I don't know how many of you have used or want to use Scrivener. It's a writing program for the Mac, one that I've heard about but haven't used. Anyway, right now they're doing a special promotion for NaNoWriMo, where the free trial lasts from now until December 7, and if you win NaNo, you get 50% off. You can get the details here.
Two Recs:
rowan_d wrote a STARGATE fic. Like Fire on Wind, which is broken Sam and angsty and lovely. It's Sam/Jack, although I felt it could possibly be read as friendship, (as long as you read everyone in love with everyone else, like I do). Rowan took Sam's tendency to pessimism and wove it into a fic where Sam is alienated from the team by her own feelings and actions.
The second one is a much older fic--really a series, but I just re-read it and just...love it to pieces.
cofax7's This is Not Wartime. OT3 (Sam/Jack/Daniel) apocafic set after season 7, where the team is all broken and adrift and trying desperately to eke out a victory against the Goa'uld who have conquered Earth.

The first year, Annerb and I did writing sprints via AIM, which was very helpful for those days when you just didn't know what to write, or how to say it--you just had to write or die! (Write or Die, actually, if it's still around, is also a great tool. As long as you keep typing, you're safe... *twitches nervously*)
