Has anyone read this 'The Price You Pay' SG-1 novel by Ashley McConnell? My god, it's bad. I've only read the first 10 pages, and already I've found several spelling mistakes, one being the name of a main character! I might be able to forgive the slightly OOC-ness seeing as it's set in season 1, but Sam WAS NOT in her 20's in season 1! *rolls eyes* This is the kind of stuff I'd expect from beginner fan fic, not a published novel...Oh dear...

*ahem*

Icons!!!

I was inspired to do these after reading For Now by Komos

Really nice work! :) Love "Jungle Jack" and "Jack + Tree = OTP" ^^ Just sweet :)

And I must say I'm glad that I haven't read one of those SG-1-novels... Just yesterday I was looking for them at Amazon and was shocked by the reviews... They must be gruesome! I don't get how such novels could be published... It's a shame that some of the really good ff's never will be published. Some of them really deserve it! Especially when you consider what novels were published *shudders*

I bought four of them last fall, and they weren't bad, actually. Okay, so one of them went a liittle overboard with the whole googly-eyed Sam/Jack-thing, but then I'm no fan of Sam/Jack, so...

Overall, though, I gave them some pretty good reviews. Never got around to doing the last one, and I've lent them to a friend right now, but even that wasn't bad bad.

You can read my take on them here: Trial by fire, A matter of honor and The cost of honor.

Some of the books can get a bit gruesome, but I don't really mind that, as it adds realism. I've really enjoyed the Fandemonium ones though.

I've read Trial by Fire (loved it) and A Matter of Honor (Loved it too), but I can't find The Cost of Honor anywhere which poops me as it's a really good Jack story. And City of the Gods was excellent (despite the shippy subtext and Jack seeing Sam naked *rolls eyes*), purely because I'm a fan of Sonny Whitelaw.

Well, I read your reviews ^^ And they really aren't bad. But still it's a bit unsettling to read all the other negative reviews at amazon ^^

Wow. These are... gorgeous. Fallen Angel, Scuba Selmak (wow, those were some ugly uniforms, weren't they?), Jungle Jack and the two starry Sam ones are my favorites.
