Happy birthday to Pepper and Traycer, two of my favorite people!

I haven't done this in the while, but what the hey. Pepper, Traycer, give me a fic prompt. No promises. :)

In a complete non sequitur, I was rereading a very old friend and came across this delicious metaphor:

they tried to shut him up, but he kept recurring like a decimal

Some people just have a way with words.

The happiest of birthdays to [personal profile] nomadicwriter! Your icons have brought so much joy to fandom, not to mention your wonderful fic. :)

So here's some Jack and Jacob fic for you, because you asked for Jack and Jacob being cranky at each other as a birthday prompt for last year. Er. ::scuffs toe::

Summary: Sometimes, a little crankiness comes in handy. A missing scene with Jack and Jacob from Reckoning. 685 words. Rated G.

There's so much I want to write, but RL writing seems to be eating up all my creative skills, leaving all those poor WIPs weeping softly and commiserating among themselves. They're getting kind of annoying, frankly. So I want to get some fandom writing done just to get them off my back.

So what else should I do but ask for more prompts? :)

On that note, I have been sadly neglectful on wishing so many of you a happy birthday of late. So if you had a birthday in October or will be having one in November, please leave me a prompt below: a character from classic SG-1 (S1-8) and a word/phrase. (Yes, Aurora, this will leave me with three prompts for you that are as of yet unwritten, but do leave one anyway!) These will probably end up being drabbles, but at this point, I'll just be happy if I write something.

Happy belated birthday to all those I missed, and many squeeful returns. :)

First of all, a belated happy birthday to [personal profile] cleothemuse and early birthday wishes to [personal profile] sg_wonderland! Best wishes for glee and squee. :)

Second, just a bit more proof that I see Stargate in just about everything: It's 2010, and we're predicting solar flares. Someone call the SGC and tell them to check the timeline for any stray Aschen!

Third, [info]redial_the_gate does Resurrection this week. The recap by [personal profile] maevebran doesn't go up until Tuesday, but here are a few random thoughts. )

I have been sadly remiss in wishing happy birthday to a number of people this month. Here's hoping that Sid and Beatrice Otter and Splash and Beanpot all had squee-worthy days!

And, erm, anyone else whose birthday notice I might have neglected...

First of all, a belated happy birthday to [livejournal.com profile] thraesja! Hope it was a good one. :)

My lovely partner in crime, [personal profile] pepper, will be posting her recap for Space Race at [info]redial_the_gate later today. Presumably her version will be a bit more enthusiastic than mine. :) Meanwhile, a thought or three on the ep:

lousy storyline, shining character moments )

The happiest of birthdays to [personal profile] pepper, fellow mod and general perpetuator of squee! Hope it's a great one. :)

I told myself I wouldn't write any more birthday fic until I finished at least a few WIPs, but in an astonishing feat of dexterity, I have actually written fic for you! So here's some teamy goodness for you, Pepper, with lots of love.

Summary: When the team comes under attack, Sam uses any weapons she can get. Slightly silly teaminess, set in S4 but with no real spoilers. 843 words. Rated PG.

Yes, a very belated one... because I'd hoped to finish the icon prompt you gave me for your birthday. And I didn't, because what was supposed to be a light and fluffy ficlet kept expanding until I discovered an entire story lurking in there. Sigh. Okay, yes, not sigh for the story because I think it will be a fun adventure fic, but sigh that I couldn't write what I wanted. :)

How can a writer tell when a ficlet doesn't want to be a ficlet any more? In this case, it was the slow realization that all the detail I was trying to relegate to "backstory" wanted to be told. And now I have to go research flash flooding, heh. I am not sure what it says about me that this makes three stories in which weather played a part, and all three of them involve heavy rain. It must mean something, I'm sure...

[personal profile] thothmes, I hope the day was a great one! And your icon fic will get written. One day, anyway.

Happy birthday to [personal profile] randomfreshink, Queen of Betas, who not only writes superb Jack and Daniel but helps me write the very best that I can, too!

I don't offer you a ficlet, because I'm already working on one. Naturally, it's not quite ready on time, sigh.

I hope your day is happy and squeeful and full of all things wonderful!

She slices, she dices, she writes fic and does icons and banners and creates music vids...

Since I'm never online on Fridays, I'm going to wish an early happy birthday to [personal profile] sg_betty, who is warm and enthusiastic and generous and a gen girl after my own heart. :) I won't offer you a fic prompt, Betty, because I'm already working on yours - although I won't say how far I've gotten!

Here's hoping there will be talk of cake and lots of glee and squee!

Happy birthday to Cesy, who is full of fandom squee!

And happy birthday to Nightspear, who made me believe kidfic can work (when she writes it, anyway) and loves Daniel and Abydos as much as I do, if not more. :)

How about a fic prompt, you two? Current trends suggest you can hope for it some time before this time next year, but no promises. ;)

Another bi-monthly roundup! I hope to be more on schedule in the future. :)

Fics )

Fandom )

Recs: Jack, Gen, and Humor )

Ordinarily, I simply urge people to sign up to rec at [info]stargateficrec and leave it at that. This time, however, I would like to specifically encourage anyone who is a fan of Sam and Daniel's friendship to sign up for that specific category. It took over a year of lobbying to get Sam and Daniel their own category, and then six months after the official decision was made before the category was set up. Since then, it's been standing empty. Let's show some Sam and Daniel love (but not that way, heh) and get them some recs! :)

(I know - I'm just as much at fault, although I did rec the category this year already! I'm already signed up for Teal'c and Daniel friendship this coming month, but I'll definitely be getting in line again after that.)

And on a final cheerful note: Happy birthday, [personal profile] lokei! ::squishes you thoroughly:: Hope it's a day full of squee and glee! How about a fic prompt, to add to my outrageous backlog? :)

The very happiest of birthdays to [personal profile] zats_clear, who is made of awesome and never ever fails to make me grin. :)

If you leave me a prompt, Zats, I will try to write you fic.

...But I'll leave the captions to you. ;)

Tomorrow, August 24th, is Gen Fic Day! I'll put the official entry tomorrow morning my time, and everyone and their robot (or young clone) is welcome to link to old fic and new fic, write drabbles or comment fic, link to WIPs or rec their favorites - anything, as long as it's gen and related to SG-1!

And since it was just [personal profile] beanpot's birthday - hope you and Enza had a great one, Beanpot! - I am hereby formally soliciting save!Jonas fics in honor of the occasion, because Beanpot writes the best S10 Jonas fix-its ever. :)

At the same time, we will be serving Jacob Alphabet Soup - 26 ficlets by 26 different authors about our favorite Tok'ra! Alphabet soup writers, you might want to take a quick look at the detailed instructions on how to post.

If you have any questions, feel free to leave them here. And spread the word to your flists, please - here's to 24 hours worth of SG-1 gen squee!

Happy birthday to [personal profile] rigel, who brings squee and glee and silly SP generator SG-1 art and puts gen squarely on the moon!

I wanted to write you "the funneh," but couldn't quite manage it. I even considered your current enthusiasm and tried to come up with some way to make Teal'c sparkly, but I've already done that kind of thing. So you ended up with good old-fashioned SG-1 adventure as your birthday ficlet. Hope you enjoy it anyway. :)

Special thanks to Speedy Gonzales [personal profile] aurora_novarum for the super-speedy beta and title assistance!

Summary: It will take flawless teamwork to navigate the Labyrinth and save a teammate's life. Luckily, SG-1 is good at that kind of thing.

Rated G. ~1,530 words. Set some time in late S2.
