Sam Carter /Jack O'Neill Ship Appreciation Thread 2.0
I think you're right depending on the AU. For example, people saying what if Sam and Jack decided not to leave it in the room -I would agree that to some extent the requires an OOC decision. On the other hand Jack and Sam get stranded on a planet together. Now we've taken *our* Sam and Jack and placed them in a situation that we never had the chance to see. That doesn't require OOC, that requires an understanding of the characters in order to extrapolate what their behavior would be.
That being said, I don't mind the "what if" they made another decision partly because it plays in the world that Stargate has set up - there are multiple AUs and so those fanfics in my head are us taking a look and seeing how things might have turned out differently. And I enjoy those myself (again, good characterization is required.) - the reason I don't consider it OOC is because for example, we have Dr. Carter, meaning somewhere Sam made a choice...
Does that make sense?
I agree and it does make sense.
I like reading about AU's because they give us a different view of how the characters could have become if they made, for example, one different decision or did one thing different or one extra/different event made them change their minds. I like reading those because it gives me in a way a new view of the characters and sometimes lets me learn the characters in a way we couldn't have learned about in canon.
I do hate reading stories where S/J are so different and OoC that people just used their names and settings but the characters aren't ...the same...I know that everyone sees a character different but sometimes it just ain't realistic.
So...talking about AU's...someone got a good AU rec for me?

Well there's this one where in an AU Sam and Jack end up in a relationship and they have a baby that's sent to another universe where the S/J there are more like our S/J... oh wait, that's *my* fic isn't it? Oh... gee... too bad I'm still working on the next chapter...

I want a new chapter. I already fell from my chair, my bed and my feet hurt too much for tapping impatiently with them!
I'm going into strike till you post a new one
*crosses arms stubbornly*
Jenn nice fic rec but I think I read it earlier this month, is that possible? got an old memory; it tends to forget things

Hey I'm working on it Well... sort of, I'm waiting for google to upload all my docs. This computer I'm on is wonky and I think you'd be sorely disappointed if I lost everything I'd worked on thus far... so... by the end of the week. That is my self-imposed deadline!!
I gave in already LOL. I can't resist a good fic rec. It's like I'm a drug addict. And I'd get help but I hang out with other junkies...
So...you're calling us junkies? That just sounds bad while this is a wonderful thing for the brain

....one whole week I'm going to cry now Will that help?
I'm desperate for fic I know! The problem I have is that I prefer reading fic over real life books and I still have two books to read!
Ah ok...I have her in my LJ list so I think I probably read it when she posted it
I have an LJ account but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I mean, I see the clicky links, but mostly based on my overwhelming laziness at not wanting to figure it out... I haven't. I can't find the secret stash of s/j fics... so I just wait til one ya'll give me a linky.

The sheer amount of time we spend shipping should say something about our obsession. Yes, we are junkies but you know what, only quitters quit.

Hey I've pumped out a good deal of shorter stories so I haven't left you STARVING.. mwhahaha... just wait til you hear the ideas floating around in my head for my next big fic project.... with only 2 chapters and an epilogue left for Professional Boundaries, I'm starting to plan my next attack
So 2010 is coming up... and I'm wondering if there isn't something shippy we shouldn't do - nothing like a whole thread but maybe we should do a fic marathon about 2010 the episode - a celebration of sorts that our intrepid explorers fixed the timeline???
Shameless plug: Fate & Free Will - First chapter is what might have occurred between Jack and Sam in their last conversation before the events of 2010... and the second chapter is when Sam shows up at the cabin at the end of Moebius (stays IC IMO).
