I watched SG-1 for the first time all the way through when I was having a suicidal relapse, and, I shit you not, Jack O'Neill is one of the reasons I'm alive today. Just the fact that he's a concept that people created and thus he exists as a mental structure is like, the biggest boost to my ability to cope with my own issues.

I think I've watched the show maybe four-five times now, depending on which reruns I've caught and things. And I just recently watched all of SGA and had a fic binge of about two months. I'm just so sad that there's no more Stargate, really. I would do immoral things for a MMORPG, or a bioware-style SG game.

I just love every damn character in the Stargate verse. I hated McKay with the cold vengeance of a thousand Hoths, but then after marathoning Atlantis and reading all the good fic out there I really MISS him! HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? When I need self-confidence, I honest to god think to myself "what would Sam do?" and when I need moral fortitude I think "Teal'c would be displeased if I did that..." and when I'm tired of the bullshit that is life but I need to remember that it's also a treasure trove of cultural diversity and storytelling and weirdness I think "Daniel would still be alive..."

It's a shame that the fandom is on its last legs, but a lot of it is very well archived. The wank *is* pretty hard to wade through when I'm poking around the still-active portions of it, but I've become adept at ignoring it. It's too bad though because otherwise I might be tempted to write my own fic or make other kinds of contributions. As it is though, I lurk, and appreciate the shows, and take them in to keep me up in bad times. There's nothing like it on TV anymore and considering the zeitgeist there won't be for some time.

For me, I was sitting at a crossroads. I'd just found out that everything I wanted to do with my life wasn't even what I wanted to do, I was going through a massive suicidal phase, and I was ready to just give up. And then I was watching Stargate, and I looked at Sam, and I thought "Why couldn't I be like her? What, exactly, is stopping me, other than myself? Who says I can't touch the stars?"
And so I decided that well, maybe I could do something.

Basically every damn thing you said. Everything reminds me in one way or another of something from one of the shows, and those characters will be with me for a long, long time.

It's hard to gauge how much of an effect a show has had on you until you're sitting down reading a book about Egypt and you realize you already know half this stuff because Daniel Jackson...and then you realize you say "Indeed" waaaaaay more than the average population.

It sounds sooooo cheesy, but Stargate's more than just a show, y'know?


LOL I feel bad for replying to every comment on this secret, but I really want to talk with other SG fans! Fandom is that small.

There's a small but kind contingent of Stargate fans on tumblr. http://fuckyeahstargate.tumblr.com/ reblogs stuff from most of them. I'm mostly active on tumblr these days and it seems like a lot of the people who were just SICK of the nasty attitudes that pervaded older fandoms sort of ported off to quietly enjoy themselves in a less-structured way over there. There's plenty of wank on tumblr in general, but it's way easier to ignore it. And it seems like people who post about older, less-active fandoms are almost universally accepting and chill.

I don't get on tumblr very much, but I followed that one! It looks awesome. *happysigh*
