Crickets chirping...? Appeal for gen fic! (Let's call it SG-1 Gen Fic Day.)

[fignewton]

I have the immense privilege of tagging for sg1_debrief, which mostly entails skimming through the newsletter's flist in search of gen fic. (The maintainers do the really hard work, and I think the other taggers cope with a lot more volume than I do.) There's always less gen fic than ship fic, but I'm resigned to that as par for the course by now.

But what's going on here, people?

Since the 17th, there has been one gen fic posted throughout all of LJ SG-1 fandom that gets tagged for the newsletter. ONE. (Thanks for that, dknightshade! I don't follow the jack_built AU, but it was a fun snippet.)

So here's my appeal: write some gen fic today, please! It can be commentfic posted here, or a drabble on your LJ, or a snippet of your current WIP. Fic recs are good, too, like the ones posted below: here and here. Anything. Gen is the one kind of fic that embraces all aspects of the fandom, so let's have some SG-1 love!

Erm... but not that kind. :)

[And yes, I'll try to post something ficcish myself today. I can't ask for it if I don't chip in myself, right?]

ETA8: Monday, 6:45 p.m. ::smushes all ETAs together:: I've compiled a roundup of all the fantastic participants! You can find the complete list for Gen Fic Day right here.

Oh, don't worry, I'd read it before. Jb herself warns about the language, and I'm always cautious about that kind of thing, since my personal tolerance is so much lower than most. It's still one of the best SG-1 OC voices, with an amazingly dramatic storyline.

You've got more recs? Keep 'em coming!

I think that you've seen most of I can rec, and I mostly rec Daniel h/c gen, which may or may not be you cap of tea, but still, something that I can remember right away:
here is (http://community.mylj.ru/hurtcomfortrecs/2052.html) rec for my two favourite stargate stories ever by Pough and Sazz.

then there's creation of myth (http://sgnovels.shahrazad.net/storiesc/creationmyth.txt) by Corby (captivity in a dark cell steals much more than Daniel Jackson's freedom) - utterly chilly story dealing with madness and aftermath of trauma (and other team so shines in it - especially Jack).

there's also breaking the curse (http://sgnovels.shahrazad.net/storiesb/breakingthecurse.txt) by ETS (tag to prodigy, Daniel's and SG11's adventure while the rest of SG1 were on M4C-862). it was witty and interesting and tightly packed, and it's always interesting to see Daniel outside of his team - and through kind-of-outsiders' eyes, too.

(I've tried to look through my del.icio.us tags and realized that almost all stories linked there came from your recs. you do really fantastic job with them, and thank you for that. yay for stargate gen love)
