I need Thor to come save me from my disorganized computer

[mrspollifax]

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*

*laughs hysterically* - clearly I am like 13 - or been spending to much time with my thirteen year old...

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*

Hey! I can help!

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 barely even notice *last* names half the time. I mean, seriously. Secondary characters and I do *not* get along. You probably need Annerb for this, but of course she's away jaunting around Europe. *sighs*

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

Stupid and overused ways to get Jack off

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?

For some reason I feel like Satterfield's name starts with "E" and I don't know why.
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!

Somebody needs to fix this.
