Title: The Care and Feeding of Geeks by J. O'Neill (Documents Challenge)
Summary: A pictorial look at the pamphlets General O'Neill gave John before he left for Atlantis
Set sometime during Season One, McShep



“One more thing, Major.” General O’Neill shoved a small crate into John’s hands. “This box contains important documents that should be distributed to ‘Gate team leaders about six weeks into their tour.”

John looked inside the box. There were a few pamphlets in it, and nothing else. “Sir?”

“So it’s not War and Peace, but trust me, you’ll appreciate it later.” O’Neill was smiling and John couldn’t help but worry a little. Why six weeks in?

“Look, the scientist are building secret compartments into crates and using coffee pods instead of packing peanuts. The guys in charge of supply are taking bribes. No one else is only really bringing one item.”

“You want me to fill the crate, Sir?”

“Bring a book, Major. Something long. Daniel went a little stir crazy that year on Abydos with nothing to read.”

John peered into the mostly empty crate. Something long… Actually, bringing War and Peace wasn’t a bad idea.

coffee pods instead of packing peanuts

Oooh, good idea. The whole pamphlet thing is a good idea, but the coffee is especially genius.

I really, really liked this. Very original- you should do more, if you have the inspiration!

This was very well done, amusing, very much in character, and the last one made me go 'awwwwww' -- Excellent job!

This is so fantastic, and I can just see Jack speaking from his own experience.
My favorite one? Your Geek is not a soldier. Yet. Enjoy this while you can
This rings so true to SG fanfiction where everyone has to be more than they ever expected to be, and the change in ways you sometimes wished they didn't have to.

Very funny! I'm beginning to love this documentation challenge because so far, I've enjoyed every story and every pairing posted!

It's so Jack and John... :D

Great one and thanks for sharing.

That last one makes me whimper.

Each one of these deserves a fic unto itself. I just see John's face while he's making the notations...*smashes plot bunnies*

Love it.

That was great! I was grinning at the comments until the last one, which just kind of melted me. Oh, John. Really neat idea.

Very clever! I loved the three with the secondary comments. And the last one; ouch.

They're wonderful. But I will firmly deny that the last two had anything to do with the fact that I'm all sniffly. It's allergies, I tell you! *is defiant*

Loved this! It was a total smile, yet sweetly poignent at the end.

Excellent!

This was wonderful. Most of the pages (and John's irreverent comments) made me laugh, but the last two were really poignant.

Rodney will just have to teach John better about the last one. Okay, at least he will in my mind. I was a little down from that last one, so I went back to the Alien sex part, and now I'm happy again.

I loved John's arguing with the pamphlets. But that last one was just so sad!

This was gorgeous. The little handwritten comments are genius (and that last one broke me, just a little).

That's perfect. It reminds me of the pamphlet I got when I bought a turtle. In fact, it reminds me of that alot. Oddly enough, I'm not at all surprised by this analogy.
Great graphics- I really like this idea, and would absolutely love to see more of these (the documentation challenge ROCKS).

So cool! I love the notes - and the notes on the notes. John's learning. Also, I love how John automatically classes Rodney as his geek. *G*
