Looking for all the old classics ...

[brihana25]

I just found out that Stargatefan is gone.

So's Heliopolis.

AlphaGate is still up, and it looks like maybe AO3 has a lot of them.

But it's been a lot (a LOT a lot) of years since I went trolling for fic. So ... hit me with your old classic recs. I have every intention of spending my entire weekend reading old Stargate fanfic.

Oh, hey you!

Man, SG1! I wish I could remember favorites or where to find them. Wait, looks like Scribe's site is still out there.

So's The Comfort Zone.

[brihana25]

Hey!

Oh, man. The Comfort Zone! Many a hundred of hours was wasted on that site by me.

*happy sigh*

I know, me too. And thanks to you, I'm reliving SG1 fic myself, hah!

I'll have to change my master list on LJ now that Stargatefan is gone. :(

Burden of Command by darcy - Area 52. Still there.Not in A03. I've had this in my Keepers folder since 2003.

Memory's Muse - http://archiveofourown.org/works/10473. In Keepers since 2003.

You'd Forgotten Love Could Mean This by Delilah. No idea where I got this. Apparently 2003 was a good year for SG1 fic.

And that's all I kept, apparently. Luck!

[theemdash]

Oh, man, I'd forgotten "You'd Forgotten Love Could Mean This." Nice.

[brihana25]

I've heard of that one. I can't remember if I've read it before or not.

Adding it to the ever-growing list.

[khek]

Huh. I didn't know so many places have vanished. I just tried The Stade, and that's gone too.

I saved most of my favorites on my computer...which I guess is a good thing for me, but not for telling people how to find them.

Still, if you know a title and I have it, I'd be happy to send a copy!

[brihana25]

That's the worst part! I can remember the plotlines of most of my uberfavorites, but I have no idea what their titles were or who wrote them.

Like ... the bachelor auction fic, where Major Davis dressed Daniel up in ripped jeans and a white tank top and a bomber jacket, and made him lose his glasses, and it turned into a bidding war between some really nasty lady and Jack/Sam/Teal'c/Janet *and* General Hammond.

Hi! The fic you described sounds really interesting. Have you by any chance remembered the title of the fic? I would love to read it :)

[theemdash]

Ask and ye shall receive! (I hunted up new links for a few of these. I hope more people will move their stuff over to AO3. Y'know, like I should.)

All of these are Jack/Daniel recs. Apparently most of my favorites are NC-17 fics. I tried to include some with lower ratings, though.

First Impressions by kormantic, NC-17.
This is my very favorite Jack/Daniel fic because the story is so unique and I love the exploration of their relationship/characters.

Simpatico Series by Roo, NC-17.
A nice long, settle in for-it, Jack/Daniel starting from Season 1. This is one of the first fics I obsessed over in this fandom. Sadly incomplete, but what's there is so good that it's worth reading.

Two Sides of the Same Coin by dith, NC-17 (as I remember).
Jack and Daniel stuck in a Ancient Roman society having to play their parts. (Another delightfully long one.)

I Was Born to Love You And I Will Never Be Free by Princess of Geeks, NC-17.
"Fallen" fic about Daniel's memories returning.

Getting Closer by Niamaea, PG

[brihana25]

I think I've read Analog Myth a time or two. :) And Signs of Weakness is a good one, too. I love self-recs.

I never was much of a Jack/Daniel reader. I'm one of those who's convinced they were madly, desperately co-dependently in love with each other, but I don't think they ever slept together. I've gotten more than a few recs that pointed me toward HKH, though, so I might have to check it out a bit more thoroughly.

[theemdash]

Then let me toss some gen recs in here:

There's a B-List in My Closet by daisycm83, G.
Crack-fic-ish, what happens to recurring characters when they're not on SG-1.

The Lorax by mousewitchy, PG.
Cam getting himself into a weird situation with SG-1.

Do Not Stray by Otter, PG
Daniel and Sha're-one of my favorite fics exploring their relationship.

Something Like Chutney by Tallulah_Rasa, PG-13
Stranded off-world with everyone trying to make new lives for themselves.

Hora Somni by Regann
Missing scenes for "Threads"

[theemdash]

Also of the recs above, I'd still say First Impressions is worth checking out for the world-building. I remember that way more than I remember any sex (in fact, I didn't remember any but I read the comments I left on the post and one mentioned it).

[ldyanne]

Stargatefan is gone? Wait... What? It feels like I've just lost a friend. It was one of the first places I found for online fandom and the first time I posted a story there, I thought it was the coolest thing ever!

I think there was a plan to move the fic to AO3, but I don't know what is happening with that.

[brihana25]

I don't think it's been gone very long. I found a post on Gateworld about it, when I tried to go and found it gone, and it was dated July 17.

I know.
