Whaddya say we mix things up a bit?

For some of our artists it just isn't enough for them to stick with one medium when making Sam and Jack pretties.  So what are you gonna do when you are inspired to combine pics and gifs and digital drawings? You come up with great pieces of art like the ones featured in the Art category for Best Mixed-Media.

Best Mixed-Media

Alone we can do so little...

...together we can do so much. -- Helen Keller

How does SG-1 continually beat the odds? What makes them so good at what they do?  Teamwork.  They are all so different and yet play to the talents of one another so well that it seems they literally can overcome any obstacle that is placed in their path.  

Featuring our favorite original foursome, Hammond, Janet, Vala, Cam, Landry and many others, the videos nominated for Best Team Vid all illustrate why you just can't live your life without the people who love and support you.

Best Team 

Every Jack has his Sam...

As shippers we can't help but love Sam and Jack together, but we all have our favorite Stargate characters.  Some only read S/J fic, others like Daniel-centric or team adventures. And luckily, like fanfiction, there are as many different kinds of vids as there are vidders to make them.  

Soooooo, who's in the mood for a little Jack today?

This next group of vids are our nominees for Best Jack Centric videos.  Watch, enjoy, and try not to get too distracted...sorry, what were we talking about?

Best Jack Centric

OMG...I think I snorted!

It's time for a break from all of this seriousness!  No really...we mean it.  Ever watch a video and feel like you hurt yourself from laughing?  Cheeks hurt?  Stomach ache?  Tears?  Well then, we have a treat for you today.  

The following videos are all nominated for the category of Best Comedy.  We dare you not to snicker, smirk, or laugh out loud as you get lost in the hilarity.

Best Comedy

We're Animaniacs!

Mirror, mirror, mirror... which is the fairest reality of them all?

We're back with more fork in the road stuff! As all you loyal Stargate: SG-1 fans know, there is an infinite number of ever-growing alternate realities, each existing and evolving concurrently with our own, according to the multiverse theory of quantum physics. Basically, anything that can happen will happen, if not in this reality then in another. So, while our Sam and Jack decided to follow the regs, an alternate version of them from a parallel reality might not - fork in the road stuff!

Earlier this week we highlighted a few nominations that dealt with alternate realities and in the next post you can see some more. So, get geared up and don't forget to pick up the quantum mirror's remote before you step through!

Men Ship Too? An Interview with a Nominator...

Want to know what's keeping this amazing fandom going and keeping the awards committee on their toes?

It's all of you, of course! Without awesome fans to promote the work of other awesome fans, this whole awards process would be pointless.

With that in mind, today we offer you some insight into the mind of someone we don't often get to hear about...the male shipper! What's that? You didn't know that there are guys out there with fluffy feelings and angsty ambitions? Think again!

Down the Rabbit Hole

When it comes to fanfiction, everyone has their favorite genres. However, it can't be denied that Alternate Reality (often mistakenly called AU) is very popular. And how can it not be when it covers many different ways for our favorite characters to get together, from quantum mirrors to non-existing frat regs?


With a category so popular, it is not surprising that there are a lot of nominations already. Today, we'll take take you down the rabbit hole and visit worlds that are just slightly different from the canon we know and love by highlighting a selection of nominated stories.

Category: Best Alternate Reality

AR fics are defined as stories that start in an Alternate Reality (i.e. it has Doctor Carter), are clearly set in an alternate reality as they do not follow canon ( i.e. established relationship, or events that happen at the wrong time), or interact with other realities via the quantum mirror or Stargate anomalies.

Interview with Sal R... a Nominee!

So we've been getting back into the swing of bringing you blog posts and one of the things we're really excited about are the interviews we do with both the nominees and the nominators.

For this installment we're bringing you an article on Sal R (also known in fandom as Sally Reeve and to the rest of the world as published author Sally Malcolm) - an institution in the Sam/Jack fandom.

We're Off to See the Wizard!

And the adventure continues...

We recently highlighted several fanfiction nominations from the Adventure category.  But, we have so many great nominees that we couldn't bring all of them to you in one post!  

So, change into your BDUs, grab your tac vest and your P90, because we're stepping through the gate to find alien planets, crashed ships, strange artifacts, missing stargates, and yes, we really are off to see the wizard.

Interview With Midknight Rider... a Nominee!

We are keeping to our strict schedule to make sure we can give you all the best experience for our first year hosting the Awards, so here's another interview with someone whose work has been nominated for the Sam & Jack Multimedia Awards!

At the moment of posting this blog she has received five nominations! Well, let's introduce you all to...

MidKnight Rider!

Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh My!

Who's up for a little adventure?

There are just as many reasons for why fans like SG-1 as there are fans to watch the show.  Some watch for the action, some watch for the science fiction, and some watch for the Ship of course! It's with all of this in mind that the categories were created for the Sam and Jack awards.

One of the things we wanted to do was bring you a taste of what other fans are saying about the works you've nominated or enjoyed. Aren't you curious?

C'mere and join us on a shippy adventure.

Interview With Steadfast... a Nominator!

A new interview! We will keep the introductions short this time; the fanfiction readers and writers among you might recognize her name, as she is a very loyal shipper who has reviewed probably just about every story she has ever read!

Here is...

Steadfast!
