Excerpts
My very first fanfic was a Battlestar Galactica Apollo/Starbuck story written when I was about seven where they very happily got married and went off to fight Cylons in wedded bliss. So, technically, I guess I could claim I've been writing fanfic for about 24 years now. The first story online, however, was a Highlander/X-Men Mary Sue thing that I wrote when I was 20. (If I go back and read it now the only thing I seem to do is wince at my lack of being able to punctuate dialogue tags correctly.) I enjoyed writing it, though and still consider actually finishing it one of these days. (It was an arc of stories and I got up to part 4, with part 5 still half written and languishing on my hard drive somewhere.)
[I enjoy SGA fandom because] I love the people. I love the fact that I can have a conversation with someone and not have to think about the shorthand used, because we all know what SGA and McShep and ZPM mean. I love the fact that I can be having a bad day and I can be cheered up by ringing someone and having three hour conversations on how John and Rodney would get together. (Would it be fast and sudden, in the puddlejumper after a mission because it was close, so close, and John's never going to risk losing Rodney again? Or would it be slow and subtle with Rodney and John both working their way under the other's skin until they're so far in, so far entrenched in each other's lives that no one else has a chance?) I love the fic and the squee and the vids and the meta and pretty and the shallow and the deep. I love that I don't have to censor myself and that I can talk about the societal implications of slash and how hot David Hewlett's ass is in the same sentence. Hell, for that matter, I love David Hewlett's ass full stop ;)
