Fig Newton

So back in the fall, I asked for a fic rec icon and samantilles created the lovely one I've used here and have been using regularly at figs_sg1_rec. But while Jack and Daniel are always a pleasure :) I did want something a little more team-centric!

Happily, there is an iconfest running right now (still open through the 26th - go request something!) and when I posted my request, the talented hsapiens gave me not one, but two team icons!



::admires them some more::

And in other news, gate_women fic is due next month, and one_prompt's Breathe prompt goes live on June 1st. The problem is that my Women of the Gate prompt has decided it would be just lovely if it turned into the first of a five things on Sha're. Okay, I can deal with that. Sort of. Talk to rachel500 and find out if I can post early. But nooooo, that wasn't enough! Now the story keeps insisting that I pull the lens back further and further. It's not enough, for example, to deal with Sha're's first day back on Abydos; I have to write about the decision to hide her and Amaunet's history and why Sha're is convinced Daniel is dead...

Look, Sha're, you know I adore you beyond reason and all these five things are parts of your story that I really, really want to write. But I cannot write 6,000+ words (at least) between now and the 30th, okay?

Are you listening?

...Sigh.

I always did say Sha're was a pushy woman. :)

Just to remind you all that Janet Alphabet Soup is due on May 18th, on SG-1 Gen Fic Day! A few of you have mentioned that you've got gen fic saved for the occasion - I'm very excited about that. :)

Also, squee! I finally have the perfect Alphabet Soup icon, thanks to samantilles! Take a look at her icon post for all the variations - lots of nice ideas there for future soups. :)

So, my latest fic featured Teal'c pwning the team - again - and it occurs to me that I write Teal'c pwnage a lot. So, inspired by some rather gleeful comments (thanks, guys!), I hereby present my latest icon: Teal'c, First Prime of Pwnage! Shareable with credit, and comments are greatly appreciated.

In order to avoid making this a gratuitous icon post (and do you know how long it took me to figure out what GIP even means?), I am hereby requesting that everyone comment here with links to Teal'c pwnage fics - preferably your own, although I'll take recs for other people's stories, too! Gen only, please, although I'll allow for non-shippy canon pairings like Teal'c/Drey'auc.

To get the Teal'c squee started, here's the list of my own fics where Teal'c shows the team that he is infinitely awesome and unbelievably cool and, in fact, the ( First Prime of Pwnage: )

That's my list, folks. Now let's see yours!

And Purim Semeach to all those of you who are celebrating today. :)

Wheeee! annerbhp made me delicious icons, because she is wonderful and I am slowly and carefully coaxing her into my tentacles of gen goodness. :)

The Benevolent Dictatrix one is going to get used a lot, I suspect...

Thank you, Annerb!

Because my flist is nearly as awesome as SG-1, they sneakily arranged the most delightful birthday present for me: sg_fignewton Alphabet Soup. Even the "_" got a ficlet! :D

Be aware that there is a very nice and extremely tasteful largeish image included... :)

Thank you to holdouttrout, stargazercmc, zats_clear, traycer_, eve11, abyssinia4077, pepper_field, randomfreshink, shutthef_up, maychorian, crazedturkey, and supplyship for my birthday fic. And Abyssis, don't think I'm unaware of the extra special ~smooch~ you deserve for taking on the massive effort of organizing all the this!

There is NO WAY that I can sufficiently squee in the space of a comment or three, so I am giving all my feedback here. Spoilers ahead! Do not open the LJ cut until you've gone and read even single one of these fantastic and funny and teamy fics!

I cannot possibly thank you all enough. But as a very feeble effort, I offer this:



Or this one, which I played with a bit more:



I'm not very good with Photoshop - I hope you can see the hint of the chevron there. But it's free for the taking, for anyone who wants it! :)
