I wanted to get this finished in time for the last episode of SG1. I, um, didn't. (I know you're shocked.) And you may wonder why I bothered to write up an introduction post for a show that a) has been around for 10 years and b) is now over

Well. I could easily believe that Vala has recreational underpants. Or underpants that serve as a secret storage location for contraband. Just - she does not seem the type for, you know, the kind that function only and solely as underpants.
(Or maybe that leather stuff you sometimes see caps of her in - maybe that's her underwear. It would make sense. I mean, why bother with all the hassle of multiple layers?)

This is supported by canon - we have seen her in red undergarments, trying the "Oops, did I accidentally get into your bed by mistake? Gosh, silly me! Well, never mind!" routine on Daniel.
Whether she bothers with underpants the rest of the time remains a mystery.

YES. PRECISELY. Evil Lego of shudder.
By substances they also mean cooked food, I think.
Oh, most definitely. Also all carbohydrates (POISON!), so they would never consider eating a potato.
I mean, I love raw veggies as much as - and often quite a bit more than - the next girl. But sometimes I want to put my species' acquisition of fire to good use, okay?
But, you know, I'm fine with whatever people want to eat, as long as they do not expect me to cater to their more extreme food weirdnesses. (My motto is: if you have more than five separate restrictions on your diet, you should probably bring your own food.) But when they lecture me on my eating habits, I get somewhat less fine, and when they start describing in detail their colonic cleansings, I get very much less than fine. I DON'T NEED TO KNOW. Some things shouldn't be shared!
Selected other good guys:Ooo, I like your selected other good guys. I was trying to keep the length down, as it got somewhat unwieldy, but you're absolutely right that ( ... )

I needed this kickstart to my day. Thank you.
Better still, you rec'd stuff I haven't read yet! And provided reclist links I didn't have!
I consumed the entirety of SG canon in three months. I have the big stuff down. But the details can be kinda sketchy. I know Martouf, but I didn't know who you meant by "the guy with the banana" until you mentioned team 1.5, and then I was all *facepalm* because duh. Jonas Quinn ate all the damn time (seriously, in one episode, he spent the entire episode eating. Even dipping fries in his chocolate shake). Yes, he's an alien. But you knew that, right?
So, big gold star for tfv today. :)
(and damn. I still owe you a MacGyverish drabble.)

Thank you!

I am scarred forever by this knowledge. FOREVER. Oh my god EW. *shudders*
I consumed the entirety of SG canon in three months.
I heard a rumor that, when Ben Browder got the job, he consumed the entire SG canon then existing in like two weeks. I have never been so impressed with an actor's devotion to duty. Or the durability of his eyeballs. And brain.
I still owe you a MacGyverish drabble.
You're very busy, and I'm very patient, so no worries at all. The drabble will come when it comes.

This is true. But he'd been watching the show already, with his kids, I think, because despite the hot body and movie-star looks and shiny brain, Ben is a big old geek. It's (one of the reasons) why we love him so.
I think I'm more sad about Ben and Claudia not working together anymore because of the cancellation than I am the cancellation itself...

splash-the-cat has a bunch of themed rec sites that get into the S/J, as well as threesomes, apocafic, and Sam. nandamai also recs stuff that includes S/J.

And, oo, thank you for the recs of recs sites. I have no handle on the het side of this fandom, so I couldn't even evaluate the few sites with het recs that google found for me. This is useful information!

I recommend consulting surrealphantast, for she is wise in the ways of the het, and also the OT3/4. Her journal is like an oasis of sanity where the slashers and the hetters and the big multi-shipping whores and even the gen people may meet and frolic and rec together, as demonstrated here.
She's got recs in her fic journal memories here.
Also, she can explain it all with diagrams.

It's funny to see the show through the eyes of someone who hasn't seen any actual episodes. Fandom through fan fiction gives you a unique perspective. In this case fandom is actually closer to canon than a newbie might believe ("Daniel dies a lot? Yeah right!").

This is very true. I try to remain alert for fanon, but it's always a challenge. (It's a fun challenge, though. Like a puzzle, figuring out the canon by triangulating from fan fiction and fanon.) But I do think that one of the reasons that this FIHL took forever to finish was that, well, I haven't seen any of the canon. So this is truly just an intro to the fandom. And I kept trying to explain stuff and then I realized - I don't understand this! I don't know it! I can't possibly explain it to others. So I'm afraid it probably looked, um, a little crazed to someone who actually already knows this stuff.
