Why this should be read: When Sam walks into Daniel's office and finds a kitten sitting on his office chair, the conclusion is inescapable...

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

Title: Investigation
Author's LJ/DWJ: penknife
Categories: theme: crackfic, humor, team
Warnings: none
Author's Webpage/Fic list: My fic at the Archive of Our Own
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.

Title: Is That A Scroll in Your Toga, or Are You Just Happy to See Me?

Warnings: none
Author's Webpage: Redbyrd's Stargate Fanfiction
Link to story: Is That a Scroll In Your Toga, Or Are You Just Happy To See Me? or Read the story on LiveJournal

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

Title: To Travel The Galaxy* (*and eat pie)
Author's LJ/DWJ: chattycatsmeow / catsmeow
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!

Title: Ketchup
Author's LJ/DWJ: unknown
Categories: theme: crackfic, humor, team, Daniel
Warnings: none
Author's Webpage/Fic list: unknown
Link to story: Ketchup

Why this should be read: This is one of my favorite crackfics ever: Armed only with a tomato ketchup bottle, Daniel must save SG-1!

Everything is just that little bit OTT without ever sliding into OOC. Makes me laugh every time. :)

Why this should be read: Aliens made them do it!

...And yet, gen. :)

Hilarious aliens, fabulous Jack voice, clueless Daniel, incredulous Sam, unflappable Teal'c. So much fun!

Title: The Wrong Button
Author's LJ/DWJ: dknightshade
Categories: Daniel Jackson, Jack O’Neill, Samantha Carter, apocafic, humor, angst, Jack and Daniel friendship
Warnings: none
Author's Website: Knightshade's Garden
Link to story: The Wrong Button

Why This Must Be Read: “Jack always suspected that one day Daniel would push the wrong button and the world would end.”

Of course, it’s which world that makes this story so fascinating…

What begins as fun and fluffy, with entertaining Wonder Twins geekery and fantastic Jack-and-Daniel banter, suddenly takes a ninety degree turn into horror when the wrong button gets pushed and Sam, Jack, and Daniel get to literally watch as a world is completely destroyed. There’s great characterization and wonderful dialogue, as Jack helps Daniel come to some kind of acceptance -- by reminding him of their shared history, and the triumphs and tragedies that inevitably result just from living.

Call this a sort of light apocafic, perhaps. But read it, and enjoy!

Title: Half-life
Author's LJ/DWJ: tallulah_rasa | tallulah_rasa
Categories: Character study, character: Daniel Jackson, character: Jack O'Neill, era: futurefic, friendship: Jack and Daniel, humor, theme: Joy of Jack
Warnings: None
Author's Webpage/Fic list: Tallulah Abridged
Link to story: Half-life
Why this should be read: In this peaceful, gently bantery post-series piece from Jack's point of view, Jack and Daniel are hanging out after a barbecue, Daniel translating the insults hurled by the kids tearing around the yard, Jack translating Daniel. (We don't know whose kids they are, just that they're there, the next generation, still full of energy as evening comes on, literally and, maybe, metaphorically.) A smile-inducing 1320-word meditation, rich with keen observations and character insights in a beautifully portrayed Jack headspace.

Categories: Friendship, Humor
Warnings: None
Author's Webpage/Fic list: Aelfgyfu's Mead Hall
Link to story: My Dinner with Vala
Why this should be read: Jack's first meeting with Vala. Complete with dinner and lots of snarky dialogue.
Missing scene for "The Ties that Bind." Jack takes the gang out to dinner while they're in DC.

Link to story: Brave New World

Why this should be read: Less than a week after Daniel returns from his most recent death, he and Sam explore how their friendship affects who they are and the choices they make. Because Sam and Daniel could rule the Universe.

Sam and Daniel share a late night conversation. 'Threads' post-ep.

Title: "Fine Spirits"
Author's LJ/DWJ: splash_the_cat
Categories: Team, Action, Adventure, Season 7
Warnings: none
Author's Webpage/Fic list: Moments of Adoration
Link to story: "Fine Spirits"
Why this should be read: This is a fun team adventure, one of those 'it could have been an episode' fics. (Except with better writing, and possibly more livestock). Written for a ficathon, the request was: Teal'c meets an old friend.

Three Tau'ri and a Jaffa walk into a bar...

Title: No Respect for Normal Dimensions
Author's LJ/DWJ: caladria
Categories: theme: crossovers, team, humor
Warnings: crossover with Discworld
Author's Webpage/Fic list: Fanfiction.net profile
Link to story: No Respect for Normal Dimensions

Why this should be read: I've always loved the idea of a SG-1/Discworld crossover, if it's played for humor instead of crack.

This fic? Made. Of. Win.

The Luggage at its most recalcitrant cowed by Jack, Death and cats and his acquaintance with Daniel, Teal'c and the Eyebrow of Irony, Sam trying to explain quantum, of all things, to Death...

I repeat: made of win, and funny enough for even non-Discworld fans to enjoy. If you love pTerry? Go read this right now.

Title: Bad Pennies
Author's LJ/DWJ: troyswann
Categories: theme: crossovers, team, humor
Warnings: crossover with MacGuyver
Author's Webpage/Fic list: Outside the Box
Link to story: Bad Pennies

Why this should be read: This entertaining story is just plain fun, as MacGuyver and SG-1 cross paths in Central America, both trying to rescue the same jaguar from various bad guys. There's delightful MacGuyver POV as we see the team through his baffled eyes, a bomb made out of tissues and Daniel's antihistamines, the resemblance that everyone sees except Jack and MacGuyver... and the almost plaintive refrain of, "Seriously, what's a Tok'ra?"

A great romp with the team, with Ba'al thrown in for good measure. I defy you to read this without a big grin on your face.


It took me a few more seconds to light the fuse on the packet and to let the string burn to the right length. In that time, Daniel said to the cat, "Just hang on. We're going to get you out of here." The cat stared at him with an expression that communicated absolutely no confidence at all. Why I thought that, I couldn't tell you.

Title: Unfinished Business
Author's LJ/DWJ: tallulah_rasa
Categories: theme: crossovers, team, SGA, humor
Warnings: crossover with House and SGA
Author's Webpage/Fic list: To Explore the Universe and Eat Pie
Link to story: Unfinished Business

Why this should be read: I don't follow House or SGA, but this ficlet made me laugh and laugh and laugh.

Written by the always marvelous Tallulah Rasa, Unfinished Business plunges us into the middle of a recruiting session, as SG-1, Sheppard, and McKay try to convince House to join the SGC. The dialogue is fast and furious and insanely funny, including competing death counts, gunshot wounds, and personality quirks. By the time the dust settles, you'll be wiping tears from your eyes and regretting that Tallulah Rasa has titled this Unfinished Business because it's a snippet of a larger work that she feels she will never complete. But knowing that there could have been more of this delightful story doesn't take away from how very wonderfully it stands, as is, on its own!
