Authors, and Websites
- Recommended by Sikon
- A further development of the Alternate Universe presented in "The Changeling": where the cast are firemen, and the SGC is just T's dream. This Fan Verse has its own high and low points, but deserves commendation just for the worldbuilding involved: even Atlantis characters have been blended into the setting.
- Recommended by Robert
- Over 90 stories, arranged in multiple series, all in the same canon, including 12 based on the Cthulhu Mythos.
- Recommended by Lord Misfit
- Lots of stories with either a Daniel/Sam shipping theme, or other types that have a lot of focus on Daniel and Sam, even though Jack and Teal'c aren't left out. This troper highly recommends the 7-story "What You Already Know" series most of all so far, a nice Alternate Universe story about Daniel having returned to Earth from his ascension in Season 7 not quite as normal as once thought.
- Recommended by Nimhrodell
- Most of Vathara's SG-1 stories are cross-overs, and heavily so. But the connections between the worlds she connects are well thought out and engaging to read. (Several are sure to induce laughter so hard shortness of breath and contact with the floor may be common simptoms.) Cross-overs include the worlds of Rurouni Kenshin, Airwolf, Godzilla: The Series, Gargoyles and many others.
General Fics
Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.

Spoilers (plenty of foreshadowing) to the end of the series, albeit most of it is minor (except for the stuff with Daniel in season six.)
