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've been wondering the same!

Also, I'm wondering why everyone loves vampire fics.

hmmm Penguins? Have no idea!

I am really contributing to this conversation, aren't I? ;)

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.

It was a Sam/Jack thing

Because of the S1 episode where they end up in the Antarctic (or whatever the hell it is) and it's the first "shipper" moment of them.. Penguins live only on Antarctica.. So sheesh, that would make it late 90's early 2000/2001-ish that it started up. It may also have had to do with the penguin slapping the other penguin down sort of randomly- that icon started coming 'round back in the day..

Also, it's the name of the group of round robin fic writers that wrote Sam&Jack back in the day- Team Penguin.
