sholio: sun on winter trees (LoM-Sam Gene outside)
I haven't had another serious fan-addiction in the two years that I've been in SGA fandom. I've realized this because I'm currently in the middle of a full-blown, reading-every-fanfic, brain-swamped-with-plotbunnies Life on Mars addiction. No worries, I really don't see myself dropping out of the SGA fandom. I have too many stories to finish (including my Big Bang one with [livejournal.com profile] naye), and too much love, time and friendship invested in the fandom to just walk away; besides which, even if I do get a bit apathetic for a while, I have no doubt that Season 5 will refresh my interest. However, if I'm a bit scarce in SGA-land for a little while, it's because my brain has been taken over by the boys (and girls) of A-Division.

I'm also learning to use del.icio.us, since the launch into a new fandom seemed like a good time to explore its features. (The idea of trying to bookmark all the SGA fic I've read and enjoyed makes my brain explode -- there are 900 stories in my SGA fanfic stories folder on my hard drive, and those are just the ones I felt were good enough that I wanted to save them in case they ever disappeared off the Internet!) Anyway, the only thing that's given me a little trouble so far is that I'm so used to comma-delimited tags in LJ that I keep trying to separate my tags with commas and ending up with duplicate tags with commas on the end. Luckily that's easy to fix. My del.icio.us username is, of course, friendshipper if you want to watch me flail around trying to find a tagging system that makes it easy for me to go back and find stuff.

Also, a vid rec!

Devotion by [livejournal.com profile] cherryice
This is a stunningly gorgeous vid to "Devotion" by Tracy Chapman - season 1 footage, no major spoilers that I noticed. For me, at least, it does a really beautiful job of capturing the feeling of the series, of Sam's life and all of the characters' struggle to keep their soul and sanity intact in their violent world.

I had actually completely missed that I'd won "overall best" in the SGA fan awards until several people pointed it out in the comments of my last SGA post. I am such a dork. XD

... but, seriously, that just boggles me, in a stunned and blushing and really amazed kind of way. There are so many brilliant authors in this fandom that I would never have expected anything like this. Thank you, thank you, to all the voters and readers, everyone who nominated me and voted for me. (I'd also like to thank the Academy and my mother. XD) I've had a really wonderful time in this fandom so far, and, my last post notwithstanding, I don't expect to be wooed away from the Atlantis bunch anytime in the foreseeable future. (Though I may have a side dalliance here and there.)
