You know, every time I end up writing Stargate SG-1 fic, I swear I spend as much time trying to figure out ingenious ways to get people stranded offworld back home without the use of a functioning GDO of their own as I do figuring out anything else. Damn canon devices. And yes, Jack and Daniel are currently stranded offworld. But at least they're together now, which they weren't (for reasons I have no intention of going into) for about the first 12,000 words.

I guess every fandom probably has things like this (and if so, please feel free to share with me what they are...), but surely I can't be alone in my vexation? Also suggestions for dealing with the GDO issue gratefully considered!

E.T.A.: it's set in season 1...

Being, in Annie's phrase, "The Sultaness of Smut," I don't remember having that problem. I seem to recall trying to come up with better ways to get their clothes off faster...

How much of their equipment was lost? If it's just what they were carrying with them, then there could be a Segan box in the MALP or the FRED.

If they don't have a Segan box handy, what about a P90? I always thought a 50 round clip would be perfect for tapping out SOS in Morse code on the closed iris. *THUMP*THUMP*THUMP* *THUMP* *THUMP* *THUMP* *THUMP*THUMP*THUMP* rinse, repeat.

If they don't have a P90, how about just throwing rocks against the iris. SOS Send GDO to SG1.

Is there a alpha or beta site, and do they have shields in place? Would those be acceptable second choice places to travel to as a first step to getting home? Or what about Chulak?

It seems to me that how to deal with the absence of a GDO depends upon what season / canon timeline you are writing within. They had various allies and various possible havens at different points in the series.

If you aren't writing within a specific canon season, well then I think you are free to do whateve he heck you want ;-).
