All SGA fans are welcome... readers, writers, artists, lurkers, fans at all levels...

A weekend of talking about SGA. Maybe a tad of writing or creative picture taking...

Now, there is a heavy slash element here... just a warning in case you're a dedicated gen or het person... but then you'd not probably be reading my journal... Oh, and adult. Ummm... very adult... so, leave the kids at home.

We'll come back for a headcount at some point so we know who to expect....

Wheeeeeee!!!!

There is no offense meant here, but YMMV.

I talked about a year ago about someone who seems to think that leaving cards like this in the bathrooms (in the stalls!) will make me convert to -- something -- as I pee. Whatever.

I take one look at think -- PENGUINS! Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!



What I love about Stargate fandom is the ability to see subtext! I take one look at a card like this and I immediately go back to the McKay/Sheppard stories where our heroes are penguins!

But it's not limited to just McKay/Sheppard or slash pairings. Or even to pairings. Stargate fandom can take any situation, any story, any pairing/friendship/team, any prompt and make it work! SGA folk are a pretty creative bunch and it doesn't take a lot to generate a story or a vid.

Here's to subtext! \o/

This is going to be interesting. There's a "hundred things" tag for anyone to follow, if you're interested.

First things first. The first of 100 things I like about Stargate Atlantis fandom:

The people. I've met some amazing folk through fandom and some of the best of them are in the Stargate Atlantis fandom. Everyone has been welcoming and encouraging and it keeps me writing and participating. I do have to say I've been very lucky and never been 'bitten by a troll' and have stayed outside of fandom wank. I know it's out there but, well, I've not been involved.

I've only met a small handful of SGA folk in person, which is really too bad. You all have amazing stories to your real lives, and I'd love to spend time with you, talk over tea/coffee and to get to know more about you. What makes you do the lovely things you do – even if you're just lurking and reading, that's ok. I still want to meet up and give everyone a hug.

Over time, I'm going to name names and talk about specific folk in fandom. ::rolls eyes:: Come on! 100 things is going to be hard enough if I can't talk about folk! But I wanted to start with a group hug.

{{{huge hug}}}

Summary: Rodney drew the line at the dancing hearts.

For the avfe "So Don't Be My Valentine Fiction Function" -- okay, I was desperate for a title...

So, as part of the InkingItOut project where I'm delusional to think I'll be writing 75K words this year (I've never done it but also never overtly tried), I've been writing Snarry fic. I have an Insane Journal account that I use for that... But I just have to share...

So I write a drabble for the prompt dark mark and the mod says, "extra credit for making it fluffy."

I write, Mark? What Mark? which is here: http://goddess47.insanejournal.com/1920.html and I cross-post on AO3.

I get a lovely comment on AO3 from summernap who asks if she can translate it into Chinese. Well, that's a cool thing.

Here's the same piece in Chinese: http://bulaoge.net/topic.blg?dmn=summernap&tid=2360500#Content,

More or less a followup to Among the Missing but you don't need that for this to make sense.

Real people are implied; nothing but respect is meant.

Questions from the ever lovely melagan... if you leave a comment on this post, I'll ask you 7 questions that you then answer on your journal!

Got this from sgamadison....

Leave any comment here and I will respond with 7 random question about you, life or fandom. You answer the questions on your journal (make a link back so I can see your answers) and you then ask questions of your flist.

These are my questions...

1.What drew you to the SGA fandom?

I've been in some type of fandom for almost all my life, before I even understood what that really meant.

I was a SG-1 fan from almost the beginning. We had Showtime on the cable at that time and the hubby and I had seen the movie and then... there was a TV show! I was hooked. I followed it to SciFi and when Atlantis started, it was a natural to follow. "SciFi Friday" was must-see TV in my world. Only after Atlantis started did I discover slash and John/Rodney became my go-to for writing. I found LJ, found the major McKay/Sheppard groups and found all you!

2.Which character (in any fandom) do you identify with the most, and why?

Jack Carter in Eureka. I sometimes feel like I'm surrounded by all these bright, beautiful people and I can't keep up with them. Then they need to know how to do something ordinary and I can help. That's my part in life, to keep it all together.

3.Name three television shows that you watch on a regular basis and why.

NCIS - Gibbs. Dinardo. The snark. Timmy.... I love them all.
Big Bang Theory - Sheldon Cooper is a hoot although I do wish Penny could get a 'real' job. It's another incarnation of 14 year old boys. Also, smart is sexy. It's interesting that I have very little tolerance for most other sit-coms.
Jeopardy - I love the trivia and how many questions can I answer.

4.What's the one food you couldn't live without?

Oh. There are too many. I'll go with chocolate.

5.If you had gone on the expedition to Atlantis, what would have been your personal item?

Hmm... there's so much yet so little. My box of recipes that I've collected over the years. Some of them are from my mom from when I got married. Probably couldn't get the same ingredients but it's the memories.

6.What's a typical day like for you?

The work week is faintly boring but it's not a boring job. Up, drive to work, spend the day with students and faculty (which is like herding cats ;-), home, dinner, back on the computer. The best days are when just one person says, "Oh, now I get it."

7.What's the one question you hoped I'd ask but didn't?

Well, I'm glad you didn't ask about the last book I read since I haven't read a 'real' book in so long... I suspect it's the last Harry Potter book. Meep!

Hmmm.... How about "What's your favorite type of vacation?"

Besides another Squee weekend, I adore cruises. After a certain point, there's only so much to do so you have to relax. Sitting and watching the water go by, having someone bring drinks to you and just the time out of the ordinary.
