Ah, SG-1, you bring all the wank to the yard.

[lyssie]

Seriously, folks. I don't care which side of the shipper divide you're on. 0 to wank in .6 seconds. Gotta be a new record.

*cackles*

Note to self: yelling Hitler in the middle of a debate makes you lose it.

However. It's still amusing.

Yelling Hitler? Like he was standing in the room about to explode or soemthing? That's very amusing.

Godwin's Law!!1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I had to invoke it! Really! There's only so much snark and wank the list can take!

*feels sorry for listmoms* (who will have to crack down on my snarky ass, most likely. Sigh)

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

BWAH!!

[ilanala]

Oh, SG-1 fandom. What's going on now?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

We, Sam/Jack shippers, are entitled to Confirmation that Our Ship Will Be In Season 9. Otherwise, we're being told "Fuck You"

...or something like that.

Their logic hurts.

[ilanala]

There's logic?

You know, it might be better that Jack will be gone next season just because it'll make it harder to have J/S vs. J/D wars. I'm sure people will still manage though, somehow...

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Oh, they'll manage. Between the anti-Daniel camp and the We Deserve Ship camp...

Those of us in the middle (or, y'know, the subversive ones who are all about the stupid!cute) will be eating popcorn. And jell-o.

[ilanala]

And those of us who are me will be hiding in a corner and pretending that the vast majority of fandom is just a bad dream.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Aww. No jell-o? It's red, and there's even cool whip to out on it. (or, if you'd prefer, we have pineapple upside-down cake)

[ilanala]

Well, when you put it that way, I guess I can hang around. As long as I don't have to actually talk to the scary people...

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

That works. *smooches and runs off*

[wiliqueen.livejournal.com]

No, no, no. The wacky minority of fandom is just a bad dream.

They're just loudloudloud and INTENSELY wacky enough to convince people otherwise.

:: stands firm in conviction ::

[rosewildeirish.livejournal.com]

*clings to the conviction omg*

[wiliqueen.livejournal.com]

I'm positive of it, actually. The only time I encounter, like, 98% of the wank is via reports like this one, from friends who are on the lists.

I think there has to be some kind of fan-wacko gravity or magnetism, whereby they tend to concentrate in one place. Which is convenient for the rest of it, since it makes them really quite easy to avoid. ;-)

[liminalliz.livejournal.com]

A softer argument of that is kinda correct though. Because if the ship isn't really confirmed or moderately discussed, then the writers of SG are just completely cruel teases who care more about the paycheck than the construction of their 8 seasons old characters. It's not a "fuck you" it's more of a "hrm... claudia black....boooooots."

The nice thing about the horrible things that happened to Mulder& Scully in XF is that they intensified the ship to insane levels. Kept me watching, I tell you. To the most bitterest of ends.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

I... see, I don't think we're entitled to anything. I mean, we don't write for the show, we don't pay for it, produce it, etc.

Yes, we watch it.

So what? If we don't watch it, either other people will or it will eventually get cancelled.

(this is why I hate the new trend in journalism. We're not here to bring about fucking world peace and social awareness, already)

There shouldn't be --shit. I've lost my train of thought. Damn you, red jell-o, damn you!

*mutters*

[liminalliz.livejournal.com]

We're not entitled to anything, yes; but they should keep up their writing integrity by not murdering character arcs. And they've admitted to SamJack as a character arc with Threads. So...

I agree that they shouldn't make it for us individually; but by making it for us as a massive group, they have to uphold some form of quality in their writing. And to me, part of that quality is staying true to character.

However...they do ignore very important character points that they've built in the past. Aaah whatevah.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

In theory, I agree that it'd be nice if they actually followed character arcs. But they... tend to not. Sadly.

*makes you watch Farscape*

[wiliqueen.livejournal.com]

It's not a "fuck you" it's more of a "hrm... claudia black....boooooots."

Or a "Didn't we DO that already??? :: scratch collective head ::"

Which is a wankerrific debate unto itself, I realize. But still.

Well, it doesn't have to be confirmed now, they've barely begun to shoot the season and it won't air till July or so BUT, if during the course of season 9, it looks like the ship is either reset or totally ignored then yes, cruel teases because they're the ones who keep bringing it back up instead of laying it to rest for good.

Godwin's Law on the samandjack list. I have now seen everything. :)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*smug*

(er. I should go empty the dishwasher now)

[morwen_peredhil]

There are people who actually care enough about Sam/Jack (vs. Jack/Daniel, I assume) that invoking Godwin's Law becomes necessary? Sheesh.

I thought I was an obsessive fan (not about any ship in SG-1, though), but clearly I'm bush league compared to some people. That makes me very happy.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Actually, I invoked it because the idiot who believes We Are Entitled To Sam and Jack With Babies actually dragged in another poster's LJ as proof that she was a troll.

And I had to laugh and mock her, or I would have said really nasty things about bringing someone's personal journal into a debate on a mailing list.... Really bad etiquette.

[morwen_peredhil]

Good for you, then. People can be such idiots!

[havocthecat]

Note to self: yelling Hitler in the middle of a debate makes you lose it.

Godwin's Law. Gotta love it.

So what's the wank about this time?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

"We are entitled to ship in season nine. *stamps foot*"

Basically. *g*

[antikythera.livejournal.com]

you bring all the wank to the yard.

I hope that won't hurt the garden.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Protein is good for plants, I think. (Harrison Chase?) ;)

[nakedtoes.livejournal.com]

It's beautiful to read. I can just see aliens using the thread as study material for their offspring. "Now dears, this is why we wiped out the human race."

OK, maybe not. *shrugs* Works in my head though.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*dies*

That so needs to be a bad fic....

[nakedtoes.livejournal.com]

*g* Feel free. You could even post it on the list and watch the hate mail come rolling in... *gets excited* That would probably be too much though, huh? ;)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*giggles*

Well, if they ever piss me off enough to leave permanently, that would be my final message... ;)

[nakedtoes.livejournal.com]

Can I do one? Please?

(Actually, I've already started, just for personal joy, so if you say no I'll have to go and cry somewhere. But it'd probably be a mercy to the world if you told me to hit my delete key :) )

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes you can. *awaits fic* ;)

[emiwenis.livejournal.com]

haha WHAT the hell is Godwin's law? it looks like something out of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.. probabilities and all... lmfao.

fandoms are so stupid. i dont like fandom, i just like individual fandom-friends. ~_~

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*points up* Some people have already linked to an explanation.

Heh. Fandom amuses me greatly.
