Thanks to the combined non-awesome of livejournal crapping out last night and then the wireless beig a great big pooper as well, I'm a little behind on posting about my Amplificathon 2011 submissions....So, here: have two podfictastic recommendations at once!
AMP 2011: Day 6
Atlantis Wasn't Built In A Day, written by
eleveninches, takes SGA canon and goes AU from the season one episode The Storm. We can only assume that the Genii have perished along with the City (small silver lining?)....because our favorite intrepid intergalactic explorers have lost thier home city, and are now real explorers - complete with uninhabited planets, hunting with spears, and building wigwams. This is such a funny story, but also manages to deal a bit with the emotions elicited by being cut off completely from Earth in a meaningful manner, because
eleveninches is just that awesome. For all that the Expedition picked people who'd excell in their fields on a floating science miracle city, very few of them can hack it in the wilds of the Pegasus galaxy.... The intro/outro music is The Ballad of Davy Crockett (in Outer Space), performed by They Might Be Giants - because the Expedition is a) in Outer Space, and b) exploring the 'wild frontier'.

AMP 2011: Day 7
Make All The Rain Explode, written by
jade_starlight, is a crossover fic featuring mini!Jack and the goa'uld (of Stargate: SG1), and Sam and Dean (of Supernatural). There's Sam, getting possessed (again!)....there's mini!Jack, being a badass....there's Dean, being the best big brother he can be......there's a BRAND NEW WAY TO DE-SNAKE-IFY SOMEONE! This story takes place mid-season-two for SPN, and Sam's "gifts" are part of the reason he's targeted in the first place. Also, surprisingly, no Wincest! But, there's such a feeling of love and brotherly devotion between everyone's two fave Winchesters - Dean's trying so hard to keep his little brother on an even keel, even with everything the goa'uld dumped in Sam's head. And, the way the brothers react to mini!Jack is just awesome - you're left imagining all their future adventures, as Colonel Jack O'Neill's snark meets the Winchesters' sexy. Demons beware!
Download the mp3 here....and, possibly, drop
jade_starlight a line about that sequel she mentioned...
So, that's that. We're all caught up and back on track. Tomorrow's installment should be posted on it's correct date, and hopefully the schedule will be stuck to for the foreseeable future. Enjoy the podfics!
