The Sam & Jack Shippers' Archive

[Catysg1]

Okay, I just had to throw in my 2 cents. I didn't add anything new so much as I made a few changes.

If you don't like my suggestions... "tough"

------------------
Dear Amanda,

The entire Shipper Family of Gateworld is collectively putting this letter together in the hope that you will read it and see how much we all love both Stargate and the character of Sam. Some of us have been watching since the very beginning and some of us only started watching more recently. All of us post on Gateworld, and more specifically in the Sam/Jack shipper discussion thread (come by and visit some time, we'd
love to have you!).

We have all enjoyed watching both Sam and Jack grow and change and we think that their relationship has added an extra depth and dimension to the show. It is wonderful to see two characters who love and respect each other so much. A breath of fresh air when most television love stories are so badly done.

One common theme we have in this thread is that we all think that you are an extremely talented actress and the show is better off for having you on it. You bring a depth and warmth to Sam that enriches each episode.

While reading various posts on this thread, one might notice a slight aversion to the idea of your character's involvement with Pete Shanahan. While we understand and even accept your desire to stretch your acting legs and explore Sam's development in other areas, we simply feel (rather strongly) that Pete, as we saw him on TV, took away from and weakened the character of Sam with his actions.

Please understand, we do not dislike David DeLuise (some of us even think he is cute) but we don't like what the relationship is doing to the character of Sam. What we've always admired about Sam is her independence, her strength, her commitment to the program and her teammates, and the fact that she still manages to keep a softer side and can express her feelings when she sees fit. In the relationship with Pete, Sam has lost many of those qualities. In fact, we've spent many hours trying to rationalize behavior we find to be "out of character" --and we've come up with what we think are some pretty logical conclusions-- but we enjoyed the character of Sam more when we felt we knew her.

We are sending you this gift of two CDs, which contain some of the best music videos from two of our "family" members, Caty and Lisa. We hope you enjoy their labour of love as much as we have!We suggest the delight of watching " Remember when it rained" ,"My confession", "Miss Independant" " Breathless" from caty aka ShipDiva and ".......".,"...........", "..........","............." from Lisa aka Marimba.

I have changed "work" with "Labour of love" and added some suggestion ..May be Lisa can select her suggestions.....If you prefer for me to change my selections...I can

I have changed "Work" with "labour of love"and added some suggestions ....May be Lisa can select her suggestions

if you want me to change the suggestions , I can it's only an example ..and I think those videos represent well the Sam and Jack ship ....but I will change them if you think some of the others are better to suggest ..I will still put 17 videos on the CD anyway.....But to suggest , what do you think?..." may be "I surrender" from Celine Dion could be replaced by one of them.!!!!!

Gosh, this is so wonderful. What a great letter!!! Some new family members have even come out of lurkdom to be part of this "labor of love" for Amanda. I'm feeling the love!!!!

I thought we might add the countries where we are all from to show how large and global our family is. So with that in mind I make the following additions.

I have nothing to add. Everything is beautiful and perfectly described.

Nice job everybody!

Sounds wonderful!

It's all edited nicely. It's short enough that it's not babbling on and on, but long enough to get all of the point out. ANd those vids will be a great touch, just please put the ones you think are best in... AT is going to like those, I'm sure.

It's great!

<dancing and chanting in my ceremonial BDUs> Screw the regs! DOWN with Pit! Sam and Jack FOREVER!

If it hasn't been added already, you can add this little tidbit from me in the appropriate spot:

We think Jack is just a much better man for Sam. They've seen each other at their best and at their worst. They have been through so much together. To us that definitely lays the foundation for something special.

(mutters): Jack also doesn't go poking his nose in where it don't belong, unlike a certain character. Don't add that muttering!!!! Don't think AT or TPTB would appreciate that! LOL!

[Gatetrixer]

You can put me in the signatures, as I wouldn't know how to do it.

Question: Why put "slight" aversion to Pete? We are inviting her to come to this discussion. If she did, she'd see right away that the aversion isn't "slight". Otherwise, the letter and the suggestions for additions are great.

Because if we said, "We hate Pete's guts", she wouldn't want to come here ever, and she wouldn't want to finish reading the letter.

Oh yeah, Add me to the signatures... I don't know how to do it either.

Hi
I have not been able to get onto the Gateworld Site for a couple of days and what do I find you have started another thread.

I think the letter is just right and it is respectful to Amanda. Can you add the UK to your list of countries?
