Missed the Saturday Dance by zoetrope. Go, go, go, I don't care if you don't like SGA omg. It's like -- it's something between Griffin and Sabine and a movie site. I'm sitting here going WOW WOW WOW.

I love fandom SO MUCH.

While it is amazing and I've enjoyed poking at it for a few minutes, I simply can't read stories straight off a computer screen. That is the least comfortable way for me to attempt fanfic. Particularly when I don't know the length of the story. I love au's and hope there's a text version at some point.

The actual story is not that long; there are 35 screens (numbers go to 36 but #19 is skipped apparently without losing any of the story), but a number are photos/art, so the actual text is much less. What may be more problematical than length for you, however, is that several screens of text are presented as letters and rendered in script that does not respond to increased font size for reading as the letters are jpgs. The small font coupled with script made it very difficult for me to read the letters comfortably.

The overall presentation as a multimedia experience is excellent. If just the text for Missed the Saturday Dance was collected, without the accompanying photos, art, sounds, and trailer, I don't think it would hold up very well. The text of the story alone is slight; it's the accompanying extras that make it exceptional.

That's sad. The story should be enhanced by the bells and whistles, not the other way around.

Well, yes and no. Not to sound too much like a post-modern cultural relativist (as I am most assuredly NOT one) but it depends on if the intent was to to tell a story via text or to produce a multimedia experience in which the story text was but one element

This whole fandom has done nothing but make me want to be better and more, and I'm ridiculously grateful.

That was a great multi-media experience. Thanks for the rec!

It's really an amazing piece of work. Thanks for pointing it out -- because I'm not "in the fandom" -- but this, THIS, is special.
