Season 4
Mars link of the day: Blue sky over Spirit (thanks to mike)
Jerie warned me that season 4 was good, but she didn’t say how good. Although I agree that “Window of Opportunity” is probably the best episode ever, my personal favorite is “Beneath the Surface.” I’m a sucker for post-apocalyptic Rasta-tech beefcake episodes, and shippy memory loss is just a big fat bonus.
The muse is having a Stargate attack, which isn’t good. She’s supposed to be revising Colony or writing something saleable; it would be one thing if she were in time for the samandjack fanfiction awards, but she’s not. Now she (technically, he) has a thing for ice planets.
And it’s been forever, but I read a fic: This Cannot Be Happening by…well, I have no idea who it’s by. Stargate writers tend to leave their names off their fic. But whoever that masked writer was, her story placed in some awards that I was skimming for AU fic. It was an enjoyable read despite the idiot plot element that became clear partway through the story - one of those if you’d only told me X, none of this angst would be happening now. But if you ignore the angst, there’s a nice quantum mirror and Sam/Jack friendship story there.

“This Cannot Be Happening” is one of Jojo’s stories, if that’s any help.

Thanks, but the mystery continues: why do people leave their names off their own fic?

Many people in Stargate Land seem to post to one mailing list or another, and all the lists I know have (strict) rules about the header (title, author, email, yadda, yadda, yadda). Maybe they figure they don’t need to include this information on their own websites because everyone who visits them should already know whose site it is?
Though I don’t understand that approach if it’s indeed the case.
