Thanks so much to everyone who's saying Happy Birthday! You know, so far 32 is amazingly similar to 31...but I digress...
I was giving thought earlier to how my interest in the show started and what made me a shipper and a Sam fan.
Initially I was drawn to the show because of RDA. The first ep I ever saw which was in syndication...In the Line of Duty...and the first FIRST RUN ep I ever saw on Showtime was Upgrades. So pretty much from the start of my SG-1 viewing experience, I was exposed to the shippy aspects of the show (although I'll confess now that while watching ITLOD, I had gotten a sense there was something between Daniel and Sam...but give me a break it was my first ep)...
So, RDA drew me to the show, the great story lines and the shippy undertones kept me watching...Now with RDA leaving *sob* I've glommed onto the remaining half of the ship, Sam, who I've come to really know and admire thanks ironically enough, to less and less RDA!
I'm still pulling for some sort of real, honest to goodness on screen acknowledgement of what I already know is true in my heart...that they complete each other and that there's no one else for either of them.
But until then, we have our imaginations...and while I'm working on my super secret ship project, I'll resurrect one from a while back...
"Of all the military bases in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine..."
"Here's lookin' at you, kid..."
Whoops...a friend reminded me about forum rules regarding manips...
So I beg birthday indulgences just this once...I mean, I'm getting up there in age now...so cut an aging shipper a little slack this one time...
...You're ALWAYS Welcome in Samanda: Amanda's Community of New Fans and Old Friends...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Uber! Hope you've had a sparkling day!
Aaah, *revels in the (above) image of Sam and Jack from Threads*
By the way, if anyone's interested in reading my stand-alone shippy fic, here's the link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2444417/1/ Okay, yes--I know that's an unbelievably shameless plug...
