Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[Pearl of Atlantis76]

Ah tunnel-vision... I see.

Yeah, i guess something like that, yes!

Because the author(s) talks too much about it here, and on their blogs.

I see. So the author(s) have no intention

Spoiler:

of bringing Elizabeth back. They just felt the need to tell us that she has ascended and nothing more. Not good enough for me to make me want to go and read the rest of the books.

If you want Elizabeth in your stories, your best bet is fanfic... plenty of fix-it fics around I imagine, or fics where simply never left. Sparky is one of the more popular pairings to write for so plenty of stuff to choose from.

I like fix-it fics. They are very good. As long as they don't get too sappy. It is true, if you want her around, go to fanfic!

In need of a favour guys.

I fried my external hard-drive last week and lost everything including all my sparky pics to make artwork Who feels like posting their pics for me so I can get on with doing some artwork for the Sparky advent??


Pretty please

My art buddy!!! If any of you don't know, Madness reigns made the lovely background art of the Sparky Advent calendar last year and has agreed to do some this year as well.

I have some pics on my photobucket account if they might help you (pages 2 and 3 are the pics).


Thanks again to everyone who has volunteered!

Edit - and if you're browsing my photobucket, don't get alarmed at the J/T sig. I did that for a whump art exchange last year. It hurt my soul, but I did it.

You can shoot me for this but done well/written well they can be a just as much a great couple as any other. There, I said it.

Nope, they're not

Spoiler:

bringing Elizabeth back in the Legacy books. That is the last thing they would want because the authors are all Sheyla shippers and have written that into the books. That's fine, since it was the preferred ship of the studio. However, it was very badly done and ended up making everybody involved look ridiculous. I read Homecoming and couldn't stomach going any further. The whole reinvention of the Wraith is also bizarre, and what they did to poor Rodney isn't even a bit funny. I'm surprised that MGM allowed all that, but to each his own. Hopefully, someday they will do tie-in books that are a bit more canon oriented and better written. Also, at least one of the authors posts right here on GW in the book thread, but I don't think most of her loyal readers know who she is. LOL

I'm sorry, I cannot abide the idea. I'll acknowledge that it can be written well, but I'm Sparky to the core!

I agree with this 100%. That's part of the reason Homecoming appalled me so much. But, and this is a big but, for me it mostly goes back to the lack of actor chemistry. I just couldn't see it on the show no matter how much they tried to make me believe it. But with Sparky, they didn't even try and after years of "move along, nothing to see here" they still haven't convinced me that it wasn't real. *iz stubborn*

I'm going by what I saw in Rising at the very beginning... and I've read a couple of good fics back in the day. And there are those that flirt with the idea (I've done that myself with that Long Goodbye tag I wrote). It just depends, I guess...

Then again, I am a multishipper to the core. Heck, I can even appreciate a little McShep and I'm not even into slash-fic (even if I did once write Kavanagh/McKay, which was a bizarre moment in my fanfic-writing days , but I kinda liked it nevertheless).

I'm not into slash either. It kinda creeps me out!

Yeah... I write femslash mainly - FYI.

So you work at Starbucks-but-they-don't-call-it-that-on-the-show-due-to-possible-copyright-infringement-yet-their-coffee-cups-bear-a-logo-that's-remarkably-similar-to-Starbucks?

And I'm a Probationary Agent! Which means I used to be McGeek and Ziva (at different times during the show). Me likee!!!

Well I do make really good coffee according to everyone else in the family. Which is interesting because I drink WAY less coffee than everybody else in the family.

So you're a Probie. May the Spark be with you, Probie-Wan Kenobi.

Both kinds of slash kinda weird me out.

*drops into thread*

Whoo-hoo. I "accidentally" went Black Friday shopping last night ... and this morning ... and this afternoon. But we got a new 40" TV with surprisingly little hassle (so I got a "new" TV as well ), a $39 HP wireless printer that I had to return and exchange because the glass inside the scanner bed was broken, and a new Nikon 16MP camera for $69. All in all, we did pretteh good!

madness reigns, you're more than welcome to use my Photobucket account as well. I have Sparky-related screen caps organized by season, as well as a general menagerie of Sparky photos. Snurch whatever your little heart desires.

Speaking of which, I had Starbucks for dinner tonight. Heh.

Oh, I am so making a sig with that for the rest of the month.
