The Three Laws of Arthur C. Clarke (and corollaries thereof) by Sophonisba (Amnesty 2006)

-title- The Three Laws of Arthur C. Clarke (and corollaries thereof)
-author- Sophonisba,

saphanibaal
-challenges- "This is not happening," First Contact
-warnings- General audiences. Mild scatological references. Third-person omniscient. Attempt to visually distinguish homographic heterophones. Takes place early in first season.
-characters- Ensemble; AR-1-centric
-disclaimer- The central plot device, not to mention many of the works referenced within, are of course the creation of the late great T. S. Geisel, long and justly famed as purveyor of the special crack. Also referenced are books by Eleanor Cameron and Armstrong Sperry. Two phrases of narration have been lifted from Maurice Sendak and (IIRC) Eric Flint, respectively. The corollaries to Clarke's Laws have been attributed to different people at different times, so I'm not sure whom to credit for those.
-spoilers- ..."Rising"?
-word count- 7829
-summary- They never did figure out what had caused it; it went down in the annals of Atlantis as "one of those things."

The Three Laws of Arthur C. Clarke (and corollaries thereof)

-1- When a distinguished [but elderly] scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
-2- The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
-3- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
( -- Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology; any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced; any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from a rigged demonstration; any sufficiently advanced anything is indistinguishable from utter nonsense. (Especially if it is sufficiently advanced nonsense to begin with.) )

Insight (Amnesty 2006, First Contact)

Insight
Rating: G
Pairing: Rodney/Teyla (McKeyla? if not then it so should be)
Notes: Whilst writing another, longer piece in the same pairing this appeared like a hairball. Posting in the hope of calling others to rally round the McKeyla flag.

Seriously, rare!het is like the slash of this fandom - few, far between and oddly, oddly right in ways you never expected

And maybe this is how this starts...

Author: Teaphile
Challenge: Second Amnesty/First Contact
Genre: Comedy
Pairing: John/Other, John/Rodney/Teyla/Ronon
Rating: N for no sex please, we're comedy writers
Notes: Total crackfic. I wrote the flashback for the original First Contact challenge, but had nowhere to go with the rest of the story, so I didn't post. A locked conversation in my journal provided the rest.

Fic: "The Last Word" by Lemonbella (First Night Challenge)

Title: The Last Word
Author: Lemonbella
Rating: U/Gen
Characters: Rodney McKay, John Sheppard, Sam Carter.
Summary: "How on earth can they justify putting that in my file?"

Okay, so this started out as a team fic. It was quite serious and deep, but then somewhere along the way it turned into comedy. And the team all disappeared. I'm sorry.

First Contact Challenge -- few minutes late?

Whew - just finished this. I blame the laundry. And work...

It's unbetaed.

Title: No Tribble At All
Author: Penemuel
Rating: This would be PG if I were using MPAA ratings
Challenge: First Contact
Pairing: Hints of McShep and Carson/Ford
Summary: "But I like cats..."
Notes: These critters come from one of my favourite RPG's (the books and dice type, that is), GMed by a good friend of mine. I thought it would be very entertaining for the Atlantis gang to run into them, especially considering some of the folks on the main team. And I have to admit a certain image got firmly lodged in my head, and now I think I have to try a manip... :)

TITLE: When The Kittens Have You
AUTHOR:
