I need Thor to come save me from my disorganized computer
Okay. So I was just poking around on my hard drive, trying to find a text file that has a post that I wrote half of yesterday and wanted to finish. It was really clever and witty! It would have impressed you all!
Actually, no. It had fannish questions to which I need answers and a lot of outrageous flattery so that you all would feel loved and therefore come give me answers.
I can't find it, but that's really not important.
While I was hunting, I ran across a file from a while ago in which I was making a brainstorming sort of list, trying to figure out a non-hackneyed reason to get our General Jack from Washington to some other planet.
The list never really got very far, and I saved it in a hurry, obviously, because the filename is one of those auto-generated Microsoft Word titles where it steals the first several words from the file and uses them as the title.
My completely innocent file is titled 'Stupid and overused ways to get Jack off'.
*facepalm*
*giggles to death*
Today, my sense of humor is a couple of decades younger than my body.
I also include the really lame list for your entertainment:
Stupid and overused ways to get Jack off-world post-season 8
1) Thor
2) Aliens want to give him presents
3) Aliens want to kidnap him!
4) Jonas! (actually, is that overused?)
5) THOR!
6) OMG, Ancient tech
7) Party! At Thor's place!
8) This is really, really dumb. Or wait, maybe that's me. Crud.
I wasn't kidding, it didn't get very far.
Anyway. Here's what I want to know: does Satterfield really not have a canon first name? Not anywhere? Not, like, an interview or a post someone made on Gateworld or ... you know, anything? Fannish consensus? Seriously, I always thought her first name was Grace. Clearly I just invented that wildly - I assume by conflating the character's name with the actor's.
I hate giving recurring characters first names. It's enough to make me not use a character, which in this case would make me abandon the fic. Somebody needs to fix this. Like right now. =)
(Now edited for much better icon!)
Also ETA: Any aggravation evident in the above list is totally directed at my own brain and not at anyone who has used Thor as an excuse for any activities whatsoever. *g*

No fannish wisdom - BUT DO NOT ABANDON ANY FIC!!!!
Names- I am BAD at them; and clearly if this was something you could google or wiki you - oh google fu - would have figured it out already. *grin* *misses you*

Abandon is a strong word. I never delete anything, I just consign it to the folder called 'dreck'. =)

9) Laira wants him to meet his love child
10) One of the many planets where SG-1 (and Jack especially) saved them from the Goa’uld have now started their new religion based on Jack. He must return every year for their sacred religious ceremony entitled: For Cryin’ Out Loud It’s the Anniversary of Our Freedom!
11) He is being used as bait to draw an old enemy out of hiding. One that looks like giant fishes perhaps?
12) Time-warp bubble discovered where Cubs are playing 1908 World Series over and over in loop. (I would go to this planet along with Jack in your fic, obviously. Though please don’t make me a Mary Sue and/or kill me off!)
13) Teal’c asks him to come visit Chulak for the birth of his grandson/wedding to Ishta/to help him move
14) Bored at work one day and happened to “fall through” the wormhole to get away from paperwork
15) Magnets

I think keeping the naughty title lends a whole new spin to the list itself, too. *sniggers*

(I actually had to go find a Thor icon! A great miscarriage of justice has now been corrected.)

Hee hee hee! *iz twelve*
Hmm. I ran through the transcript of "Proving Ground" and they only ever call her "Satterfield". For some reason though, I always thought her first name was Emily. I'm sure I probably read that in fic and it just stuck.
Wait. Are we coming up with bad reasons for Jack going off world or plausible ones?

But that is so not a good reason to give up on a Satterfield fic. SATTERFIELD!
Was Jonas ever used as an excuse to get Jack off-world? It's not like he liked Jonas all that much...
Party at Thor's place!

I have a vague, vague memory of seeing it in a fic once? Maybe?
Thor's parties are the best! If only I could get an invitation .... Hehe.

rotflmao, personnally, that'd be a great name to remind to read that file...lol
Somebody needs to fix this.
AND last names! I can't believe Penny is *just* penny (in Big Bang Theory, sorry for the fandom mix. just had a fit on the same topic recently. sigh)

And yeah, I'm sure in six months I'll have forgotten all about that file. Then I'll run across it, go 'huh?' and get to have the same fun all over again. Heh.

how to leave yourself hidden presents...;D
