Grouchiness and sleepiness

selenayThings I have learned this morning:
1. A spoon works better than a knife when making coffee
2. Milk works better than OJ in that coffee
3. When I need a second cup of coffee in a morning and I muck it up totally, that might be a signal that I need another nap
4. 75% of Stargate fans are insane
5. Most of the insane ones are on the AG list, but a few of them have spread onto other lists
6. If I see one more Orrymain post...
Actually, 6 may not be a lesson - more of a threat. Now that voting in the Fanfic Awards is over I'm feeling a little less inclined to be nice about the beagle-writing idiot. Even her non-fic posts are like nails scraping on a blackboard. Argh! I feel sorry for the poor newbie she directed toward her fic at the weekend. Mind you, said poor newbie was looking for fics 'where Jack and Daniel are married and working on the Stargate'. Paraphrasing slightly, but not as much as you'd think. I have no problem with people liking a certain kind of fic (even if it is so far detached from reality that I want to spork my eyes out), but I wish they wouldn't deluge lists with their views on fluffy-wuffy Daniel and Jackikins.
Yeah, I may be grouchy this morning. Just a tiny bit. And I've had my coffee and everything.

Date: 2004-07-22 04:49 pm (UTC)I think some fandoms start out that way and I can only dream about one day finding one ::sigh:: I like the idea of everyone getting along, helping each other and generally being friendly. The community aspect is part of what keeps me in fandom, but the fandom politics aspect makes me tear my hair out sometimes.
I wouldn't be able to write SGA without the knowledge I get from SG1.
Ditto. I also think that there are going to be a lot S8 SG fics that are going to at least have to acknowledge the existance of SGA. The differences between the two shows are hopefully going to make the SGA fic interesting - we can probably do things and have situations that we simply couldn't do in SG. I can see a rash of bad 'everyone is gay and out' fics appearing when people realise this, although I'm hoping that the new freedom is going to be used responsibly and give us some new, original ideas in fanfic.
I liked that it was intelligent in a lot of the plots.
Ditto *g* I also liked that something that happened in one episode actually affected or was picked in a following episode. The term 'space opera' seems to be a dirty phrase for a lot of sci-fi fans, but it was that kind of stuff that made me love DS9 and B5. They could be intelligent and interesting because they were allowed to recognise events from previous episodes and have moral dilemmas that didn't revolve around the Prime Directive.
