Originally posted by Raelis View PostI'm in the mood for some doom and gloom, so I have this question: what are the very best apocafic stories in the Stargate fandom, in your opinion? Gen/any pairing will be fine.
The Petri Dish. PG-13. The last surviving members of SGC, as well as three Tok'ra, and a few Jaffa flee the advancing Ori forces. This is the story of their experiences. Takes place around SGA season 4, before the Ark of Truth. No pairings.
Deep Trouble. Goes AU from "In the Line of Duty". When Apophis returned with his ships to take his revenge on the Tau'ri, the only option was escape. Exiled on another planet with a minimum amount of supplies and allies, the plan is still to take back Earth. The only hitch? Their best chance at beating the Goa'uld is a Goa'uld, specifically a rebel named Jolinar who has taken Sam as a host. With Jolinar's allegiance uncertain, she must win over the trust of the Tau'ri and their leaders before she can return to the Tok'ra to forge an alliance that could change the galaxy. Minor Sam/Jolinar/Martouf/Lantash. Completed NC-17 version on ArchiveofourOwn (Author link: http://archiveofourown.org/users/roeskva/pseuds/roeskva), PG-13 version not yet completed on Fanfiction.net: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8370803/1/Deep_Trouble

Hm, but there are some listings of Apocafics that I saw somewhere, and I think Stargate Fic recs on Livejournal have some. Checking...

There's also the Apocalypse Kree ficathon that's run for three years and just opened for prompts for 2012. Some good fic, as I recall.

This is probably not the right place for it, but I don't know where else to put it...
Anyway, seeing all the Sam/Jack threads for different types of fics (good idea!), I thought maybe we should make threads for gen and other pairings? Are anyone interested?
I suggest these categories:
Team fics (or maybe the team fic thread already existing can be used here?)
Alien influence fics
apocafics
Fixit fics
Holiday fics
Family fics
kid/pregnancy fics
stranded off-world
wedding fics
AU fics (complete AUs)
AR fics (divergence fics)
Other categories?
Also, I was thinking the threads would be for gen fics, as well as for all pairings, except for Sam/Jack, since they already have their own threads (and probably way more fic than others anyway). Does anyone have problems with this? We could also make separate threads for various fairly popular pairings, like Sam/Daniel, Sam/Janet, Jack/Daniel, Vala/Daniel,... but I would suggest those not be split in categories.
What do people think?

I'm not sure about how popular Tok'ra fic are but I could definitely see Tok'ra versions of the suggested lists if there's enough interest for it. Right now all you have is a rec thread, right? We also had just that one for Sam and Jack but now we've got about a dozen lists for different categories. Difference between the rec thread and the lists is that the latter are more a collection, rather than a recommendation (meaning some might be horribly written, which one usually wouldn't recommend to others).
If there aren't as much Tok'ra fics you could always make one thread and using different posts for different pairings/categories. The same could be done if you just make the threads for the categories you've listed, but divide the entries under separate posts for team, gen, Sam/Daniel, Sam/Janet, Jack/Daniel, Vala/Daniel, Sam/Cam, Vala/Cam etc.
Just some suggestions. Good luck with it!Unmade Plans (WIP: 11/20):
Sam's life takes a turn in an unexpected direction when she's faced with an unplanned pregnancy. The decision to keep the baby and raise it on her own will alter her life forever. Relationships are put to the test, especially the one between her and Jack. She doesn't know what to expect from him and he surprises her at every turn.
On FFnet or AO3
My S/J fics can be found on FFnet and AO3. I also tweet and tumble about the ship and my writing/stories.

I'm very willing to help collect links for threads for gen and various pairings fics. I only read Tok'ra fic, so I would only be able to list links for those fics.
No idea on how to divide it up - I agree on the categories, and maybe you would want separate threads for some of the more popular pairings, but I have no idea which ones are most popular. I can see there are a fair amount of Daniel/Vala stories on fanfiction.net, so those might be good to get their own thread, at least for some categories? Same goes for Jack/Daniel.
Maybe Tok'ra stories could be separated out as well, but I don't know. I do know that there is about 400 fics on Symbiotica, and probably about the same number or maybe a few more, on fanfiction.net. Heliopolis and AO3 has some as well, as does Livejournal. There is overlap, of course, but I would estimate that there are maybe 800-1000 Tok'ra fics. Not all of those are good, but as fems said, these threads would be a list of some of those fics as well.
I would estimate that maybe 50% of the Tok'ra stories are mainly Sam/Martouf/Lantash, if not more.
Yes, we definitely need a sticky-post with links for all these threads - both the gen, Sam/Jack, and other ship ones. That would be great, and very useful.sigpic

I can certainly see those problems, Seaboe Muffinchucker. Such lists will only work if they are all collected in a main post that is made a sticky, and if there are many threads they take up space from all other threads (though that is presumably a temporary problem, since most fics will be added early, and then only a few from time to time, I guess?)
Anyway, if Skadi and I are the only ones interested in making lists for gen and other pairings fics, then maybe we should just do it over email. What do you say, Skadi? Then we could always post the results when we get them done, and then if anyone is interested they can add to them at that point. That also stop us from spamming the fanfic area with threads about fics that probably very very few are interested in.

When it comes to SG-1 I only read Sam-centric fic, but if anyone was interested in making lists for SGA, I'd happily help (I've read quite a lot of various pairings and gen in SGA).
Does SGU fic even exist?
ETA: Actually, I have read some good gen SG-1 fics (focused on Jack and Team, for the most part). I've also read some good Jack/Daniel, although I am not sure slash fic is allowed to be recced here. So maybe I could contribute a little to SG-1 lists as well.Last edited by Raelis; 25 October 2012, 11:22 AM.

I think I have seen a very few SGU fics, but not very many.
As for what can be recced - I think all fics can, but if they are R or NC-17, you can't link directly to the fic.

It's up! The master list, that is. So, if you're managing a list and want to make sure it's part of the master list, head on over and post it. Please remember, the master list is just that: links to where the lists actually live. None of the posts on the master list should link directly to fics. (If anyone has a list they want to add but they don't actually want to add it themselves, I'm happy to do so, just PM me your text and coding and I'll take care of it.)
The thread will be closed by a mod in the coming days. Conversational responses on that thread may be removed so the thread stays clean. As always, submissions for any category can be made at the individual lists (please don't make those submissions at the master list as they'll likely get missed and/or removed before the list managers can attend to them.
Big thanks to everyone who's been a part of getting this all together. It's been a big project but it's been worth it!
