Stargate SG-1 Giant Picspam of Hugs

[eponymous_rose]

So I've got this really big post for you folks coming tomorrow, but it's occurred to me that, what with one turkey dinner and another, it might be a little late. Here's something to tide you over:

Yes, it's a Stargate SG-1 Hugspam! This only covers the first eight seasons - not that I'm not madly in love with Vala and Cam and all, but seasons one through eight are all nice and self-contained and hey, it's your requisite daily dose of Original!Team love. I'll do another for the last two seasons, I'm sure.

The inspiration for this? Hugs are awesome! During my rewatch, I got to thinking that SG-1 must contain a truly ridiculous number of hugs, and then I got to thinking that it would be pretty awesome to have a big chunk of them compiled in one place. So this is a little present to Stargate fans, a bit of a hint-hint to people who are on the fence about watching the show, and a general "Hope this makes you feel a bit more cheerful today" to everyone who stumbles across this who hasn't even heard of Stargate. Enjoy!

Lots and lots of hugs under the cut (and I mean lots - I have the fastest internet in the known universe, and it still takes a few seconds to load). It's by no means complete, and I've stayed away from a couple of really spoilery hugs - though spoilerphobes should definitely avoid this post to be safe - but if you notice something missing, chances are I honestly just missed it, because I was skimming through eight seasons of episodes, here.



(Yes, I'm still trying to figure out my screencapping on this machine - thus the red borders. Some caps are slightly lower quality because my DVDs weren't acting up to snuff.)

Before we get started, I should probably get my shipper bias out in the open, here. I'm a certifiable certified multishipper with a soft spot for Jack/anyone and Sam/Janet (there's a distressing lack of the latter in this picspam, for which I apologize profusely). I hope I haven't ignored any pairing unduly or tried to raise one above the others.

That said, I do have one pairing that is an absolute OTP, and if you don't ship it, I can't even talk to you, you fiend, you. That ship is illustrated below:


Jack/pie. Their love is pure and you know it. I'll have no Jack/cake shippers around here.

Season One

All warmed up? Let's go, then!

The first hug in the series is appropriately dramatic. Jack meets up with Daniel on Abydos for the first time in ages.


Daniel: Hello, Jack. Ah, welcome back.


Jack starts towards Daniel. The music swells!


Aaaand Jack goes right on past him.


To reunite with Skaara! Aww.


But Daniel doesn't feel too left out.


Yeah, not exactly left out.


Group hugs all around!


Aww. This is what we call a "Something-bad-is-bound-to-happen-during-this-scene" hug.


Daniel and Catherine!


Sam and Catherine!


Daniel is also the proud recipient of a hug from Unexpected Naked Dude.


Jack is slightly discomfited.


Teal'c is reconsidering the whole betraying-Apophis thing at this point. Sam, meanwhile, has fled the scene.


Daniel gets another hug from Unexpected Now-Less-Naked Dude.


Jack feels left out of all the hugging. "Catherine, hug me."


And one more hug for general heart-warminess. (Most hugtastic episode? I think so!)


Teal'c and Bra'tac!


Teal'c and Rya'c! D'awww.


Jack and Sam with a post-traumatic stresstastic hug. Guys, he's never really dead.


This has been a "Sam and Janet are Badass" interlude. We now return you to your regularly-scheduled picspam.


Sam and Cassie make me go all teary-eyed.


Okay, so not really a hug, but could you resist picspamming Jack with a puppy?


By that same logic, I have to include Sam with a cat. Named Schrodinger.


This show writes its own h/c fic, I swear. More of a clinging-for-dear-life than a hug, but you know.


Jack and Sam share an Apocalyptic!AU hug.

---

Season Two


Epically happy-making Jack/Daniel hug! "Space monkey. Yeah!"


More of the epic happy!


Kinda hard to see, but it's basically a giant group hug. They really like those in season openers, apparently.


Cassie and Sam again!


Cassie and Jack!


I think I read a fanfic like this once...


It's Jack and Daniel's turn for a h/c hug. "God, look at you. I know what this is. I know what it's like. You can get through it."


Teal'c and Drey'auc!


Sam and Jacob!


Daniel and Sha're. Now with 200% more angst!

---

Okay, okay, that's a lot of hugs.


Break for a waterfight!

---

Sam and Jacob again! Awww.


Hey, it's like a hug! An Ancient face-sucking hug!


Not a hug, but still an awesome moment in an awesome episode. "You know that meaning of life stuff? I think we're gonna be all right."


"Shave my head?"


I'm sorry. This screencap just cracks me up. Oh, Daniel.


Also, bad screencap, but Daniel is running around making airplane noises, and that sort of thing just has to be included.


Jacob and Sam again. <3!


Yeah, like I'm passing up the chance to picspam this episode.

---

Season Three


The classic "you saved my life and I saved your life" hug!


Sam and Jacob again! (What can I say? I love the whole father-daughter intergalactic heroics thing.)


AU wedding hug! (Note that this is not the same AU as above. You'll get used to that.)


When you're from a doomed AU, you tend to hug people a lot.


Poor Daniel is having a really bad day month year life.


Hugs all around!


Sam and Jacob again!

Jacob: I was thinking we could take a little father-daughter vacation together.
Sam: That'd be great, Dad.
Jacob: I hear Alaska's cold this time of year.


Sam and Schrodinger again!


Jack and Skaara!


Sam and Skaara!

---

Phew, time for another break!


Who's up for dessert?

---

Jack and Laira - let the speculation begin.

Laira: Loss is that way. I mourned my husband for a hundred days. I never left my house, I never spoke to anyone.
Jack: After that?
Laira: I left my house, and I spoke to people. Walk with me.

---

Season Four


Thor and Sam! "It was your stupid idea, Major Carter."


Jack and Sam!


There are so few hugs in this season that I'll take whatever I can get.

---

But seriously, guys, what's with the lack of hugging this season? What else could possibly be more important?


Daniel: I was right in the middle of translating that Cuniform tablet we found on P3L-255.
Sam: I still have to finish recalibrating MALP-3k's sensors for long-term reconnaissance on P5X-3D7.
Teal'c: I was unable to complete my Kelnorim.
Jack: I was just about to do something important.

---

Daniel and Sarah!


This just looks funny out of context. Actually, in-context Jack's adjusting Daniel's glasses for him, so that's kinda fun, too.


Sam and Hammond! Aww.


Sam and Joe!


Daniel is having a really, really bad day.


Not exactly a hug, but still!


Yes, that's Jack putting himself into a headlock. Only in sci-fi.

---

Season Five


Jack and Daniel desperately need hugs, here.

Jack: I should've seen it coming.
Daniel: Well, I thought the key to a good ambush was to make sure that you don't see it coming. My point is that I'm sure you did your best.
Jack: Apparently it wasn't good enough.


Jack and Teal'c! A (very) short-lived moment of happy.

---

Wait, is that the doorbell?


Why, it's Jack and Teal'c! Keep in mind that Sam has just stashed a cute-but-clueless alien dude into her back room before opening the door.

Sam: Hey, guys. What are you doing here?
Jack: We brought pizza and a movie.
Teal'c: Star Wars.
Jack: He's seen it, what, eight times?
Teal'c: Nine.
Jack: Nine times. If Teal'c likes it, it's gotta be okay.
Sam: *pause* You've never seen Star Wars?
Jack: Well, you know me and sci-fi.

Also, one of my favourite quotes, from the same episode. Cute-but-clueless alien dude has just built a Stargate in Sam's basement.

Sam: And you ordered the materials online?
Alien dude: Mostly. Sorry, but you're gonna have a pretty big credit card bill this month. Oh, and you're going to need a new toaster.

Okay, back to the hugs.

---

Sam and Jacob again!

And, yeah, not a hug, except maybe in a metaphysical sort of way:



Jack: So... where are you going?
Daniel: I don't know.

---

Season Six


Teal'c and Rya'c! I love this scene. "You need never win back my trust, my son, for you have never lost it."


Sam and that Rodney McKay fellow you may have heard of once or twice!

Rodney: That means you don't hate me!
Sam: Maybe. Too bad for you.
Rodney: Why?
Sam: I was more attracted to you when I did.
Rodney: Really?

And Rodney wanders off with a very determined "must make people hate me more" expression. ♥


This is a public service announcement from Jonas Quinn, reminding you to bring a banana for all your death-defying spaceflight needs. Now who's gonna write me the requisite Doctor Who crossover?


And "Abyss" totally counts, because Jack so needs a hug.

Jack: Okay. Put yourself in my shoes, and me in yours.
Daniel: You'd be here for me.
Jack: Damn straight. I'd have busted you out, blown this rat-hole to hell, and made sure that son of a bitch suffered.
Daniel: The others would have stopped you.
Jack: They'd have a hell of a fight on their hands.
Daniel: You wouldn't do-
Jack: Ba'al would be dead-
Daniel: Jack-
Jack: -and don't think I'd stop there.
Daniel: You're a better man than that.
Jack: That's where you're wrong.


Teal'c and Jack show off their "Why yes, we are supremely awesome" pose.


Sam and Teal'c!


Sam and Jack! Aww.

---

Time-out for that episode where they're all firefighters!


Crack? In my canon? It's more likely than you think!

---

Teal'c and Shan'auc!


Jack and Skaara! (with bonus supervising producers, sorry)

---

Season Seven


Unexpected Naked Daniel!


Jonas and Sam!


Hey, it's that part where Sam starts humming the Stargate theme in the elevator! (Apparently Amanda Tapping wanted to hum the MacGyver theme but couldn't remember the tune on the day of shooting. Alas!)


Sam and Pete!


Jack and Sam! Between this episode and "Grace", Sam needs a hug for this whole season.


Jack and Sam again, in a scene that makes me go ;_;.


Teal'c and Sam! Same goes for this scene. Curse you, show, for going all dark, there.

You know, Lost City was an awesome, awesome episode, but the very best scene of them all was everyone showing up at Jack's place, and so I must transcribe it.

Jack: What are you doing here?
Daniel: No, well, it's actually a funny story. Um. We were driving by and we saw Sam's car in the driveway and-
Jack: *to Sam* Funny.
Daniel: -and Teal'c said to me - well, he didn't really say anything, he just kinda, you know, looked at me and did that eyebrow-raise thing that he kinda does and- and I said to him, I said, "Hey! Why don't we stop by and-"
Jack: Is that donuts?
Teal'c: *holds up box* Indeed.
Jack: *Mr. Burns voice* Excellent.


And then they get drunk. Drunk!Daniel absolutely cracks me up.

Jack: You are so wrong. It's the perfect analogy. Burns as Goa'uld.
Teal'c: They are merely animated characters, O'Neill.
Jack: You're so... shallow.
Daniel: *drops his orange in outraged shock* Oh, please. Teal'c's, like, one of the deepest people I know. He's so deep! *to Teal'c* Come on, tell him how deep you are. *to Jack* You'll be lucky if you can understand this.
Teal'c: My depth is immaterial to this conversation.
Daniel: Ohhh, you see?
*long pause*
Jack: No more beer for you.


Jack and Teal'c!

And one of my favourite moments:



Teal'c: O'Neill, I wish for you to know that-


Time for a MASSIVE EPIC BATTLE OVER ANTARCTICA OH YES. Okay, so it's hard to get a feel for the epicness because most of the best shots are all shaky-cam and therefore not great for capping, but still.

---

Season Eight


Pete and Sam!


Jack and Sam! Yes, that is a horse in the background. Don't ask.


And now it's time for me to get all flaily because VALA.

Vala: Oh, you hit me.
Daniel: You hit me.
Vala: You know, we could just have sex instead.


What follows is the hilarious fight scene to end all hilarious fight scenes.


Yes, Daniel's doing the I-am-crushing-your-head thing.


Jacob and Jack! Unfortunately, Jacob missed the hug-tiem-nao memo.

Jack: Jacob!
Jacob: Jack, we got a problem. We need to talk.
Jack: Hi? Hello? How are you? Long time no see? What's doing? What's up? Hey, buddy?


Sam and Jack!


Unexpected Naked Daniel: The Sequel! Jack cracks me up in this scene, all "Hey, look at that floor, isn't that an interesting floor? And this wall. Looking in this direction."


Jack is getting a thrilling lecture about rocks when Daniel runs in.

Daniel: Jack, we need to talk! Oh, sorry for interrupting.
Jack: *grabs him* No! It's okay. If it's important, you must interrupt. You must.
Daniel: I think we may have found a ZPM.
Jack: *jumps up* Yes! *to geologist dude* Great stuff with the rocks. *to Daniel, who's actually bouncing up and down* Go.
*they run away*

And the sheer crack that is Moebius:



Daniel: We're supposed to be a team. We saved the world.
Sam: Several times.
Jack: *in a super-Minnesotan accent* Yeah. Okay. Sure. I'll buy that. Uh-huh. The three of us. The world. We save it. Great. Okay.


♥


And that's all I've got for you! Hope you enjoyed - this took a truly insane amount of time to finish.

And a request in return: Rec me some good fic in this fandom! I'm mostly looking for gen, but any pairing will be fine by me. Also, I don't know the LJ fandom well at all - where should I crosspost this, if at all?

Comments

[paranoidangel]

This is a great subject for a picspam! I hadn't noticed how many hugs there were.

There are 99 fic recs here. These are mostly from me (I used to ship Jack/Sam and Jack/Daniel, although have since moved on Jack/Elizabeth (Atlantis)) and a friend of mine (she shipped Jack/Daniel and Sam/Janet) so there's plenty of choice there. And I think probably all relatively old stuff because we've been seduced into other fandoms since :)

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Sweeet! Thank you so much for the links! :D

[mysticalchild_isis]

Woo, hugtime picspam! I heart SG-1.

Let's see, some fic recs:

Some epic crossover crack- SG-1/Torchwood/due South:
untitled crack by troyswann

Doctor Who/SG-1 Crossover:
Goddesses, Consorts, and Explosions by Lady Yueh

And Jack/Daniel is kind of my OTP, so here are some gen and slash J/D recs:

Home From Here by Merry
East of Omaha by Taselby
amabar, amor, amabor by greensilver
To Drive the Cold Winter Away by Thevetia
For Now by Komos
Esprit de Corps by quercus
A Good Thing by The Grrrl

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow, thank you so much for the recs! I'm completely blown away by the few I've glanced over thus far.

[hoshinekoyasha.livejournal.com]

Awww! Awesome♥

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked! ♥

[bubbles83.livejournal.com]

Awesome picspam! Hugs are excellent!

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

They are indeed - glad you enjoyed it. :D (this picspam was way too much fun to make!)

[pockyandkoalas.livejournal.com]

I had only previously seen the odd episode on a sunday afternoon, but after this picspam I feel I must watch it properly for all the huggy epicness and such. Yay.

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Ooh, do it! The huggy epicness compels you!

Glad you liked!

[earlwyn.livejournal.com]

Look at all those awesome hugs! And teamliness! Man, I wish I had a week free so I could sit down and marathon all of SG-1 straight through. This has totally made my night.

And why didn't I think of Jonas Quinn and the Doctor before? Obviously they are fated to meet.

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Oh, man. One week with nothing to do but marathon SG1? That would be the very definition of awesome. Someday!

And why didn't I think of Jonas Quinn and the Doctor before? Obviously they are fated to meet.

I may have started plotting a totally self-indulgent crossover fic already.

[amaresu]

Very awesome. I was giggling all the way through. Oh, Team. I love them. And I completely forgot about the horse and the the head squishing.

sg1_debrief is the SG-1 newsletter.

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it! And thank you so much - I'll go leave a comment on someone else's newsletter for once. ;)

[palmetto.livejournal.com]

You must do one for the last two seasons because of the hug in my icon!

(and if there are crossovers to be had, Sam and Vala need to become Romana's companions trufax)

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

I just came across that hug in a music video, though I haven't seen the episode yet! ♥ ♥

(and if there are crossovers to be had, Sam and Vala need to become Romana's companions trufax)

...okay, I think I want to just write awesome crossover fic for the rest of my life, now.

[penfold-x.livejournal.com]

Oh my goodness, you are taking me all the way down memory lane (I cut my mediafan teeth in SG-1 fandom; most of my close friends that I met through fandom came through SG-1)! Thanks for this--I bet it took an eternity to put together, but it's a wonderful record.

I have some recs to share, all gen (though I do love me some Jack/Pie). Preface: my tastes are for long, novel length stories with a lot of H/C, Jack and Daniel friendship, with a side of team bonding. It's not everyone's taste, but it's a niche that had a lot of really excellent writers back in the day (some of whom have turned pro).

Fate's Reflection by Yum@, the grandaddy of SG-1 H/C novels. Epic length, featuring our team and their post-apocalyptic mirror universe doubles (a mirror universe in which one of Daniel's foster families is the O'Neills). Words can't express how much I love this story. Yum@ also published an outstanding SG-1 zine, Foundations, which I would look for if you collect printfic.

Any novel by ELG, but especially Ripples, Into the Labyrinth, and The Quality of Mercy. If you want to get a taste of ELG's prose without committing to a novel-length story, try True Value, a very enjoyable short story.

True Foundations by Scribe. Really, you can read anything that she wrote and enjoy it (including her "shower series"), but this is my favorite, a remix of the Voyager ep, "The Chute". Prison planet--you know you want some of that!

Foundations and Demons by Brenda. Really, anything by Brenda is excellent (if you like Ghostbusters or the Jossverse, you want to check out all her stuff).

Gatejunkie has written lots and lots of great SG-1 stories (and published an outstanding zine, Gateways, that I would definitely look for if you're into collecting printfic), but Hell to Pay is a personal favorite.

Walls is one of my favorite Jmas stories, that has a good sequel, Windows and Walls. Jmas has written tons of good SG-1 fic, much of it shorter than novel-length, if the novels are off-putting.

If you like Sam, you'll probably like In the Name of Science by PHO, a great Sam-centric action/adventure piece (with some H/C of course).

Don't know if you care for some Atlantis with your SG-1, but Martha Wilson has written a wonderful AU crossover series that starts with Retrograde. Especially recommended if you like post-apocalyptic flavor.

And if you still don't have enough, try "Battlefields" or "In the Valley of the Shadow" by Ellen Caldera or "Hand in Hand" by JB at this site.

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Wow. Thank you so, so much for these recommendations! I have this habit of jumping into well-established fandoms extremely late, and it's always so much fun to discover the fannish history. (And as a bonus, your ficly tastes line up perfectly with mine - nice!)

I haven't been reading much fic in any fandoms recently, so it's going to be so nice to settle back in to the odd evening of quality reading. Thanks again!

[rdamel.livejournal.com]

For gen, find sg fignewton on livejournal (sorry, I don't know how to do the link stuff) and at the top of her journal she has her recs--lots and lots of them. All gen. She is particularly a Daniel fan, but she has lists of good Jack fic, good team, etc., etc. I generally agree with her recs--I can't think of anything she's recced that was bad, though it's not always to my own taste.

For Sam/Jack ship, you can't go wrong finding the lj of splash_the_cat and she has recs there, as well as her own fic, which is outstanding.

Of course there is the lj community of stargateficrec, which has lots and lots to choose from, all sorts of types of stories.

And I think I just found this picspam (good one!) via the community of SG1 Debrief, which has a variety of links weekly.

Enjoy!
Melissa M.

[sg-betty.livejournal.com]

Agreed, and her recs are extensive enough to take you to many author's LJs/archives, where you can find lots more.

The link is Here. (http://figs-sg1-rec.livejournal.com/)

[kalquessa.livejournal.com]

Here via shannonsequitur, who knew this would brighten up my day. This was awesome!!

I'll second what rdamel and sg_betty have already told you: Fig is the best for gen recs, and has them further broken down into team fics and duo-centered friendship fics, as well. Easy surfing!

Oh, and you said you weren't really familiar with SG-1 fandom on LJ, so:

sg1_debrief - Debrief posts a list every week covering all things SG-1 on LJ.

sg1_ever_after - Happy Ending fics comm...fills me with warm fuzzies.

stargateficrecs - Massive and covering all manner of fics. Various volunteers signs up to rec categories of fic each month.

redial_the_gate - It sounds like you just did yourown rewatch of the whole series, but if you want to come geek out and squee with other fans about the show, this rewatch comm is great fun. We just finished Season 5 so we'll be addressing That Episode Where They're All Firefighters shortly.

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Wow, thank you so much! It's great to have a bit of a super-quick intro to the LJ fandom - I really appreciate it. :D

Glad you liked the picspam, too!

[izhilzha.livejournal.com]

Oh, this is awesome. *bookmarks*

Although I don't see the Daniel-Abydonians group hug in here! :)

Recs:

I see you have been directed to sg_fignewton's recs already; I second this, she has a ton of them, all neatly categorized, and almost all gen.

And, since I am shocked no one gave you these yet:

Walked Right Out of the Machinery (http://www.kekkai.org/rydra_wong/out_of_the_machinery.html), by rydra_wong
AU. What might have happened if Ba'al guards had reached Jack 30 seconds earlier in "Abyss."

You Can't Always Get What You Want (http://community.livejournal.com/betacandy_sgfic/3866.html), by betacandy
The one that is an extension of "Moebius" and totally, technically canon.

Teal'c's Five Favorite Board Games (http://community.livejournal.com/tealc_fic/30108.html), by paian
Beautifully structured insight into our favorite Jaffa.

And Rheanna has three splendid SG-1 fics here (http://www.goldenmaze.com/#sg1); they're all good, and Jack-centric, but "Roses in December" and "The Midas Touch" are both in my top 10 list.

And last but not least, my favorite SG-1 fic EVER:
For God and Country (http://sgnovels.shahrazad.net/storiesf/forgodandcountry.txt), by Doc
Amazingly written, suspenseful, painful, teamy, h/c-and-action story. Classic team, with an emphasis on Jack. I've lost track of how many times I have re-read this one.

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Hey, nice catch with the Abydonians! Okay, so I realized when I got to the end that I was missing that one, but I was hoping nobody would notice. ;)

Thank you so, so much for those recs - I flipped through a couple of them, and they look absolutely fantastic. Can't wait!

[archersangel (from livejournal.com)]

very nice. here via shannonsequitur

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Glad you enjoyed! :D

[paian]

Oh, this is so awesome!

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Thanks, glad you liked it! More hugs are always a good thing. :D

[cesy.livejournal.com]

I love this, particularly with all your comments and interludes and stuff. I see people have already linked you to most of the main comms.

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it - and I'm so blown away by all the great links people have been sharing. :)

[ladyhalbourne]

Great picspam :D

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D Glad you liked.

[zats-clear.livejournal.com]

here because of paian, who writes stories that are fabulous reading for any Stargate fan! You are very funny!

I may have to borrow some of your screencaps for nefarious purposes (see lj and dreamwidth for explanation)

Also, feel free to peruse my delicious account for some great story recs. In particular, use the wayback tag for those things that have been mysteriously and tragically removed from the internets but can be revived using the internet sarcophagus wayback machine.

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Yay, glad you liked it!

I may have to borrow some of your screencaps for nefarious purposes

Oh, please do! I meant to put a little disclaimer at the top requesting that people go right ahead and use these for any and all nefarious purposes, because that's what screencaps are for - thanks for reminding me. Glad they'll be of use!

Also, thank you for the recs - and now I'm never going to be able to think of the wayback machine as anything other than the internet sarcophagus. Hee!

[aurora-novarum.livejournal.com]

Came via paian's rec. And yeah the main comms of sg1_debrief and stargateficrec already linked.

Oh and redial_the_gate...they're just doing signups right now for recaps for Season Six so you'll get in right at a good point! (Disclaimer, I'm one of the mods).

Hee. Now I want to see that Jonas/DW banana crossover too!

I *adore* gen writing. I would list my favorite authors, but I'll end up leaving somebody out, I'm sure. Most (though not all) of my recs are gen and are in this tag (there's some vid recs too. I kinda use that tag as a catchall). I also write gen SG-1 fic.

If you're talking stargate, I'd love to friend you, (Gen SG-1 for the win), but you may not want to have me. I wrote a fic on Jack/Cake.

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Oh, yay! I'm so glad you liked this. I'm really considering redial_the_gate despite not having much spare time in the next little while, because I'm getting frustrated with my magical ability to get involved in a fandom just as canon grinds to a halt. It's a very silly superpower. ;)

Now I want to see that Jonas/DW banana crossover too!

...would you believe I wrote the whole thing - all 6500 words of it - and got so sidetracked that I completely forgot to put a banana in? Back to the old drawing-board.

And thank you so much for the recs! I'll definitely be checking out your fics as well - I feel like I've got enough reading material to last me for ages, here. Hurrah!

If you're talking stargate, I'd love to friend you, (Gen SG-1 for the win), but you may not want to have me. I wrote a fic on Jack/Cake.

*gasps* You fiend!

All totally righteous indignation aside, I'd love to friend you right back! It's awesome to have someone around who is also full of squee about Stargate, and I make a bit of a habit of following genfic writers around on principle. Besides, Jack/Cake is starting to win me over, but don't tell anyone.

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

Oh, that was delightful! Oh, man. I giggled like anything the whole way through. Thank you for the love!

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it - it was a ton of fun to put together. :D

[majorsamfan.livejournal.com]

Came here by way of paian and aurora_novarum.

Some of the best SG fanfic writers are seldear, sjhwtolerance, annerb, triciabyrne1978, rowand, surrealis and non-eljayer Sally Reeve (aka Sally Malcolm author of a few of the books published by Fandemonium). Some of those eljay writers do produce mature fic. Also, there's a bi-weekly newsletter sg1debrief you can watch for fic rex and other fandom info.

I haven't written much SG-1 fic lately, but you can find some of it on my LJ under tag majorsamfanfic. Largely an S/J shipper but some gen and other pairings around.

I've copied most of this stuff over to my LJ, but here's my old webpage: http://home.comcast.net/~auntiejill1/StargateSG-1.html

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Wow, thank you so much for the recommendations! It's so great to have all these starting points to get acquainted with the fandom - I no longer feel like I'm wandering aimlessly, here.

Looking forward to reading your fics as well - thank you for the links!

[gunhilda.livejournal.com]

Aw, this was very fun! Thanks for sharing!

Hugs! Of all sizes and varieties = GLEE!

I feel constrained to point out, however, that Jack clearly has more than one OTP, even of the non-human variety, since some folks ship him with pie or even cake, and others ship him with his P-90. You will notice in every season after they issue him one, he hugs that in it's little harness thing. :D

Versaphile Fic Recs (http://versaphile.com/recs/index.asp) is a site that collected Stargate fics with writing of high quality, and then gave you a plot synopsis, a sample and basic info to sort by like gen, het, rating, etc. Currently it is being merged with fanfic recs for other fandom to form one big rec site, and is thus under construction. But you might check in from time to time. The compiler lost her taste for the fandom due to some excessive fanwank before the series ended, so it mostly covers the earlier seasons.

I saw in your response to another comment that you don't mind screencap...*ahem*...borrowing, so I'm toddling off to help myself. *whistles insouciantly*

*peeks head back around the corner* Oh - and don't mind the icon. I'm not doctrinare or anything. No rabies. Safe! *voice receeding* Really!

I'm convinced, I'm convinced! *hands over "Rabid Jack/Pie OTPer" flags, jerseys, and assorted memorabilia* I'm just not cut out for the OTP-ing life. ;)

Thanks muchly for the link - I love checking out recs that are well-organized like that, and I'll definitely keep an eye on the site.

Oh - and don't mind the icon. I'm not doctrinare or anything.

Hee! Well, I'm on a pretty big Sam/Jack kick today, so it's definitely not out of place. ;)

Lol, this was a great revisit of some favourite episodes. Although, I second the opinion about Daniel/alltheAbydonians being the best ever group hug. And I love the pic of the three of them on the steps - yeah, Daniel, gay much?

Fic recs... everything by Jb and Ellen on the Tablet. Classic and so brilliantly plotted and written gen fic. You MUST read True to Form by Jb. It is THE best HC fic. Ever. Then go read Flashback by Ellen. It will blow your socks off.

Somebody further up recced ELG - you'll love Quality of Mercy. It's still the best novel-length HC fic I've ever read. I refer to it myself when writing.

And the best archive for gen fic is Stargatefan. http://www.stargatefan.com/fiction/index.html
Many wonderful classics can be found there, and they're archived by type and episode.

I have Daniel-centric gen fic of my own - http://capricesesh.googlepages.com

Oh, yes, another long favourite is The Battle Royal by Tiv - http://www.members.tripod.com/tivester/Fan_Fiction.htm
Fun and games on Abydos.

So many good fics, so little time. I really should do a rec page, myself. Enjoy, and welcome to the fandom!

I still can't believe I missed the Abydonian hug. Maybe it'll get an entire picspam of its own at some point?

Thank you so, so much for reccing all those fics! I can't wait to have time to just dive in. :D
