Jack feels that the words "The good thing is ..." are always a little ominous.

Why this should be read: This short fic is so charming and full of convincing detail, that the characters and gate 'verse spring to life. Daniel translates Ancient poetry, Sam and Rodney argue about physics, eat hamburgers and write equations on their napkins. About 3,750 words.

Rodney. Sam. Gardening instructions. Physics. Oh, and also muggers.

Assess This, By BetaCandy (PG)

Link to story: Assess This

Why this should be read: In this fic SG-1 goes to the infirmary after "Emancipation", and I have no problem saying that I liked it much better than that episode. It's one of the best Janet fics I've read, in which we get to see Janet's first impressions of SG-1, (almost always fun), and learn a lot about Janet in the process. The stage is set for Janet's relationships with SG-1 and her easy friendship with Sam. And there is plenty of low key humor and funny lines but they don't undermine my belief in the characters or the essential seriousness of the elements that this story explores.

On Janet Fraiser’s third day at the SGC, she meets SG-1 for the first time, as they return from the mission in "Emancipation". Sam gets in trouble, Daniel gets in trouble, Jack gets maternal, and Janet gets to go home and shower.

Lost in Translation, by Vathara (PG)

Title: Lost in Translation
Author's LJ/DWJ: unknown
Categories: under the influence, drama, team, humor, Walter, Janet, Hammond
Warnings: influence-induced kinda-sorta pairings (nothing explicit)

Link to story: Lost in Translation

Why this should be read: A Goa'uld is too lazy to read the instructions, and a rabbit-shaped yellow furball almost takes down the SGC... entirely by accident!

I am very fond of this fic - it was the first ever story I recced! - and it is both hugely entertaining and easy to visualize as an episode happening on-screen. Like many other older FF.net fics, the scene breaks have been stripped out, making it somewhat hard to follow; but trust me when I say that it's worth it. Even with the extra "Danny"s. :)

I apologize in advance for not being able to get my snippet from the fic behind a cut. No matter what I'm doing I can't get it to hide!

Author's LJ/DWJ: Unknown
Categories: Team, Humor, Under the Influence
Warnings: None
Author's Webpage/Fic list: Winterstar at Ancient's Musings
Link to story: Harry Potter and the Flagon with the Dragon
Why this should be read: Things get quite interesting when Sam, Jack, and Daniel suddenly believe they are characters (and by default everyone around them) from Harry Potter. This fic is funny and then takes a turn into a touching exchange between Jack and Daniel (aka Ron and Harry) before the humor and banter comes back. This is one of those fics that always makes me smile on re-reading.

Visiting Hours, by Teand (G)

Why this should be read:
After being hit with a staff blast and healed by Vala with a purloined hand device, Cam is held for observation and tests in the same room of the same hospital where he recuperated after Antarctica, and the rest of the team pitches in -- each in her or his own delightfully in-character way -- to make his stay bearable. Fabulous Cam point of view, smart and entertaining dialogue, and outstanding, 100% sap-free team friendship. About 4600 words.

Why this should be read:
This is a cute little ficlet that just proves that the magnificent, wonderful SG-1 sometimes aren't the perfect heroes, and each can be as dorky as the rest. Sam is the victim this time, and Jack naturally finds her at a most inopportune time.

Infirmary Notes, by Aurora Novarum (PG)

Why this should be read:
This is probably one of my all time favorites. Its a day in the life of the SGC's Chief Medical Officer, as narrated by the CMO through her dictaphone. She brings in many characters from several teams, including SG-1, and Janet's day is filled with stress, drama and a bit of humor each day.

Link to story: Teal'c's Five Favorite Board Games

Why this should be read: This may be my favorite Teal'c fic. It is beautifully written, funny and moving. I actually choked up at the ending the first time I read it. Starting with "Checkers" and ending with "Chutes and Ladders" each game gets longer, more involved and more interesting.

Plus it has wonderful illustrations! And links to some of the games mentioned! (I'm a geek about background stuff.) Really an amazing fic in only 2800 words.

Why this should be read: Because this fic is too funny to not be recced for the crackfic theme. I'm late but just pretend you've traveled back in time a few days.

Vala learns about a yearly tradition not far from the Springs and Daniel regrets not sticking with his "no"

This is my favorite kind of crackfic: utterly hilarious, perfectly in character, with zingers flying all over the place. Great fun!

Link to story: Investigation into the effects of zat'ni'ktel fire on the common Peep, by Samantha Carter

Why this should be read: Hammond knows that a bored SG-1 is a dangerous thing...

A completely straight-faced written report by Sam on what happens when you fire a zat at Peeps. As delightfully cracky as it sounds, and absolutely for the win!


The subjects for the experiment, a box of Peeps marshmallow candies, were provided by Dr. Daniel Jackson, and Teal'c was responsible for firing the zat'ni'ktel. Colonel O'Neill assisted in the disposal of experimental subjects after testing was complete.

Why this should be read: This ficlet is funny but not terribly cracky - well except that it's a tag to Brief Candle - which is completely cracked. And it's toga!fic!

... an off-the-cuff comment-fic from [info]redial_the_gate. This is an episode epilogue for S1: Brief Candle, inspired by [info]kahlessa, who, on the subject of Jack, Daniel and Teal'c in togas said, "Fanficcers, please take note that this should happen post haste."

Categories: theme: crackfic, humor, team
Warnings: none
Author's Webpage/Fic list: sg-1 tag
Link to story: To Travel The Galaxy* (*and eat pie)

Why this should be read: Cowardly Lion has made several SG-1 comics, every single one of which makes me laugh out loud! In this particular adventure, screencaps for Red Sky are transformed instead into Jack's search for the secret ingredient to ensure the SGC wins the intra-galaxy bake-off. Teal'c is the only one of the team who seems semi-sane, but that's par for the course, isn't it?

Other gen comics include Gone Astray (an Unas wants to adopt a stray Daniel pet), Road Trip: SG-1 Style (SG-1 going on a "road trip" with Jacob/Selmak), and Rumor Mill (Felger wants to chase down the rumor about Colonel O'Neill for The Gate Gazette).

I just wish I could make her post comics daily!
