This is written in a slightly different style than I normally use so….go easy on me. It’s very close to the movie in places, very different in others.

In Moments Unsheltered

Okay so if you haven't read this fic At the hour when we are trembling by frostfire - you are seriously missing something brilliant.

It's SGA/SG-1, it's an apocofic, it's long and it's NC-17 - but it's just sooooo good.

It has some funny moments and some really gut-wrenching moments - it also manages to keep both Daniel and John in character the whole way through - and it has definitely sold me on this pairing. It was one that before I was a bit cautious of (it so often just doesn't work), but this well written it is so clear and acceptable. (so much so that I'm kinda hoping there'll be more..*blushes*)

Really worth reading when you get time :D

It;s official - SGA? no longer on the must see list
( behind this lies meta/rant click at your own peril oh and there be spoilers )

OK - so this has been a little while coming - but I just felt the sudden need to post this now.

For all those Fan fiction writers (and you know, TPTB if they're around) who have been wondering - no, the RAF is not the same as the USAF. They don't even have the same ranks.

I had to say this, because, I have seen fics with RAF officers that somehow, mysteriously, have ranks that don't exist......and notice I say officers - there is some overlap - but there's so little that it's chance if said people manage to get it right - more so in fics where they have one accurate rank and six non. (I know that the RAF are rare - but I've seen it)

The worst thing? It's not even like it's HARD to check these things - all they need to do is go on wiki or do a google search.

I admit that I can't name or order the ranks off the top of my head - but then I was never expected to - plus I always thought of my da as an engineer while he was in the RAF, fact is he was a Technician (only officers are classed as engineers...despite the fact that most of the work on the aircraft is done by the Technicians).

Another thing - for anyone planning to write an RAF character - they all have slightly odd senses of humour - not to mention British.

Also - this is a minor thing - that I doubt/hope has never come up in fanon (I tend to wince and gag before I get too far in once I find the rank wrong...) - the planes are all different from the american ones.....I hope to God everyone knows this, but I have a dreadful feeling there are people who don't....

Basically - in my opinion - as with a lot of things - people should research this stuff before they start/write the damn fic. They shouldn't get lazy/think that the rules are the same everywhere - cos they ain't. Hell, the regulations aren't even the same!!

Okay - so - having got that out of my system - should anyone be considering writing such a character - I would be very happy to help out - if I get stuck I can always throw questions at my Da (who has some very funny and very interesting stories - and also had a bad habit of insulting officers wives *head desk*), my best friend, my housemate (an officer's son - air traffic controller) or hell, the brother (who is presently in the stages of getting into the force himself - ground crew). So yeah - I have contacts.

Ok - so behind the cut lies my thoughts and feelings about the end of SGA season 3 and the last episodes of SG-1

( S10 and S3 spoilers )

A few of the fics I've found recently that really should be read:

The shadow over Chatsworth by Martha - on Wraithbait - It's a SGA/SG-1 cross and it's Gen, so no pairings to really be spoken of - set during S3 and s10 respectively - Rodney and Daniel together....and beautifully written - what more needs to be said?? I'd say more - but it would spoil the fic - just go read and enjoy.

X by Trinityofone - which can be found here: http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/415236.html - It's SGA with a tiny bit of SG-1 - Set in an AU and is a completely different type of crossover - if you love X-men? hell even if you don't - this should be read - it's brilliant. Also - you may need to read it twice to pick up on everything.

The 'Small boy, big city' series by Catsmeow - which can be found at the Alpha Gate - It's a pre-series SG-1 series about Daniel when he was a kid - it's fantastically sweet and really deserves a look see.

And that's all for now - I just felt the need to share!

Well - due to the last few days of conversations myself and charlies_dragon have created a new AU, which also, due to its apparent length and possiblities, has its very own community sg_pegasus

It's an AU set in Atlantis, that breaks from canon just after 'The Game' , through 'The Ark' will remain pretty much the same there will be differences, Sunday, however, will be very different, and from then on, it will be a true AU. Also, it takes an AU approach to SG-1 season 10, from 'The Quest' onwards, but that story will be left open for now, as the main focus is on the SGA team.

Am Procrastinating. Can't really be bothered with the group assignment we have to do - and can't get into it because it doesn't make sense (the case studies do) but everything else that has been posted thus far makes no sense - and am not sure how relevant it is to the question *sighs* bugger.
am now considering posting the rather short prologue to the C/D fic i'm working on - but i think i'll wait till part one is finished - then do a duel post and move onto part two.
