Watching Crash and Burn now.... Oh, I love that Savage Garden Song. Isn't it a perfect D/V song? Such great lyrics.

Crash and Burn

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door
And you feel that you can't take anymore

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face the day

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

Because there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breathe again

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

Edit: oh Amanda, I'm going to go check out your YT page...and videos. I see you are having trouble with YT like so many of us. They muted one of my videos but I found out how to get the audio back. So glad it has music now. You thinking about a D/V video in your future?

Edit: Girl... you like country music. I love that Reba song you use. Who is that singing the duet with her? Do you like all the Rascall Flatts stargate Videos? There are some great ones for D/V.

Edit: Listening to Crash and Burn again..... Lalalalal... I love this one.

Go here to fix the audio stripping. It worked for my Video Vala's Dilemma. I had used a Faith Hill song.

sweet! thanks i will definitely be checking that out!

Did you see the questions CB answered on her fansite? One of them was about D/V, and she also talked about her out-of-work relationships with Ben Browder and Michael Shanks' families. Here's the quote that relates to our ship:

"You have a good point.I could never see Daniel and Vala getting together because she always played far too many games. Your observation is interesting because Michael and I specifically went to Robert Cooper the EP and said basically that it was a surprise to us that they were going to be together and that if they were to be , it had to be justified; both of them were going to have to really clear away all the nonsense and facades and get very real. I think the original draft had Daniel quite softly confessing his affections to her and we both thought he would be very frustrated and that out of this frustration and anger, Vala would finally see the effect she was having on him and drop the game."

LC and I are checking it out now. There are lots of questions answered and it looks like lots to go.

Aww, there's so many nice compliments in that last post, thanks so much!

LC and I are checking it out now. There are lots of questions answered and it looks like lots to go.

Oooh! That's awesome! I asked her a question on there, and even though it wasn't the most..."creative" one, I'm so happy she answered!

That's where we found out that BW didn't even ask CB to be in the movie! That's so evil! ><

Well that's sort of depressing but i have a belief that if it can happen once it can happen again *thinks positive*

[MerryK]

1. Nickname?

Just Merry.

2. Tell your favorite D/V moment.

The hug after she's brought back to life in Avalon Pt. 2

3. Are you into any Fan art.... videos.... fic.... icons.... sign... art.. other?

I love watching videos, but the only thing I make is fic.

4. List The person on the list you have know the longest.

Shoot, I don't know...I lurked here for a while before joining, but most people were already there.

5. Who are the people on the list that you talk to away from GW..

I just know people on LJ.

6. List a rec..... A Vid, Fic etc....

A fic: Honor Amongst Thieves by Cleo the Muse
And a vid: You Found Me by MilenaDaniels

7. Other ideas.

With that only-slightly-enthusiastic support from CB, maybe we could have a postathon with fic about Vala being honest with Daniel, or post our favorite pictures from honest or open moments they had on the show.

Oh, and this is very cool, Susan. Great idea!

[LC_]

Let's get to know the Fruitcakes.

1. Add a nickname by your name if you want one.
2. Tell your favorite D/V moment.
3. Are you into any Fan art.... videos.... fic.... icons.... sign... art.. other?
4. List The person on the list you have known the longest.
5. Who are the people on the list that you talk to away from GW.
6. List a rec..... A Vid, Fic etc....
7. Other ideas.

1. Add a nickname by your name if you want one.
Uhh...LC is my nickname('nom de plume'(that's pen name btw)actually and that's what I'll stay with.


2. Tell your favorite D/V moment.
Ya know, I don't think I can pick one...hmm...not 'just' the kiss in Unending, but specifically Daniel's 'you better not be messin' with me' and the expression on his face and in his voice...a real tribute and example of Michael's 'chops' that he could express in his face and voice three emotions...fear, hope and want. Amazing talent.

3. Are you into any Fan art.... videos.... fic.... icons.... sign... art.. other?
I do fic...and that's all the interests me too.

4. List The person on the list you have known the longest.
Hmm....the ones that I've known the longest have deserted the Oven for shiny new 'ships'...and I see almost none of them have made it to this particular list anyway..those that have are:
Susan, Rac80, Toomi, Tonttu, poundpuppy, and anybody else that was posting here during the crazy days of 'allnighters' that resulted in 4-5 pages of postings during the UK 'first-run' airing of S10.

5. Who are the people on the list that you talk to away from GW.
Easier I think, lol...Susan, Magnecite, sg-daniel, Natalie...oh and Merry who is my current beta for 'Best'.

6. List a rec..... A Vid, Fic etc....
Believe it or not I can't answer this.
I don't normally take the time to watch vids...so ya'll would have a better idea than I would.
And fics?...I'm really fussy...and right now there's almost nothing out there of high enough quality that I would consider worth recommending. And the few that are you guys already know about.

7. Other ideas.
Other ideas for what?...how to revive this dying 'ship?...how' bout we kidnap TPTB writers and get writers that actually understand how this 'ship' has been so convincingly created and are willing to continue to let DV realistically exist inside the movie storylines.

(which leads me, quite nicely into the following

Did you see the questions CB answered on her fansite? One of them was about D/V, and she also talked about her out-of-work relationships with Ben Browder and Michael Shanks' families. Here's the quote that relates to our ship:

"You have a good point.I could never see Daniel and Vala getting together because she always played far too many games. Your observation is interesting because Michael and I specifically went to Robert Cooper the EP and said basically that it was a surprise to us that they were going to be together and that if they were to be , it had to be justified; both of them were going to have to really clear away all the nonsense and facades and get very real. I think the original draft had Daniel quite softly confessing his affections to her and we both thought he would be very frustrated and that out of this frustration and anger, Vala would finally see the effect she was having on him and drop the game."

Which really does go to prove once and for all that the writers had no clue what a satisfying believable relationship they were creating or how to give it a believable resolution. It was only thanks to the amazing talents of MS and CB that we got the subtle progression to 'Unending'..and even then I think the majority of the credit goes to CB...she's the one who pushed for Vala to be more than comic relief. The only credit the TPTB gets is for being willing to listen to the actors opinions...altho to be fair I think that is pretty unusual...I get the impression that on a lot of shows, the writers don't let the actors screw around with the way the script is written. So I guess we can be thankful for that.
And my opinion about future movies still stands...I can put up with Vala not being in the movies as long as it's never stated that she died or left the SGC or the script doesn't have Daniel making goo-goo eyes at some other chick.
