Eight stories reprinted from the 'Net (including the pre-slash story SuperGeek), plus one new story written specifically for the zine! 150 pgs [1] approximate, with 'shop 'art'."

Reactions 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]
