Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

It wasn't ?


You can't imagine how relieved I am not to be a shipper.

No, sadly. I've probably read several that are worse. But not being a shipper will do nothing to protect you, as the worst fics I've read haven't necessarily been ship fics. (Shippers do read other kinds of fic, you know. ) Actually, consider yourself relieved if you're not a CSI fan, as I've found far, far, far worse fics in CSI than I've ever seen in the Stargate fandom.

Maybe the best is to stay away from the fics, wait for a friend who has the same tastes than you and use him/her as a guinea pig. It would be heaven to read only the good fics.

It's weird to think that far out, eh? You should probably buy a helmet of some kind!

How much longer before the Vancouver Convention?! Kat? Where's your countdown?

Nine days before I fly to Vancouver -

Cripes, I just made myself someone's PET!! I thought penguins were another name for shippers! DUH ...

Could you please identify yourself and the other shippers in this pic

LOL! The shipper penguins are not pets, but weapons of war against the boys at Bridge. There's a wee explanation at the top of this page.

Completely confused Canadian here
You mean there's a difference btw Great Britain, United Kingdom and British Isles

Great Britain: England, Scotland, Wales
United Kingdom (of Great Britain and Northern Ireland): England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
British Isles: England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Guernsey and all other random islands...!

As for penguins, I think Lys now uses it to refer to Shippers too. Penguins are quite accurate seeing as they are kinda related to the first ever ship in Antarctica.

Sat down to eat dinner with my houseguest, Alex, and she had flicked on the TV to Stargate, saying.... "Woah! Stargate! Cool!" Best houseguest ever!

M best bet would be to let go of the compulsion to read every fic I ever start. I don't think I'm doing very well on that score.

And to get this back on topic: Sam fic recs, anyone?

[Uber]

See, the only thing I can say is good about Jack being gone is that we're not subjected to the whole ship thing. If it comes back, I would hope they are together-end of story--no soapy angst. I think that's my biggest concession to the shippers yet. Maybe you guys are a bad influence on me.

That's just so...so...DANG SWEET.

/me dissolves in shippy lurve

*sniffle*

See??? Now I'm gettin' all weepy on you...I'm practically SPEECHLESS!

But only practically speechless. I am ME after all.

Have you checked out Strix's site, she has a large list of Sam whumping fics on it

[Tracy Jane]

You know what? My guest told me to have fun with the Samandans and get some fic writing done.... I tried to protest, but she wouldn't have it! And she made me dinner, washed up and bought me wine! Slightly tipsy Tracy now!

So do we now refer to you as STTJ

What a great friend! Or maybe she's trying to distract you to steal one of your Stargate DVD's!

[SG1Poz]

And I used think penguins were cute. Thanks for yanking me back from the precipice.

On the fanfic topic. Why do many authors write Sam as having suffered domestic abuse with Jonas & in other relationships? Sam says in First Commandment that Jonas "liked control" but I don't see that as necessarily meaning he hit her. I think it would have had to be more subtle than that for Sam to put up with it for any length of time. My view of Sam is that she'd have walked out the first time he hit her, but that she gave back the ring before he got to that stage. She may be a bit uncertain in her love life, but not to that point.

Do you know that one of our newest GW members signed in today as Penquin? I kid you not!

Can I borrow your guest for a couple of days?
