Interesting article on translations
Here's another interesting article on translation and how not to do it. Why yes, Stargate, you've been guilty of this, haven't you? :) With our dear Daniel as primary culprit!
Realistic Translation for Fiction WritersOTOH, Stargate sometimes gets it very right, too. I loved Sha'uri teaching Daniel how to pronounce things properly in the movie. ( Read more... ) -

Recced this once upon a time; highly appropriate to rec it again today. :)
Storm Front, by tielan.
(The timing, BTW, is according to xkcd.) -
We interrupt this episode for a very important announcement
Ahem.
I never mention RL issues here, but...
EEEEEEE I BECAME A GRANDMA FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY
What an amazing, incredible blessing this is. My new granddaughter is beautiful. My daughter is a trooper. My son-in-law is utterly besotted. Quite frankly, so am I. :D
We now return you to your regularly scheduled SG-1 fannishness. -
All Those Who Desire It (PG)
Summary: Off-world universities, solar power, and a riddle of the ages… SG-1 have a mystery to solve.
Notes: Written for the stargate_summer Reverse Big Bang, and inspired by roeskva's stunning original artwork. Thank you, Roeskva, for such a gorgeous piece!
Takes place at the end of S2, after 1969. Lots of references to The Fifth Race and a certain episode of S1. I ( Read more... ) -
Further adventures at AO3
I just posted my 50th fic to AO3, starting from back in 2007 with my very first SG-1 story and going forwards, one fic a day (more or less) at a time. I'm only halfway through 2009 now. Good grief, I used to be prolific ( Read more... ) -
Stepping into the event horizon
Okay, so. Admittedly with a bit of reluctance, I have finally made the leap to AO3 ( Read more... ) -

A very interesting article on what it really means to work out a new language and how that translates into fic:
lLinguistics in Arrival
Mind you, our Daniel is even more of a polyglot than Louise :) but I thought there were some nice touches here.
So go write Daniel fic. That's always a plus. :D -
Nostalgic rec: Wavelength, by Nanda
Thanks to a miserable (but blessedly short-lived) virus, I spent some time rereading old fic on my Kindle. One of them was Nanda's Wavelength, a gloriously teamy goodness, early S1 story that had me grinning despite being huddled under the covers. I recced it way back in 2006, so it's worth mentioning again, don't you think? Wonderful Jack voice, ( Read more... ) -
PSA: The Tablet scheduled to close soon
If you're a fan of old skool SG-1 fic, you might want to check out The Tablet, as Jb has informed me that it won't be around much longer. Many of the authors hosted there have moved on to AO3, but there are also fics there that might not be available after the site goes down in a few months ( Read more... )
