Sam Carter /Jack O'Neill Ship Appreciation Thread 2.0

[leiasky]

Actually that brings me nicely to a random question that popped into my head the other day. What are Stargate fans called? Gaters?

Stargate fans.

All these amalgamations ( Sack? Jam? Really? Ugh) of names seem rather immature.

Joe F and Michael S had some very PC things to say about SGU this weekend. They don't seem to think there will be a third season.

Dan Shea talked a lot about 'Big Boy' during his panel. One of his little funnies, since he's known RDA since the MacGyver days, was that whenever he saw Rick, he always seemed to have another woman on his arm. Dan's stories are always quite funny.

Joe was the only one who mentioned the SGA movie. He is still rather interested in doing it but he hasn't heard anything about it happening for a while. He was concerned that next year will be the first years in 13+ years there could be no Stargate represented on tv.

Regarding SG Movie 3. Amanda Tapping just got done finishing wrapping up production on season 3. So if MGM gets this thing resolved quickly and gives the go ahead they could start production on it by sometime next year.

They haven't 'wrapped up' production on Sanctuary S3, they've merely finished shooting. There's still a heck of a lot of work for Amanda, Martin, Damian and Lee to do before they get any 'free' time

Hello everybody! So how's the Sam/Jack conversation going??
Oh and has anyone come up with a name (nickname) for this ship? *hint hint*

OT:

Spoiler:

From other shows: Like for Helen & Nikola (Sanctuary) the name is Teslen. For Tony & Ziva (NCIS) the name is Tiva.

Ugh. Please no. I hate "Celeb names" with a burning passion. I think it's demeaning to the characters and the relationship. I mean seriously. Jam? Sack? Jarter? Yuck. I'm glad that those names haven't caught on with Sam/Jack.

(JMHO of course. I don't mean anything against 'ships that do have these names.)

[trinity3]

Hey Shippers, just me lurking around.

Seriously?

Who doesn't? *sighs and crosses fingers*



You just made me SO happy right now. I had completly forgotten. It's an hour earlier! Yay!
I can hover aroung longer.

EDIT: How do you think Sam & Jack spends those mornings where thye have an hour more? *gutter thoughts*

Some days, like this,

I don't know how I missed the "let's come up with nicknames" thing but...oh please no.

That's, to me, the equivalent of hearing Jack call Sam, "sugarplum" or vice versa.

*shudder*

If we *must, we could just refer to them as the O'Neill's.

And in an effort to redeem myself somewhat, here's an utterly priceless team fic, found by Sky and posted on the Sam thread:

Brilliant - all thoughts of previous very scary fanfic now eliminated

All of the comments on the military life and adapting, etc. makes way more sense than that Jack simply gave up (which is the reason given in most fanfic I've read about him being on Edora).

Well yes I see that

I'm so damn confused right now it ain't even funny. I have no idea what the heck you guys are talking about.

Somebody ought to bring in Moebius and time travel and then we'd even more confused

OMG...say it ain't so...

Spoiler:

X-Files 3 movie? Really? And keep in mind that this expression of dismay comes from someone who worked on both the show and the first movie!

I'd much rather have my SG1-3 movie. Sigh.

And our effin' confirmation!

Keep hoping people

Don't forget to turn your clocks back tonight.

Hmm did that last week (sorry couldn't resist it ) Can you imagine being an hour early for work and stating the reason was because you were on a Sam & Jack shipper forum and somebody reminded you. Hah they think I'm obsessed as it is!!

Amen and amen. May it be Lord, may it be, always and forever.

Blog updated. Don't debate anything read there, here, please.

Er...

I brought that conversation up earlier, with one of my friends (spurred on by watching Back to the Future) and totally managed to confuse myself, let alone her!

(((Shippers)))

I came across something I think is really interesting, and I'm hoping that someone on this thread will have an idea who wrote it. It's a 2009 Master's Thesis by a student at the University of Pittsburgh on how participants in computer-mediated discourse (we forum posters) use textually described actions (TDA's) as a means of interacting and creating virtual identities. Examples of TDA's include:

huggles
~waves~
*blushes*
giggles
nods feverently

Her thesis studies the structure of TDA's and uses data from three online fan communities - including the Shipper Thread. It shows how the participants use these actions to construct a close community in which they can interact with emotional and (virtual) physical intimacy.

The author uses the Shipper Thread (along with two LiveJournal communities) for her primary data sources because they exhibit a range of interest by the fans and use similar formats. She goes into quite a bit of detail about the show, what "shipping" is and what Sam/Jack shippers hope to achieve. Cool, eh?

It must have been written by someone who was a regular on the Shipper Thread at some point. Do any of you recall anyone talking about using elements from the thread in her thesis? If so, I'd be interested in knowing who it might be.

In one part, she quotes something I posted - must have been several years ago:

(9) Sugarshaker waves to all the shippers


In this example the writer, Sugarshaker, includes a subject noun in the TDA, though she refers to
herself in the third person. Fans of heterosexual relationships between characters in the source
media call themselves shippers, from a shortening of relationship; they have turned the
shortened noun ship into a verb, and often talk about shipping a certain pairing.
The other three TDAs containing subjects are instances of the writer voicing someone
else. In this next example the writer is talking about rumors she has heard concerning Sam and
Jack’s relationship. She makes a play on ship as in relationship and ship as in boat.


(10) ...The ship is sailing! :-D I can see it coming in, with Sam and Jack
waving to their supporters! *jack grabs sam and kisses her
passionately, while the shippers squee from the shore*

Here's a link to the thesis. It's about 70 pages:

http://etd.library.pitt.edu/ETD/avai...9-MAthesis.pdf

A thesis isn't my normal reading material, but I thought this was really fascinating. I hope you enjoy it too.

I don't know who did this, but I have to say that I've been fascinated for a few years, now, at how smilies and other emoticons are used in place of body language in on-line communication. When I get out of my Nyquil-induced stupor, I'll have to go and read this. Thanks for the link!
