The Sam & Jack Shippers' Archive

[LtLisa]

My FAVORITE DANCING Lt you are the best!!!!!!!!!!

If Sam & Jack don't get together I will have to slap them just because you have danced yourself silly!!!!! from Delphi all the way over to here....

Gads at least here I think it was Ship Nana that found Pictures of you dancing but girl you just keep on and I will just keep on grinning!!!!

As long as you are dancing I KNOW there is hope for Sam & Jack and I KNOW there is HOPE that TPTB are going to get this whole thing RIGHT and Sam & Jack will *Dance* into each other's arms for that BIG PASSIONATE KISS*!!!!!!

(((Tame))) it is my honor to serve! (psss...and JOna and Thera are off in that supply room AGAIN!)

//Pete is no threat to O'Neill."//

and Carter loves O'Neill. She adores him.~AT those are the words to live by shippers...

Marimba, I agree with everything you said about the OT stuff (p.146). And yes, the season finale of Alias was awesome...theres some PTB that LISTEN to their fans and know how to please the shippers. JJ Abrams (the creator) has said no more playing with the ship! ship forever! PTB, are you listening? the same for Sam and Jack please!

Okay, now to more serious matters. This whole OT debate. We have ALL been guilty of being OT at one time or another--there are over 15,000 posts in the archive to prove it and I'm QUITE sure that not every post in that archive is serious and on-topic.

Lately we have had very little ship to talk about and so we have been getting to know each other on thread--a good thing IMHO. While I agree in principle that posts should be kept as close to topic as possible, it would be difficult to decide what is too far away from topic and who to penalize accordingly and it would probably devolve into bickering--not a pretty picture.

I'm quite sure I don't need to remind the vets here of the situation over at the Sam and Jack list--lots of bickering from certain people, not a pleasant place to be sometimes. Several people have come here because of the warmth and genuine affection that they see here. Who wouldn't want to be a part of that? I, for one, do not want to see that go away.

I hear the complaint that the OT posts are the reason the thread is going too fast. While they may be a contributing factor, they are not the ONLY reason. Remember that the number of people who post on this thread has grown SIGNIFICANTLY over the summer! The sheer number of people who delurked because of Affinity is AMAZING!! More people=more posts.

But here's what worries me folks...

We have always been a big shipper family and I'm worried that when we hurt each other, we are destroying that. We have always been about boosting people up, NOT tearing them down. We are all antsy of late because of Affinity (just like we were antsy over Chimera) but the key difference here is that we are so worried about Pete that we seem to have forgotten why we're here. In that spirit, I'm going to repost my reasons for being here...

1. I LOVE SAM AND JACK. I like them in a box, with a fox, etc. You get the idea.
2. I have ALWAYS felt welcome and APPRECIATED here. And ONLY here! I have been part of various other forums and this is the ONLY place where shippers can go and have a SAFE place where they won't be attacked by antis or even each other (in the case of the S and J list). I've invited friends from other forums to come here BECAUSE of that WARMTH and AFFECTION!
3. Right now you guys are the ONLY reason I'm even WATCHING. I have loved SG-1 for eight years but after Affinity I was ready to throw in the towel--you guys kept me going.

On a slightly different note, how can we reasonably ask for what we want from TPTB when we are ready to implode? The one thing that unites the antis and keeps them going is how much they hate the ship. If they agree on NOTHING else, they agree on that. Do we really want to forget about writing letters, postcards, etc. so we can fight amongst ourselves? I don't.
We used to agree on our love of ship and I thought we had a nice rapport going. Seemed to be a fairly good balance of fluff/serious discussion. I guess I was wrong.

Okay, rant done I think! Whew!

Well said. As in any Family, there will be conflicts from time to time, but let us all lace our words with kindness.

Everyone together now... Sam and Jack Forever!!

[LtLisa]

Ah, the shipper family is a good family to be in. No doubt about it, this is one of the best anywhere on the Internet for any topic of discussion!

As for RDA's involvement in Season 9 and S/J ramifications *if there is one* speculations and addressing Marimba's comparison to Alias.

Spoiler:

I'd be absolutely thrilled about a season 9 and absolutely thrilled if RDA would be in it. Marimba's right. Lauren on Alias was a MUCH bigger pain in the mitka than Pete will ever be on SG-1. JJ Abrams, the creator of Alias, commented about how off-track the third season went, and how Lauren had a pretty big role in driving the storylines off target. He said next season, he's going to get back to some things which made up the heart of the show, like rooting positively for Sydney/Vaughn. Maybe SG-1 will take a hint. After all, they seem to have been copying several things from Alias this year. Need I mention the concept of a Covenant, and furthermore, a secret rogue organization called the Trust? I mean, supposedly there's a Rambaldi Trust on Alias now, too. They might as well continue the trend and off Pete. LOL.

omg, if Stargate does an ALias and they blow Ptui away (in self defense of course) while making out? omg, I'd be SO unbeleivably thrilled. He can live, but still...I won't have a problem with this...

i don't know if anyone's interested in explaining how and why they ship, of even if they can, seeing how it can be such an emotional, visceral reaction, but it might be interesting to see what people come up with

Marimba THANK YOU For that reminder of why we were here and HOW much our being supportive of each other during this DRAUGHT of Ship is such a KEY factor in getting us through. AND that REMINDER of why GW is so DIFFERENT from so many other threads.

[TameFarrar]

If the Family would allow me... may I present my humble gift for Tame....

A Wee Bitty B-day Ditty
dedicated
to
Tame *

Without Tame, GW just wouldn’t be the same –
Who else could be the Queen of Jack’s domain?
Oh yes… such a righteous hussy –
Keeping Jack all warm and fuzzy…

Tame… the Beta Extraordinaire
Always sweet, always fair…
On each-n-every one of us she’s made her positive mark
She only gives into the temptation of an *occasional* snark…

She posted, she played, she saw, she came
For most exciting things Tame’s always game…
Especially those certain skills she continues to hone
While dutifully engaged in Therapy with the JackClone.

Forever we’ll still think she rhymes with fame
For keeping it going - I’ll shoulder the blame!
Multitalented she is – as ShipperTown Activities Director,
GW Friend & Ship Cheerleader, she always leaves us wanting more…

So… yes, this ode may be a bit lame…
But just the same
FCOL
Just remember her name!
Our
Very
Own
Tame!

Happy Birthday Tame!

*as in rhymes with fame, for this ode…

Shimmeringstar... Thank you

I just want you to know this is the first time I have ever have an *Ode*
and you made me cry

Thank you very much

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAME

I hope that your birthday is as special as you are. You are such a great part of this forum. Always with a kind word of support for anyone who needs it. You make us all feel welcome even from the first post. As a lurker I came to really appreciate your kindness and I wasn't disappointed when I de-lurked.

I have come to think of you as a friend (just like many others in this thread) even though we have never met. For some reason I know that I can come to you if I need a shoulder to cry on and that reason is your kindness. So please don't smack me up side the head and ruin the angelic pedestal I have put you on.

Now, just so that I stay on topic....I wish that I could give you a Sam and Jack kissy for your birthday because I know that is what you wish for the most. But you'll have to be satisfied with the knowledge that you'll get your wish next year sometime. Yes, I am sure. Have a great day Tame. You deserve it. Happy Birthday.

edited for spelling

Thank you Critter, thank you for you very kind words as well.

((((((((((((Critter)))))))))))))))

Ok new Birthday rule...No fair making me Cry
