I respectfully disagree.

I've been in small fandoms with very little and very crappy output before, and SGA is not it. Everything is not ZOMG AMAAAAZING, but it wasn't 4 years ago either. Most people are in denial of how much crappy and utterly forgettable fic was posted in the heyday of SGA fandom. Just because a BNF wrote it doesn't mean it's good.

If nothing else, I've found that the fic is a lot more varied now. More pairings are being explored, new themes, and more people are looking beyond the collection of tropes that pretty much was McShep at one point. There might be less fic right now, but what is posted is certainly more interesting.

Just because your other fandoms were smaller and crappier doesn't negate the fact that SGA has gotten small and crappy. That's like saying I can't complain about a broken arm because you have a two broken legs.

The problem with SGA is that back in it's day it was a 1. very large fandom that 2. had above average writers and 3. who produced a ridiculous amount of fic. It set the bar pretty high, and some fans got used to that level of quality and quantity. Compared to that, yeah, the fandom's pretty dead and sad. Compared to some fandom like Earth2 (for a random example) it's still active and high quality, but compared to it's own hayday it's pretty sad.

I don't really see how that's sad? It's more obvious than anything else. Western Media fandom usually peter out once there is no new canon material and the usual hangers-on and bandwagoners leave for greener pastures.

SGA had the same ratio of bad to good writers then as it does now. There were just a bigger pool to choose from. A lot of the heavily recced fic from those days is insanely overrated as well. It also used to be insanely large and active. At this point I'd call it a medium sized fandom. "Small" is for fandoms where you get one fic/week, if you're lucky.

[(Anonymous)]

Even if there is the same ratio of good to bad fic, that means back in the day if there were 10 to 10, you still could be excited because omg 10 awesome fic to read yay! Now it's more like 1 to 1, and 1 awesome fic, while good, isn't nearly as exciting. Make sense?

I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree on the idea of size when it comes to fandom. Your idea of active is just not my idea of active, etc.
