Yep. Think I've seen a few on the JF/JS thunk thread, but these are by far the best. Think my fave is the third one, as Sheppy is really looking fondly at - my back yard! LOL

He shoots a Wraith ("Bob") in a cell near the end of The Siege part 1. Is this the one you're thinking of? I can't off the top of my head think of any other times he does this.

Yes thats the one, you star!!!!

re. that tendrilly bullet thing: my husband says it rings a bell with him, too, so it can't be fanfic, but must be some proper book or TV show or movie. This is annoying me so much. Grr!

Okay, Rhymer, I'm game!

Sheppard is surrounded by simpering cherubs. Harps, celestial music, gently fluttering wings, cooing noises, blue sky, fluffy white clouds, the pleasant scent of baby talc - the works. Then they open their mouths - and have nasty, pointy teeth! Like those evil dolls in Barbarella! Poor Shep is surrounded, savaged by a not-so-heavenly host, and yea, verily, there shall be very drippy blood...

Now to ponder upon lettuce whump...

*exits, stage left, with remnants of sanity*

I never did trust those horribly twee cherubs in Renaissance paintings. Now I know why.

I am frequently whumped by lettuce. I hate the stuff, yet it's pushed its way into about 90 percent of the sandwiches all my nearby shops sell. I once did an LJ poll about people's attitude to lettuce in shop-bought sandwiches, and not a single person actually liked it. Many people tolerated it, but even more picked it out. Yet they still put it in! Grr!

hmm.. does anyone know if we're allowed to use festive sigs, like Christmas ones?

and I know these aren't whumpy, but I thought I'd share a little Christmas spirit, Shep style...

here are a few, the rest (along with a Shep Christmas screensaver) are on my LJ (link in sig) if you're interested.

Ooh, very pretty! I particularly like the third one. That lovely expression works really nicely with that colour scheme.

Spoiler:

I can't scan the image and couldn't find the article on scifi.com but thought I'd give you all the heads up.

P

OK - Found a scanner and have the pic but now I have no idea how to get it here for you all to see. Please help. The image is large and in jpg format. When it hit insert image it asks me for a url but the pic is on my desktop.

Also, upon reviewing my initial post I would like to clarify...

You need to upload it into Photobucket and that will give you an image code

SGA Fan......those Xmas Sheps are beautiful! LOVE the third one especially.

They make me feel a bit more festive and that's a good thing.

MENTAL GREEN since I have to spread it around.

Aha! I've tracked down that tendrilly bullet thing. My mind was edging closer and closer to the thought "Star Trek", and sure enough, it's from one of the original series novels, The Entropy Effect, which I probably read nearly 20 years ago, but obviously the whump potential ensured that the memory lingered. It's called a spiderweb bullet, and has tendrils that spread through the nervous system, until they reach the brain, whereupon they kill the person, and also cloud their eyes over with silver film. Nice idea. Well, apart from the killing thing.

Thanks for walking me through that one. It was actually not as difficult as I thought. The images are a bit blurry - best I could do. Hope you enjoy. They are from Sci Fi Magazine (US publication) Feb. 2009 issue. Pics from Vegas

It's some 18 years since I read my way through all the original series Star Trek novels that then existed, but I do seem to remember that it was my favourite of the lot. I must reread it sometime.

Well, I'd better be going to bed. I've been reading a book about the science of sleep, and the last few chapters have been going on about the dire consequences of not getting enough sleep - which include some good and interesting ideas for sleep deprivation whump, which I may well post about tomorrow. Staying up late in order to write up the awful results of not getting enough sleep would just be too ironic.
