A few days ago, ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
holdouttrout conducted the perfect Sam Carter poll. Make sure you scroll down to enjoy the picspam in the comments.
And now it is Pi Day, which must be an SG-1 favorite, both in terms of pi and of pie. So comment here with Sam love. Or Jack love. Or pi or pie love.
But do this Benevolent Dictatrix a favor, and keep that love gennish. ;)
SAM!
Sam is so used to being shipped with everyone that gen can take her by surprise. (Thanks,surreallis!)
Some more gleeful Sam icons below:

She is awesome in any dimension, whether alternate or imagined!
Some favorite Sam fics I've read:
Reaching Past the Sky, byamilyn. Gorgeous, aching piece of pre-series Sam and the Challenger tragedy.
Interplanetary Feminism by Annerb showcases take-no-prisoners Sam and is a thing of joy.
Girls (and Jaffa) Do Not Fight Fair is Kalquessa's gleeful take on S8 Sam rescuing her team from gladiators. Poor Jack misses all the fun.
The Blue Jell-O Metaphor is my definitive Sam character piece. Surreallis gets Sam, yes.
Under Fire, by Strix Varia, is a fantastic dramatic piece of early season Sam, forced to prove herself in crisis. Great team fic.
I love Minnow's West. Take everything away from her, and she is still beautifully and triumphantly Sam.
Sef's Meeting of Minds is both a Sam fic and a team fic and a Daniel fic and oh, I just love it to pieces. S7 and the Asgard and the Gadmeer and TEAM and just -- go read it already!
For Sam in SGA, nothing compares to the stunning Where You Hang Your Hat bydestina.
And some Sam-centric fics I've written. All gen, natch. :)
G is for Gate. Sam will never stop loving the Stargate.
Chug When They Reverse the Polarity. Sam, Janet, and movie choices!
Speeding Again? Sam's on a roll, and Daniel is very unwillingly along for the ride.
Sports Night. Sam and hockey, with background Jack and Daniel silliness and Teal'c pwnage.
Your Regularly Scheduled Programming. Another prison breakout, another squabble. Sam and Teal'c friendship with background Jack and Daniel friendship (sort of).
Reciprocal Regard. Throughout the years, Jack and Sam have always been there for each other. Twelve drabbles that illustrate a lifetime of friendship and support.
Speaking of Sam. Twelve prompted drabbles that cover pre- to post-series.
For All Your Beauty Needs. Sam and her boys, on a matriarchal planet that's not as much fun as it ought to be. A little bit of team silliness set sometime in late S1.
Guilty Pleasures. Is it Sam and Jack's fault that rescuing Teal'c and Daniel is so much fun? Jack and Sam friendship with some bonding violence.
Leitmotif: Teal'c, Sam, and rock music.
Respect for Ritual. Just once, Sam thought, it would be nice to go a mission that didn't involve SG-1 getting drunk...
Pawns' Promotion. The NID think Sam and Sha're would make fine experimental subjects. Sam and Sha're have other ideas.
Seeking Definition. Sam reflects on her working relationship and friendship with Teal'c.
A Gift of Consolation. Sam and Daniel friendship, post Shades of Grey.
Coming Down: Sam and Janet in the aftermath of Upgrades.
In Search of Possibilities. My favorite personal fic. :) Sam and Daniel friendship, post Double Jeopardy, with drama and ethical dilemmas and angst.
Shake Vigorously for Best Results. When the team comes under attack, Sam uses any weapons she can get.
X is for X-Files. Sam learns that Jonas doesn't quite understand television programming.
All This Time. Sam is trapped in an underground secret base with a damaged or dying teammate. This isn't what she planned for her first mission as leader of SG-1. The missing days in Zero Hour.
Whee! I've written more Sam that I thought. Go Sam!
And finally, I would be remiss not to recommend Wonderland's What a Waste of Good Pie and Aurora's Pie Day. :)
Edit: and a little meta for good measure? Here is The Sam Edition of Canon vs. Fanon. :)
