Why this should be read: This hilarious comic strip (complete with full transcription) had me crying with laughter as it tells the real story behind the rebellion against Ra!

Not to mention the deep dark sekret about why cats can have eerily reflective eyes...

My favorite panels are the first two of page 6, but this is all great fun. Go read, giggle, and enjoy!

Fair Play by penknife (PG)

Title: Fair Play
Author's LJ/DWJ: [livejournal.com profile] penknife
Categories: character: cameron mitchell, character: daniel jackson, character: samantha carter, character: teal'c, character: vala mal doran, era: season 9-10, friendship: teal'c and vala, humor, theme: awesome women, theme: teal'c friendship, theme: valuable vala
Warnings: none
Author's Webpage/Fic list: fic tag @ LJ
Link to story: Fair Play

Why this should be read: This is an excellent look at Vala's early time spent with SG-1, complete with not really fitting in, but even that pales in comparison to the sheer humor running rampant through this fic. Vala cheats. Teal'c lets her cheat. In fact, Teal'c encourages her to cheat and comes up with thieving plans of his own to cheer her up and invents the Tau'ri Right of Gel'a'tin. If anyone can bring out Teal'c's inner troublemaker, it's Vala.

Never a Dull Moment, by Astrogirl (G)

Author's LJ/DWJ: [profile] astrogirl2
Categories: Daniel, Jack, humor, crossover
Warnings: crossover with Doctor Who
Author's Website: Master Index of My Fan Fiction
Link to story: Never a Dull Moment

Whythis should be read: This highly entertaining little romp features Daniel and the team off-world, bumping into Doctor Who, Romana, and a rampaging herd of wild boars with laser pistols. Absolutely guaranteed to put a smile on your face!


The really strange thing, he considered, looking at Romana's handwriting, was that when it came to his luck with women, getting a new vocabulary item out of the encounter and watching the lady in question run away under her own power actually constituted a significant improvement.

Why this should be read: Another fun Doctor Who crossover (this from the woman who has never seen a single ep of any incarnation of Doctor Who, ever) as Ten and Martha meet Cam's SG-1 off-world. Stellar characterization with a few deft exchanges of dialogue will leave you grinning and wishing for more!


“It was the NID, wasn’t it?”

“No,” said Martha, wondering what the NID was. “Judoon. Mercenary space rhinos,” she clarified when Daniel looked at her questioningly.

“Oh,” said Daniel. “Space rhinos. Of course.”

The guy wearing glasses was the only one not pointing a weapon at them. “Guys?” he said, raising a finger. “I’m pretty sure the bad guys don’t normally wear bowties.”

“No,” said the Doctor, fingering his bowtie, “bad guys are not cool enough to wear bowties.”

“Why, Daniel,” muttered the older white man in the baseball cap, “I think you just found yourself a twin.”

Categories: angst, humor, character: Cam, character: Daniel, character: Sam, character: Teal'c, era: Season 9-10
Warnings: None
Author's Webpage/Fic list: Fic tag at LJ
Link to story: Brain Bugs
Why this should be read: For movie night in the aftermath of 'The Scourge,' the team watches Starship Troopers. Unsurprisingly, and not all on account of the film, the tone of the evening shifts from bantery decompression to serious review of the choices they made on the mission. The cute parts of the fic are very cute, the discussion (and the fic-as-meta) is thought-provoking, and the characterization and Cam point-of-view hit just the right notes.

About 1500 words.

Rascals by Roeskva (PG-13)

Categories: kidfic, humour
Warnings: none
Author's Webpage/Fic list: www.fanfiction.net/u/1406535/Roeskva
Link to story: Rascals
Why this should be read: Normally I don't read kidfic, but while this does follow the usual trope of  'alien device turns person into kid', the story is not quite like the others. This is the first one I have read that turns Tok'ra into kids - and not just the hosts. It's hilarious to see them not only behave as children, but also children who knows very little about Earth and its customs. I really enjoyed poor Jack O'Neill and Teal'c as they try to carry out the mission Hammond gives them - babysit their two team mates along with the three Tok'ra who are all now 6 years old!
