It's pretty hypnotic if you watch it long enough.

i just found out that you can only have 20 gif's per post.

never knew that there was a limit before

Sam is indeed a great character. I love the fact that TPTB made her a blonde, either that or a blonde actress got the role. Either way it proves that not all blondes are dumb. And Amanda is a great actress to play her. Sam is definetely smarter than McKay.

hey, Hey, HEY!

Well, at least it looks like she's firing over his head. I think it's because she just heard rumors that he was flirting with some other woman. She's just letting him know that she 'don't play that'. I think he's getting the message...

Well, it's better than one site I frequent, that only allows three images per post! Geez, and when you're trying to write a smiley story!

Quick edit: I finally added an Amanda sig to my rotation. Well, it's not specifically Amanda, but I wanted a nice pair of eyes as the backdrop, and the first two that came to mind were Amanda and Torri (yes, there's a Torri version too, if you see green eyes in the rotation). I think I might have gone a bit over the top with the colour adjustment, though



The quote is from Douglas Adams' "So Long and Thanks For All The Fish" and is one of my all time favourite quotes.

CALL FOR SIGNATURES


!!! REMINDER !!!

SAMANDAN THANK YOU CARD

Hiya Ladies and Gents,

The time has come for me to send out my monthly reminder. I'll do this every month until about October.

For those of you who don't (already) know, I've been working on a little GABIT - AT2 project. It has been approved by the awesome G4 GABIT crew (back in February), and is essentially a "Thank You" card to Amanda, for ten years of Sam Carter - from SAmandans everywhere - but truly, from all of Amanda Tapping's internet fans.

Here's the plan.

To professionally print a poster-sized comic-book (esque) sketch of Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter (which I've already drawn), decked out in full SG-1 gear - around which we'd would love to have a whole bunch of signatures, accompanied by a small note of affection and/or encouragement for Amanda from her fans.

Amanda always signs autographs for her fans, I thought it'd be super cool to give her something signed by all of us for a change.

ChopinGal/Jester has generously agreed to write a simple poetic thank you phrase for the poster as well. This is something we hope Amanda might want to keep, and something that would remind her of how much we've all loved watching her play Sam Carter for the past decade.

We've recently been given the green light by the generous G4 to present the poster to Amanda during the AT2 GABIT even itself.

So... how will all the fan signatures end up on the actual poster, you may ask??

Good question!

Preferably, signatures will appear exactly as they were written.

1. Choose your message.

2. Choose your pen color (mind you don't use a giant marker, I won't be able to give anyone more than about 350 pixels width so use a pen if you can).

3. Sign a WHITE PIECE OF PAPER as though you were signing a group birthday card.

4. Have your paper SCANNED into the computer as an image.
a) Save it as a JPG/TIF/BMP
b) Set the DPI at 300

If you don't know how, you can have it done at your local copy-centre (KINKOS etc), it won't cost more than a dollar or two at most. Or ask a friend! It's REALLY EASY so please don't feel intimidated. If you're worried or unsure, just PM me and I'll help however I can. There's no technical skill required. So no one needs to be left out.

Remember, you've got as much space as indicated in the example image below. 250 characters or less

http://minigeek.net/img/examplesig.jpg

When you're done you just email the attached file to:

FanSigsForAT (at ) gmail.com
Use the subject header "SIGNATURE FOR AT"

That's it!

We've got some time to do this so don't panic. The poster will be presented to Amanda in November of 2006 at the GABIT AT2 event. So you can think about what you want to say (and how to say it in 250 characters or less!).

Obviously these are going to be read before I put them on the poster and I'll censor out rude, crude, personal or otherwise inappropriate comments - which won't even be an issue since I've never even heard of a rude, crude or otherwise inappropriate comment from an AT fan! In general, my recommendation would be to keep the message light and happy.

All goes well, we should have a really great original kind of "Thank You" card for Amanda. Something with a personal touch from as many of her online fans as wish to participate.

Thanks guys so much for all your help in advance... spread the word if you can. Wherever you know there are fans of Amanda.

Love and hugs to you all !!


Cheers,
minigeek

Welcome to the thread Padme , Hope you stick around and enjoy the fun and yes Sam and Amanda have indeed broke the "dumb blonde" stereotype

Ack! <--- these ones always creep me out because they're like wannabe anime thingies...

Does anyone ever wonder how the actors must feel when they come on this site, and there are easily about 10 cartoon smilies created in their image? Heh heh... That's gotta be disturbing.

I was wondering... should we be seeing some coverage of SG-1 in the form of magazine articles these days? I thought were getting pimpage by May of last year, but maybe I'm just impatient.

Alot of my sigs aren't actually in the rotation though.

Oh wow. Those are simply awesome. I love the "Windows to the Soul" one and the RDA diet.
