Quantum Mirror Alphabet Soup, live now through November

[fignewton]

Today is supposed to be the day for serving Quantum Mirror Alphabet Soup: twenty-six different gen fics featuring the Quantum Mirror. And for those of you who are actually ready, Teal'c offers a raised eyebrow, a gracious nod, and a regal "Indeed."

For the rest of us, though... :)

Instead of having all stories posted at once, we're doing it a little differently this time: starting now, Quantum Mirror Alphabet Soup will run until the end of November. Any author may post a story between now and November 30th. Leave a link to your story in the comments below and e-mail me a copy of your fic and your filled-out template for the table of contents.

As there are still five letters left to claim, authors may take a second letter once their first story is up. Please go to this entry to claim a second letter, or even your first if you haven't yet chosen to participate!

I look forward to reading all the new gen fic... and ~cough~ finishing my own. ;)

I'll have mine finished before the end of the week! It just needs a wee bit of a rewrite in places.

[fignewton]

Sounds great - looking forward to reading. :)

[sg_wonderland]

I've posted mine to ao3 but my desktop and I are having an argument that leaves me unable to email you a copy. I will get it to you after I beat up my computer.....

[fignewton]

Something short of a sledgehammer, I hope!

Don't forget to include a link here . Looking forward to reading!

Why not post a list of unclaimed letters?

Re: Q is for Quantum

[fignewton]

Hurray! :)

[fignewton]

In the past, I did have the list of unclaimed letters available. Back then, people claimed letters to start with. The problem is that a few letters always got left for last and then people were reluctant to claim what, to them, seemed like difficult choices.

So now people comment and say "I'm in!" and I reply, "Great, you've got letter Whatever." I also write my own contributions and ignore any lettering until the end, so I can retroactively fit my story to whatever letter is missing. It works, somehow. :)

[watervole]

Ha! A difficult letter is a challenge. Often sparks ideas.

(If I get stuck, it will be because I'm stressed out trying to sell a house, not because a letter is difficult)

Toss me a random one.

mine is pretty short, if i post it here, can you work with that? email is still wonky

[fignewton]

::grins:: How about R, for random?

[fignewton]

Yes, that should work. Or we can just wait a bit, as I will hopefully get my AO3 access back sooner rather than later.

Thanks for the link. :)

What’s Daniel done this time? By Topazowl (Gen)

http://archiveofourown.org/works/12483852

Summary: Has Daniel being playing with the Quantum Mirror?

Word count: 2689

Characters: Daniel Jackson, Jack O’Neill, General Hammond, Sam Carter, Teal’c, Walter Harriman (or should it be Davis this early on?), Sergeant Hardy (OC)

Era: Season 3, after Point of View

Categories: I suppose it could be counted as a tag

Betaed by: Solstice Winter to whom I am very grateful for helping resolve some inconsistencies in the story. Any still there are all my own!

What’s Daniel done this time?

With Daniel’s curiosity, Jack wasn’t surprised that he had tried to see the Quantum Mirror before it went back to Area 51 to be destroyed. Jack himself couldn’t wait for it to go. Married to Carter! No way and, although it had been good to see Kawalsky again, he wanted that mirror gone. So, when General Hammond told him there had been an incident and could he come back to Cheyenne Mountain asap, he just knew that Daniel and that dammed mirror were involved.

Quantum Mirror Alphabet Soup Entry

X IS FOR X-TREME CHANGES by THOTHMES

Summary:A butterfly wing stirs the air, a storm is born; a little boy goes flying, and a path through life is forged. Through the mirror, the little boy doesn't fly.
Word Count:2,268
Characters: Jack, Sara, Charlie, Original Characters
Era: Preshow/Season 10/Post show
Categories:Character Study
Author's Note: You know, I planned to do all of the original team, but it got -- complicated and unwieldy, so I stopped at the first one, a meditation on how a life changes when not put to its best and highest use. Maybe mirror!Jack has everything we would wish for our Jack, but somehow I feel it's not entirely a good thing. I think his life has made him less somehow.

Excerpt: Oh, God! No more driveway! Out over the edge, and Jack and the sled were flying through the air! Out! Out! Over the snowy ground of O'Hara's back yard, silent and free, until gravity won, and with a mighty whack that drove every last ounce of breath from Jack's lungs, they were earthbound once more.

Jack was still trying to work out exactly how breathing worked, and whether this airless feeling was what grown-ups meant when they spoke of collapsed lungs, when he realized that the big boys were cheering him. At least by the time they got down to where he was, Jack had managed to suck in a couple of big breaths, and was pretty sure nothing was broken, not even the sled. Probably best if he didn't let his Ma see him without his shirt on though. It felt like there might be bruises.
