Actually, it's short for Sususudio. Where do you think Phil Collins got the name from?

Probably very behind the times and shame on me for not knowing this, but has there ever been a huge Stargate convention in Australia?

Although, something's nudging me to try your screen name at least once during the event.

that better or worse than 'tits?' my online friends call me titi with long i's or titta, but my best friends son, then aged 4, did run right across the concourse at DIA yelling 'tits' over and over at the top of his voice a couple of years ago.

Spoiler:

Well...if she hasn't put a form of address down then it is kinda her own fault...which doesn't stop her being annoyed. I don't find Miss, Ms or Mrs offensive at all and it could be that she just doesn't like forms of address...given the chance I just ditch the Ms/Mrs/Miss. I just think they create fuss and who really needs their marital status proudly displayed in front of their name?

though it has led to some funny mixups..my phone company has me down on their records as 'Mr'

and I've not corrected them.

Now if I had a decent form of address I'd go with that one 'actually, it's colonel not Ms'

For me, since my username is ridiculously long, JT4L is an abreviation that most people use, or my real name Kate will do fine.

I shoulda picked a shorter username....

Mary-Jane, lemme just say that i love your sig!!!!

Good night Samandas! I still have school work to do before I turn in, so see you all later!!!

Oh,

It may have offended her, but its more likely she'll think I haven't done my homework properly. Though how I'm meant to find out this info without badgering people who have better things to do is unknown. It is a little bit ridiculous at times, isn't it?

Personally I'd like to be Mistress ______ once I have a few more years, as I already am to several of my friends

However there are the inneundo-related connotations, which in a professional capacity might be a hinderance...well, most professions anyway...

chances are the -- and ... all were stripped too. Because those are 'fancy' characters that everyone uses.

this move by ff.net has probably frakked up 90%of the fic.

I'm not going to fix mine. I just don't have that much time.

I didn't even realize you had fics at FF.N. I stumbled Emerald City years ago, so now it's in my regular 'fic crawl' rotation.

I mostly read S/J shipper fics, but you're on the short list of the writers I seek out when I want something a little more astringent.

Don't let the turkeys get you down.

A sign huh? Well if the airfare rate is still there by next week then I'll definitely take it as a sign and grab it up quick. The randomness of it is right up my alley but I need to muddle through some finances to see if I could actually justify the expense of it all first.

Lovely! Thank you for sharing them!

I dunno about preferences as that's a personal issue, but if I'm not mistaken the general rule when your in doubt is to just use the Ms. like you did. It's a safe way to address a female when you don't know their martial status.

...and I'm out the door. Gotta nother date. whee!

No, I'm very attached to it and it is something of a conversation piece.

LOL. Verrrry long and convoluted story involving sibling fights between Becky and No.1 son,... and gerbils....

I'm not going to spend a ton of time on their site just so that they can rack up more ad views (i don't even like reading fic there because of all the OTT and pushy ads that hijack your browser)

I'm contemplating just taking all my fic down and abandoning them

their tool works great for the person that writes really short stuff, but i usually upload 10+ pages at a time....which will take forever to go in and reformat.

I may end up comingup with some sort of scene break that uses letters that they can't mess with.

I'd be happy if no one put their SG fic on fanfiction.net. I hate trying to read fics on there, especially if they are more than one chapter. If you can't read the entire thing at once, you can't keep track of where you left off. I like to download fics and read them at my leisure. I'm a big fan of the authors that post text files of their fics.

According to a post by Prion in the News thread Season 4 of Atlantis will be available in Canada and the U.S. July 8th (sorry, no word on other places).

Highlights for AT/

fans:

Disc 1 has a special feature titled "A New Leader: Amanda Tapping Joins Atlantis".

Disc 2 features a commentary by AT with Martin Wood and Alan McCullough for Tabula Rasa. It is also supposed to feature the bloopers but there may be a problem with the blooper special according to Joe's recent blog.

Disc 4 has a commentary on Quarantine by AT and MW. Amanda also does the commentary on Trio with Martin Gero, MW and Jewel Staite (how much fun will that be!). There is also a feature on the making of Trio.

Disc 5 will feature the deleted scenes

Spoiler:

I can hardly wait!

WOO HOO! Three commentaries by AT. And deleted scenes.

same here. I generally don't read fic off ff.net if they're long. I look for them elsewhere or give them a pass.

fic with dozens of chapters are near impossible to read

Yeah, I think I'll own SGA S4. It's a good think I stopped being completist years ago. SG-1 S1-S8, and SGA s4. Maybe I'll own the SGA S1-S3 one day, but not for more than US$20 a pop.
