Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Bed cracks me up, because for the length of the vid I totally buy that the three of them have the most uncomfortable triangle ever. And then Jack says "screw this, I'm gonna go have sex with Teal'c." Which, you know, I gotta say, so long as you avoid any potential vengeance issues he's way more low-maintenance than the other two.

I know! It's pretty slick.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't think the writers gave him the last name of Jackson for no reason, you know?

I'd never thought of that. I'm of two minds of the assignment of motive, but it's interesting to consider.

Said guy was one of the test audiences for the movie, and in the original cut Ra lives and the stargate is destroyed. They said "Wouldn't it be cooler if the stargate survives and Ra dies? What about others of Ra's species?"

Off to watch vids.

Huh. I'd never seen Bed before--or if I did, I forgot. That was fun.

Huh. Yeah, except the last scene is actually Jack and Sam leaving Daniel behind, which... kind of negates the whole point of the vid, I think. Unless I'm reading it wrong. ::tilts head in confusion::

Well, okay, yes. How about this: Jack's going off home with Sam but Sam totally knows that Jack will be sneaking out later to meet Daniel. Yeah, that's the ticket.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

One of the things I love about vids like that is that it highlights how charged Jack and Daniel's interaction is, without necessarily being overtly sexual. It makes for happy fangirls.

Oh, okay, that works.

I'm such a literalist -- if I ever made a vid, it would be one of the ones that shows Rygel barfing when the lyric says "I'm sick with love," or some such thing. Oy.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

...and, after hours of downloading time, I saw Bed. And, yes, bless, it IS just adorably convincing - I especially like the dirty look Sam shoots Daniel at the end.
