It's Like a Drug...

Dec 14, 2009 09:46

I'm completely hooked on SG-1. I've watched up to 3x16 Urgo. Thank goodness for local libraries that have almost the whole series in their DVD section and let you borrow 5 at a time. I've been suffering withdrawal the last couple of days because the library wasn't open and I won't be abe to get there until later today to get the next few DVDs. ( Read more... )

Oh, I am right with you *g* I'm up to 4x...10 (I think) 'Tangent'. And while I adore libraries- I should, I work at one- if your internet speed is good enough, you can also watch all of SG-1 online at Hulu.com. That might help with your fixes between borrowing disks:)

And you still don't like Carter? She's my favorite character- and Daniel sort of annoys me! *laughs* It's good to have friends that are different from you.

I'll hopefully have watched that ep by tomorrow :-) I've got to go out this afternoon and I'll in at the library on my way home. I tried that site but I kept on getting the "This is not avaliable in your area" message.

*g* I guess things would be boring if we all liked the same stuff :-) But I have to ask why Daniel annoys you? It doesn't seems possible to me but then again I'm generally attracted to geeky guys ;-)

Sorry it took me a while to reply! *ducks* I sort of lost this thread somwhere, but...

I'm up to season 5 now! And I think Daniel annoys me because he reminds me a lot of my little brother (geeky, glasses) and Carter is more like me (except I'm not blonde)*g*

That's cool, I haven't been around much lately anyway. Too distracted ;-)

I'm beating you! I've just started on season 8. Still loving it (although season 6 was almost torture to watch). Fair enough about Daniel, I just love his passion and energy plus the fact that he looks good. *g*

Gen is good! There are some terrific gen writers and even a lot of us slashers write gen, too.

Travelling One and captain_tiv do some top of the line Daniel-centric gen stuff. sg-fignewton is the *Queen* of gen and her gen fic days and Canon vs. Fanon essays are a *must* read. :-) Also, take a look at the Stargate Fan Awards site for current and past winners.

Oh, and I agree with you on Carter. She wasn't as bad early on, but she got to be very annoying to me later when she really hit her Super!Sam period.

Thanks for all the recs. So far I've just been reading the episode tags listed at stargatefan.com. I have to say that one thing I have noticed is how long most of the fics seem to be. Is that a trend in the fandom or have I just been lucky so far?

Oh, don't tell me she gets worse :-( I really dislike it when I start to hate characters and I can see it happening with her.

tejas December 13 2009, 23:54:42 UTC

Longer fics seem to be pretty standard. I was shocked when I got into NCIS fandom and found all these little things floating around. Granted, I've written some little ones myself, but much prefer the longer stories. :-)

Oh, and yeah. She gets worse. Then they try to shove ship down our throats. *shudder*

karababe_64 December 14 2009, 00:12:58 UTC

Long fics are fantastic so good to hear that there are plenty of them. But the little ones are good when you only have 15mins or so to read, or when you know that you really have to go to bed but you just want to read one more ;-)

Why, why, why do writers have to change a formula that works with shipping or unrealistic "character development"? Can't they see that's usually when the ratings drop?

hee, daniel is AWESOME! he's about my favorite character ever - even when he's being childish & stubborn he's completely awesome :D
& the h/c in this show is just fantastic, *happy sigh* i blame my love for these angsty-hurty things completely on sg1 and daniel jackson... he hurts just so prettily, *g*

karababe_64 December 15 2009, 00:01:08 UTC

It's partly those things that make him so awesome! :D

he hurts just so prettily I think that is the understatment of the year. I like me some h/c in general, but only Daniel!Whump has come close to my love of Tony!whump. For some weird reason (that I probably best leaving un-analysised) it completely turns me on :-)
