one in the past tense, try http://www.hermit.org/Blakes7/Stargate/Library/P2P/index.html
