This week's prompt coming up! But in the meantime.........how did you guys like amenesty week as a space for posting works that took a bit more time to pull together?

Week 16: Memory is open!

[lilyfarfalla.livejournal.com]

Memory is a big theme in SGA--both the canon and fandom. Tabula Rasa is the obvious episode example, but one of the things I love most about the show is how the characters struggle with the memories of who they were pre-Atlantis vs who they are now, and how their experiences have shaped them.

Dictionary definition below for further inspiration.

memory --
1. a. the ability of the mind to store and recall past sensations, thoughts, knowledge, etc: he can do it from memory
b. the part of the brain that appears to have this function
2. the sum of everything retained by the mind
3. a particular recollection of an event, person, etc
4. the time over which recollection extends: within his memory
5. commemoration or remembrance: in memory of our leader
6. the state of being remembered, as after death
7. backing store See also virtual storage RAM , main store , Also called: store a part of a computer in which information is stored for immediate use by the central processing unit
8. the tendency for a material, system, etc, to show effects that depend on its past treatment or history
9. the ability of a material, etc, to return to a former state after a constraint has been removed
