On the Outside, Looking In (S:tM, Season One)

[sg_fignewton]

The first in the On the Outside, Looking In series: episode-related drabbles from the perspective of an outsider or a minor character. There's one here for Stargate: the Movie and every episode from Season One. Rated PG.

Love, love loved this!!! I couldn't stop reading once I started, and I am still amazed that you came up with 22 drabbles! You make it seem so easy. :)

While I loved them all and will join in the cries for "More, please!! Pretty please??" (Hee!), I enjoyed Hathor's POV the most. You've managed to portray her personality perfectly and I was grinning by the end of it. lol

...she allowed a frown to mar the exquisite perfection of the host's features.

OMG Perfection!!!

Easy, nooooo... It took me over a month to do these! But thank you, I'm so glad they worked out so well. :)

Hathor was kinda fun, I confess. Getting that utter narcissism reduced to drabble-size... heh heh.

Please ma'am - may we have some more?

These are SO awesome!

(Pretty please?)

[sg_fignewton]

Oh, thank you! Yes, there will be more. I hope to do the entire series. But it'll probably take a while. :)

Emancipation, First Commandment, Cold Lazarus

I'm enjoying all of these, but savoring them-I'm reading a few at a time and will leave comments on the ones that particularly stand out.

The tag for "Emancipation" is one of the best. I'm afraid everything wasn't automatically fixed by the time SG-1 left the planet, and your view is more realistic than the one the show suggests! I hope Odval is being a little pessimistic.

I like your "First Commandment" ficlet for much the same reason: life goes on after SG-1 has left in ways that the team doesn't necessarily expect or consider. Jamala is wise!

"Cold Lazarus" must have been absolutely brutal for Sara, and we never saw her again! I'm glad you gave us a taste of her perspective.

Thanks for these! I'll be back for more later!

Detailed feedback is always love. :D

Heh, yes, I kinda hope Odval is being a little too cynical here, but... I don't think so. There's no good reason for genuine change to take place. And yes, Jamala struck me as a rather intelligent young fellow who has learned to be a little more wary of credulitiy!

Poor Sara. Such a class act, and such a raw deal. She deserves more fic love.

Thank you so much!

Augh! LJ messed up and lost my second round of comments! Unless they come out of the ether later (in which case please pardon the double reply), I can only offer my memory of what I wrote.

"Fire and Water": Yes! MacKenzie was a competent doctor who did some good too!

"Singularity": Janet's right about who needs to teach Cassie to clean up after the required dog!

"Solitudes": I think it must be very hard to work with an alien-especially when that alien has a second, smaller alien in his gut, and you've been taught that the little alien is evil. Nice work.

Bad LJ! No biscuit! :)

I admit I've developed a soft spot for poor vilified MacKenzie. And I think Janet put Jack in charge of cleanup detail for a long time afterwards! As for Castleman - yeah, it can't be easy. But I think all SGC personnel are a cut above the rest, and he would've managed it.

Thanks again for your lovely detailed feedback. :)

So many interesting thoughts to contemplate, here!
