Originally posted by SkydiverThere's an excellent Janet/adventure story called "The Measure of a Hero" & I'm sure there are others, but I've only scratched the fanfic surface.
thanks. (it's mine. I wrote it after a friend of mine read me grousing about how bridge could pull a happy ending out of it and i theorized how they could do it and she said 'stop *****ing and write it')
Sam and Janet, maybe i've just found some of the bad ones.
I've found sam usually portrayed as really butch and rather tough and I just see her a bit softer than many authors portray her.
Maybe you could post some links to some good femslash fic?
And, yes, I'm afraid you've been reading the bad ones. Sam & Janet have somewhat of a butch/femme dynamic on the show, especially when Sam hovers protectively over Janet, as she is wont to do (which is partly why a lot of people find that they 'read' like a couple; they're very complementary). But Janet is firmer, more outspoken & less self-doubting, while Sam is more vulnerable & wears her emotions more on her sleve. She's certainly not hard-edged or abrasive, our Sam. Quite the contrary.
BTW, I'm happy to say that Skydiver's "The Measure of a Hero" was among the winners in Abydos Gate's 2005 Teryl Rothery Contest. I hope it shows up in the Stargate Fan Awards so I can vote for it again.
I haven't had time to read RocketChick's "Ancient Air Series" but I can certainly (and enthusiastically) second Agent Dark's endorsement of "Before Knowing Remembers." I'm convinced it will rank as a masterpiece of fanfic. It's mostly Sam + some SamJan romance. Same for "The Beat of a Heart," which might be called a Grace fix-it, in that it ultimately steers Sam into the arms of Janet rather than (Ugh!) Pete. Then there's the short, devastating post-Heroes "One Last Kiss," which features a magnificent twist ending. RocketChick writes wonderfully for all the team & especially Jack, who emerges as the best friend you wish you had.
Mandy's "Relativity" is a straight (so to speak) SamJan adventure that looks promising, although I haven't gotten too far into it yet. I should make it clear that I read quite a few different types of SG-1 fanfic but I dig Carter & Fraiser so much as characters that those are the stories I gravitate toward most.

Originally posted by astrogeologistI thought she looked like she'd just come back too (just out of the 'Gate) and I thought she didn't know yet about the 'final condition' of either Janet or Jack. For all she knew she'd lost both?

RE Jacob, when I first watched Threads, I was honestly a little confused why Sam didn't seem to show much emotion over her fathers death until I realized that she had probably been expecting this. I think she knew something was up with her dad and had mentally prepared herself, and now going back and watching it I think that scene is perfectally done.

I did a bit of Photoshopping on that one as you can imagine...first removing the SKYONE text from her hair and then adjusting the brightness/saturation/contrast/levels/lighting/curves/color balance so we could actually see her face and it was the correct tone...
Here are the before and after shots:

first off, THANK YOU for sharing these wonderful pics!
do you guys notice how much 'soul' you can see in amanda/sam's eyes? when they say that the eyes are the windows to the soul, they must have been talking about amanda.

i think she's prob been preparing herself for this loss since she found out her dad had cancer. yes, that issue was resolved, but the angst only changed to worrying about ever seeing him again when he became a tok'ra. i think there's been a part of sam that's been ready for this for years. not ready like, 'okay, i'm ready, you can croak now', but that she's been steeling herself with this for quite some time. and i agree with what others have said about the fall-out of jacob's death hitting her when she's least expecting it. poor sam.
sallySpoiler:plus I think she was just grateful she had the extra time with him. Extending his life allowed her to grow closer to her Dad. At the end they had a very strong relationship. She probably broke down when she was by herself.Odo's last wishes: cremate me, put me in my bucket, then shoot me through the wormhole.

With all the discussions regarding Janet and Jacob over the past few days, I found myself compelled to made another collage. It's not quite what I had intended, but it's not too bad.

Originally posted by tsaxladyAt the Vancouver con several different people talked about Amanda bringing Olivia to the set a couple of weeks ago - they said that they were to start shoting the first episode that she will be in for the season before she is back so they will do like they have done the last couple of seasons with RDA and use her stand-in to start filming and then when she is back they will do her scenes. I did hear that Thomasina Gibson was in town to do some work and was staying with Amanda so maybe she will do an article on her soon.
