Who’s Your Queen?
Word count: 100
When the 2003 Stargate SG-1 Fan Fiction Awards came out, I ignored the warning on Queen of the Amazons by SelDear telling me not to read the fic. I didn’t understand all that much of it. I was mainly attracted by the title, and I figured humor was universal, or at least that I’ll never get it if I don’t read more.
I’m finding that watching the show is more satisfying than reading the fanfic. I was worried for a while there that Stargate was just too good to fic - fanfic flourishes best in a cheesy atmosphere. My worries ended with “Fire and Water” - you can’t go right with the Creature from the Black Lagoon, character death, and unreasonable demands for information available for free in any public library.
While researching my forthcoming drabble, “Fish Story,” I found a cool Stargate mythology site, The Truth Behind Stargate SG-1, which had a random link to this Ninja mask lesson. I was unable to determine the connection to Stargate, but it’s funny.

SelDear is probably making reference to Michael Shanks’ movie “Sumuru.” Go here: http://www.savedanieljackson.com/sumuru/030111tdq&a.shtml and here: http://www.savedanieljackson.com/sumuru/pressrelease.shtml for some pictures. The movie never made it to theatres but was direct to video.
