Excerpts
I have been reading slash since 1996 or so (I started in the Xena fandom!!), and have read in a variety of fandoms (in rough order: Xena, X-files, Highlander, Sentinel, Sports Night, Harry Potter, Smallville, SGA, Due South (yes, DS last. Don't ask me, I don't know)).
Several things [that I enjoy most about SGA and/or SGA fandom]:
- I really love how the fandom has made what is, objectively speaking, a pretty crappy show into something that I am not only willing to watch but am anticipating with an enormous amount of glee.
- I am a very fast reader, and I love that the stories are getting written faster than even I can read.
- In addition, and this is probably an effect that could be traced to any number of causes, I love that the average quality of writing in fic is amazing - back in X-files days, the average fic was far below published book standards. In SGA, I feel that even the fics that would be considered mediocre within the fandom are actually fairly high quality in objective assessment.
