A very interesting article on what it really means to work out a new language and how that translates into fic:

lLinguistics in Arrival

Mind you, our Daniel is even more of a polyglot than Louise :) but I thought there were some nice touches here.

So go write Daniel fic. That's always a plus. :D

If you're a fan of old skool SG-1 fic, you might want to check out The Tablet, as Jb has informed me that it won't be around much longer. Many of the authors hosted there have moved on to AO3, but there are also fics there that might not be available after the site goes down in a few months ( Read more... )

As mod/admin for stargateficrec, I was e-mailed regarding the Fanatic Fanic Multi-Fandom awards, which are apparently open to the Stargate fandom for the first time this year. I took a quick look at the site; it seems to have been around for at least two years' worth of awards, so it is probably legitimate ( Read more... )

Admittedly, SG-1 already is firmly in the "unbelievable" category when it comes to writing science stuff... ;)

But since our wonderful fanfic authors often do a better, more credible job than the show writers, this is a fascinating article that I think a lot of you might enjoy.

Writing Believable NanotechnologyEven if you're not an author, it's ( Read more... )

I have started reading Soup fics (yay!) and wanted to archive mine, as usual, on Heliopolis and Stargatefan. Only Stargatefan seems to have disappeared ( Read more... )

I'm home! Exhausted but very happy after a lovely trip and a lovelier homecoming. :)

The monthly roundup will have to wait until next week, but here's a few links in the meantime:

The sg1friendathon had 25 fics! \0/ Suzannemarie put up the master post here. My own contribution was Left UnspokenThe Ficathon Frenzy is currently live and will last until Monday. ( Read more... )

Just four days left to claim a prompt for the friendship ficathon at sg1friendathon! I am so happy to see such enthusiastic beginnings - we've got 25 people signed up already! Is our fandom awesome or what?

I find writing trends so fascinating. When we last did this in 2008, I was very taken aback that Jack and Daniel friendship wasn't claimed at all (although ( Read more... )

Eep! Here it is, five minutes to midnight, and I've just remembered that several people have suggested we should celebrate SG-1 today, in honor of the fifth anniversary of Continuum's release: our last SG-1 canon.

No time to write, so I will offer several links instead:

My Continuum-based fic (both Alphabet Soups, heh) are Vala in A is for Aspect ( Read more... )

Towards the end of each month, I put up an admin post at stargateficrec, asking for volunteers to post recs in the following month. Since taking over, I've tweaked the rules a bit to make reccing a bit easier - the minimum number has been reduced to two, for example, and stories that were recced in 2007 or earlier are eligible to be recced again ( Read more... )

Well, hi there!

I'm back, although I'll only be able to drop by only two or three times over the next twelve days or so. :)

I would first like to thank those of you who sent me birthday wishes in my absence, including, to my astonishment, paid free time on DW for my own journal, the rec archive, and
