#2 New Layout: In the meantime, can we at least make the Subject lines readable without having to hover over them and without needing Windows Explorer? I surf with Chrome & Firefox on my iMac.
#3 How about escalating the joint effort between the dv_exchange and daniel_vala? The 2009 D/V Exchange generated 22 submissions. If we encourage cross-posting and regular promotion of D/V content, that might have an accumulative effect instead of spreading the fandom too thin.
#4 sg-fignewton hosts regular Alphabet Soup ficathons for Team & no-paring stories, so Daniel/Vala friendship fics definitely qualify! I'd like to see if we can lure Gen-ficcers to Daniel/Vala, and also get more D/V friendship stories promoted here. I'd also like to see more Vala stories at gate_women, so we could encourage this comm to represent her whenever they call for submissions.
I got into "fandom" via The X-Files 5th season, and witnessed its decline in fan participation after the series ended after its 9th season. Without a 3rd SG-1 movie on the horizon, the SG-1 fandom and especially its sub-communities will continue to bleed numbers as other in-production fandoms lure them away.
Solutions? Do we encourage SGU fans to join us? Do we court Doctor Who and Caprica crossovers? Why not? I believe inclusivity versus exclusivity is part of the answer. I spam danielpix all the time, and have started to annoy the icanhazstargate comm, too. It would be fun to see more familiar usernames from across all the Stargate comms participating and recommending content here and everywhere, especially the more obscure stuff that suffers when fan numbers dwindle.

Harumph, all my fandoms are dead shows anyway, the only things I participate in actively are SGU and occassionally (when River Song makes an appearance) Doctor Who :O
Tell me about it. I love The X-Files, Farscape, SGA, and Firefly.
Am starting on Andromeda and Legend of the Seeker.
Sometimes I feel that the moment I start to like an active show, it'll get cancelled and I'll go through the Bitter that I endured during XF, which wasn't healthy.
Seriously, it's like a curse :( FlashForward, Knight Rider, The Dresden Files...*sigh* I call myself the kiss of death because the moment I start to love a show, it's dead *headdesk* And don't even get me started on favourite characters...if I fall for them, they're guarenteed to die :O
I just got my hands on S1 & S3 of Andromeda so that's next on my watch list too :D Pity about LotS, it had a lot of potential :( I missed out on meeting the cast by one day last year when they were at Armageddon, but we had to drive home so I didn't get to take pictures with them *pouts*

Other than that, I'm strictly a Stargate fan :)
