Other than episode reviews and general squee about SG-1 - including regular references to

redial_the_gate - the contents of this journal generally fall into one of three categories: fic recs, meta, and my own fic.

(Some links lead to Dreamwidth. Others lead to LJ.)

Fic recs

I have been a regular reccer for

stargateficrec since April 2006, with over 540 fics on my current rec list.

If you are looking for a specific story or author, recs are listed on the master list, which is updated through January 2010. My archive of all my recs,

figs_sg1_rec, is easily sorted by tags for character, genre, and era. Personal favorites are also tagged as reccer's choice. Most recent recs can be found through the tags on my journal here. Please note that the links lead to the recs, not to the fics themselves.

The vast majority of these recommendations are for gen fic; the occasional fic that includes a pairing (usually Daniel/Sha’re, although there are one or two with other pairings) will be clearly marked. Expect lots and lots of teamy goodness fics, with an emphasis on Daniel.

I also mod

redial_the_gate:

Sha'uri in the movie
Sha're in the series
Legacy: But why were they so STUPID?
Prisoners and Past and Present: Kera and Linea
Maternal Instinct: Daniel and Bra'tac
Chain Reaction: Passive-aggressive resistance
Between Two Fires:Deconstructing success: the Tollan and beyond

Fic

I have the privilege of organizing and hosting SG-1 Gen Fic Day and the Alphabet Soup series, as well as the

sg1friendathon. The links below are to my own fics, in the order in which they were written. For a list of fics arranged by season and episode, go here.

Five Fix-Its That Weren't. 500 words. G. Five drabbles: five fix-its that didn't happen to Sam, Daniel, Jack, Teal'c, and Jonas.
