Now, on to today's feature...

If you are reading this post, you know how to use a computer.  But, most of you probably cannot use your computer to do the things our nominees have done. Instead of using a pen and paper to create these wonderful drawings, the artists nominated in this category have used their mouse and keyboard to draw, paint, and color. Who needs Crayola when you've got an electronic carousel to work with?

Best Computer Drawn

Nominations in this category can be any art created by the sole use of computer drawing software.

Interview With bluemoonmaverick... a Nominee!

Time for another interview! This time we have someone who is relatively new to the fandom; she lives in Texas, like one of our favorite generals and started publishing her first fic about two years ago. At this very moment, she has been nominated seven (7!) times for a Sam & Jack Multimedia Award.

Ring any bells yet? 

If not, that's fine too. Just keep on reading to learn more about the wonderful author known as...

Obviously, the time continuum has been disrupted.

One of the favorite conventions in science fiction is time travel.  In the Stargate Universe we were given several possible modes of time travel: the Stargate interacting with solar flares, time machines, even time dilation fields.  Fanfiction authors, in true fashion, have capitalized on both the canon time travel episodes as well as new time travel opportunities for the team.

Here we'll highlight three of the nominees for Best Alternate Timeline.

Nominated and Nominating...an interview with akachankami

A self-professed lurker on Gateworld, akachankami learned of the Sam and Jack awards when one of her shipper friends tweeted about it.  She loved the idea of the awards and was excited to talk to us about why she made her nomination and why she continues to help keep the ship alive as a vidder herself.

"I meant to say it was a great video, but I fainted on my keyboard..."

Derivative works are difficult enough to write let alone to completely re-purpose someone else's edited video to create your own spin on well-loved characters; and yet, that's exactly what our incredibly talented vidders do.  Angst has always been one of the most popular emotions to portray, so it's no big surprise that the genre has bled into fan-made videos.

Here are several of our nominees for Best Angst in the Video medium.

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!

The continuation of the Best Alternate Reality Category

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.
