You turn 26 today, Abyssis, and we know how much you adore Sam Carter. So we've all cobbled together to give you this collective birthday present of 26 ficlets: Defining Sam from A to Z. Consider it a love letter to you, about Sam, from all your LJ friends who are glad to have you as part of our lives. :)

Each ficlet was supposed to be between 100-200 words, but we're not all as good with numbers as Sam! These range from G to PG-13. Mostly gen, with a very light sprinkling of canon ship here and there. Spoilers range thoughout the series, including the first episode of S10 and casting spoilers for SGA S4.

Enjoy, sweetie. And thanks for making our corner of SG-1 fandom into a happier place.

ETA: I have included links, labeled "comment here," which will lead to the archived version of these ficlets on the authors' individual LJs. I will continue to update this post with these links as soon as I get them.

ETA2: This birthday gift has inspired an entire series: the Alphabet Soup anthologies.
