I’m at the airport, waiting for my flight back home, and realize the high from the last three days hasn’t worn off yet.

I MET AMANDA TAPPING!!!

That alone is a dream coming true.

But most importantly, I met some wonderful people, some I already knew from here and new ones from all over the world. We had a fantastic weekend with amazing conversations and a hell of a lot of fun. And definitely not enough sleep.

During the Q&A sessions I took extensive notes, made some pictures and already received pictures from others. So, I will write down my experience and preserve it for all eternity. It will probably look like this:

part I - cocktail party here

part II - Q&A sessions 1 & 2 from Saturday here and here

part III - the auction here

part IV - Q&A sessions 3 & 4 from Sunday here and here

part V - closing ceremony and personal thoughts here

But I still need more time to reflect, and, unfortunately, I am too busy on the job the next few days.

I promise to start this project during the upcoming weekend.

And I hope the smile on my face will last for a few more days.

In the spirit of this, here are some of the Stargate fan fiction archives, outside of AO3 and FF.net, that I have found on my travels. I will post more as I find them 😊

The Place of Our Legacy (great name): a fic archive from around the year 2000

Jackfic.net: a website focusing on Jack O'Neill fics from around 2004 to 2007

Samandjack.net: for all you Sam/Jack shippers. Fics from 1998 all the way to 2021

Heliopolis archive: an archive of SG1 and Atlantis fics. The main page has links to associated fic archives.

O'Neill's House: the website of the author BadgerGater who was a fan fic award winner back in the 2000s

"I [Amanda Tapping] still get very emotional when I talk about this episode, because it kind of mirrored my real life experience. I lost my stepdad the previous October, and was devastated... So there I am in the Stargate observation room, watching Carmen [Jacob Carter] lying in this bed, and they call me down and I'm running down the stairs into this room, and as I lean down towards Carmen it strikes me: not only the enormity of the moment in Stargate, but I'm reminded of my stepdad, which is just filling my heart up. I looked at Carmen and realized that he was not going to be on the show any more. My beautiful Carmen, whom I adore. All of a sudden I started to cry and couldn't stop. I wasn't even on camera at the time, but I couldn't stop. Peter Deluise looked at me and asked, 'Are you all right?' and I sobbed, 'But it's Carmen." Tapping says she eventually pulled it all together, and went to the observation room to shoot a scene with Richard Dean Anderson: "We're sitting getting ready for this little scene between Carter and O'neill, which is quite wonderful, and some interesting things are brought to bear. Rick turned to me and said, 'You're not crying, are you?' and I went, 'Yes, I am.' And he replied, 'I hate it when you cry. I hate it.' And it was just the perfect prelude to that little scene between us.

Pride stargates bc why not?
