Why this must be read:
Every fandom has some fic which is written about 'what would happen if Buffy/Angel/Blair/Frodo/Paris etc found fanfiction about themselves/started writing fanfiction'. Not every fandom has the added bonus of the writers inserting a tv show based on the fandom into the fandom, however.
Um.
To simplify; the writers of SG-1 wrote an episode concerning a tv show which was based on events at Cheyenne Mountain. This tv show - with the tough ex-special forces colonel, the geeky but cute-beyond-the-telling-of-it archaeology expert, the beautiful female scientist and the enigmatic alien - was called X-treme Wormhole. Sound familiar? Well, Sam Carter discovers (while innocently surfing the net for information on wormholes) slash fanfiction about Colonel Danning and Dr. Levant (based on Jack and Daniel respectively).
And then things really start to get fun.
This is a stroke of pure genius. From Jack's panicked response to the cheerful lampooning
of well-known fic in the fandom (Anais's Doctor Jackson's Diary is one of those mentioned) to Teal'c superbly 'I-may-technically-be-human-but-am-so-glad-not-to-as-neurotic-as-you-lot' attitude, to the unutterably evil combination of Sam and Janet (and any fic which can concentrate on Jack and Daniel but without bashing Sam and/or Janet deserves some kind of award in my book) this will simultaneously make you giggle, eradicate a bad mood and make you wish you'd thought of writing it yourself (or, if SG-1 isn't your fandom, make you wish that your favourite fandom had used the same idea).
I think one of my favourite things about this fic was the fact that nothing Jack and Daniel did wasn't anything which hadn't appeared in canon but was getting a completely new interpretation by everyone around them based on the fanfiction. The thought of X-treme Wormhole fic being passed around the SGC is also a hoot.
Teal'c sat by the door and watched Jack as he reached the final page. Jack's eyes reached the last word and then he put the page down. He got up from the desk as though the pages were armed and dangerous and just stared at them.
"O'Neill? How are you?"
"Confused. Bewildered. Pissed off. But mostly confused I'd have to say."
"What are you thinking O'Neill?"
"To be honest Teal'c, I'm having a real hard time thinking at all."
"Indeed."
"What do you think?"
Teal'c pondered the question for a moment, "I feel the author has a natural gift for humor. She also displays a soft and tender side through her writing. The dialogue is quite believable but I do not believe a man would address another man as...sweetie pie. I believe no sane human would address their mate with such a name. The story also seems to become lost amongst the numerous sessions of coupling." "Anh! Never. Never use that word in my presence again Teal'c."
"Which one O'Neill, I do believe I used many."
"The couple. The couple and the ing. Never. Okay?"
"O'Neill, do you not feel that perhaps you are overreacting?"
"Overreacting? You have any idea what this person just made me do?" Jack pointed accusingly at the pages.
"Several times O'Neill," Teal'c said flatly.
"Number one, no one can manage it that many times. Number two, no one can manage it in those positions. Oh and number three...I...AM...NOT...GAY!!!"
"O'Neill, this story is not about you."
"Teal'c this story is about people who are based on us. If all the women on base can see that, well... need I say more."
Jack fell on to the bed, shaking his head. The door opened and Jack jumped off the bed as though he'd been electrocuted. Teal'c couldn't help but smile at this, receiving a deathly look from Jack.
"Hey, what's going on?" Daniel said.
"Nothing! Nothing's going on. What? Two guys can't spend any time together without something going on?" Jack suddenly ranted at the speed of light.
"Uh..." Daniel looked at Teal'c.
Jack realized his outburst and then sat down on the bed.
"O-kay...what's going on?" Daniel said again.
Jack picked up the pages and handed them to Daniel, "Well, apparently, me and you are fucking like bunnies."
Daniel took the pages and frowned, "Okay. That's a little...surreal...even for you."
"Know why all the women keep looking at us like we're from Mars or something? Someone in Internet land has written this nice amusing little tale of manly love."
Daniel frowned, "Didn't Aristotle write something about that?"
"Daniel?"
"What?"
"X-Treme Wormhole."
"Yeah?"
"Someone has written a nice little story about two of the characters from X-treme Wormhole."
Daniel laughed, "You're kidding. Right? Oh my god. Who is it? I have to read this," Daniel said smiling as he sat down on the bed and started reading the first page.
"Teal'c. I'm outta here. I can't stick around to watch this."
"Jack, I think you're overreacting. People write tons of fanfiction on the net. It's a form of flattery. And besides, since the Stargate project will never go public, it might be nice to see what people think about the whole concept."
Jack smiled, "Right. Sure."
"And anyway, I can't see what could be so bad. But then I guess I am more liberal than you Jack."
"Right. Liberal. Teal'c, call me when he's finished. I'm going to go rifle through some old copies of Playboy."
