SGA is Not Dead...

(Anonymous) 2011-06-21 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
...nor doth it sleep. I started reading fan fic and watching vids and the show like crazy after the show was over, precisely because I wanted what I did and involved myself in to be about the characters and their stories, rather than any (ANY) engagement with the actors or the production of it (that is, waiting for the next episode....wondering whether it would suck and so on). Not that I mind actors and whatnot, I'm very grateful to them for their involvement, and bringing the characters to life. But after Supernatural, and all (ALL) the HOOPLA about Jensen and Jared, I'm a little tired of the whole "IT's ALIVE" feeling to it, and can't wait for Supernatural to be over. But I'm falling in love with SGA more every day and I like that the fandom is mostly about the show, the characters, the stories, the fan fic, vids, drawings, and other fannish works. It's about the fans and fandom, right about now, and not being behind or in front of any velvet rope because you either do or do not have any connection with the actors.

I stopped surfing Gateworld, but SGA fans are very much alive online. I'm always seeing icons, discussions, and even fanart where I least expect it.

(Anonymous) 2011-06-21 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly. There's Gateworld, which is fine, but that's not the fandom that I seek. I seek and, as you say, find, all kinds of good stuff out there, the fandom seems alive and well and and producing from the heart of each fan. New writers are showing up all the time, only recently Candlebeck started writing SGA, much to my delight and pleasure.

[identity profile] hako-neko.livejournal.com 2011-06-21 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Hell, it's the same with SG-1. I see new people getting into it all the time!

I think the only reason people don't realize that the SG fandom is still kicking despite the second spin-off show being a massive FAILURE is because we're generally not as loud/iconic as Trek or Wars.

[identity profile] tee-sama.livejournal.com 2011-06-21 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
But I don't think SG fans ever were (until SGU fans). It always seemed to me like we're those people who'll sit in a corner xD

And yeah, gateworld...I don't even read news there anymore since the "Don't say anything bad about SGU" policy. :D

[identity profile] hako-neko.livejournal.com 2011-06-21 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
the "Don't say anything bad about SGU" policy

No wonder their news only surrounds the gigs SG actors are getting into these days. :P

[livejournal.com profile] sga_genficathon just started posting last week. Plenty of new, great fics being put up!!!

[personal profile] popkin16 2011-06-21 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yep, we're still around :D

[identity profile] tekiclutch.livejournal.com 2011-06-21 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah - fandom ain't dead.

If anything, I got out of it and just started re-watching, and for giggles checked out the fandom. While some bits are still more active than others, there are loads of active sites and LJ-comms.

Which by the way, makes me a happy monkey. If you want new fandom friends, I'll bitch about Lollergates with you! :D

(Anonymous) 2011-06-21 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
I would love to get involved in SGA fandom (or SG-1 for that matter), but I assumed being an older show that the fandom was kind of sparse. Anyone want to provide some good links? :)

(Anonymous) 2011-06-21 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
There are lots of different fandom spaces on LJ alone, but since SGA fandom is pretty diverse you'll most likely not be interested in them all.

Good places to start:

[livejournal.com profile] sga_newsletter (updates daily - gives a good overview of what's going on in the fandom even if it doesn't catch everything)
[livejournal.com profile] sga_noticeboard (general SGA-related announcements)
[livejournal.com profile] mckay_sheppard (for McShep)
[livejournal.com profile] john_elizabeth (for Sheppard/Weir)
[livejournal.com profile] sga_genficathon (posting right now!)
[livejournal.com profile] stargate_anon (for gossip, bitching and squee)
[livejournal.com profile] sga_kinkmeme (also open for SG1 and SGU content, but those posts haven't seen much action. Sheppard heavy.)
[livejournal.com profile] sgagenrefinders (for when you're looking for a particular genre or pairing. McShep heavy.)
[livejournal.com profile] sgastoryfinders (for when you're looking for a particular story. McShep heavy.)
[livejournal.com profile] sga_guide (a work in progress, but will hopefully be a place where newbies can get an overview of where to find stuff for most pairings and characters)

Wow, tyvm! <3

Holy leaping toads, I'm glad I got into SGA fandom late, because even as a primarily-gen fan, I can't keep up with the fic now! I can't imagine how much I'd be drowning in the "live" days if this is dead.

We're not dead, anon. :D

[identity profile] diorama23.livejournal.com 2011-06-21 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I totally understand. I'm in a fandom that is a kitten to the dinosaur that SGA was (more a mouse really, a very small mouse) even at it's peak and now it's much smaller

And then I saw a BNF who used to post in that fandom call it 'dead' and I'm like "umm, no, it's not dead, I post stories all the damn time."

It really pissed me off.

I LOVE YOU, WONDERFUL SGA FEN!
