kellifer_fic :Name three fics you think I will never, ever, ever write. In return, I will attempt to write a snippet of one of them. (Assuming, you know, that I have some idea what the fandom is, etc.)
Do your worst! :-)
Me, procrastinating on my Sam/Daniel fic? Naaaaaaaaaaaaah.
Actually, I've written 500+ words on it today, so I'm feeling productive. Although I'd feel more productive if I could work out What Happens Next. If I get it finished by this weekend, is anyone up for a quick beta? I don't think it'll be much more than 1,500 words when finished.
edit: Thanks to
abyssinia4077 for the prompts - this one bit me quickly!"Major!" Jack bellowed, using all the voice projection he'd had trained into him at the Academy. "Stop flying around right this instant and GET BACK DOWN HERE!"
There was a faint, rebellious noise from several metres above their heads, and the Colonel looked irritably at Daniel. "It wasn't my fault!" protested the archaeologist, for the several-dozenth time. Jack's scowl deepened.
Teal'c was standing with his hands behind his back, calmly observing the errant Major's aerial acrobatics with her new... acquisitions. "I believe it will be most difficult to persuade Major Carter to land," he remarked.
"Thanks, T," said Jack, sarcastically. "I hadn't worked that one out. MAJOR! IF YOU'RE NOT DOWN HERE IN FIVE SECONDS, I'M PUTTING YOU ON REPORT!"
From this distance, it was difficult to tell exactly what Carter said, but it definitely didn't have the proper, respectful tone due to a superior officer. Jack sighed, and gave in, staring up at his 2IC along with the rest of his team.
"You know," he said, "If someone had warned me that Carter was going to grow wings, I'd've expected something more Tinkerbell than... Batman."
"I'm telling her you said that," said Daniel.
Jack's shove sent him sprawling onto the controls. Daniel's outflung hand hit a button, there was a tinkling sound, and they both turned to stare in horror at Teal'c.
"IT WASN'T MY FAULT!"

edit2: Jack/Felger (Avenger 2.0 spoilers)...
"Colonel O'Neill!" yelled Jay Felger, flinging himself at Jack and babbling his relief at being rescued. Jack, in response, grabbed Jay's hat and fended him off.
"Felger! Felger! JAY! What did I say about touching?" he snapped.
Jay stepped back, quickly. Jack could be so touchy – in the non-touchy way – sometimes. "Not in public," he muttered.
"Damn right."
"Absolutely, yes, it's just I'm so glad to see you – we were over there, and they – the Jaffa came, and they were shooting, and I couldn't fix the Gate controls, and they were everywhere, and Major Carter was shooting, and then you – you-" his voice sped up as he spoke, a heady combination of adrenalin and relief, and he lunged again at the Colonel, wrapping his arms around him and clinging for all he was worth. "I'm so glad to see you," he said, muffled against Jack's chest.
Jack rolled his eyes and pulled a hand free, to rub Jay's back, soothingly. "Yeah, I got that," he said, somewhat more gently.

edit3: OMG, you must read this right now!
abyssinia4077 put all three of her prompts in one fic! Genius stuff (scroll down, it's in the comments). Hahaha! I love this meme.

edit4: Last one:
Janet was displeased.
"No," she said.
Two very tall men and one teenaged girl shrank a little more.
"But, mom–" said Cassie, unwisely drawing attention to herself.
"I said no, Cassie." There were no threats, no raised voices. There was only The Tone. Cassie subsided immediately, and Janet's focus went to Daniel and Teal'c. They both flinched. Fake gods had nothing on this woman.
"I am unfamiliar with the Tauri custom of 'the prom'," tried Teal'c. "Daniel Jackson and Cassandra were–"
"Oh, don't give me that," said Janet, disgustedly. "We all watched 'Pretty In Pink' together just three weeks ago. Don't think I've forgotten."
Teal'c was vanquished. Janet turned to Daniel, her expression demanding an explanation.
"I don't see why it's so wrong for men to dress colorfully, and after all in many other cultures it's perfectly acceptable, even expected, that men will wear a long robe - the Jaffa, in fact, being an example of that, and besides, you said Cassie needed a chaperone, and Teal'c will still be the most intimidating man there, even in aquamarine tulle..."
His babbling petered out under Janet's icy glare. Daniel looked at the floor, and shuffled his feet.
"Ithoughtitwasfunny," he muttered. Teal'c shot him a betrayed look.
"What was that?" enquired Janet, crisp as a Colorado winter morning.
Daniel looked up, and gave her his best, most sincere, most winning smile. "Janet, I'm really-" he began.
An aquamarine court shoe, size 12, caught him squarely between the eyes.

Yes. I couldn't have said it better. Also, I think you're right about feeling like the other characters miss her, too. They never show anything, not really, except when it's called up in the plot (Ripple Effect), but I've always somehow gotten that feeling from them.
Well, I hate to say it, but maybe Janet's death works too well--I just can't forget her and move on. So maybe something that would have been a device in another show became something a little more real here. She was just not minor enough not to make waves with her absence.
Of course, I usually am struck by the vivid characters on Stargate--even those who are around for only one or two episodes are really very memorable. How do they do that?
I'm running a bit long, I know, but one more observation: Stargate isn't the best show on television. It's a campy science fiction adventure show that isn't as smart as BSG and isn't as cutting-edge or witty as Farscape. It isn't as realistic as Firefly, and it's not as funny--okay, it's probably as funny as any of the above, in a subdued and relatively clean way.
Yet I love it. I clutch at it. I re-watch episodes. I write fanfic about it, read copious amounts of fanfic about it, and generally wail at the thought new bits of it won't be around next year. I love the characters. I'd die if I met *any* of the actors. I have a horrible fear that the movies will suck and a wonderful hope that they won't. In short, I'm completely and hopelessly in love.
*is overly emotional*
*joins you in being overly emotional*
Exactly. And that, right there, is the reason I kept watching, even though at first I really didn't see anything special about it. Part of it is that even though it has it's share of canonical hiccups, as it were, you get the feeling that the writers truly care about What Went Before.
Okay, I think I need to give you three prompts and help distract you from teh evilness of teh ficathon:
1. Sam and Daniel have a frank discussion about how they're both in love with Jack.
2. A really angsty piece about Jack's time as a popsicle...from Teal'c's POV. (poor, frozen Jack).
3. Cam and Felger getting together to play with the SG-1 action figures.
*has surprised herself with the last one*
Also, I have a few episodes I keep going back to--I've watched WoO and most of season four too many times to admit...but my big one? 200. I could watch that one every week, just because it's so funny. (I also have a soft spot for the Star Wars
ripoffparody in...Full Circle?--they did such a great job with making it completely subtlely obvious.)"I thought we were going with Red Leader on this one?" And Jack claims never to have watched Star Wars. Is that smell of burning coming from your pants, Jack?
In fact, that would make a great prompt.
Jack held up a video. Teal'c grinned, Daniel groaned, Sam looked vaguely horrified.
"Again?" Sam said, then tacked on a "sir?"
Jack looked offended. "It's a classic!"
Daniel said, "But we've seen it at least four times!"
Jack and Teal'c both glared.
Teal'c said, "That is incorrect. We have only seen this episode of the original Star Wars trillogy once. We have seen the first two episodes twice each."
Jack said, "Yeah. And we have to watch "Return of the Jedi" again. To make it even!"
Daniel and Sam exchanged a sigh.
Daniel said, "Fine. But this is the last time."
Jack smirked. "We'll see, Danny-boy. We'll see."
And we have to watch "Return of the Jedi" again. To make it even!"
*snerk*
