The auction was held at the end of the day on Saturday. That's a whole other post. Oh, but I noted down that the last line of Redemption pt 1 is an RDA ad lib.

I do really badly on Sanctuary episode titles, btw. Feel free to let me know in comments.

( Q&A session 4 )

Then we got to see Sanctuary S3 bloopers, on condition that no one took photos / video. OMG, you guys. *sporfles*

.

Okay, I'm basically going to type up my notes from the Q&A sessions of the con, for the time being, so I can get it all down while I remember what she said. I'll try to write a more amorphous, feelings-y post later. Oh, and I have a metric ton of photos to process into postable form.

There were four Q&A sessions; these are my notes from sessions one and two, on Saturday morning and afternoon.

( Q&A session 2 – spoilers for Unending, Sanctuary S3 )

Then Bob the Builder arrived (don't ask me, I've got no idea), and the session ended.

END.

Writing Sam POV often means I need to go in search of some proper scientific words for things, which is a bit frustrating when I find it hard enough to remember ordinary words - when called upon to verbalise 'fridge', for example, my brain is likely to seize up and go, "Um, that thing, large, white, keeps stuff cool, sits in the kitchen... You know. The thing." This is why I prefer to write rather than speak, because at least with writing I can stop and think about it without people getting impatient and completing my sentences with entirely the wrong words.

But I digress.

What I mean to say is, I have a new favourite scientific phrase (just ousting Quantum foam), which I intend to wedge into a fic if I possibly can: the Airy wave theory, so called because it was first published by George Biddell Airy, and it's about waves.

Awesome.

I still haven't found what I'm looking for, though. What do you call the something-or-other just before a moving object? The... air displacement, water displacement, the warning shivers before a full earthquake, the tiny sliver of air pushed out in front of a car or a plane, the crinkles on the surface of a blob of jam when you push it with a finger to test if it's set and you can stop boiling it...

You know. The thing.

Can you believe it's been three weeks since Spam Me With Your Favourite Teal'c Moment Thursday? And six weeks since Spam Me With Your Favourite Daniel Quote Thursday? I can't. How time does fly. Jeepers.

For aurora_novarum, who requested Sam and Daniel, and also happened to request one of my all-time favourite rooms in the museum, the Mexican gallery (room 27). It's full of Mayan, Aztec etc stuff. I went there when I was a kid, and it made a huge impression on me. It's beautiful, but very sinister at the same time. My favourites are all the turquoise mosaic things, but what inspired this ficlet was a frankly terrifying ceremonial jade perforator.

Well, whilst I deal with the disappointment of it being too late to cook bread and butter pudding, and consoling myself with ice-cream and hot fudge sauce, I'll pass on the good news. vickyocean  has created something positive to counter some of the negative feelings about Sam in Atlantis out there, floating around in the psychic ether:

sam_carter_sga, for discussion, fanfic and fan art.

And carter_sheppard, for those interested in potential shippage between Sam and John Sheppard.

Vicky was also asking for suggestions, questions and ideas for the comms, as they're works in progress. Go! Play! Glee about Sam! I'm going to miss out, as I won't get to see Atlantis for ages (bah, humbug).

ETA: Meep! Thank you to whoever nominated Out Go The Lights and Peanut M&Ms for the Stargate Fan Awards!
