Letters, E-mails, Radio Transcriptions, etc. - Written Communication

[shibela.livejournal.com]

What I'm looking for are stories that are either A) centered around letters, e-mails, radio transcriptions, Post-It-Notes, mission reports, writing on the wall or skin - basically, some form of communicating with others through the written word - or B) contain any of the aforementioned in totality or snippets.

And not just that, but those hidden gems that have not been listed/linked on seperis 's Dead Letter Variations Challenge, or sga_flashfic 's Mission Report or Documentation Challenges, or sgamadison 's Epistolary Challenge.

Pairings are unimportant, but please list pairings if applicable.


Some examples of 'hidden gems':

Postcards to Jeannie, and its sequel, Pictures for Jeannie by friendshipper (Graphic intensive, Gen)
Also by friendshipper : The Pegasus Galaxy Darwin Awards (Graphic intensive, Gen)

Board Wars by jadesfire2808 & greyias (Graphic intensive, Gen)

Lantis Journal by mklutz & ana_grrl - (The original site seems to no longer exist, so I've linked up through WayBack Machine, so the graphics, which really enhanced the story, are no longer available - Slash, many different pairings)

The Handbook by The Huntress (McShep slash, Jack/Daniel slash)

The Art of an Atlantis Mission Report by Jem (Gen)

E-Mail Tag by fiareynne (McShep slash)

Residual Heat by bluenight361 (McShep slash)

Atlantis Hunks by esteefee (McShep slash)

Leave It To Him by jennytork (Gen)

Less to Say by flatlanddan (McShep slash)

The Labeling Approach by deltacephei (McShep slash)

A Little Stardust Caught by ladycat777 (McShep slash)

Now and Then by the_cephalopod (McShep slash)

Letters to a John Doe (A Diary of Sorts) by mardahin (McShep slash - story is told from Original Character's POV) ***Edited to add: As the story is no longer at the original link I gave, it can also be found at Wraithbait as chapters 2-14 of the first story listed on the Ripples Universe series page; it can also be found as the first chapter of "Ripples in the Space" at Fanfiction.net.***

** Check One by fledmusic (was rain_dances) (McShep slash)

** Letters to Jack by Shade (daughtershade) (Gen)

** Public Timeline by sabinelagrande & arymabeth (McShep slash & other pairings)


...and the story that sparked this request: Promise by velocitygrass (McShep slash)

Thanks in advance!

ETA #2: Added updated links for a story.

Rodney McKay's Scrapbook of Death (death threats)

Rodney McKay Is a Very Bad Manager (performance reviews, e-mail; most of the story is in a downloadable .doc)

ETA I haven't read these in a while. My brain wants to say gen, but the first might be McShep slash...?

(Also, have you looked at artword? They ahd a typography challenge that might have some....)

The Towers On The Heights Reach To Heav'n's Own Blue by minervacat (Gen, but the sequel is Sheppard/Mitchell)

[sunnyd-lite.livejournal.com]

If you don't mind self-rec's I wrote Family Vacations (http://sunnyd-lite.livejournal.com/105293.html#cutid1) a series of emails between Jeannie and Rodney. Gen.

[altyronsmaker.livejournal.com]

I did this a few months ago and slotted all the 'email' fic into my memories. Here: SGA Email fics (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=altyronsmaker&keyword=SGA+Emails&filter=all).

[busaikko]

Oh, and I wrote A Hundred Happy Things, which has some e-mails between Rodney and Jeannie (but percentage-wise, maybe only 5% of the whole story....)

[em_kellesvig]

The Labeling Approach by deltacephei. Courting with Post-it Notes. No graphics but good fun. McKay/Sheppard.

[shibela.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Lots of thank you's!

I had forgotten about the Scrapbook of Death(threats).... It was a fun re-visit.

As for artword? I hadn't even thought of that one, thanks for the suggestion!


*off to read 'A Hundred Happy Things'*

[shibela.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Loved this one (and its sequel, too)! The e-mails were priceless. LOL!




To bethynyc: The sequel is "Steal The Thunder From The Sky" (http://minervacat.livejournal.com/982529.html).

[shibela.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Self-rec's are great -- and this was definitely a fun read if only for the Subject headers on the e-mails. LOL!

[shibela.livejournal.com]

Thank you! The coffee Post-it was perhaps the best one; although, there's some stiff competition with the Post-it on the P-90.





*backs cautiously away trying to look all innocent*

[eccentricweft.livejournal.com]

Under the Skin (http://01100100.fanfib.org/fanfiction/sga/skin.html) by Danvers, brilliant fic. McShep. There's a prequel linked at the bottom of the page (the prequel doesn't fit your request but the main story does.)

[skieswideopen]

Oops, sorry! I thought the sequel was linked from the story. I see someone else beat me to providing the link, though.

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

Did you have Rodney's Last Message (http://www.trickster.org/speranza/cesper/Lastmessage.html) by speranza (McShep) yet?

I can't thank you all enough for the suggestions that have been made... I'm still happily reading them.


Anyhow, I thought I'd add 2 more for the list here---
