I know a lot of us SGA fans are really pissed over TPTB and their treatment of SGA but, even if I never watch a single episode of SGU, other fans might be intrigued enough and want to write for it. There seems no point in restricting the SG prompts list to NOT include another series in the same franchise!

I kind of agree here.

If SGU doesn't have any love, the TPTB will see that the franchise has gone the way of the dinosaurs and give it the axe.

SG1, SGA, SGU should all be included. My rule of thumb is if Jack or any of the other SG1 team in that show it counts.

Not to mention that the community is called sg_prompts which in my mind should cover -all- media from comics, original book series and the movie as well as the shows.

I agree as well. I think this should be open to everyone. If SGU fails to garner interest, it should do so because there's genuinely no interest, not because we've arbitrarily decided to ignore it and force everyone else to do so as well.

I agree wholeheartedly with this statement and the others upthread. Thank you.

(Also thanks to the mods for polling the comm about SGU.)

I agree with everyone who posted. If you're going to call yourself sg_prompts you deal with everything that is part of Stargate and has the same crew of people and even old actors making cameos. You feature the comic characters, the original trilogy of book characters as well as the original movie characters.

You're not really a Stargate fan if you don't. And for those voting for "Wait and see if there is any interest first" option are people who really don't want to watch the new series, was in love with SGA so much that they're angry that they canceled it, or they just don't want to go further in the ever evolving world.

If you're a fan of Stargate, even if you hate the series, you have to acknowledge it. I hated Stargate: Atlantis yet I acknowledge it as canon. Just like, when the MMO is released, everything that they do with our favorite characters in that game will be canon.

The poll should have never been created. If this community is going to be called just Stargate Prompts, you include everything that the producers and creators of ( ... )

I'm sorry, I must have missed that in the official manual of "How to be a Stargate fan". Oh wait. There isn't one. :D

The poll should have never been created.

::shrugs:: That's entirely up to the moderator. I think it was nice that she opened the floor to discussion to see what the members here would be interested in.

Not every Stargate-oriented community covers every Stargate show. For example, there are archives that accept only SG-1 fic, others that accept only SGA. There are some that will not take stories set in Season 6 of SG-1. Some won't take slash under any circumstances.

Sometimes those decisions are done solely at the discretion of the mods, sometimes the community is polled first. I like that the fact that this moderator took the time and effort to poll the community for a consensus instead of unilaterally instituting a policy.

This poll was created as it was promised to the members back when the first rumors of SGU got started. If there is/was no interest, there would no need to change the community rules to include it. We currently do not include Stargate: Infinity, and there has been no interest in including that to date.

As a mod though, I do need to request that you refrain from assuming the reasoning behind members' opinions on this and other issues as it may come across as insulting, whether or not that was your original intent. The first and primary ground rule of the community, as listed in the community rules, is respect. Others may not have the same option as you, but they are still entitled to that opinion.

It's better to be a nice fan than a rabid fan. People react a lot more... in the positive if you're nice to them.

I voted to include it. Mind you I didn't care for the premiere of SGU and may stop watching if it doesn't improve drastically. But still, go ahead on add SGU. If there's no interest in the prompts, it'll naturally fall by the wayside. If there is interest, it may bring more traffic to the community in general.

Thank you for putting up the poll and giving the members here a chance to voice an opinion. It's most appreciated!
