Daniel Jackson/Vala Mal Doran Ship/Discussion/Appreciation Thread
Wondering why it's so quiet. Then I noticed that LC and sg1cat are replying to the thread. They must be having multi-quoting fun because I think they've been at it for like 30 minutes.
Have noooooo idea, there are lots of elevators. There's the one at the end of one hall. There's the one in Morpheus that Vala gets into after chewing out the psychiatrist. There's the one in I-don't-know-which-ep where Cam and Daniel come out and it would have been innocent had it not been for Daniel's nervous backwards glance to Mitchell I'll tell you what I tell Erin, creative licenses Nobody's gonna call ya on it, I promise
hehehe...worth asking. In case ya hadn't noticed from my fic, I'm a stickler for detail!
And, may I ask if you have an easier nickname for us to call you? Not that sg1cat is long, it's just that the number disrupts the flow of my typing (I've mentioned that I'm lazy, right? ) Anyhoo, just wondering if there was something you'd like to be called like, ooh, just thought of something, you wanna be Darryl? (dragon!Darryl, not Bounty!Darryl)
From one newbie to another, just wanted to tell ya it's a great place. The ladies here are really nice (even that scottish one who keeps pickin' on me! )
to say thank you to whoever recommended a fic two days ago. I don't have time to read through all the pages, but it was called the Discovery and I loved it! I especially loved that it had D/V and S/J and that they were engaged!
Wow! Thanks much, vball. Glad you enjoyed the fic so much. It means a lot to hear such kind words from my readers.
I hope sg1cat doesn't mind that we named him. He might have a name he likes already, and then we'll all be confused. (although, I must say, it is a pretty clever name - Go Vala!)
*Looks around, confused* wait a minute...named?!? When did this become final?? Last post I saw, I was asked, and I was gonna think about it, but, but, but...*sputters, then sighs*...oh, who am I kidding? I like the name, it works for me.
yea, you're not the only one who feels that way. Grad school doesn't leave a lot of time for friends. BTW, please call me Danielle. I loved the way Daniel and Vala blantly flirted with each other. They're so cute!
Sg1cat - are you going to update soon? Really soon? Pretty Pretty please??
hehehe...very soon, I hope (by some people's definitions, anyway...*coughs, raising an eyebrow at Isabel...* )
I plan to publish chapter 19 this weekend. I've already got over 8,000 words written, but I'm only about halfway done. Sadly, today was a bust (RL issues... )
*Comes running up, finally catches up with the crowd. Slapping the "submit reply" button, he collapses into a heap, gasping out, "Not anymore," *as he heaves out his breath in heavy gulps*
...btw, did you know the board limits us to 20 images in a post? That includes emoticons, apparently...
Did you know that you guys are COMPLETELY INSANE?lol
I didn't even try to catch up tonight!
Anyway...loved the last couple of "Noir" Isa....so what two more or three?...and please, please, please tell us this ends well????????? I gotta horrible feeling........
Erin...Chap 5 of "Kansas" was great! Oh that PWP with the cheerleader thing sounds...well...I won't veto any PWP but how you're going to make Vala aware of 'cheerleading' is gonna be interesting. Is this the series that keeps implying about the Princess Leia thing on his birthday?...if so, then you definitely have to do that...I mean we all know and love the similiarities between D/V and H/L so doing the PWP for that is a must.
sg1cat...may we have a conversation about a guy writing a guy's POV?. I've been enjoying 'Discovery' very much and may I say that I'm always impressed by how much thought you've put into the logistics etc. of the 'mission'. And the 'ship' stuff between D/V has been well done too...and until I found out that the writer(you) was a guy, the way a lot of things that were happening was described seemed pretty usual coming from a girl writing a guy's POV(wow and I thought I had moved past my convoluted writing of a few days ago) but I gotta ask...as guy....can you say that Daniels' sharing a bed with Vala and not having some sort of obvious physical reaction to her presence is likely??????? I know that comes across as a really weird question but it struck me several times while reading the parts after they got back from the mission and they were sharing a bed that he's coming across as a eunuch....with nothing except an emotional response to her.
Now maybe I'm just weird(which I've always suspected anyway, so if you actually think I am, just say so) or perverted(which I'm pretty sure of) but I'd like to think that he hasn't become so deeply immersed in his scholarly life that he doesn't experience physical reactions anymore.
Were you leaving that out on purpose because you didn't think it was something that needed to be mentioned or did you just not notice because the reaction is so natural for you that it didn't occur to you to mention it?
Oh I'm done rambling(perverted and not)for tonight. Actually gonna do some keying on my own WIP.

Well, it took you a while to reply, and some of these girls are fanatical (not me, of course) But, really, honestly, you're ok with it? Cuz I'm lazy, but Darryl just kinda fits. Picture Vala saying it. Isn't it cute?
cheerleader outfit and role-playing?? *raises an eyebrow as his imagination starts to run away* Hrm....what's this all about then?
Oh, um...*clears throat* I've got a series of PWP (plot, what plot?) DV fics about role-playing and outfits and such. One's called "The Goddess and Her Lotar" and the other (so far) is called "Daisy Duke and Tex" (can you picture 'em?) Anyhoo, I now have a few other ideas floating around in my head like a Princess and Her Knight fic and now a cheerleader/jock fic. *realizes she's talkin' to a guy about this and blushes profusely*

I think that happened to me yesterday. It was ridiculous. I actually thought of your <board error> witicism.

Um, yeah, I did bring that up in Daisy/Tex, didn't I? Maybe I could do a prequel story, what happened on his birthday. I'll see if I can figure it out

Very good points, and I'm not surprised by any of them. First, I need to clarify what I wrote a little. Obviously, you're talking about chapter 13 and 14, primarily. Here's the deal.
It's quite the opposite of what you perceived. Daniel did have the natural male reaction to Vala's nearness (not only in bed, but in a few other occasions). However, I've been running with a "Teen" rating on Fanfiction.net, because I wanted my story to appear on everyone's default filter. (If you set your story to Mature, it does not appear - the default filter is K->T).
So, I had to be very discrete when I wrote about the physical aspects of them being in bed together, so no one would complain that I wrote beyond the given maturity rating. For example, take particular note in c13 of where Vala's leg was described relative to Daniel and how he reacted to her moving her leg there.
You really do need to read between the lines.
I hope that answered your issue, if not, please don't hesitate to post further questions, I'll be glad to speak to no end about it!
Let me ask you a question - did you have an issue with the believability of him going to bed with her, yet not having sex? If so, I can speak to that too...
Oh, and as to your comment about perversion? Don't sweat it...I doubt anyone thinks your perverted, I certainly don't. Besides, I'd probably be a hypocrite to call you that, particularly since I'm taking The Discovery to a Mature rating in a few chapters...!

Yay for Mature! umm I mean....(quietly leaves thread so people don't think she's weird)
sigpicsig by starlover1990 Thanks!
I ship Sam/Jack because "always" is a very long time and he'll "always" be there for her. Sam/Jack-John/Teyla-Booth/Brennan

Only thing, we may want to use spolier tags, don't think everyone reading this thread has necessarily read the whole of The Discovery yet...
heavy spolier warning for The Discovery...

Thanks!

Couldn't help spoilering myself...And now I have to read this story!! Maybe we (and by we I mean you, LC, and I) can get him to post on alldanielfic.com, then he doesn't have to worry about going over a teen rating. What do you think, LC? Think we could persuade him? We could bring out the handcuffs He already said he didn't think we were perverted or anything (hope this doesn't change his opinion )
~Erin
EDIT: Don't worry, Danielle, nobody's weird here Except the insane ones!
Well, it took you a while to reply, and some of these girls are fanatical (not me, of course) But, really, honestly, you're ok with it? Cuz I'm lazy, but Darryl just kinda fits.
Honestly, I'm very fine with it. Darryl is a cool name, I rather like it and the fact you picked it.
Oh, um...*clears throat* I've got a series of PWP (plot, what plot?) DV fics about role-playing and outfits and such.

HEHehehehe...Would you blush more to know now I'm probably going to go and read all those fics?

I think I already posted the first few chapters of my story there, but I gave it up because I found the interface annoying, compared to FF.net. I like the ability to upload the fic as a Word doc, I do all my writing in word processors. I could probably be convinced to go back to it, tho...

Hey all. I am back for just a bit. I see I missed Isa, too bad because I brought Kev with me.
Kev: So where is this vixon at?
Wendy: Sorry my evil sweetie, but I think she has already gone. Kev: Bummer, there were so many things I wanted to show her in my lair.
Wendy: *smiles* I know. *gives a kiss* Maybe tomorrow. Kev: Okay, I should be around.

Oh, Erin, that reminds me - did my straight jacket with The Dark Side of the Oven logo come in yet?
See, I find FFN annoying because of the rulerbars and everything. Copying and pasting into LJ and alldaniel is much simpler for me, well LJ is the simplest and there's no rating-restrictions on there either.
*winking back*
Right, the straight jacket. Tomorrow or the next day, sweetie. Patience is a virture (that none of the Fic-Cheerleaders have, by the way) (((hugs cheerleaders)))
