I like this photo - I think it's cute. And although AT and RDA might just be fooling around, I don't think that TPTB would put this shot on the DVD if they didn't want to encourage us!

I agree! And I'm like ship daddy, I included the pic so I could look at it again. But really, this pic looks like a publicity stunt, and it they 'didn't' want to promote the S/J connection, then why encourage with photos like this? And what a photo it is. <lecherous grin>

Yes why would they post such great pictures if they didn't want to encourage us? I don't know...

That picture doesn't make me think about how CLOSE they're standing; how they're cheek to cheek (hey, I'm talking about their faces! sheesh...); where Sam and Jack could be going next and what they might end up doing...
Speaking of which (ok, it's just me speaking here) -- I was thinking about Mr. P. vs. Jack and what Sam will discover once she's gotten together with Jack... I mean I can just picture P. as an eager-to-please puppy, somewhat clueless/asking for approval (you know the actual bedroom scene that we didn't get to see - THANK GOD!).... While Jack will be proven to be the seasoned, um, veteran? OK, I'm willing to bet that he just KNOWS what he's doing... hmmm, trying to stay PG here ... Anyway, my point is (I do have one!), Sam just doesn't know what she's missing....
The "In Demand" series by JoJo (think this one's a gw), "Kaleidoscope" by A.M Richardson (at my site), and to round out the top 5--"Caught" by Aeryn. Never read that particular SR one but I'm going to look it up now.
Someone has to ask........links?
I've read 'go towards the light' and some of JoJo's....but not the others.
Particularly 'Caught' would be interesting...
Hey, though... I haven't been on any of these threads since I started on the Gateworld Forum again, but I've had a bit TOO MUCH of other people hating Sam/Jack Ship... *sigh*
It's a hard knock life for us shippers. One can't say anything in those unprotected threads without being MAIMED!
Nah, seriously, just kidding. They're all OK...
It's just nice to be surrounded by people of my own thought process when it comes to... ShIp.
WoW iT's LaTe... I'd BeTtEr Go To SlEeP nOw... SoOn.
I also think fanfic raises 'our' expectations on what we want to see on the show and characters. That's part of the reason why the S/P ship was so hard to take... because it was the stuff of fanfiction dreams.

I only make and watch videos ..I don't read fanfics ..NO TIME
but also if I was reading to many fanfics ..I know that my expectation for sam and Jack will be too high...therefore I don't ....
But I like to read when somebody write an ending for Sam and Jack..and if TPTB had to have them both stranded on a planet for a few months.....
I mean Jack got stranded in "Hundred days "and "Paradise lost ".They all got stranded in "the light".Sam was on her own in "Deathknell"......Apparently Daniel is stranded in a season 8 episode...
So why not Sam and Jack ....only at the end of season 8...a few episodes before the end...so that they can speak and love each other "Au naturel".....
Then back to the good team episodes ....with Sam and Jack being a couple but not affecting the show ..they go on mission as usual...and their relationship is only romantic when back at home but not off world .
For the Sam and Jack being togehter off screen ....yes ..but not in season 8 ..
I would like that in season 9....but also with some cameo appearrances from RDA as Jack every 2 or 3 episodes ....( 3 minutes would be fine )...as long as us shippers can still see something and the relationship is stonger as it ever been.
I would have replied sooner but I wasn't able to access the forum (or Gateworld) for the last....oh, 3 hours???
Suffice to say I was ....frustrated to no end!
That should not be allowed to happen.
*looks at watch to see if she can squeeze in a fanfic or two before bed...discovers its 10.30pm and reluctantly decides to get some sleep before her German exam tomorrow *
*then wonders why she is describing what she's doing to the forum in the third person. As O'Neill walks into her bedroom, Samantha Carter realises it's because she's been little off-balance since Jack jumped her in the Briefing Room...*
It's now 11pm and I'm not in bed yet. Instead of going to said bed - sans a certain Colonel - I read "Caught" by Aeryn.
Of course, when I went to read it, I did so in all innocence and - ever mindful of the ticking clock, the warm, waiting bed, the exam tomorrow - skipped over the story specs. You know, the summary. The Pairing. The Season. The Category.
.....THE RATING!!
In my haste, I also failed to notice the clear indication at the top of the page that I was reading a fic from Heliopolis 2. Imagine my surprise, then, upon reading sentences like this:
"He was in full throttle, [****censored****] [****censored****], position allowing him to [*****censored*****]...God, how could she be so [**censored**] ... her hands moved to [*****censored*****]. . . and she was [censored] and begging him to [**censored **] and that red haze began to come over him and he couldn't really hear what she was saying because [********censored********]."
At the word "gymnast" my eyebrows were in danger of being permanently embedded in my hairline.
"This author is just too much" thought I. "What a blatant piece of Uber-fluff" thought I. "Where's the emotional pay-off" thought I. "How very shallow, how..........daring " thought I.
You'll all be pleased to know - well, those of you that have read it - that I did in fact stick it out to the end.
By which time I had tears of laughter running down my cheeks!
I was laughing so hard I was worried I'd wake the rest of the house!
Going into the story cold like that - with no idea what was awaiting me - was simultaneously the most disturbing and humorous thing that's happened to me in QUITE a long time. I'm no prude, but when you're not expecting anything like that - and in hindsight, the title really should have given it away - well, what can I say.
