The Same Coin [7/?]

[yacoba]

I know most of you probably think cliffhangers are evil, but they really do help me with writing the following chapter. When I end with a cliffy I know exactly how the next chapter is going to start, and from there the rest flows relatively easily. However remove the cliffhanger and it can be difficult to decide where to start. Which is the problem

Yay, another chapter. Poor Dean and Sam, they're totally misunderstood. :)

[yacoba]

Thank you! I don't think I've ever had to write a story before where the boys actually had to explain themselves. It makes life interesting.

Very happy to see some more of this :) I've been checking back regularly for updates. This chapter is moving the story along nicely, and I think you have everyone's character voices just right. Although I was surprised that Samantha Carter wasn't a little bit more sceptical of all the supernatural stuff - she's such a hard core scientist most of the time ;)

[yacoba]

I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter. You're probably write about Sam, although Jack always sticks out for me as the biggest skeptic of the bunch. ^_~ Thanks for reviewing!

I always think of Samantha as the one who would try and come up with an explaination about how a ghost can become physical. She's a top knotch scientist and would explain ghost and demons in language only a scientist would understand. She would not discount evidence (sulphur, etc) either unlike Jack would (just on principal^_^).

[yacoba]

that's a very good point ^_~ I knew there was a reason she didn't stand out to me in that way like Jack [good times!]

[missrose54]

and you rock my world b/c this crossover is awesome ^_^.

The only feel I get that something is off is that Carter is not really speaking all that much. But then again its a nice change from her yapping all the time about quantum this and energys that ^_~ considering we are not talking about Stargate fluxes but demons who want to rip off your face, which is more Jacks dept anyway.

But either way I wouldnt change it for the world ^_^.

[yacoba]

thank you ^_^

I know what you mean, in my head sometimes it seems like they're all talking over each other [everyone wants to have their say ^_~ except poor Teal'c who sometimes gets forgotten cause he's so quite] If I could I'd keep the scene down to only a few SG-1 members with the boys, but that doesn't seem likely to happen ^_~

Hey there

[yacoba]

Thank you so much! I haven't done all that many crossovers [only worked on two others] But I don't think I could have asked for two shows that were better set up for crossing over.

However as you pointed out, the SGC doesn't make it easy. I spent a while after chapter 4 wracking my brain trying to come up with a clear way the boys could prove their side of the story. I needed to get a reason why they wouldn't just be locked up somewhere for the rest of their natural lives ^_~

The demon attack helped with that.

I'm glad you like those scenes, writing Sam's conversation with Jack was one of the funnest for me. I've really been looking forward to writing Dean and Jack interacting together, but so far that two of them haven't been making it easy for me ^_~

Thanks again!

It is an awesome crossover set up! and you write it so well. :) I think one of the themes from Stargate that works so well is the dynamic between the explained and unexplained. Like how the primitive people on other planets take technology as magic because at some point it becomes so advanced it's indistinguishable. Then with Sam explaining the use over iron and EMF, (loved that btw) you can get a glimpse of how the same principle applies. hunter's don't know why an exorcism works, beyond taking it as a religious fact, so they think of it literally. What I love about SG-1/SPN crossovers is that it could be either. It could really be magic, or it could be a science to advanced to understand.

Anyway, I look forward to more demons and aliens, and seeing that Dean and Jack interaction as well, they're so similar, I can see why they'd not be easy to write. probably at each other's throats or something. :)

Good luck.
