thecartouche was an email discussion group focused on Stargate and Stargate SG1 fanfiction.

It was created on May 8, 2002. It was a public group, with no membership approval process.

As of October 2019, the group had 388 members.

Description

This group has purely been created for the purpose of keeping up a regular dosage of stargate fanfic. what, with heliopolis down until june i figured we need it! all general fic that is accepted on the general area of heliopolis is allowed (no NC-17, slash etc) as we'd like to keep this open to all younger people as well.

History

In December 2004, members of the group discussed the future of the mailing list.

If you remember, Sharim started this group while Heliopolis was down completely for several months (and nobody was sure if it was coming back) as a place for people to share fic.

Well, it went gangbusters at first but as you can see...lately the spam mails usually outnumber the legitimate posts.

I was wondering if the list could be revamped into a place for everyone to announce updates to their websites and stuff. Sort of a central place to announce all new things Stargate related...SG1 and Atlantis both. And not just fic but vids, 'zines, artwork, all of it.

We could still allow posted fic if we wanted to of course but from the lack of activity we've seen lately it doesn't seem like that is something folks want to do anymore around here.

As a reader, not a writer, I signed up long ago to get my (then) almost daily dose of SG. I don't usually have time to wade through all the stuff that gets posted to Heliopolis, and the writers I really enjoy (Suz key among them) were posting here. I would very much like hints on web site addresses and other spots to pick up the best, not the rest, of the SG fic I'm really missing here. If that's the future of the list, then so be it. At least it would give us a direction to follow to hone in on the writers we really want to read. Perhaps you could ask everyone who has posted here to at least give us their web site addresses before calling it quits? Please?

summary; sam thinks about danny

It's been a month. A whole month without Daniel's hard. I just never imagined it would hurt this much. I knew I'd miss him but this; this is driving me crazy. I keep expecting him to walk through the door, phone me or hold me in his arms. Jack's pretending it never happened; pretend he didn't exist and then you don't have to deal with the pain. Teal'c, Teal'cs managing to cope somehow. Jonas, do I even have to think about him. I want Daniel. I feel so empty without him. I just want to be able to talk to him. I never had much of a chance to.. to before he left. I was cryptic about what I said as I knew everyone was listening, they could have at least given us some privacy, we were all Daniel had left. If I could talk to him though what would I say? I want you to come back. I need you. I love you. None of that seems right; maybe it should come from within my heart and soul. What would that be? Daniel I know your reason for going the way you did, this way you can continue your life and not die. Although I'm upset I wont be able to spend my days with you by my side I will always love you as you have taught me more about myself and others than anyone ever has. To let you know that I will continue your life through mine, I will look at things how you would, learn to see things from a different perspective. To fight for what I believe even if I get hurt along in the process. To let you know that anyone who comes to the SGC will know about the man who made this all possible, who we owe everything to. But more importantly to let you know that I will love you for all of my days and that when it is my time to leave this earth I hope you will be there to greet me. If this came from the heart it is one filled with love for the man that is Daniel Jackson the symbol of hope and the man in my heart.
