97 stories, over a variety of genres and pairings.

Thank you to everyone who took part this year. And an extra thanks to the pinch hitters who stepped in to make sure no one would be left without a story.

Every year I think sga_santa can't get better, and every year the writers prove me wrong and knock my socks off.

Happy sga_santa to everyone!

Pairing: McKay/Sheppard

( Mended )

And a Happy sga_santa!

We have all but one story in now, and our elves (aka our wonderful pinch hitters) are busy labouring away to make sure that no one is left without a present. We will post that story as soon as we have it, hopefully at some point today.

Thank you to everyone who took part, including our aforementioned wonderful pinch hitters. This fest wouldn't be anything without you.

If you are an author who didn't manage to get your story in on time and would like it to be included in this year's anonymous fic!fest, please feel free to send it to either moonlettuce or I before 31 December and we'll post it anonymously on your behalf. If you finish it after that date, please feel free to post it directly to the community yourself as the reveal will already have taken place.

And speaking of the reveal ::g:: we will post our traditional masterlist, showing who wrote what, on 1st January! So watch this space. And in the meantime, consider this to be our official 'guess the author' post. So if you have a theory about who wrote which story, feel free to share it here.

Happy Holidays!

Title: Just a scholar
Author: ca_pierson and darkmoore
Recipient: jadesfire2808
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Rating: R for violence
Summary: Rodney might not be a warrior, but it's still a mistake to underestimate him and the things he will do to make sure his team is safe.

Author's Note: This was supposed to be a team fic, but somehow it got away from us (it's more Rodney centric now) and we didn't have the time to bring it back into the right direction. However ... it still is about the team and how much they mean to each other. Merry Christmas, jadesfire2808! We hope you will at least enjoy it a little bit.

Title: In the Blood
Author: keiramarcos
Recipient: curia_regis
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Rating: R (for violence)
Word Count: 5,000
Summary:"You will do what is asked of you."

Rodney looked up at the woman who had become the center of his own personal hell, his blood soaked hands shaking. "As long as he lives."

Author Notes: Curia_regis asked for: "Plot-centric McShep fic. Cameos from any of the SG-1 crew would be a bonus, especially if you can work Jack in there somewhere. Or just plot-centric gen fic. I love dystopias and mindfuck fics. But if it's McShep, I'd like a happy ending."

I hope you like what I've put together for you.

Title: Difficulties in Mathematics
Author: anon
Recipient: with_apostrophe. Hope this comes to close to what you wanted!
Pairing: None/Gen
Rating: G
Word Count: ~13,800
Spoilers: Set soon after "The Shrine" and relies on knowledge of that episode, as well as mention of "The Prodigal".

Notes: With more thanks than I can express to my betas, who know who they are. You guys have the patience of saints and the observation skills of copy-editors. Couldn't have done it without you.
Disclaimer: I don't own the laws of physics, I just like breaking them for fictional purposes. With apologies to Albert Einstein.

Summary:

Rodney paused, trying to think how he was going to explain without causing a general panic. Tact was probably called for and it would be as well to watch his words until he was absolutely sure about what was going on.

Of course, the words that actually came out of his mouth were, "Atlantis is about to be sucked into a black hole."
