Happy birthday, Daniel! It's Gen Fic Day!

[fignewton]

Dr. Daniel Jackson turns 43 today, and he's gone years now without dying even once! Well done, that man. :)

We are celebrating the auspicious occasion with SG-1 Gen Fic Day! Comment to this post with a drabble or commentfic; link to a longer story; recommend a favorite fic, whether it's new and shiny or a well-loved classic; post part of your current WIP. Anything goes, as long as it's gen and related to SG-1! I'll post an organized round-up of all the links on Wednesday.

If you're one of the twenty-six wonderful authors who are helping cater the party with a generous serving of Teal'c Alphabet Soup, please follow the instructions detailed under the LJ cut.

Hurray for gen fic, and SG-1!

How to serve Teal'c Alphabet Soup

In the subject line of your comment, type the title of your ficlet: A is for Apophis, I is for Ice Cream, and so on. If you are posting on behalf of the author, please include the author's name in the subject line as well.

If your ficlet is too long for a single comment, you have two options:

1. Reply to your first comment with the second (or third) half so that readers can follow it easily.
2. Post your ficlet in its entirety on your own LJ, but add a comment to this post with the name of the ficlet in the subject line, a line or paragraph or summary in the main body of the message, and a direct link to the post on your own LJ.

Tomorrow, together with the round-up Gen Fic Day post, I will also post the complete anthology of Teal'c Alphabet Soup. Stories that are below a certain word length will be included in their entirety; longer fics will be excerpted, with links to the complete fic in the author's LJ. This is due to posting constraints, to get all 26 stories in a single post.

Whether or not your ficlet will be included in its entirety, I strongly recommend that you repost it on your own LJ for archiving and feedback purposes. The anthology post will include links to each author's LJ post.

Thanks for your contributions, and helping us celebrate Teal'c, Daniel, and the rest of SG-1!

Daily he weighed the cost, but he could, at last, say to himself, “I live free,” instead of vowing only, as Bra’tac had taught him, to die free.

Oh, that is just fantastic.

And the whole thing is nostalgic and wistful and lonely and aching. How hard would it have been for Jack, too, to watch the kids learning karate?

Beautifully done!

Teal'c just totally breaks my heart seven ways from Sundays. His arc as a character through ten seasons is so amazing, and CJ does such an incredible job of giving him to us. He's been overshadowed for me by other characters in this fandom, but I find him so interesting. The IBARW stuff last year was my "window" into thinking more about him, and I look forward to writing more of him in the future.

Thank you for doing this. His friendship with Jack is probably my favorite thing about T, and a close second is trying to pick apart how he and Daniel came to be friends. Because they did. And that is nothing short of amazing.

Thanks for your kind words; glad you enjoyed it.

Oh, yeah. Word to both. That instant click Jack and Teal'c had, and the friendship Teal'c and Daniel share despite overwhelming odds.

And Sam! He's been conditioned to think of women as non-warriors, but he accepts Sam. That moment when he so gravely surrenders his staff weapon to her at the end of COTG? Absolutely awesome.

Really, how can anyone not just love them all to pieces? :)
