I watched some SG-1 season six when my daughter was a baby, because that's the season that was airing at the time, and I liked it but wasn't crazy about it. Then I went back to work, and we stopped getting cable because nobody ever had time to watch it, so.... Then I totally loved Sam in season four of SGA!

So have you seen all of SG-1 yet or SGA? Your fic is fantastic so I have to assume you've seen it all by now!

Oh thank you! *hearts*

I've seen all of SGA. I'm still working on a couple of seasons of SG-1. I haven't seen all of 9, 10, and 5 yet because those are the seasons we bought on DVD last. On 9, 10, and 5 I've seen some episodes but not most. And I've seen Continuum.

And, thanks, Sharon. I appreciate it. I don't normally respond to slams in my reviews, but for some reason, this one rubbed me the wrong way. Of course, then it also prompted a "delusional" "fantasy" fic idea in which Jack is going over personnel reviews and runs across a review by a former CO. This is set somewhere in Season 2-5, haven't decided.

Someone he knows well. He brings it up to Sam and isn't satisfied with her "I'm a good officer" style response, so he then addresses it with the former CO.

Crap. Now I have to write that, don't I?

Maybe it'll be a new Campfire.

The fanfic cliche that always makes me roll my eyes is anything remotely like "He let out a breath he didn't know he was holding.". Thing is, I've used it, loads of excellent authors use it all the time and there's nothing wrong with it, per se. It just makes me smile when I see it.

So true! :O When I use it, I'm always telling myself, "Couldn't you find something better?" and most of the time, the shocking answer is... no. XD

I had only seen a few episodes of SG-1 years ago, but I was an SGA fan and loved Sam -- so a friend of mine said "You have to watch Solitudes. It's got everything! How can you go wrong with hurt/comfort and huddling together for warmth? And it's totally your thing, the female eromenos to the nth degree!" She was right. Solitudes hooked me!

I think Solitudes is the one that hooked me too. From that ep, I started looking for the ship more seriously - had been looksing a little from the first briefing scene, but not that much. Then, I got caught up in the general storyline too, and finally loved SG for everything it is. <3

My husband had been watching for a while, and I'd been peeking in every once in a while. But it wasn't until he made me sit down and watch "Window of Opportunity" that I was irrevocably hooked.

So, when I started watching the series all over again, I watched it looking for the ship. For me, it's not a distraction, it makes it more humanistic.

Couldn't agree more.

Sam and Jack were - still are - a very well-written pairing. I think their relationship added something to the storyline of the show. They are a integral part of the show. I can't imagine SG1 without them. So, as Aka said, they are not a distraction to me either.
(IMHO, of course!)

I wrote this story last spring when I saw Continuum but I haven't posted it publicly before now. When I watched Continuum my heart broke for Sam, and so I started thinking of ways the indomitable Carter might try to fix it, of a glimmer of hope for her. This and its sequels were the result.

Warning for canonical character death in Continuum! You know who!

The pic that prompted the first scene in the Campfire.

And later caps from the ep

Definitely a different take on what may have happened to Sam in that AU. Can't say I agree with her going to Shepherd for comfort, or talking to him about Jack so much. (she's notoriously tight-lipped especially when it comes to her feelings for Jack) but it was an interesting read nonetheless

You said there were sequels?

And - you're not missing much good with season's 9 and 10 of SG-1

Sam is so messed up, and she's lost everything. And can't even talk to Daniel or Cam. Utter nadir. John is at least a friend, and therein is an idea. Because John has the ATA gene. Not much point in trying to figure out something she and Daniel and Cam can't do without Jack, but if she has someone else with the ATA gene....

There are sequels. I'm going to clean them up and post them. The next one is Continuum AU Jack's story, called Black Ops. I'll try to find time to get that one done tomorrow. I'm glad you liked it!
