In the same mimetic vein as the entry posted by fanfic author & friend lolmac Looking for Daniel in all the right places wherein she asks for advice from "ardent Jacksonians" about how to write Daniel, and what's good or bad in the way he's depicted in canon & in fanfic, I'm asking the Samantha-stans, Carter-istas, Sam-fanatics & Stargate fans on my F-List (anons, too!):

How do you write Sam Carter in character?

I've been STUCK on TWO fan fiction stories in which I can't resist writing from this amazing military astrophysicist's PoV, but am having major anxiety that I might get her wrong.

1. What is it about Sam that you love?
2. What makes you squee?
3. What do you most love to see her do?
4. What are the elements of a Sam story that you love the most?
5. What do you really like seeing her do in fic? On the show? Both?
6. What is the most epic of Sam WIN?
7. What annoys and pisses you off when you see it in fan fiction?
8. What are the stupid/shallow/careless misinterpretations of Sam that must be avoided?
9. What qualifies as Sam!Fail?
10. Any other pointers, tips, criticisms, & pet peeves also welcome!

"Beau reminded me a lot of Robert Picardo (Richard Woolsey) – both were very successful, incredibly experienced, and always made it a point to come by our offices to run prospective dialogue changes by us rather than simply surprising us in the dailies. Like Bob, Beau would always make the time to come up and see us to request even the tiniest of changes. Both of them were class acts and I have nothing but terrific memories of working with them." -- Joe Mallozzi 5 June 2011

Beau Bridges & Robert Picardo are AWESOME. Mad props & nothing but love love love to them and what they brought to the franchise.

LOL at "surprising us" with dialog changes in the dailies. Someone's using the Royal We.

SGU Continuation, Other Movies Dead — for now

Brad Wright's announcement today onstage at Creation Entertainment’s Official Stargate Convention in Vancouver that the Stargate SG-1, SGA, & SGU movies have been "permanently shelved" puts a brake on the "Save SGU" and "Greenlight the Stargate Movies" campaigns, but never say never, right? (Read more at Joe Mallozzi's WP blog.)

Who's to say SyFail might not consider REBOOTING the series with "younger, edgier versions" of the Team?

Imagine that Vala's a vampire -- a SPARKLY vampire -- who assists the Team (who are amateur wrestlers off-duty) in fighting Sharktopus & MegaSnake?

Or maybe FOX would be interested in picking up the series as an animated half-hour comedy, voiced by Ann Coulter as Sam Carter, Bill O'Reilly as Jack O'Neill, Rush Limbaugh as Teal'c, and Glenn Beck as Daniel Jackson?

No?

Perhaps it's more likely that FOX would prefer to reboot the series in a reality TV format, where 14 contestants are thrown onto a derelict Ancient ship heading toward the center of the known universe, fight to the death each week, so that the lone survivor wins a gold-plated Stargate in the mid-season finale?

What?

traycer_ has posted an awesome entry at fandom_grammar titled "What is the Difference Between Alternate Reality and Alternate Universe?"

Here's my Stargate-centric visual guide based on traycer_'s definitions, using screen grabs/production stills from the episodes/movies. I probably am missing some eps, namely because I haven't seen all of Seasons 3 thru 8 yet, so feel free to point me in the direction of any relevant episodes & screen grabs that you think should be included.
