Eeeeeeeee! I am completely hooked and you blithely announce 'end part one'? What are you, a sadist?

But seriously, it's great to see these: the previous little snippets whetted my appetite and it's really nice to see you have decided to go ahead and assemble a complete story... SG1/SGA crossovera are always fun and Vala always makes everything better. it's a gift!

:D

What are you, a sadist?

Ah, it works like this: writing is masochistic, posting is sadistic.

Gimme a couple weeks to stitch the rest of it together. I thought this was a relatively satisfying pause point.

[charlie_d_blue]

Oh, this is glorious. I can't wait for more.

[auburnnothenna]

Guess I'll have to buckle down and write the other five damn parts then, won't I? :)

[charlie_d_blue]

YES! Ahem ... as you will. :)

[auburnnothenna]

Thanks.

Her expression challenged anyone to contradict her. "I want a officer share and a crew share."

Oh, I love Janet so, so much.

I also love your broken characters and the way you've set this up. You're going to take us on a wild ride, aren't you? :D

[auburnnothenna]

You're going to take us on a wild ride, aren't you?

Like a rollercoaster on acid, baby.

I love Janet too and what are AUs for but to keep favorite characters alive? Y/Y? Also, Janet hipchecks that silly twist Keller right out of the show.

[lavvyan]

Is this the part where I tell you I get sick on rollercoasters? ;)

Janet hipchecks just about everyone right out of the show. She has presence, which is something neither Beckett nor Keller can claim.

Oh, very cool! I really like this. The worldbuilding is just fantastic, and I love how you've stitched together so many canon elements to create something very unique. (SPACE PIRATES FTW! \o/) Also loved how you developed the Prometheus Unbound plot under a very different set of circumstances.

One detail I particularly loved is the idea that the Tok'ra are not the perfectly benevolent allies that the show generally pays lip service to (while often showing something different). You've made the Goa'uld/Tok'ra very believable here, with a continuum of morality that is nonetheless distinctly alien. And the characters' lingering horror of all "snakes", from Goa'uld to Jaffa, makes perfect sense.

[auburnnothenna]

As I saw your name on the comment, my first thought was 'oh, crap, I forgot to warn for slash.' My apologies, but you know my proclivities, so I imagine it wasn't much of a surprise.

I do love the world building and the chance to write in some of the meta spec on the Goa'uld and Tok'ra, because while they aren't the big bad of the story, so much of what they did to the three main characters shapes them, as well as the SGC.

And the characters' lingering horror of all "snakes", from Goa'uld to Jaffa, makes perfect sense.

I ended up Netflixing the first disc of the first season of SG-1 because transcripts don't give enough background detail, and I'd forgotten until watching it that Kawalsky was taken by a prim'ta from a downed Jaffa. Knowing that influenced the way I wrote everyones horror of them and being unwilling to have Jaffa on the crew.

Oh, feh, I'm not going to get the vapors at a bit of slash. I had expected from all you'd said about the story beforehand that there would be various pairings in it; I was kind of glad that John/Rodney (or should I say Jehan/Mer) was one of them, actually, since I had no idea how you were going to have the various characters relate to each other in the AU, so I was pleased to have John all worried about him...

[auburnnothenna]

You don't strike me as the sort to have vapors, no. It's more a matter of courtesy. And only a couple of words I'd meant to include.
