Frustrated

[amalthia]

I'm trying to find out how old the main characters are in Stargate. I can't find anything to indicate how old O'Neill and Carter are. With Daniel they come outright and say what year he was born in, and I think in one episode they mention that Teal'c is over 100.

Anyway, I've wasted way too much time trying to find the answer to this question so I think I'll just guess-estimate it.

BTW, Happpy New Years!

I believe Daniel said he was around four in 1969.

yeah Daniel was the easiest to find out how old he is, well for my fic I've already guessed with the rest, and figured if people can handle AUs then they can handle me fudging on the characters ages. :)

thanks for helping. :)

Just wandered here from your angst archive. Left a couple recs in your Dreambook. Also just read this one that's on theme: http://www.fan-archive.net/dlong/tao.htm

Re: Age

[amalthia]

I haven't found these stories you recommended, do you have the links???

for the most part I have to ask authors if I can post their stories, most times they say yes, but occasionally they say no. That's why I don't have all the stories I'd love to post in the Angst Archive. :( but I do get a sense of quality control since no one really submits their stories to me.

If you send me the links for these fics, I'll check them out and write to the authors if they fit the critera. :)

P.S.

[amalthia]

I'm working full time now and do not have time to search for stories the way I did when I was in college. :(

I'm not sure about Palinurus, but I think I have the others. Give me a minute...

sorry

[amalthia]

Hey I'm sorry if I ended up spamming you, I'm still trying to figure out livejournal. I've been using it for months but I still manage to screw up sometimes.

I thought of another Stargate story that I would regard as extreme angst.

Elizabeth Lea "Waking Nightmare"
http://www.area52hkh.net/ase/elea/nightmare.php

Better stop there since half of all slash qualifies as angst in the Stargate fandom...

Re: P.S.

[amalthia]

Naw, keep on sending the recs. :) I love these kind of stories, but sometimes they are hard to find, or at least find the well written ones.

Re: Age

[amalthia]

I just wrote a Stargate Fan fic that is rather angsty, would you like to read it? If so just email me at amalthia@slashcity.com

It's not done being betaed yet but when it is finished I planned on posting it on my website and maybe a few other archives. Anyway, i'd love to get another opinion about the story. Rather nervous about it actually.

Pough's Fission of Silence - one of the greatest Stargate angst stories ever, IMHO - http://www.geocities.com/sazz27/poughs_page.html

Castalie's Breaking Point: Silence - http://www.thealphagate.com/stories/BreakingPointSilence.asp

Guess silence is a theme...

And I can't believe Palinurus is still online! The story I was thinking of was "Retaliation".

[amalthia]

thanks so much for the links, I'll check them out as soon as I get back from work later tonight. :)

fic

[(Anonymous)]

The Pough story is very long, but the other two are manageable! Have fun. And I'm glad I found your site - I'd never read the story by Legion.

Re: fic

[amalthia]

hey I'm glad you found a new story. :) Stargate as a fandom does have some exceptional stories. :)

it's going to take me a day or two to read all the ones you recommended, but so far I've loved the one I had a chance to read. :) Waking Nightmare, i think that was the title. it was rather well done.

recs

[(Anonymous)]

Came back to see if you liked my recs, and a few more occured to me.
You might like some of Sazz's stuff (same site as Pough).

DawnC writes a lot of gen angst here: http://sg1angst.danawheels.net/
I really liked Suicidium and Reconstruction.

I liked this one by Yum@: http://www.stargatefan.com/fictionabc/chosen1.html

Good gen angst stories at The Tablet: http://www.omnifera.com/tablet/
I particularly liked Ellen Caldera's "Battlefields" and JB's "Hand in Hand"

There's another pretty good torture story that's just on the tip of my tongue. I'll come back if I think of it.

more really dreadful stuff

[(Anonymous)]

Found the other torture story! It's called Bargaining Chip:
http://helio2.sg1-heliopolis.com/archive/4/bargainingchip.html

Don't remember if it's good - just remember that a lot of torture was involved.

Yet another decent slave story: http://www.bunnyfic.com/Puffruffle/Slaves.htm

This isn't torture, but it hit my angst button:
http://web.archive.org/web/20030608074815/http://the-janissary.com/Fiction/TheHangedMan.html

Maayan's work is no longer available on the web. The Internet Archive was the only place I could find it.

Enjoy!
