1. she's an anime fan. sam convinced herself that all of the manga she's collected is for the artwork only.
2. she's an ok cook. sam can't do anything fancy, but she makes a great tuna casserole.
3. sam's a pretty decent singer. her rendition of silent night at the sgc christmas party every year always left many people choked up.
4. she's a fairly competent fisherman (woman?) sam went on several fishing trips with jack for him to help with her "technique"
5. sam's can draw fairly well. she often has to sketch out plans for some component for whatever she's working on & no one has wondered what she was trying to put across.

Sam as an anime fan really made me smile for some reason. And drawing! That's a very nice touch. Great list! :)

Love #3. I'm the kind of person who does the choking up. :-)

Re: Five true things about Sam Carter that she doesn't know about herself


I really enjoyed all of these, but the first two in particular. I think you've really pinned down those two aspects of her character for me - the distinction you draw between Sam wanting to please her father and wanting to be her father (and the unrecognized tension that creates in her), and of course, Sam/Career OTP! Thanks!

Re: Five true things about Sam Carter that she doesn't know about herself


Wow, there's really a whole story in #1, and I wish there was more of it. Sam wanting to be her father is such a cool observation. And I love #5. (Space piracy, Sam!)

Really, these are just...gorgeous.

Re: Five true things about Sam Carter that she doesn't know about herself


You've nailed Sam with all of these, but #2 she should print out, attach to her fridge door and remind herself that this is who she is and damn it, that's just fine.
Nice work. :-)

Re: Five true things about Sam Carter that she doesn't know about herself


Personally, I'm a Carter/naquada reactor OTPer. She never looked at anyone or anything the way she looked at that baby ... ;-)
However, I could quite easily be a closet Carter/Amabssador Joe shipper. Somehow, they fitted really well. He respected her, as a woman and as a professional career-focused woman; they could have been happy, I'm sure. And on a perfectly shallow note, they looked great together.
Carter/Lee ... oh yeah...the sniping, the scientific pillow talk, the technobabble as sex ... someone needs to write it. :-)

Re: Five true things about Sam Carter that she doesn't know about herself


I love these and they all seem so true to Sam.

I wish the show writers could have figured out #'s 1 and 2, dammit. *g*

#3 makes me sad, that she is missing out on this joy for herself.

#4 makes me wistful about Jolinar, and is a cool and creepy thing, this hidden danger she was unaware of.

#5 is very happy-making in a teary way- because- Atlantis! Oh and I so hope it's all of that for Sam.

Re: Five true things about Sam Carter that she doesn't know about herself


Ooooooh, very nice. 1 and 2 particularly, and it feels like there might be more there. 5 I just like for the potential for glee. She's so cute when she gets to go fast, I love the idea that someday she'll find her place in the 'verse.

Re: Five true things about Sam Carter that she doesn't know about herself


oh, *wow*

I know you write Jack and Daniel the most but I love, love your Sam so very much.
Every one of those feels so completely true. I love the comparison with her parents - the wanting what she thinks should be normal, but not actually wanting it for her so much as thinking she should want it (Because. Yes.)
and all of them.

But number 5? Number 5....almost hurts in its trueness. Oh. SAM!

Re: Five true things about Sam Carter that she doesn't know about herself


#5: fingers crossed!

#4: I just have to wonder where you came up with the allergy idea? It stands out among the others since it has nothing to do with Sam's potential happiness, and it's just plain a cool concept. :-)

#3: This is something I often think of in musical terms. How many people never get exposed to the instrument that they could make sing?

#2: In a lot of ways, Sam's a by-the-book kinda gal. She could easily mislead herself about what she wants her life to look like.

#1: Wow, this is deep, and it all intertwines and branches out and confuzzles me. Maybe you'll spell it all out one day, like you've mentioned. I would so read that. :-)
