Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[JT-2]

I know.. Sorry. Watched Sunday tonight and it kinda put me on a downer.

(which it shouldn't do cos I found out I'm going to be an Auntie again today!!)

I did a sad one for the David Hewlett/Rodney McKay thread as well... probably shouldn't watch the sad episodes when I'm lonely.

Very nice but very sad.

Congrats on being an auntie again!!

I'm watching Critical Mass. Great episode for everybody.

New fic by quiet_jay

You Had To Be There

It's fluffy and sweet and the perfect pre-hurricane fic.

Please dont mention the hurricane......I have an manditory evacuation order for my town =[

Have you left yet?

As Elizabeth would say to John - "Be safe."

[Southern Red]

I was fiddling with some software to see just what I could do with it and came up with this... I love the quote and the pic just not sure they should be together.

Thought I'd share anyway

I love the way you do the ones with only one color. I've tried to do that but can't ever seem to get it right. Do you use Photoshop? Care to share your secret? I'm hopelessly stupid with that sort of stuff.

And congrats on becoming an Auntie. My husband's cousin just had a baby boy and we are all just gaga.

Please dont mention the hurricane......I have an manditory evacuation order for my town =[

Oh no, and I thought we had it bad. I hope you have somewhere to go.

[TheLadyMore]

The family is gonna be with Step Nanna Phillyss. Still it sucks!

That's magnificent! Believe me, the quote and the pic work together very well. Poor, poor John. *pets John*

And congratulations on your next round of auntiehood!

Eeek! Stay safe out there! *sends hugs and good wishes*

[TheLadyMore]

Eeek! Stay safe out there! *sends hugs and good wishes*

Thanks, I hoping the storm is just a catagory one and it was just the news freaking us out....the news tends to do that.

*rubs hands together gleefully* Sparky fic will rule the e-reader world! I'm going to be playing with converting the files to EPUB format next, to see if I can take advantage of some of the other features of iBooks that I can't use on PDF files, like bookmarking. It's a bit of a trial run with an eye to eventually doing e-reader ready versions of episodes for Atlantis Rising.

Is it sad that the main reason I want an e-reader right now is to keep fanfic on it? *clings to my books*

Have fun with your painting. I did mine last weekend, but it was outside and I didn't have to be super careful.

I realized that if the power goes out, for once we'll still be able to read in the dark thanks to our e-readers. At least until the battery runs out.

Point for the e-reader....

I kind of love sad Sparky. They do it so well. *sniffles*

Keep up the good work MR!

So sorry to hear this. Darn hurricane.

Be careful.

Joins in sending hugs and warm thoughts to all the East Coast Sparkies. I hope you are all safely out of the hurricane's path by now or that it will completely miss your neck of the woods.

[Scary Kitty]

Yeah, they do have a tendency to exaggerate things. Of course, with something like this, there's no such thing as 'too careful.'

Nah, that's not sad at all. It's one of the reasons I got my iPad.

I'm really looking forward to the new color on the walls with all that lovely warm wood furniture. It'll make my inner sanctum so very cozy.

I kind of love sad Sparky. They do it so well. *sniffles*

Yes, they do. *wibbles*

To be honest there is no secret, I use the editing software that's in PhotoBucket -It's fairly basic but coloursplash and tint are my friends (though I have been given links to an idiots guide to GIMP that I may have to try )

@Scary Kitty

That's magnificent! Believe me, the quote and the pic work together very well. Poor, poor John. *pets John*

Thank you, I have so many more sad quotes and general ones as well that I think would work, it's trying to find the right pic for them that's the problem

[Madness reigns]

Okay another sad(ish) one, but I like the colouring (or lack thereof) on this one Must admit a lot of the quotes I have are not particularly happy thoughts.

[Southern Red]

Thanks, I hoping the storm is just a catagory one and it was just the news freaking us out....the news tends to do that.

Is is a Cat 1 now, but the problem is its size and speed. It will last a long time and pound the East coast. You guys have had a lot of rain and the ground is saturated, which will bring down trees when the hurricane hits. So, it's a good idea to be cautious.

I've been thinking about that bolded part lately. I wonder how much of the continued popularity of Sparky has to do with just that. We have enjoyed reveling in the angst. S4-5 gave us such wonderful, emotional moments that no matter how angsty and horrible they were, just added to our ship and brought out to almost everybody how much John cared for her. Yeah, it might not have been wuv twoo wuv, but nobody could have watched and not realized that he cared deeply for her. And that was a win to us, considering that we'd been told time and time again that there was to be no ship between them.

We have lasting images on screen that confirm our feelings and those will never go away. Sparky FTW!

[Falcon Horus]

How's Irene treating those on the East coast of the US of A?

Hope all are well!
