Presenting:
The Intergalactic Space Hussies Need Fic, Too Challenge
Do you like Sam Carter? Are you frequently disturbed to hear people describe her as "too perfect", "Mary Sue", "boring", "badly-written", "one-dimensional", etc? Do you find yourself going out of your way to avoid fic that says, "I really think this is how they should have dealt with Sam's stupidity in X"? Or, conversely, mocking the hell out of it?
Do you find generalizations irritating?
Ok. Maybe not that last bit.
Well, if you're anything like me, you appreciate that Sam is a human being, that she isn't perfect, that she makes mistakes. And you still love her as a character and crave fic about her that ISN'T all about who she's fucking/dating/getting married to/is married to.
Not that that isn't one aspect of her character, but it's not the only defining one.
C'mon, this is a woman who's been tortured, who's had a tok'ra symbiote, who's blown up a sun (with help), who is currently in charge of the premiere SG team, and solved theoretical equations that no one will ever see because they're classified.
She's cool, she's fab, she's multi-dimensional!
So. This is what I want from you, dear writers. I want Sam Carter fic. You can write about any era. Captain, Major, Colonel, General. It can be AU, it can be so out there that it doesn't resemble canon (though near-canon is preferred). It can be long, short, multi-chaptered, anything.
Plus, well, I just want to piss off the anti-Sam contingent with lots of Sam.
Please help?
ETA: Also, if you like Sam, there IS a list devoted to her:
