tarotgalVERY cute Remus/Sirius stick figure site: Vault 711
There's an especially cute comic where Sirius has a cold that reminds me of a couple of my stories, LOL
Though, stick figures aside, the other art is not too bad(I'd seen it before, just not the comics), and the humor is fantastic, even the non S/R stuff... I cannot stop laughing at some of the comics! Ohh ohhh ohhh! Especially making fun of movie Lupin's moustache. Anyway, I thought I'd share.
Anyone have any good Daniel SG H/C recs?
Okay, I'm going to go put on my lesbian folk singer playlist and try to get this HP femslash sneezefic story written. I don't like the term femsneeze. I just... ick... I don't like it. I know one of the defining characteristics of a community and culture is creating new words, but that's one I don't particularly like for some reason. What's the opposite malesneeze? They just sound weird to me in my head. And I'm not going to say them outloud because I still have trouble saying that word even when alone *blush*
*goes back to be entertained by cute Sirius sneezing comic*
Oh, though speaking of which, I know I've mentioned how much I adore Mushi's art, and I know I've posted the link to this a couple places, but here's a multi-page Ron/Harry sneezing comic I love :-)
Oh, though speaking of good Marauder art, how cute is this? Remus after a transformation, with James and Sirius to take care of him (tis from this site since I don't like just pointing to images without page references)

Daniel H/C fics
Date: 2004-02-20 03:49 pm (UTC)Just so you know, I believe Daniel has more hurt/comfort fic written about him than any character in any fandom, ever! I'd be willing to put money on it. (Isn't it funny though, how almost every fandom seems to have that one character that just begs to be the one whumped by the fans? Even funnier is how I almost always manage to fall for that character before I even read my first fic in that fandom...I must have some sort of built-in h/c radar or something! *G*) Anyway, you'll almost never go wrong if you google advanced search various combinations of words such as 'Daniel Jackson fever sick' or 'Daniel Jackson pain unconscious' or something to that extent. It also helps if you add the name 'Teal'c'' in your search to limit your possible results to SG-1 only, although then you miss any SG-1 fics that might not have Teal'c in it.
Anyway, without further ado, I bring you a list of sites that have Danny-whumping content: (Note: A lot of these are mixed fanfic archives, but SG-1 naturally has a high proportion of h/c fics in these archives. Also, this list is by no means complete, but it's a start!)
http://hometown.aol.com/OXBastetXO/whippingboy.html
http://sg1angst.tripod.com/
http://www.sg1hc.com/ (This is a personal favorite site of mine!)
http://www.stargatefan.com/ (go to 'Fanfiction' and skim for stories tagged with a [Hc] rating)
http://www.bunnyfic.com/gen_menu.html
http://www.ancientsgate.com/
http://www.thealphagate.com/ (try using the handy 'Search engine' to locate the h/c fics)
http://www.shahrazad.net/~sgnovels/ (This site has long, novel-length fics. Again, you can select just h/c if you wish)
http://www.btinternet.com/~clark/index.htm (anything by Scribe is usually worth a look)
Happy reading!
Re: Daniel H/C fics
Date: 2004-02-20 04:30 pm (UTC)Yay! Thank you thank you! :-) If you have any specific favorite stories, I'd love to see 'em. I think I've worn out the Yahoo search engine with interesting combinations of h/c SG1 fanfic queries, but there are a number of sites you listed that I've never visited or thoroughly explored, so this is most helpful. I think I've entirely devoured The Comfort Zone, Stargate Angst, and Stargate Fan. It's just hard when there's so much out there to know which are the ones to concentrate on first... and I'm picky with pairings. I adore Sam, I really do. And I've no problem with her comforting Daniel. Just when it starts to get more than just really, really good friends... I start to tune the story out or stop altogether. I just can't see it. I sometimes have trouble with Jack/Sam just because I adore them in their 'sexual tension' mode where they both know what they want, they just can't. So to read stories where they can sort of takes the magic away from me.
Ever read 'There Is a Pain So Utter' by Pough? Took me something insane like 2 hours to read the whole thing a couple days ago but it nearly killed me it was so painful and sweet. Definitely a v-word warning would have helped though since that's not a very happy thing for me, but even so I was quite blown away by the emotions and visuals in it(and given the subject matter, I wasn't thrown off guard completely). I think I liked it because, though there was an overwhelming amount of pain, the comforting happened on so many levels and was so prevalent throughout.
Okay, I'll stop rambling now. Thank you much much for many lovely links to fics!!! :-)
Re: Daniel H/C fics
Date: 2004-02-20 05:29 pm (UTC)Interestingly, I write this right after reading the newest chapter of a post-RotK fic that has driven me to tears at least thrice in it's 44-chapter-and-growing length. The difference there is that the fic never caused me to lose hope, ever. There was a shining thread of beauty and love running through the entire thing that kept me going and hungering for more, despite the tears. Or perhaps I just hadn't had long enough time with the SG-1 characters before I discovered LotR, but I just don't love the SG-1 team with the same kind of depth that I feel for the LotR characters, even as adorable as I find Daniel to be. Please tell me that made some sense to you and I'm not just rambling here...(ok, maybe I am rambling *G*)
Re: Daniel H/C fics
Date: 2004-02-20 06:54 pm (UTC)I guess I love the SG-1 crew a lot more than I thought...I'm a sobbing wreck right now, and there's still 7 more minutes to go in the episode. *sniffles, then resumes sobbing as the trumpet plays*
Re: Daniel H/C fics
Date: 2004-02-20 07:33 pm (UTC)Oh, I know. I mean, I knew from before Season 7 started that this particular character was going to be killed off this season. I expected it sooner, and I wasn't fooled by the commercials with Jack getting hit. But at the same time I was pretty damn scared when he went down... Sam was fantastic in expressing what I was feeling throughout. And I'm not one of those people who liked Janet more than the 4 main characters... but she was definitely my 5th favorite and I was sobbing when they popped the tape in because I knew that was how they were going to show her dying. They took a very annoying approach throughout the show... though at times I really liked it (the artsyness and avoiding the truth in the directing was an interesting parallel to the investigator and the camera crew). But when she got hit I think I jumped and started really crying, which carried through... especially with Daniel in the room all alone... and Teal'c comforting Sam... and the video(even though I hate American flag imagery over scenes, especially in this case because it's greater than the US... though I suppose the point is the US is the one leading the war and paying for it both in lives and dollars). And the very end... with the baby... I kinda saw it coming but I still cried the hardest at that point. And *sniffles* I think I have a thing for guys holding bears and making them wave or talk, heehee. But, yeah. It was an interesting episode. And in the end I was more moved by it than frustrated at certain parts that I would have done differently had I been telling the story. (Maybe because I just saw no need to pretend about who died since I've known for, like, a year now) And I would have liked to have seen Cassy, I think.
episode spoilers ahead
Date: 2004-02-20 08:15 pm (UTC)The actual tape of Janet's death didn't really upset me much, as it was too fuzzy and I would have loved to actually be able to see more of Daniel's on-the-spot emotions at the time of the shooting...I think that would have set me off far sooner. What really did it for me was Teal'c, whose role in this ep was small but beautiful...such quiet dignity and sweetness was exactly what was needed at that moment. The tears overflowed when I saw the papers in his hand. And then, I started sobbing in earnest when Daniel said that he owed Janet far more than he could ever repay...all too true, given how often Daniel has been whumped or 'died', and especially given the circumstances leading to his Ascension.
The memorial (what little we saw of it before it was so rudely cut short so we could watch that little flag-waving bit of propaganda from the irritating journalist) was beautiful. I can think of no more fitting tribute to Janet than the listing of the names of those whose lives she saved, not the least of which was every member of SG-1. Just lovely...my only regret is that she didn't get the full wormhole wreath ceremony like Daniel got in 'Fire and Water'.
I thought the end was cute, but not as sad as the stuff before it. It was adorable to see Daniel with the teddy bear, but I was pretty much cried out by then, and ticked off by the little irritating editing choices. All in all, it was nice, but I agree, it would have been better to include Cassandra. After all, the poor girl has had her family killed *twice* now...
Re: episode spoilers ahead
Date: 2004-02-20 08:34 pm (UTC)As an artist and lover of history, I went back and forth during this episode on the video crew. (In part 1 I just plan hated them) I wasn't that pleased with the "final product", though. Oh, but yes, exactly, that part with Daniel talking about Janet was definitely the most emotional part of the episode- ack, I just made myself start crying again, lol- especially since she was there when he died and couldn't do anything more to help him, and he was the one with her when she died and coudln't save her but was able to help save the one she was trying to heal. But his yelling in the background of the tape was enough for me. I could imagine the rest all too well.
As for Jack... I'm just not sure what to make of him. I loved first season Jack... attitude, friendship, purpose, humor and brains. And while I DO always laugh when someone uses a technical term and he changes the word so it's cute or funny... I have a REAL problem when he's uncharacteristically stupid. Several times he mentions his obsessions with astronomy and space... and then doesn't understand things like solar flairs or whatever. I just can't get ahold of what they're trying to do to him and it feels inconsistent. Of course, when he's on screen less overall, it makes sense I'd be confused.
About Jack and Sam... I sort of like the sexual tension. I think if I were Sam, I'd certainly develop feelings for him. Of course, I would have done so back in Solitudes when we were snuggling together to stay warm, but if it took her 4 or 5 years, so be it *G* But that's the extent of it. I don't like it being a heavy part of the plot (like the Sam episode a few weeks ago on the ship, name of which I don't remember, sorry) and I was so excited when she had a love interest after that who wasn't Jack. But I don't mind them having feelings for each other, because I think I would in her place. I just don't ever want to see it go farther (like to the extent of the Mulder/Scully X-Files bit where the point of the show was lost because fans just wanted to see them have sex).
But I completely agree with you about Teal'c. And of them all, I expected him to have the perfect words. He's not outwardly emotional, but he always seems to know the right thing to say. She's saved him so many times and helped create a way for him and his entire race to be free of their Symbiotes(sp??)... and he has such strong ideas of honor and duty and love of SG-1 like a family... yeah... that blew me away... especially since he knew that's exactly what Sam needed as well. *sigh*
Re: Daniel H/C fics
Date: 2004-02-20 07:16 pm (UTC)I'm not a huge Sci-Fi fan, mostly because it's difficult to relate to, even if I am in the field of technology. What I like are shows like Stargate and Star Trek who take the genre to a more personal level. They apply concepts relevant to current culture and ideals that are universal and apply it to situations that are fantastical. But more important to me are the characters who I can identify with or see their world through. And what's really interesting to me is when the shows bring it down to the current reality, taking the fandom with them- the way they did in tonight's Stargate episode (which I'm still crying over). Ug, I'm not describing right. It's like going one way, taking the current set of issues in the world and applying it to this other reality, then taking issues specific to that reality back to this one. I found a lot of that in the aforementioned fic(where concepts like Daniel's marriage came into play because of his possible inability to have children now). When it's done well it's very moving. When it's not, it's very, very painful (in an embarrasing, sickening sort of way, not an emotional sort of painful)
As for fantasy- in general it's a lot easier for me to feel those characters are real. It's easier for me to see the depth in fictional characters who are an integrated part of a fantasy world that stands on its own, rather than fictional characters who are somehow linked to my reality but in an advanced or futuristic world. It doesn't make a lot of logical sense- well, no logical sense, actually. But the former is easier to me, I think, because I can see it all as a whole. Everything works together and builds on each other to create this separate thing that lives and breathes, and even though it has elements that I can relate to (like wars and love and friendship) it goes so much deeper than that and is alive to me. That's definitely LotR for me. Whereas the Sci-Fi shows like ST and SG-1 are done in a way were you *must* understand current reality- you have to know about the human mind and society, you have to know about this world in order to apply the concepts and get the themes. And that means things don't seem as deep to me when I watch them. It's another world, another reality, sure. But it's got a base that doesn't have to be explored as much. Whereas fantasy characters must be, even when they're men, because they come from a different culture and history. Now the weird thing is, I love books/movies like HP where characters from my reality go to fantasy worlds... but there are really only a select few that work well for me in the long run.
OKAY, so, point is, I understand a bit of how the emotional ties are a lot different towards characters in different sorts of things. And there are lots of reasons for this, of course, not just the one I mentioned above. But it's still interesting for me to look at *G* So thanks :-)
Re: Daniel H/C fics
Date: 2004-02-20 08:32 pm (UTC)Also, interestingly enough, I don't like to read about SG-1's personal lives at home all that much...I prefer stories of teamwork, of them working and doing their jobs together, and of course, lovely recovery stories after injuries off-world, etc. But for some reason, I couldn't care less what Daniel makes for dinner, where Sam does her shopping, etc. I have a hard time picturing them getting together for barbecues, picnics, etc. I love stories of intense friendship between Jack and Daniel, but I don't particularly care to see the domestic adventures of the slash couple...
On the other hand, I absolutely adore such innocent happy stories in the LotR fandom, but I think that's just a reflex response to the overwhelming darkness of what the Fellowship went through, with no fun breaks (like time loops, juggling, and practical jokes) on the way to Mordor ;) Anyway, it's interesting the things I keep noticing about my fanfic preferences, but never thought to put words to before. Thanks for listening to me as I work through these things in my mind!
Re: Daniel H/C fics
Date: 2004-02-20 08:48 pm (UTC)The Daniel thing was part of that particular fic. Sorry for the confusion. As a result of the cancer and operation and resulting treatment, he'd not be able to "sire offspring" as Teal'c put it. So there was a whole internal debate going on relating to his wife and her baby and his future, etc. I was just using that as an example of relating their world to his particular "real world" ailment
Interesting about your LotR preferences... I can totally understand that. Though the lighter moments of the two fandoms are so very different. While the SG-1 characters can be funny... the humor in LotR is a very concentrated type, especially when it comes to Merry and Pippin or anyone being out of their element in a non-life-threatening situation. But it's very interesting that you have such different preferences from one fandom to the next. :-) And no worries, feel free to work things out as you type.. I always do. Heck, I've discovered more about my fanfic preferences in the last week than in the whole of my life, I think, in just writing to other people.
Question for you- do you shy away from innocent happy stories in SG-1 in general, even if they do happen to take place off world or in the context of the team dynamics and all? Or episodes that focus on that, for that matter (like Window of Opportunity)? What about episodes like Sam's dating episode a couple weeks back? It, too, was in context... but pretty close to the "buying groceries" sort of thing.
Fic preferences
Date: 2004-02-20 09:01 pm (UTC)The point is, that's the kind of stories I prefer, in any fandom. In both fandoms, I like it best when they remain unattached (except Aragorn and Arwen), though I won't say no to well-written slash, especially when it's sweet and comforting is involved. I love to see friendships and characters explored, bonds strengthened, hardships and darkness overcomed, as well as joyful and lighter moments celebrated and cherished. I just seem to be able to get what I want easier from LotR fic these days. I don't doubt the balance will even out more after more time has passed and the last LotR DVD has been released and the intense fandom activity settles down a bit.
Re: Fic preferences
Date: 2004-02-20 09:07 pm (UTC)In terms of humor fic, yeah, I've read some really hilarious SG-1 fics and fully enjoyed them. I just tend not to go actively seeking them, that's all.
Re: Fic preferences
Date: 2004-02-20 09:29 pm (UTC)As for TPTB getting in the way ship-wise, oh absolutely (especially from what I hear about RDA's warriness of Jack/Daniel and thus deemphasizing that in the series) I've seen a number of my shows ruined because TPTB decide they need more and the big way they can get it is to pair off the characters. I most admire shows that are able to stay consistent throughout as far as romances go, because usually if I fall in love with a show for a reason, I stay in love with it. But ratings slip and people resort to cheep measures like that. It happens in the best of shows. *sigh* As for X-Files, sadly I cannot say as I stopped watching once they broke the format of the one-case-per-episode format. I missed a few episodes with the ongoing alien story arc and never recovered. It's sad, as I'm sure I would have enjoyed it later on (especially as I adore Nicholas Lea) but I remember the hype with Mulder and Scully and since I was a fan of the older format of the show, I just felt it was much more a ratings ploy than the show having some wonderful reason for it. (Though I realize there were reasons, especially considering all they'd gone through and the pregnancy and abductions, etc... it just seemed more like an attempt to save a show that should have been able to stand without it)
But, I don't have my own tv show, so I really shouldn't be so hard on TPTB. I'm sure I'd make unpopular (or just downright stupid) decisions from time to time if I had one. :-)
Re: Fic preferences
Date: 2004-02-20 09:37 pm (UTC)I don't deny X-Files was on it's last legs by the time they came up with the whole pregnancy/Mulder's disappearance arc. Once they brougth in Doggett, I became only a sporadic watcher at best. When it became the Doggett/Rayes show with Scully on the side and an occasional dash of Mulder, I gave up. I tuned in to the last ep, suffered through the near-incomprehensible wrap-up to the myth-arc, and then smiled when they ended up together, and then moved on to greener fandom pastures. I bought the romance though, because they had developed their trust, mutual dependence, and yes, love, so gradually that I totally bought it. I was glad they waited to the end to formally acknowledge it for good though...but they might have done it after the movie and avoided a lot of trouble and mediocre seasons. :)
Re: Fic preferences
Date: 2004-02-20 09:17 pm (UTC)As for LotR... a lot of people (not you, but just a general observation I made) jump on fandom bandwagons when they're popular and then move on to the next obsession. Obviously without a constant stream of new fics and art pouring in it will probably even out for you fandom-wise, but I have a hard time believing that you won't feel the same strong emotions when rewatching the LotR movies many years from now and feel fulfilled by fics that relate to them on the levels you prefer. I feel sorry for people who leave fandoms behind when they're not the most popular any more... I wish they wouldn't, I need more fics LOL

And I absolutely LOVE Mushi's artwork! I'd lost track of her site ages ago...thank you so much for hooking me back up! Her Sirius and Remus just make me melt!
no subject
Date: 2004-02-20 07:23 pm (UTC)Okay then, on to next topic, heehee! I adore her Sirius and Remus- especially the more intimate ones, and the ones where they seem so carefree. They so rarely are in the books, that it's nice to have images that I can look at and know that there are brief moments when they *are* happy. In the shower or taking tea in the morning together and kissing or being with Peter and Lily and James back in school *sigh*
As for 711- well, for stick figures, they're not too bad. I enjoy good Sirius/Remus humor whenever I can get it. I read a fic a few years ago that was based on a challenge that had to integrate insanely stupid things like a 7-11 store and slurpies and things. And the author ended up writing a fic where Sirius and Remus were in Vault 711 at Gringotts and having sex. Methinks the two are linked but I don't know if the artist was the author or what. ANYWAY, the author's other artwork is very nice as well-and lots of anime I've never seen :-) But glad you got a kick out of those for now! I never thought stick figures could be that amusing aside from the stick figure death sites(which still kind of weird me out)

Yeah... I am usually very skeptical when people send me to stories on ff.net. There are many good ones there, I'm sure. But you'll never, ever see me posting anything there. There's just too much of a bad vibe coming from the place nowadays. It exploded with horrible fics... and then kicked off the really good erotic ones. Nope.
