Off the Record is a slash Stargate SG-1 fanzine.

It is an all Jack/Daniel sister zine to the gen AU and “through the quantum mirror” type zine, Splinters.

Summary

From the publisher: "The existence of alternate realities has been firmly established as “canon” on the show. Authors have taken an episode and rewritten it in some way, creating an alternate universe. Or they have written a completely original tale about an alternate reality SGC. What-ifs or alternate universes altogether!"

Jack, Daniel and the rest of SG-1 live very different lives in the League. The fight against the Goa'uld has taken a totally different course and the members of an elite League of super heroes fight to keep Earth safe. "Our" SG-1 must join forces with their coun terparts temporarily before they can return to their own reality.") (112)
  • Journey’s End by Graculus ("Daniel Jackson thought nothing would ever fill the void left inside of him after the death of his lover.
