Back! Requests, recs, reminders.

So, gone for nearly a week. What did I miss? A very quick flyby through sg1debrief tagging isn't really sufficient to properly catch up with fandom! If you've posted anything that you think would interest me, drop a comment here. Amusing posts, meta, recs, random bursts of squee... :)

Things I did notice in my hasty skimming of posts for the comm:

The Fluff Awards are officially in the voting stage! My old fandom used the term WAFFy - warm and fuzzy feelings - but fluff works nicely, too. :) As I gloated three weeks ago when they were first putting the ballots together, I've recced 26 out of 32 stories that are nominated in the Gen section. I did manage to vote, although I skipped the category were my own fic was nominated. :) It wasn't easy - I chose the story that best represented the category, rather than the fic I liked best (because really, that would've been impossible.) Go and vote! The advantage of fluffy, waffy fics is that they're mostly short, quick reads, and they leave you smiling.

Hit the Road, by annerbhp. Teal'c and Vala on a road trip. Light-hearted, moving, thoughtful, pensive. If a non-Vala fan like me can love it, I can't imagine what Vala fans will think! And Teal'c is just... oh, Teal'c. Go read!

H is for Hieroglyphs, by lokei. I somehow missed this when it was first posted. This is rich and gentle, with some lovely grace touches of friendship, but it is utterly and wholly Daniel. Don't forget to scroll through the comments for quarryquest's beautiful rendering of Daniel's wish to be remembered.

On the more light-hearted side, there's lots of action between seasons over at redial_the_gate: Aurora's Season Two Trivia Quiz (yes, the correct answers often really are the silly ones!), the Season 3 Rewatch Poll to decide which eps will have international chats, and the Season Three Icon Challenge, which is still taking submissions for another week. Speaking as a mod who has shamelessly abused her modly powers to get a sneak peak at the icons that have already been submitted, I can say without hesitation that they are absolutely gorgeous. Two of them, in particular, turn this particular Abydos fan into a hopeless puddle of goo.  I hope we gets lots more submissions! We already have enough to require two rounds of voting, so why not more? :)

Hmm, fandom seems pretty busy now. Should I put my plans for Gen Fic Day and Teal'c Alphabet Soup on hold?

...

Nah. ;)

Trout influenced me to attempt Action Figure Theater which...is image heavy and may or may not be up your alley sense-of-humor-wise (this post is a prime example of why it's dangerous to keep me up late at night).

Also, Michaels Shanks is going to be starring as a parasol-toting archaeologist who hates getting his hands dirty in an upcoming Sci Fi channel movie - which amuses me greatly.

Yay for Gen Fic Day and Teal'c Alphabet Soup! Even if I won't be around to play...

(also, wow, yeah, we DO have some good icons this time)

Welcome back!

Someone who writes children's books in rhyme for a living really shouldn't laugh at other people's livelihoods.

Still:

Bwa ha ha ha!

Oh, MS. :)

I don't know. I mean, kids need books and kids like rhyme and *someone* needs to write them and it sounds very respectable to me.

I mean. Parasol-toting archaeologist. For the Sci-Fi channel. You just *know* this is going to be "good" :)

Poor MS. Somebody needs to get him a meaty role.
(though then I won't get to keep being amused by what he does end up doing)

Aw, thanks for the rec! (But it's actually quarryquest's work, not supplyship's.)

I've been writing but not getting far with much of anything--several hours on a plane tomorrow, though, so I'm hopeful that there will be fic when I return! (there better be, I have the remix and the j/d ficathon on my plate when I get back...*eep*)

Yay Gen Fic Day and Teal'c Alphabet soup! When will that be?

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I'll fix that!

Gen Fic Day will be July 8th, in honor of Daniel's birthday! Posts going up soon. Hopefully. :)

Gen Fic Day and Alphabet soup? Why, ambassador, you are spoiling us!
Yey.
Small self-promotion - if you like Hammond and 'Heroes' and minor characters, there's flashfic here: http://izzildor.livejournal.com/46214.html
