What do you do about massive flames that not only insult you but your readers?

Totally depends on the review(s) and who, if signed in, made them.

[Nikki Alexander]

This person actually was signed in. And yes, I reported them. Now I just have to wait to see what is done about it.

I hope you get it sorted, there's no need to leave nasty reviews.

If this was on ff.net, your best bet is to block them from future reviews and I believe you can delete their review as well. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for help from the mods of ff.net, who are as elusive as the unicorn.

How do I block them from future reviews?

Block and/or ignore. Do not feed the trolls.

So I'm doing this 1 Sentence challenge from LJ and you have a table of 50 words and you've gotta write a sentence for each word. I've got about 8 of them done, but I'm kinda struggling for ideas on what to put for Sensual, can anyone suggest any ideas, like a situation where the word Sensual could be used. I'm doing it for Colonel Reynolds and my OFC.

Totally locking out the gate will depend on whether or not the SGC will send help.

Now if SG1 was fleeing from another planet, then the SGC has no idea where they are so can't come after them. But if they were leaving from the SGC and didn't make their return, SOP is to open the gate, try for communication, send a UAV and possibly a rescue team.

All depends on your plot of course.

You said a cave on an island.....what if the cave holding the gate is under the high tide line? and, on this planet, high tide lasts for days. Add some turbulence and waves and rocks and you make it suicide to try and dial out, or for the SGC to dial in.

Very clever...I will ponder it. I was going to have the SGC in contact, but reluctant to send a rescue team and simply get them trapped as well. At this point there is going to be some issues for SG1 to take care of without SGC backup. I assume if I have a missing red power crystal, the SGC could just send one through the gate??

Is there a difference between disobeying and defying an order? For example, in SG-1's season one finale the team is disobeying orders by going through the gate [to stop Apophis] and in Upgrades the team sneaks off base to eat steak etc and Jack tells Hammond they were defying orders.

Sorry it took me a bit. I asked my son (he's in a military program) and he said disobeying is just ignoring orders, defying is when you know the orders and you make an informed choice to do something different. If they were under direct orders to NOT leave the base, then leaving would be defying an order; disobeying would be if they know that they shouldn't, but there's no real immediate directive against it. Defying an order is more confrontational--"You're wrong, I'm right, and I'm gonna do what I want." (more of flipping a Bird the bird, if you get my drift). Disobeying is less intense, more sneaky--"We're not supposed to leave the base, but I'm dying for a steak. Let's go to Joe's Steakhouse; we won't get caught."

[Skydiver]

They wouldn't send a replacement crystal. there's a bit of a shortage on those (as in the show's never had spares), what they'd send is a naqahdah generator to power the gate so it can be dialed.

What if....what if there's a flu epidemic going through the SGC and they simply lack the staff to go on a rescue unless they really have to? or if the SGC is quarantined, so no one can physically come? What if another team brought back something, and the base is locked down and no one can leave?

Aha, thank you. So in the case of Upgrades it was defying an order because Hammond had confined them to base, while it was disobeying orders in the season one finale because the SGC had been shut down (on orders of the higher-ups/POTUS)? I figured it was something like that but I couldn't find a straight answer or an explanation about the difference, so I wasn't sure whether I was just grasping at straws to explain a writer's phrasing or if there was an actual difference.

It's just a very fine line, that's the difficulty. Glad I could help/clarify (or teen could ).

Does anyone here know how write Cameron Mitchell really well?

[BruTak]

Probably a silly question, but is the window glass in the SGC Control Room and in the Briefing Room bulletproof?

I don't think so. We've seen two people fighting and falling through the window (The Broca Divide) and it shattering under the gravity coming through the Stargate in A Matter of Time. I think there have been a few more incidents where it was under fire or broke but nothing comes to mind right now. However, we do know that when a team comes in hot or the gate is otherwise under fire they tend to close the blast door (or more like screen) in front of the window of the briefing room and control room...
