Sam Carter /Jack O'Neill Ship Appreciation Thread 2.0
You are right, I've been lurking in a lot of other threads in the forum and the tone in some of them is really harsh. What I love about this thread and the people posting here, is that even if we don't agree on everything, there is such a amicable and lovely atmosphere. So I agree with everything you said!
:::sigh::: I miss hangin' with the GW Family. A teeny update inside:
Spoiler:
On the good news side, I have a proposal defense date. For those unfamiliar with the process, when you're getting a doctorate you are a "doctoral student" until you pass your proposal defense (which is your official formal proposal for your dissertation - it sets benchmarks to hit so that in the end you can check them off and your committee can't keep changing the goal line). After you pass, you become a "doctoral candidate," which in academic circles is kind of a semi-big deal. Then I have a year of research, analysis, and writing-up-of data ahead of me (and classes) beyond the full (21 unit) load that I am teaching.
My Chair says I'm still on track for a May, 2012 graduation to become "Dr. Pol." Woohoo! Then I'm calling Sam, and we're goin' out to dinner!
On the non-personal and wholly Stargate-related side, I am working on two things:
New Campfire is in the works. As you know, we're in Season 4, the "ultra-shippy bits;" thus conversely, the Campfires are harder to write.
A longer, "epic" Stargate story that is pretty much outlined and ready to get rolling on the "writing-bits" part of it.
Okay, done checking in...off to teach for the afternoon.

Congrats Pol!
Can't wait to read those stories
I think I might make some gifs to celebrate WoO day
Thanks for the suggestions, but in the end I chose a song that I had in my mind, though it's not really an original choice! But I hadn't much time to make the vidlet (render in progress), especially cos I still have to finish my Valenship vid and next week I'll be in London for AT5.
But S/J deserved a vid for the Hugging contest!!!
hey Pol, Couldn't open your spoiler....hope the news was good. Looking forward to the new Campfire, got the marshmallows waiting Hope your classes went well!
Oh and so we don't forget, why we are here,
Jack and Sam forever!
