I have come to the sad conclusion that there will never be enough time for me to write all the ideas that my brain shunts out. Like the one after the umpteenth viewing of "Gone in 60 Seconds," where Sam Carter is a car thief turned (mostly) honest mechanic who ends up helping Detective Jack O'Neill solve a murder involving one of her former

YOU MUST WRITE THIS! I'm a sucker for any story where Sam is a brilliant but good-hearted criminal. Because if she were ever a criminal, she'd be scary good at it and yet still sarcastic and good-natured.

And having Jack as the detective is just the perfect twist.

We need to create glee over the next few months, because SGA fandom and their scary emo angst over Sam is starting to make me very unsympathetic towards the lot of them.

You know, I think I might try writing it as an off-the-cuff ongoing WIP, something fun that I just do when the mood strikes. Otherwise I'll freak out over the need to make it long and plotty and it will never leave my hard drive. :)

I've decided that outside of a very, very tiny circle, I'm avoiding SGA fandom. I'm not reading episode reviews, I'm not reading any Sam on Atlantis meta or commentary, and I'm pretty tempted to avoid fic to. I'm just going to
watch the show and maybe write some Sam and Teyla and Keller friendship fic (as if I didn't have enough ideas to write...).

Also, I still owe you email. Have not forgotten!

I'm totally on board with this idea.

When are you writing the first part? *grins*

I'm having a hard time coming up with a title for this AU. Oh music goddess Jenn, can you suggest some songs I can mine for a title, evocative of a good action-ish, sexy smart-ass story?

Actually, because I'm home today, I went above and beyond and made you a music mix. It has a pretty wide range of music, so if there's something you don't like, just delete it. ;)

1. Sabotage - The Beastie Boys (i'm not sure why, it just fits a car/speed mix)
2. Machine Head - Bush (oh yes)
3. State Trooper - Cowboy Junkies (a bit of dark angst in the midst of the party)
4. Strict Machine - Goldfrapp (she loves machines)
5. Stick 'em Up - Quarashi (pure crime)
6. Hey Pretty - Poe (heh)
7. Ready to Go - Republica (i just like the energy)
8. Steve McQueen - Sheryl Crow (our Sam)
9. Stolen Car - Beth Orton (this song is the inspiration for a future fic of mine, but it's very different then yours, and i think it'll really hit the spot for you)
10. Hands Off the Wheel - Oleander (another high energy song for driving)
