Oh my goodness. I could just quote your entire post and say 'me too'. I'd never heard of fanfic, never heard of fandom, and never been online until I toddled off in search of pictures of Daniel. (And I can still remember that excitement of finding all those wonderful sites that were around back then with BIG pictures that could only be downloaded very slooowly on dial up and video files and sound files and fanfiction. Absolute fangirl heaven.) It actually scares me to think I might have missed out on meeting all these wonderful people who are now such staples of my life that I can't imagine how I got by without them beforehand, not to mention the joy of fanfic, of reading it and writing it, and watching music vids and too many thinks to count.

I really couldn't explain to someone who wasn't already a fan of the show what it is about Stargate that makes one love it at an insane level of intensity for year after year, but I think a sort of magic happens with the shows that have the ability to invade our dreams and SG-1 has it in spades.

Thank you so much! I do! And thank you for commenting. :)
