Hello friend! A friend of mine is doing a Stargate SG-1 rewatch and lamenting the slim pickings of fic on AO3. Do you know where she can find fic that perhaps is still on some old archive of yore? Or have any recs? She's mostly interested in Jack/Daniel and Jack/Sam. Ty!!
oh my. with all the love in the world to your friend visiting us from a very different fandom tax bracket than i have ever had the fortune to participate in (those two pairings have well over 6k fics each on ao3), i'll see what i can do!
[several hours of looking around later] bad news!! not much!
most of vintage sg-1 fandom was wiped out by expired domains, struck-through livejournals, ff.net's porn ban, yahoo lists, etc. some pages are still preserved in the wayback machine for heliopolis, the massive het-and-gen archive, and area52, the slash counterpart, but with the search and directory functions pretty much toast, they're almost impossible to navigate.
fanlore has an old list of archives (including plenty of jack/daniel ones). some smaller archives might yield wayback paydirt, especially if they were hand-coded. samandjack.net is still alive!
and, hate to say it, this was peak era for ff.net and they have like 30k fics over there... but all the explicit fic is gone.
i recently learned some people are still doing het-reccers (user-submitted fanfic recommendations, LJ archive is here). i don't know if any slash equivalents are still around (and i haven't looked at this site for genuinely fifteen years, so i can't speak to the quality of recs).
some sam/jack recs of mine; some of these authors multi-ship:
nanda: her resolution series especially should not be missed and i can't stress that enough. smut and action. fics great fics across the board.
it's kind of difficult to express how popular Salr323's fics were (under a different name) back in the day. i'm told that archive servers would crash when she posted something new. low on smut, high on PINING. rec: it was admittedly 1 am but as i recall this one made me feel like i'd just seen the fanfiction mona lisa
there are quite a few multifandom wonders who cut their teeth in this fandom, including missparker (rec: a small crime)
this cassandra fraiser fic dealt me some damage: nobody dies tonight by isawet
someone who's still in touch with her please harass splash_the_cat for writing 99 sg-1 fics and then walking away without cracking 100. lots of fun little snacks in there including this one
everything anr touches is gold <3
starting to get stressed out about who i'm missing!!!!
if your friend likes D/s this one is fun by tremontaine
lol read my stuff (i never wrote smut for sg-1 though)
hey everyone, please add recs in the notes/reblogs, especially jack/daniel recs because that's out of my wheelhouse but we aim to serve

19! 32! 49!!!
19. are there any shows on your “to watch” list right now?
I am sort of committed to a rewatch of (at least some of) The Legend of the Seeker, and I’m considering a rewatch of The Good Place. Disco is coming back soon, so thank god for new content. When will the universe bring me the Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan Enjoy Earning Many Dollars Together show. When. 
32. what’s one show you could watch over and over?
Episodes of Game of Thrones (Hardhome, Book of the Stranger, The Winds of Winter). Daenerys makes me so happy. Those three episodes are true masterpieces. 
49. who are your favourite couples on TV?
I’ve been thinking of sam/jack recently on sgwun which is… a throwback. In the same vein, oldskool MSR. But to answer the question differently: I apparently like a slow burn pair that will never be canon and the showrunner always tells me THEY WILL NEVER BE TOGETHER and decades later are like “shrug, they were always otp.” So, come on, Jessica Queller. I can’t wait for the 2029 news article about how Kara and Lena were always meant 2 b. Kids these days with their WHEN WILL MY SHIP BE CANON. Girl, the best ships never are canon.

wow sg-1 so long ago
I found this by accident and it’s Still True:
Dear People What Make Sgwun, Hello. How you doin'? Let's cut right to the important bit which is that we, The Shippers (a vast majority of your viewers who spend like omg ALL of our money on the merchandising that you probably have etc) are ANGRY. Why are we angry? We are angry because YOU CHEATED US. You promised us Jack/Thor ship way back in like S3 and yet have REPEATEDLY FAILED TO DELIVER. You OWE us, bitches. We know that all that shite where Jack flirted and/or made sex with Kynthia, Laira, Kerry, Daniel, Sam, Teal'c, Maybourne all the rest was a MISDIRECT to maintain the true subtextual perfection that is Jack/Thor. We know that Thor's interest in Jack is sexual. We are the TRUE FANS who UNDERSTAND your artistic goal. We know that you must get a lot of letters from stupid people who ship crap like Jack/Sam or Jack/Daniel, but we also know that you hate those people. Let's face it, Jack could have had either of them in 'Lost City' but he didn't because he was saving himself for Thor. Also either of those ships would utterly degrade everyone involved, because they are all too honourable to have emotions. The fact that Jack has overcome that honour to flirt so openly with Thor, that he admits he loves Thor more than he's supposed to, and so on, these are the things that matter. We, your loyal viewers, have conducted any number of arguments on the internets to defend the ship YOU placed on our screens. Face it, your show has jumped the shark anyway, so you should give us the TEXTUAL VALIDATION that we DESERVE for watching your shite all these years in the hope of seeing Jack kiss Thor. Since Jack has left it's not even like you'd have any problems, since you could just say he went to live with Thor is perfect marital bliss. Thank you for your time and consideration, [insert name here] on behalf of THE WORLD

First “Crying out loud”, and of course it’s in relation to Daniel running off to make friends with strangers.

typecasting always makes me laugh. like i know ronny cox has done other stuff but i’m watching tng “chain of command” and thinking about the moment where someone in writing or casting for senator kinsey on stargate was like “hmm, we need a by the book authority figure who doesn’t listen and is kind of a dick — i know just the guy.” i don’t know why that’s so funny to me. apparently the rest of the time he’s a touring folk musician.

watching sg-1 “message in a bottle” when they seal off the mountain, like they do, and i’m wondering for the first time about the people working in NORAD who have no clearance to know about the stargate and just… have these things interrupting their work life with 0 explanation. i mean irl sealing off the cheyenne complex is partly why it’s there i guess, but to keep things from getting IN not OUT. is it just like “it’s a drill!” but all week? also this time we’re going to inject you with something, you know, for preventive reasons. sometimes air force one is inbound??? just ignore the alien symbols on your computer and those alarms counting down until the mountain explodes. free bagels in the cafeteria.

rewatched the beginning of sgwun in honor of the 25th and it's so funny to me how general hammond is kind of a dick for 1.5 episodes exactly, and then is like actually. i can't maintain this fiction. if you are in my field of view and don't work for the pentagon you are a member of my family. i will raise you and cherish you and occasionally shake my head at you in benign disappointment for your antics. your presence is both requested and required at the barbecue this saturday, do not be late. and they're all like …??? for exactly three hours before volunteering to bring the potato salad

in some sci fi shows there’s one actor, usually playing an alien, who just so completely inhabits that role that i don’t believe they’re a human in costume. like everyone else around them is acting, possibly very well! but there’s that one guy who’s actually an alien they found and invited onto the set. on stargate it’s bra’tac. on voyager it’s tuvok.

just learned ur scrooge mcduck post is about Sam/Jack and uhhhhhh… do you have fic recs
SURE DO!! there are infinite sam/jack fics to rec, so instead of attempting any kind of curated Top 5 list i'm just gonna shake my brain up like a soda can and see what sprays out first:
the furies wept by nanda (T, 30k) - i read this like nine times in a week. it's the third fic in a great series (first two are e for expliciiiit). each fic has a very different tone. this one is "okay, so what if after All That dysfunction they're Dating but also still Themselves, and then they have to go on the worst space road trip with jacob carter." a+++ can't recommend enough. i'm honestly incapable of being normal about @nandamai's fic.
a far better fate by newcrayons (WIP, M, currently 85k) - so i Do Not read WIPs and rarely read fics this long, but this came recommended! super fun series-long episode-related fic with illicit makeouts and feelings. this fic holds the honor of being literally the only ao3 subscription i have. i cracked open a new feature for this. i want to be friends with this author but i'm being really cool about it.
a small crime by @missparker (E, 5k) - feels good, feels organic. extra credit for jonas quinn.
the more things change by northernexposure (G, 6k) - this author likes to soak you in feelings and wring you out like a sponge. canon-compliant "point of view" episode chaser. extra credit for janet fraiser.
a star to steer her by by tremontaine (E, 24k) - all right this is a little ~spicier~ because it's got a d/s element that pops up midway through, but if you are neutral-to-positive on that then i recommend! something about this fic felt new, like i was viewing the same characters from two degrees to the left. i liked so so much about it.
bonus self-rec: home economics by mylittleredgirl (T, 5k) - the toaster fic.
enjoy!!! feel free to come back and shake the can again later!

the most intriguing part of the bodyswap episode “holiday” is that we learn that michael shanks can pronounce goa’uld and made a conscious character choice not to.
all i can figure is that daniel jackson, skilled linguist, was sitting there fuming about his wife’s kidnapping and feeling like he should spit or something every time he says the name of his enemy (but that’s obviously going to be frowned upon in the sgc) and he gets internally worked up about it until around 3 am he’s like you know what? fuck you. *americanizes your pronunciation*
