Suitably misty and watercolored

Last night I had the very weird fandom deja-vu experience of recognizing a name from an older fandom that I used to be active in (before I was dragged - kicking and screaming, I tell you! - into SG-1. Or at least, dragged gesturing empathetically and speaking loudly into watching an episode, and then I was good to go). I'm weird like this: if I'm

And now the J/D has a firm hold on you and is Never Letting You Go!

Mwahahaha!

What?

[niamaea]

Y'know, I knew in the abstract what slash was, and read it when friends wrote it in other fandoms, and then I got my hands on...possibly a Biblio story, or something like it, and was like, "...huh."

The beginning of the eeeeeeend! *flail*

Although I was all about their guy love even before that.

"He's an evil little dreamboat."
Hee! And so true!

So, you're looking forward to Continuum then? Lots of Ba'al goodiness in there I hear. ;-)

[niamaea]

Mmm, Ba'al. Yes. Although even after all this time, I am still a little weirded out at myself for crushing on Great and Scary Evil.

I suspect Sam is a closet slasher - she surfs for fic while killing time as experiments/tests are running. *nods*

[niamaea]

Heee! I think read a fic once that was Janet and Sam reading Wormhole Xtreme slash (while Jack and Daniel were off making with the buttsex, of course.) It was like peeling and onion of meta, very funny.

(And she so would, too, just chill in her lab. Sam's probably master of the casual-minimize-click. "Oh, just looking over this spreadsheet, Sir...")

HI. :D

Oh man, I maintain that SG-1 is an excellent fandom for multishippers such as myself, because it feels like no matter what flavor of fic you go looking for? It's been written. And in a O_O kind of way, too.

[niamaea]

Looking back, I find it absolutely hilarious that there I was, no exposure to fandom at all yet, and I somehow managed to recreate a very tiny version of the J/S J/D Great Fandom Divide with the one person on my flist who I talked Stargate with. Poor Amanda -- she was very patient with me.

Although being a multishipper is much more fun. And YES to the O_O factor.

I remember reading ... I think it was cofax7's great big apocafic and thinking, "Wait, people write about the world ending in this fandom? I am staying for the long haul!"

If only I could catch up on SGA before it starts playing again in Jaunary. (I am really way more amused than I ought to be that the first thing Amanda Tapping did on SG1's cancellation was to grow out her hair. *grins*)

[niamaea]

Hee! Yes -- the fandom where apocafic is as or more common than any other given genre is my kinda place. There were not nearly enough apocalypses in Tortall.

Oh, SGA...I watch it mostly for the pretty, at this point, and with the hope of future SG-1 crossovers. Where did you leave off? (I have a bad habit of not watching for weeks at a time and then doing a Tivo marathon when everyone else's posts on it get too confusing.)
