Hey, anon! I guess there's no harm in coming out; I made that one! And I actually had lots of fun that day in all the Stargate threads.

To be honest, I felt like there were never that many SG fans as dedicated as I felt, and that's part of what motivated me to make that secret. The other part came from trying to find other fans and backing away in haste after stumbling into something I wanted no part of, hence the...er, anger in the secret.

I'd love to be friends with anyone who still loves Stargate. Admittedly, my fandom interests have moved on, but I still come back to it every now and again, and it plays a huge part in all of my fandom experiences.

I'm on hiatus rn, technically, but I hope to be back soon.

Guh! I miss Stargate so much!!! I get so sad when I look at my SG1 collection (I want SGA and SGU too, but now on blu-ray LOL). I hang out on stargateland and love the fact that everyone loves Stargate and there's no "I hate SGU" or "I hate this ship" - everyone ships whoever they want and loves whatever they want and respects each other and I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S CLOSING.

Anyway. I just love SG and I just want it back :( And with Joel Goldsmith dying, I'm just even more sad about it. :(

I think there are a lot more SG fans like this than you think <3

I'm just happy to sit here and ramble about SG - thanks to you and whoever made today's secret for giving me an excuse to be blubbery about it LOL

I still can't get over the fact that it's closing. Do you know why? Was it a lack of participation?

Oh my, he died? I totally missed that. Wow. Now I'm sad(der). :(

We're just usually so quiet, I guess. Most of us have moved on, I think. But I recognize you! From somewhere.

But, yeah, ditto, anon. I always love to talk about my first love. It always gets me all excited and emotionally invested and stuff.

Well, colls ran it for eight phases - I co-run a writing comm, so I know how involved it can be - I can't imagine doing it forever LOL. I think it's mostly just...time. They're keeping the social comm open and may throw out a random challenge now and again for kicks. I think it just makes me sad to see such an amazing fandom go quietly into that there night. Not that the fandom won't always be there, but...y'know. I watched the last scene of "Gauntlet" which was the last scene ever scored by Goldsmith and even if you don't love SGU, it's an AMAZING piece of music and somehow a befitting final scene for Stargate...it's got a sense of melancholy with a tad bit of hope that it won't always be gone.

Maybe you know me from Gateworld? I hang out on the S/J forum mainly. I also had fanfic up and about (well it's still up, but I flist locked it all). And I was around on stargateland obviously :P

Colls is an amazing person, tbh, no matter what fandom you're in with her(?). But, yeah, I can understand why. All good things must end. My biggest regret is that I never actually signed up for stargateland. It's just so sad to watch fandom slowly dissolve into the ether.
I'm saving SGU for when I get really desperate. I don't HATE it, but I wasn't fond of Air, and I couldn't get into it at the time. One day I'll finish it all off. Part of me is worried that it really WILL be over when I finish SGU.

That's a possibility! I hung out in the S/J threads and lots of the John/Teyla SGA threads. Admittedly, I haven't been on GW since...errr...2008ish? I lurked for years before, though. And I spent years on FF.net starting in '05.
Gosh, that seems like forever ago. I've totally put it behind me, because I was so young and immature back then that it's truly terrifying.

I'll be honest, the first half of the first season is the hardest part of SGU to get through. I think the writers really understood their characters and so I felt like I was missing a piece...but after I watched the end of S.1 and then went back and REwatched the first half, I found myself enjoying the episodes much, much more. By the end of S.2 I have to say, I think SGU had some of the finest writing and some of the best acting that I've seen - and that by no means belittles SG1 or SGA, SGU was different. For the tone they were going for, it was excellent. I love my shows a little darker and a little grittier (my favorite SG1 ep...Abyss and Heroes LOL I mean c'mon!).

I joined GW in 2006, so it's possible our paths overlapped. I was, at one time, known as Twilight506 ;) However, when the books became popular (I'd been using Twilight as a handle since '99, 2000 on various other places, well before the books were written), I made a change and decided to pick something more fannish (from Wheel of Time) so as to know that no matter what, I was happy being associated with a particular fandom LOL

I love dark, gritty shows, so I never understood why I couldn't get into SGU. Now I'm really considering going back to it and trying again.

That's cool! I've had majorshipper since I stepped out of the lurking shadows and properly joined fandom. Since then I've flip-flopped between it and youcallmegeek(with my twitter, most notably), but I always come back to this username, for some reason.

COMPLETELY OT but

your username

WoT fan?? Nynaeve fan???? :DDDD

LOL - yes yes :) I am a Nynaeve fan. ^^

You sound awesome. I meet so few other Wot fans! And Nynaeve is one of my all-time favorite WoT characters, I adore her! Have you read the whole series? :3

I have (twice). I really need to read them again because there's so much in them (and with the last book coming out...) that I can't always keep it straight LOL. I have to quiz my husband (who was the one who got me to read them in the first place). A great series IMO :D

Not to sound creepy, but want to be friends? =3 You seem cool~

Yeah, I've read it twice, but if I find time maybe I will again before MoL comes out. At least I'll refresh myself on everything that's happened!

Not creepy at all :) I don't write any WoT stuff although when I get time to go back through maybe I'll write some thoughts about it.

Well, same here, actually...heh. But part of the reason for that is that I have no flisters who have read the whole thing (most don't even know what it is!) and it's kind of on the backburner to other fandoms now, since there's such a lull between books. As MoL's release nears I'm sure I'll be thinking about it a lot more!

I didn't make this secret, but I love Stargate. I also loved your secret.

I'm always glad to see people coming out of the woodwork to confess a love of Stargate! So I'm glad for all the activity both secrets seem to have generated. :D
