Here can be found S'cubie-approved (or at least, not loathed) Stargate fanfic. Fanfic for SG-1 or SGA can be posted here.
As always, please indicate whether it's het or slash, give it a rating (e.g. PG-13). If you're really kind, you'll include a short synopsis.
Have at it.

Tessarae, on my friends list, left a link for this wonder in one of her posts and as a result I've been indulging in high-quality SGA fic since yesterday afternoon (also running errands, doing household repairs, and otherwise committing usefuls: just not commenting here or writing things I should be). In any case, A Stargate:Atlantis Musical Interlude is a single post of Seige of Angels' in which every line of a song is actually a link to a related fic. Some of them in the first two verses are very long, and do not have word counts, so beware. All of them are well written, vigorously plotted, not always happy endings, some quite tragic. Predominantly McShep, with ratings from PG to NC-17. Includes a link to the epic AU A Farm in Iowa which I'd read a bit of on Ladycat77's rec back last spring and which I'd been looking for. I will be recommending several of these stories separately but the list itself is invaluable. Julia, back to self-indulgence of the SGA kind

Well, now that there's a place for it, here's some SG recs - Old School recs, for that matter. The JD Divas site includes a lot of classic Jack/Daniel stuff hereA good general site is, of course, the Heliopolis Star Gate fanfiction archive

Rather than confuse the matter by puttiong other-than-Jossverse WIP's in the WIP thread, I think I'll put: WIP at the top of all WIP update posts in their appropriate fandom, if there's no objections? In any case, Beadfic is a dandy writer, who has some of the solidest Giles stories in existance on her record; she's played in other verses, and is now writing McShep. The first chapter of "Vertigo" went up this morning, and it hooked me immediately- think Spike after his dream in BtVS s5, only with common sense and no assurance that the object of his affections even likes guys. beadtific.livejournal.com/204531.html&style=mineJulia, waiting for the boys to be up and gone so I can do useful things

There's a bigger SGA archive at Wraithbait. I have a ton of personal archives bookmarked, also, but since they're for what the folks at Journalfen call "Multifandom BNF's" I'll try and get a post with those names put in the main Archives thread. Julia, I just found out last night, for instance, that Wax Jism (she's Finnish, maybe it means something different there?) writes BtVS as well as Stargate and Sentinel fic

SGA has a whole lot of AU fic- and some of it is much better than AU fics in the other tow fandoms I read. Wesleysgirl has written one of the best, On Life and Living where there's no SF factor, but John and Rodney are very much themselves (and Rodney McKay's whiney self-importance is a gift to fic writers, since it's so strongly drawn in canon). The title is a play on Elizabeth Kubler-Ross' On Death and Dying; the story's "hook" is that John is a widower, and the plot takes us through the stages of coming out of grief. Plotty, full of convincing detail, rising to NC-17, and right up there with the best stuff Wesleysgirl has ever written, which is saying a lot. Julia, her Stargate fics are not indexed on her website, though, which is a pity

Another resource, for new fic: SGA Newsletter. Two things, though: first, I am not yet sure how the fic in their daily list gets chosen, or by who, nor how the quality relates to what's in the huge number of daily fic postings. And second, if you are on dial-up, or if you've experienced slow loading for long comment threads on LJ, be aware that the memories links on the left side of the page may not load completely; I've never gotten past July, 2006, in the Oldest-first McShep listings. Julia, it'd be nice if they went in and instituted partitions in their memories or LJ got their memories to work but, I'm not optimistic.

Sheafrotherdon... I get distracted troyng to resolve that name into its probable component parts, and may have skipped earlier fic recs just because I can't figure out what it means or how to pronounce it (Bad me. Bad, bad me.) has written a touching response to the Body Modifications challenge at SGA Flashfic. Bound By Will is a variation on the "one of the team is captured" plot, where the consequences for the uncaptured are as rough as for the captured. McShep, PG, short. Julia, I found it while avoiding the horridly large individual multi-fandom archives post which is going to be altogether too much code!

One of the things which got me reading SGA fanfic is that it's what Yin is currently writing; this morning what Yin wrote is a cute little bit of McShep, with Laura Cadman observing: yin-again.livejournal.com/372480.html?style=mineJulia, really have to go back and read all her SGA stuff, as I know I've missed 90% of it

Ladycat777 starting to write SGA fic was one of the things which nudged me toward reading in that fandom; She wrote a fic I missed, the day before Christmas, a tasty little piece of John looking at Rodney and Rodney being running-off-at-the-mouth drunk. Granted, McShep, R, and amusing: ladycat777.livejournal.com/813304.htmlJulia, I've got several long fics to rec but am looking for a single link for them, since they're multi-parters on LJ and LJ memories is so unreliable

This is one of the first SGA fics I read, from a recommendation on my flist nearly a year ago. It's McShep, by Seperis, one of the people, like Lamardeuse and Cesperanza and Resonant, who have written very good stories in multiple fandoms dating back many years- "multifandom BNFs." Seperis is a writer who has a wonderful control of words and meaning- "Midwinter" can barely be said to have a plot, but it is not PWP by any stretch of the label. It's a dance, quite literlally, that the Athosians dance in the cold dark days, to cherish life and living. seperis.illuminatedtext.com/sga/midwinter.htmlJulia, PG-13, maybe? Lovely thing, in any case.

So, everything I think "I've grown to hate plotless fic" Ladycat777 comes along and reminds me that some people are able to take a snippet of h/c, or porn, or mere character development, and make it sing. To whit, "Awful, No Good, Very Bad Day:" ladycat777.livejournal.com/815871.html?style=mineJulia, OK, McShep, again, for it is the ship of my people. PG, and darling.

Rageprufrock has a familiar name; I believe I know her from Fandom_Wank, although the qustion is, is she a wanker or a wanka? Whatever: very very nice set of writing skills, though, so I suspect it's the latter. "Summer House" fills an important gap in the fic world: it's a Eureka/SGA crossover. I mean, how many people are there with Rodney McKay's IQ, and how many of them are in Eureka? See: there has to be some contact there, and since this story starts with Fargo hiding under his desk, well, Rodney. PG, McShep, barely, and getting Rodney out of town is a motivation for all sorts of research: rageprufrock.livejournal.com/289790.htmlJulia, fun story.

This is my new favoritest opening line ever. It beats out "Once upon a time there was a Martian named Smith." At least to me. "Okay, whoops," John said, just after Rodney turned into a dolphin. Shortish McShep story by Speranza called The Wheel, Atlantis, Wars And So OnStory doesn't shatter the planet, but it's funny, cute, and nicely weird.
