Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

[Gate gal]

Thanks for the birthday greetings! I tried to pass out some green, but I didn't get to hit everyone. (((Samandans)))

I've made a major decision about next season's SGA. I'm going to try to stay relatively spoiler free. I didn't catch a lot of SGA spoilers for second half of the season, and I read in depth reviews of SG1. I'm really enjoying SGA more at the moment (even though the SG1 episodes are much higher quality), so I'm going to behave next season (or try to behave) and just enjoy Sam's arrival in the Pegasus Galaxy. I'm not saying I'm not going to read any spoilers, but I'm going to try not to read many. I wonder how long I'll last with that resolution...Nope, I don't think I've got a chance either.

Night all! I'll try to poke my head in again soon.

Right, Amanda:
then cake, then assignment.

See you all later.

I see you have your priorities in the correct order

I was avoiding doing the things I really needed to be doing today and instead made a few Sam icons.

Nice icons. Personally, I'd prefer it if you would write some Sam Whump. Perhaps a sequel to Under Fire. ??? Please?????

not a male so i can't respond from that pov, but an erection is a bodily response. thus, i would presume, unless the male is truly repulsed by the female figure and unable to overcome it by 'closing his eyes and thinking of england' then he can complete the mechanical act even if he draws no real enjoyment from it

And don't forget that the notion of sexuality being something that you "are" rather than something that you "do" is a modern one. In the past it would not have seemed strange for a man who likes men to have children, and to have fun making them No man had to marry (except the very few securing royal/aristocratic dynasties), but even Oscar Wilde - thought of today as "a gay man" - married and fathered children. Sex was something you did, not your identity.

You'd have to be nuetered, not homosexual, to not be able to go for Helen

Yup. Or for Sam

So how about that Sam, huh?

Yeah I'd do her

They're lovely, Strix. I especially like one and four. Please avoid doing things again

[Spacegirlnz]

Amanda, Cake, Assignment. I see that uni has taught you to prioritise!

*nods*

I see you have your priorities in the correct order

I do believe they are I even managed to quote Amanda Tapping in my assignment, and "Stargate SG-1 True Science". I rule! It was about the Digital Revolution and I used examples of 12-Tet and the robots that are like replicators in my assignment. I'm so happy.

And now that I've finished I'm watching In the Line of Duty I wuv this episode.

Oh, Strix, I missed your post before, but I love your icons

[wibbling]

even Oscar Wilde - thought of today as "a gay man" - married and fathered children. Sex was something you did, not your identity.

And Oscar Wilde loved his wife and his children, and really regretted what hurt he caused them when he was jailed. He just couldn't resist the young men. Coincidentally he was born in 1854 just after Helen! (And the same year as my flat [apartment] was built as a primary school!)

Check out this new game Sam's ships

Doh! I love egg plant, avocado and squash! One of my favorite sandwiches are cucumbers, tomatoes, avocado and pepper jack cheese.

Replace the avocado with tuna and I'm in heaven!!!!

*has slightly wild eyes*
I just baked a chocolate cake! Now I'm waiting for it to finish baking and finishing of my beer. I found it in the fridge when I went for the milk. It's going to be a brilliant cake (there is no beer in it).

Did I mention it's 5am?

Tracy says I'm not weird but I think she's lying

You know my hubby did that one night...but his thing was he had taken some really strong pain meds and had some Drambuie...needless to say he was baking a cheese cake at midnight and couldn't sit still...it was funny coz he was like high for hours and he was singing away and yakkin to himself in the middle of the night while baking a flamin cheese cake...the cake turned out surprisingly well...off course poor hubby was so pooped by the time he came home from work the next

I said what now?

Must have ben distracted by this fic I'm writing

Victorian fashion for children is fascinating!

My kids used to wear old victorian style clothes when they were little...it was so cute...the petticoats and bloomers and suspenders and the elizabethan style collars...now it's black and tight and skimpy...I miss my babies!!!

Oooh TJ, I just noticed your new banner....very nice
(and it seems you really like that planet)

It was my location for years. I think it's time to head back to that planet *looks at location* And any planet where Sam Carter removes clothing is worth liking, right?

I agree with Mandy...that sig is great...they never did go into detail about that mission to that planet did they???...Pity!!

slightly OT, but i know there are some fanfic readers out here
announcing the premiere of Revelation V and Taking Flight II , two fanzines.
info behind the tag for those that aren't interested

Spoiler:

It's that time of the year again. Time for the great Zine premiere. For any that are interested in some true Gen or Ship stories for either SG1 or Atlantis, please follow the link to check out Revelation V &/or Taking Flight II.

http://sjhw.net/zine/index.html

Both are available for pre-order now. (Older issues are also available)

Thanks for the heads up Sky...gonna check it out later!!

Yes she really is very funny... a goofball...and that is also great.Cause aren't we all from time to time...it makes life so much nicer

I really love the beginning though...about Thor.

Hehehehe...you gotta love Thor...ad Amanda of course!!! Yay!!!!

Yes she did...I still remember an interview...on one of my dvd's where she said he was touching her bum and she hit him...and then said sorry...even though she knew it was a puppet. But because it is so well done, they sometimes forget he is a puppet

That was so cute...I remember that...must go look for that again!!

The Oh yay! was for my 1000th post

And I love, love, love the whole "The men cheered! The women fainted! The children waved multi-coloured flags!" I am constantly quoting it. One of my workmates was quite disappointed when she realised I was quoting someone because she had thought I was Just. That. Funny.

Congrats on the milestone Eileen!! Yay WTG!!!!!!

You ARE just that funny! And don't let anybody tell you otherwise!

Yep...I agree...you're a barrel of laughs sweetie!!

*sigh* Having logistical issues with my fanfic

Spoiler:

Issue #1: Based on spoilers, Helen was born in 1850 and historical fact shows John Druitt was born in 1857. It was usually seen as improper to have a wife older than yourself. Or girlfriend or whatever. Traditionally the man was the older party.

But Helen doesn't strike me as the traditional type. So I can live with that.

Issue #2: Based on timing and the rest of it, it would work out perfectly for Helen to train in Blackwell and Garrett Anderson's newly founded London School of Medicine for Women (founded in 1874). 24 year old Helen being a little like the black and white Ashley that Damian describes would be very interesting, I think. Plus being one of the first cohort would be fascinating.

However, I also really, really, really wanted John Druitt to meet Helen at medical school. Cheesy but a fun idea. But John, being younger, didn't finish his first degree in classics at Winchester College (yupp, he was a local boy. I can probably find him on my local records at the town hall!) until 1880. So that screws that up. John did his secondary education at Winchester boys then studied medicine at New College, Oxford, later doing a degree in classics at New College. After that, he trained as a barrister.

Issue #3: The London School of Medicine for Women offered many social events such as tennis, bowling, cricket and fencing. I think fencing would be perfect for Helen and this could also be an interesting meeting point for Helen and John. But the evidence of social activity comes from 1917. Does this mean that social activity didn't take place prior to that, or is it just that that particular photo comes from 1917. Dare I use a little poetic licence?

Issue #4: John was a prolific debater at university (I kid you not!). I would love to see John and Helen debating but I think that's problematic, given that even in today's debating culture, it is seen as a sport for conservative gentlemen of public school background (as a liberal female from a state school, I was pretty much the antithesis of what my society expected from a coach!).

Garrrrgh! Decisions, decisions!

All I can say is thank goodness it's you doing this and not me...good luck Tracy...I can't wait to read it when you're done!!!

Yeah, I think the fact that John Druitt being engaged to Helen is the first interesting difference, seeing as John was a homosexual.

What??? He was??? Holy Hannah...I need to do some research into that fella!!

not a male so i can't respond from that pov, but an erection is a bodily response. thus, i would presume, unless the male is truly repulsed by the female figure and unable to overcome it by 'closing his eyes and thinking of england' then he can complete the mechanical act even if he draws no real enjoyment from it

There is also the good old fashioned 'turkey baster' technique. And if these folks are doctors, they know the basics of rudimentary artificial insemination.

Ewwww...I really don't want to imagine Helen going that way....ewwwww!!!

Hi, I know I've been gone for awhile. Sorry for not saying goodbye, but I didn't realize that 40+ days would pass before I could pop in. Things have been crazy, but they have been good crazy. I'm loving the final episodes of SG1. Wow, TRNT was just excellent! They have all been great, but Amanda out did herself in that one! I'll try to read the past few pages, but I'll never catch up with over a month. I still won't be around much, but I'm going to try to stop in occasionally.

YAY...she returns!!! MICHELLE....where the heck you been girl????

I missed you so much...(((Michelle)))

You'd have to be nuetered, not homosexual, to not be able to go for Helen

RITGLMAO...holy hannah AD...lucky I wasn't drinking my coffee at the time I read this...

and i was going to tell her to just make it up.
fanfiction is supposed to be fun more than anything else, so i'd just go with 'cacking' it (?) and not making yourself go crazy with too much accuracy.

sally

True...but then where's the fun and challenge if you can't make it a little realistic heh???

You now how sometimes you imagine Amanda clicking the "Sam's a great character" tab on her bookmark bar () to see what we're up to, and think "Oh Dear" and bury your head in your arms?

This is one of those times.

If only....I somehow doubt she would say "oh dear"...I would like to think that Amanda would be RITGLHAO...hehehehehe!!!!

I was avoiding doing the things I really needed to be doing today and instead made a few Sam icons.

Amanda, Cake, Assignment. I see that uni has taught you to prioritise!

You wouldn't like to see how I prioritise my life...it's pitiful!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STARGATE BARBIE!

Ditto...from me too...happy birthday Stargate Barbie!!!

Sorry to be a total dipstick...what is Stargate SG1 true science???

Nighty night all...gonna make this a quickie...I need sleep...hubby had me up at the crack of dawn to take the truck to the mechanics...grrrrr!!
Couldn't help myself at work today....walked past a scrabble board set up for the residents so I put the word Stargate on it in the center...I doubt they would have any idea what it was but I did...anyhoo...night all, take care, be safe, stay happy and hug your loved ones!!!

And Oscar Wilde loved his wife and his children, and really regretted what hurt he caused them when he was jailed.

And she (his wife) stood by him. Even though, like many other married men who embark on affairs, he'd neglected them financially to spoil his bit on the side. What it shows is that they did care for each other and neither was vengeful.

He just couldn't resist the young men.

Just as some men can't resist young women.

Coincidentally he was born in 1854 just after Helen! (And the same year as my flat [apartment] was built as a primary school!)

Cool I am really curious now about the young Helen.
