Happy SG-1 Gen Fic Day!
Not sure what I'm talking about? Take a look at previous round-ups for Gen Fic Days and Alphabet Soups.
Comment here with links to new fic, older fic, recs, meta, picspam, icons, vids - anything, as long as it's gen and related to SG-1. Shameless self-promotion is cheerfully encouraged! The theme of the day is epistolary, although fanworks can involve any subject.
If you're an Epistolary Alphabet Soup contributor, this is where you post links to your story. If you're unsure of procedure, please take a quick look here. Don't forget to e-mail me a copy of the story and a filled-out TOC entry, too.
On Tuesday (or Wednesday, depending), I'll post a round-up of all links and (hopefully) the complete anthology of Epistolary Alphabet Soup, although that might take an extra day or two.
If you missed the opportunity to contribute and you'd like to join in the fun, there are still some letters left to claim. Go here to snag a letter. And if you're not an epistolary fan, any new ficlet you care to submit will be happily welcomed as part of general Gen Fic Day, too!

Author's notes: My sincere thanks to DennyJ for her helpful beta work and to Fig Newton for organizing this Epistolary Alphabet Soup.

I swear upon my honor that I wrote exactly what she dictated. My request is that you take the letter and decide if this message needs to reach its destination. It is now your burden.”

Getting to Know You, by Jb (PG)
Summary: See, now, this is why you shouldn't touch alien devices ...
Word count: approx 17,300
Link: Getting to Know You
Excerpt:
Squatting on his lab bench, the bulky device vaguely resembled a hunkered-down, discontented troll – or at least it could, maybe, if Bill had actually ever seen a troll and if he was at all prone to anthropomorphism, which he wasn't.
"For you, though," he mumbled, attaching a lead to its surface, "I'm tempted to make an exception. I don't usually assign personality attributes to inanimate objects, but there's something about you that feels almost as intentionally, belligerently stubborn as Colo–"
"So, not making much progress, then?"
Startled, Bill turned to see Dr. Jackson casually leaning against the door frame. Self-consciousness warmed his cheeks as he realised he'd been overheard. Thank goodness the gripe been interrupted just when it had. Bill didn't know Dr. Jackson, had never directly interacted with him before, but all the same he was pretty sure that what he'd been about to say wouldn't have been well received.

H is for History
H is for History, Talulah Rasa, G
Summary: Historians use primary sources to better understand the past. For a 22nd century historian, what better sources could there be than the recently published letters and journals of Dr. Daniel Jackson?
Word Count: about 2200
Characters: Daniel, mentions of just about everyone else
Era: Classic team, S. 1-7
Categories: character study (kind of); outsider point-of-view
Excerpt: Excerpt: Interestingly, this is also not Dr. Jackson’s only mention of tissue or tissues; he uses the imagery of "a box of Kleenex" over and over again. The meaning of this symbol is tantalizingly unclear, though many academics have concluded that Jackson’s research was underwritten by a major 20th century corporation, perhaps Kimberly-Clark or Proctor&Gamble.

Era: Series 6 after Abyss
Categories: Crowing!
Dear Ba’al
Thank you so much for you hospitality, not! Come on, you must realise by now that you are NEVER gonna beat SG1 so get over it! Even with Daniel all glowy, we still got the better of you so if I were you, I’d give up – NOW!
And I don’t know what you did to that poor girl but she is safe now and you are never getting anywhere near her again.
Did Yu beat you up? Sure hope he did Bocci. Can’t believe he helped us out but, of the whole sorry lot of you, he’s probably at the bottom of the list of most horrible Goa’ulds. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t put his head on a platter so we are still mortal enemies but, in this case, that wonderful cliché, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" applies so I’ve gotta give him some credit.
So, having kicked your ass, SG1 is back (even if Daniel is only here in spirit and we have Jonas on the team) so you’d better not be messing with us!
By the way, Daniel’s right (as usual); this pretend letter writing is quite cathartic!
Yours
Jack O’Neill (But that’s Colonel to you)
Re: B for By the way, Ba'al

Edit: could you send me a link to where you're posting it for yourself? LJ, DW, AO3?

V is for Vellum, by <user name="magibrain"> (T)
Summary: Heimdall holds the past close.
Word count: approx. 750 words
Characters: Heimdall, Freyr
Era: Season 5-6, just post-Revelations
Categories: Character study
Author's notes: I miss the Asgard.
Excerpt: Heimdall regarded him. The controlled mutations in their genome manifested in such strange and curious ways, sometimes – his own significantly divergent voice, Freyr's tendency toward cynicism. That faint pessimistic outlook made him a conservative military commander – adaptive, in its way.
Still. He missed much of the... wonder that Heimdall could see. He was not temperamentally suited to the sciences, as Heimdall was.
