Crossing the Quantum Divide

Don't worry, we haven't forgotten about those last three fics that were nominated in Best Alternate Reality! We were just trying to highlight as many different fan works as possible over the past few days and since we're only human (and have real lives), we haven't gotten around to doing them all yet.

So, without further ado, here are the last three fanfics from the Best Alternate Reality category!

Quantum Mirror on the wall...

Alternate Reality.  What's not to love?  Our talented nominees have shared many takes on alternate Sams, Jacks, and completely Alternate SGC's or wildly divergent-from-canon tales.  We've reviewed many of the nominees in the category so far, here are a few more.

Fork in the road stuff

At the beginning of the week we brought you the third blog post about the amazing fics nominated in the Best Alternate Reality category, but we're not done yet; here are three more!

Two of them are a few years old and one is by a new author, but that doesn't necessarily make one more popular than the other. All three are relatively long, multi-chapter stories though, so make yourself comfortable before settling in to read!

Through the Looking Glass

A week ago we started highlighting some of the nominations in the Best Alternate Reality category and, since this one is quite popular, here are some more!

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!

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.
