I miss SGA sometimes too! I have all the seasons on DVD, but I haven't found time for a rewatch.

SGA fandom was probably the fandom I was most 'active' in (besides maybe House). The fanbase was definitely great; there were episode discussion posts that were fun to participate in, and I miss that kind of thing. The fanfic for SGA was also incredible, and I don't think I've been in a fandom since that I found SO MUCH that I enjoyed.

Looking back on it today, SGA fandom seems almost unbelievable. It was so bloody HUGE! I don't think there's been such an all-encompassing fandom since. And so much great fic *sigh*

It HAS been years so some of the fic I loved back then probably wouldn't stand the test of time, but I have no doubt that a decent amount of it would. 'Freedom's Just Another Word For Nothing Left To Lose' is one of my all time favorite fanfics.

The general atmosphere of the fandom was pretty nice too, but I was in the McShep corner and stayed the hell away from ship wars. I hear that John/Weir vs. John/Teyla was a thing for a time, but I didn't notice much about it.

Huh, I don't think I've ever actually read 'Freedom...', even though it's clearly one of the most famous SGA fics. I think I'll download the podfic of it and give it a listen :-)

Yeah I was McShep too, but I also loved a bit of Lorne/Radek or Lorne/Parrish!

I don't think I've ever listened to the podfic! I've read the fic quite a few times, and I DO remember downloading the podfic, but I guess I never got around to it. Should do that too...

Anyway, there's no guarantee you'll like it (is there with anything? lol), but I think it's worth a shot!

Lorne/Parrish is a ship I never paid much attention to, but I think I could enjoy it. I was also into Teyla/Ronon, though there's not much of that so I stuck to McShep fic.

I think I tend to go for the more...tropey, id-filled fics, rather than the think-pieces, which is probably why I never read it.

Lorne/Parrish was very cute, and a nice breather from the constant onslaught of McShep. I mean, they were still a soldier and a geek, but they had very different personalities to Sheppard and McKay (or at least, fandom gave them personalities - I think Parrish was in all of two episodes).

I can't exactly say I only read 'think-pieces', as I went through quite a lot of 'aliens made them do it' fic in SGA fandom. (So no judging on my part.) Variety is good, though!

I think Parrish was in all of two episodes

I thought it was one or two, so that sounds about right. You're very correct about fandom giving minor characters compelling personalities though!
