I have what is probably an odd question. What is this obsession with penguins in the Stargate fandom? I've seen it from all quarters of the fandom for fans of both shows and of various ships. It's just something I've seen occasionally.

I'm pretty sure it's a Sam/Jacks shipper thing, and if other groups are using it now, it probably evolved from that. I'm not sure exactly what it's about but I think it has something to do with the penguins being like defenders of Sam/Jack.

Interesting. While I'd seen comments about penguins over the last couple of years in various ship pairs and such I just never asked until yesterday when I was trying to figure out why there were at least three Sam/Jack ship threads on GW. I was looking at the first post of one of the threads and saw a mention of penguins so I was reminded of it and decided to ask finally.

I still don't know why there are two active Sam/Jack threads, but whatever. I thread was apparently started a couple years ago because the Sam/Jack shippers weren't all getting along but it hasn't been active awhile.

It definately goes back further than that with Sam/Jack. I started browsing GW about 2004 and it was a 'thing' then. :)
