:D:D Clearly you've forgotten, that's what I do.;)
No one does whump like you do. NO ONE.
::bows to you:: I'm unworthy of your praise, my dear.:)
You know, you're really not too bad at this SG1 fic writing gig. Why did you ever give it up? Tell me again?
Ya know, I was all set to give you a fluffy answer here and point out "sex on a horse" and "bareskin rugs" and "gods in tight leather pants" and horses and beautiful scenery and supply delicious pictures -- but I decided to give you a more serious answer.
Part of it, of course, is just the natural progression of life. People change and grow, and when you're in a different place, something different speaks to your muse, your spirit of adventure, your needs. Xena is something I loved before I ever saw Stargate (the series, at least), something that not only has powerful associations from a very significant time in my life, but which speaks to something that's always been in me, one of my inherent archetypes, I suppose.
I needed the wildness of it, the fresh air, the freedom. I needed out of the metal and concrete and fluorescent lights of the SGC or the Prometheus onto Argo (Xena's horse) riding full tilt across open fields, past clear water with sun on my skin and wind in my hair. I needed hair!:D Long and wild hair. I needed the passion and the darkness that was neglected on Stargate (in canon).
But most of all, I really didn't like what happened on Stargate in the last couple of seasons. Not that there wasn't some good there, too, there was, but for my primary storyline, they really took away what I loved and kind of...messed with my vision of it. And truthfully, having now been away from it for a while, I can actually go back and look at the classic stuff and kind of see what I loved again, without the later stuff having tainted it, as long as I don't let my mind wander.
I certainly don't anticipate returning to Stargate as my primary fandom or anything, but I hope to be able to dabble in it again.:) For the record, my Amanda love hasn't diminished much. She's not my primary "muse" at the moment, but I still deeply adore her. It was Stargate that lost me. That's why Sanctuary has been inspiring for me, lately. She's getting to shine again, FINALLY, and it's reminding me why I loved her on Stargate.
That's WAY more than you ever wanted to know, isn't it...;)
You da' bomb of angst. Oh yeah.
Thank you ever so.:) (Hey, I'm listed as Queen of Angst on the Xena boards, too...some things never change...*g*)
And thanks for all the love and ego boosting all these years!!
