Day 12 - An episode you’ve watched more than 5 times

This question makes me laugh SO HARD. Honestly, sometimes I can watch an episode 5 times in ONE NIGHT if it's a show I'm really into. So, um, yeah. There are hundreds of them.

I know it sounds weird, but I keep a tally of how many times I've watched eps from my fave shows, and the episode I've watched more than any other in the history of television is SG-1's The Curse. I loooooved seeing Daniel, Sam, and Janet strike off on their own like that. They were my Dream Team for quite a while there. And we finally got a glimpse into Daniel's past that wasn't about his parents dying, which I greatly appreciated. I think this must have been my feel-good ep for a while, and also one of very few that I had on tape for the first few months of my SG-1 obsession, because even for me, watching an episode almost 50 times is a little extreme. ;)

So last night I watched Skin. Which I have to admit is another of my season 1 faves. And not JUST because ( Robert Duncan McNeill directed... ) Although that IS a lovely picture to have in my mind while watching the episode. ;)

It's probably an unpopular opinion, but I loved Rebecca. I loved the little sister vibe she had with Sam, how strong she was in spite of all the traumatic experiences she went through one after another, and how she didn't fall for any of Dean's (or not!Dean's) advances, and I thought the actress was amazing. I'd still love to see her again.

I wondered when Sam was going through his e-mails whether one of them was from Brady, and then Dean said, "Dude, what kind of people you hangin' out with?" and I just had to laugh. ;)

The whole "a hunter shouldn't have connections" speech... ( Slight spoilerage for later seasons )

This was the first time we saw Dean's attachment to the amulet. He ripped it off not!Dean almost as though he were more offended that he'd stolen his precious amulet than that he'd beat up his brother. ;)

Yes, I cried a little.

Random thoughts and observations:
*Why do they always poke at the skin blobs? Why? Whyyyyyyyy??
*We always talk about how everything happens in small towns on Supernatural, but they were actually in a CITY this time! *gasp*
*Sam mentioned San Antonio, Jared's hometown. I giggled.
*Sam knew right away that Dean wasn't Dean, and I always wonder how. It seems to take Dean a little while to figure it out whenever Sam isn't Sam, which makes me think Sam knows Dean better than Dean knows Sam, which... doesn't seem to be the way Dean sees it at all.
*Not!Dean talked about Dean's "dreams," and it got me wondering what they might have been. When and why did he get his GED? Did he really want to be a fireman? How long has he wanted his own family?
*This was possibly the first time they used songs as a soundtrack to the actual scene, rather than just whatever the boys were listening to on the radio or to usher an episode out. And the songs they used set the tone of the evil!Dean scenes PERFECTLY.

Don't forget, guys, the party's still ongoing! Chat will open at 8pm EST, and we'll be starting the ep 2010 at 9pm sharp. Join us if you can! :)

Sorry for the wait, Sara! Heh, late for my own ficathon... yeah, that's classy. ;)


Title: While You Were Sleeping
Author: MegTDJ
Category: Drama, humour, weirdness
Rating: PG/K+
Pairing: Daniel/Janet
Spoilers: Anything up to Rite of Passage (set in season 5). Also a mild Raiders of the Lost Ark spoiler. Don't ask.
Warnings: Mucho weirdness. Seriously.
Summary: My contribution to the 2008 danjanficathon. My prompt came from lexsara, who wanted "some mention/reference to Doctor Who, a MacGyverism, leather jacket," and did NOT want "heavy angst, depressing ending." Just remember... you asked for it!
Disclaimer: Stargate SG-1, its universe and its characters are not mine. The story itself is, however, so please don’t archive without my permission.

Author's notes: I blatantly stole this idea from an episode of Supernatural and the title from one of my favourite movies, but the weirdness that ensues from there is completely mine. And yes, I based the wackiest part of this fic on a dream I actually had. Shut up.

Thanks to Kerri and Misty, who convinced me to write and post this thing even though I'm pretty sure I would rather have died. Can I go hide in embarrassment now? *slinks off*

Okay, folks, the Dan/Jan 100 Prompt Challenge is officially underway!

The way this works is: You take a table full of prompts, use the prompts to inspire fic ideas, write the fics, post the fics telling us which prompt(s) inspired them, turn your table of prompts into a table of fic links, also submit the fics/links to the Challenge Archive, and watch the Main Table on the archive grow. In a nutshell. ;)

Instructions for the challenge can be found here - http://danjanchallenge.ms11.net/promptchallenge.html

Prompt tables and the codes needed to post them on your website/journal are here - http://danjanchallenge.ms11.net/prompttables.html

The Main Table that will gather all the responses together is here - http://danjanchallenge.ms11.net/promptmaintable.html

Some things everyone should know... I've broken the 100 prompt table down into 10 "bite-sized" tables of 10 prompts each, so if 100 fics seem a little too much for you to handle, you can still participate by taking one (or two or three...) of the smaller tables.

Also, not every fic needs to be Dan/Jan-related. Use these prompts however your muse commands and fill your table with anything you like! This IS a Dan/Jan challenge, though, so only your Dan/Jan responses will be linked to on the Main Table. For that reason, I would prefer that at least 4 out of each 10 fics that you write are Dan/Jan, but if you only manage one or two, I'm not going to send the fic police after you. ;)

Anyway... if you're interested in participating, please read the instructions carefully and take a look at the prompt tables, and then let me know to what extent you would like to take part. There's no time limit on sign-ups or submissions here, so no pressure. Just snag a table, put it somewhere that you'll see it fairly regularly, and soak up the inspiration. I can't wait to see the fics these prompts will inspire. :)

Don't forget, you only have until Saturday night to sign up for this year's Dan/Jan Ficathon!
