This is amazing! I loved these OCs. Lincoln's interview was particularly hilarious and I loved hearing about Rodney's cat.

Your stories are always detailed to the point where I think, "Of course, that is exactly what would happen in real life" (real life being the show, of course).

You mean...the show isn't real life?

Of course, Rodney's cat is a horrible-looking beast that only Rodney could love. John had nightmares after he met it for the first time.

Thanks for commenting:)

I don't remember if I've already told you how much I love these fics, but I adore them. They're like miss_porcupine's fics in that they add layer of realism (and a set of interesting OCs) to the mix in a way that will never happen on the show (and probably shouldn't).

All of them are wonderful, but 2 and 5 in particular. (Mostly because I have huge soft spots for John and Jack written well.)

What a delightful and inventive glimpse at SGA through new eyes.

Marvellous fun!

Thank you! I had a great time writing it:)

This is such a cool concept-- the interviews are such a great insight into the Stargate universe and the characters. I particularly loved the last interview, with an O'Neill cameo, but they're all great bits of invention. :)

I kind of love this one myself...and I have no idea where it came from! Glad you liked it, too.

Yummy and delicious all the way through.

Each is wonderfully unique and yet they fit together so well.

Thanks for commenting! One of these days, I'm going to do a ficathon where each entry is about a secondary character in the Stargate 'verse: the helpdesk guy, the anesthetist...the idea of all those unique perspectives on the Stargate story is so cool!
