Thank goodness for the Stargate universe….

It was discovered that I had an ovarian cyst this year, unfortunately a big one that had twisted and done nasty things to my internal workings, so I had to spend time I would have usually have spent doing something a bit more active, either lying on my right side on a sofa drugged up to the eyeballs on painkillers or in and out of hospital having ( Read more... )

Great to see you on line again, even if it is after a craptacular time for you. Hugs!

How lovely that you've fallen in love with the show again, and SGA for the first time. I love SGA too and am a confirmed McShepper now.

You should be happy to know that Brad Wright is actively working on the third movie script and has even released some hints about it -- some interesting, some disturbing. It seems it will go forward though, perhaps in January. Joe Mallozzi is calling it Project Terzo on his blog, if you want to keep up with the goings on. He's been vague so far but that will change I'm sure. :)

It's great to be back on line and able to enjoy fandom again. Thank you ( ... )

I’m just very grateful to have this show and this universe to wallow in and that it’s still ongoing.

I am too. No pun intended, but the universe did open for me through Stargate. Let's see, I got to be friends with a lot of you, met my best friends through SG, discovered a love for reading and writing fanfic through Stargate, leaned about the Internet through Stargate, there were so many countless things. Stargate is very dear to my heart and watching them again has helped me appreciate it more.

Feel better, dear!

Oh my goodness. I could just quote your entire post and say 'me too'. I'd never heard of fanfic, never heard of fandom, and never been online until I toddled off in search of pictures of Daniel. (And I can still remember that excitement of finding all those wonderful sites that were around back then with BIG pictures that could only be downloaded very slooowly on dial up and video files and sound files and fanfiction. Absolute fangirl heaven.) It actually scares me to think I might have missed out on meeting all these wonderful people who are now such staples of my life that I can't imagine how I got by without them beforehand, not to mention the joy of fanfic, of reading it and writing it, and watching music vids and too many thinks to count ( ... )

Sorry to hear you've had such a rough year but I'm relieved to hear you're picking up now ( ... )

Anyway, this was me, slinking out of anonymity for a brief while to say 'good to hear you're getting better and take care'.

It was very sweet of you to do that. Thank you for commenting.

I was really worried I was going to lose my love of SG-1. I stayed away for quite a long time for fear of sitting through an episode and thinking 'meh', but I was really relieved to find I was as fangirly as ever about it when I started watching it again. I'm never going to love S7 and S8 in the way I love S1-S3, but I am really fond of them, just because they're Stargate, and I love some individual later episodes as much as I love the early ones like 'The Torment of Tantalus' or 'Solitudes'. (I'm the same with Buffy. I love S1-S3 more than I love the later seasons, but I still love the characters enough to enjoy the later seasons just because it's in that world and with those people.)

I wasn't that interested in Atlantis at first either. I only started watching it because of the (utterly brilliant) Escapade 2006 DVD. I watched lierdumoa's SGA vid If I ( ... )

Oh dear, I've enjoyed your comments so much and rambled on so much that I'm going to need two posts to answer you. Sorry ( ... )

"S4 of AtS was the one long crazy apocalypse story season. (Which I personally love, not least because Wesley is really hot in it, often right, only slightly crazed, and occasionally naked.)"

I knew there was a reason I really, reallty liked that season...

Glad to hear you're feeling better.

elgrey November 2 2008, 11:50:07 UTC

Sorry I didn't see this until now. I have to admit that there are lots of good things about S4, but Wesley's unfeasible hotness is the chief one that compels me to watch it so often....

Feeling fine now, thank you!

Hi! I just found your fanfic and have been reading it all day (to everyone's consternation. I mean, there's meals to eat and conversations to join, but hey! I'm in SG1 heaven!)

I'm so glad you're on LJ and that I can friend you. Just hoping your health woes are on the mend. Sounds like you've have a bad run of it.

elgrey November 2 2008, 11:48:54 UTC

Thank you so much for commenting. :) I'm really glad you're enjoying the fic . And I love your icon. Daniel looks completely adorable (as indeed he is).

The twisted cyst was annoyingly time-consuming but I had fabulous care and am feeling perfectly okay now. I just have to have two years of follow up tests to make sure everything's okay, but, hopefully no more morphine. (Which is nothing like as good as Wesley had led me to believe.)

kixxa November 3 2008, 03:24:34 UTC

Yes, Daniel's completely, utterly adorable! (But I never let his adorableness get in the way of a good whumping!)

I'm sorry the morphine wasn't good. I guess that's the only thing that makes being (really) ill worthwhile. :D Anyway, it's great to hear you're out of those particularly nasty woods. *raises glass to cheer good health*
