"Geeks And Goons" is a Stargate Atlantis fanfiction series by Koschka. It was first published online and then as an anthology zine (Geeks and Goons) in 2005. The stories were available on Fanfiction.net until the author took them down at some point in recent years.[1] Koschka's stories have almost vanished completely from the internet and are only accessible at the moment with the help of the Wayback Machine of Internet Archive.

Koschka's first nine stories are gen or pre-slash, with a focus on Rodney McKay and John Sheppard. Later the series was continued as The Geek's and Goon's Guides in collaboration with liketheriver - and also growing out of liketheriver's Dictionary Series. These stories, written under the name 'likethekoschka', are McKay/Sheppard slash. The later stories are still online.

Recs and Reviews

The Geeks and Goons series (starting with Scientist, Wraith Killer, Space Pilot) gifts us with some of the funniest (and occasionally most touching) Sheppard/McKay interaction in the universe. The characterization on both men is pretty accurate, the byplay screamingly funny, and Sheppard's thoughts on McKay resonate nicely. Non-slash (except for one marked story); lots of whumping, but definitely not one to miss. The Cassandra Effect is a silly piece written in the wake of the rumor of an SG-1 cast member joining Atlantis (no the confirmation kerfluffle. Very silly, mostly because it's all true. And did I mention silly? [2]
