Interventions

[eruthros]

So I was having one of those conversations you have with fannish friends. You know. thingswithwings was telling me a story idea, and she said, god, what am I even doing, somebody's gonna stage an intervention any day now. And I, of course, pointed out that this was Stargate: Atlantis, and that you probably couldn't get an intervention for anything less than "the story in which Rodney and John sit in the office all day without talking to each other and just do paperwork," and perhaps not even then.

So, guys, what does it take to get an intervention in SGA? How far do you have to go?

Like, imagine your fannish friend who's been with you for the last three fandoms. You even bailed out of the X-Files at the same time! It has been so wonderful and lovely. But now she's gone a little bit off the rails in this wild and crazy SGA fandom.

No, but I think Mulder gets fired! It's almost like shunning, except for the part where it was a plot point in essentially every X-Files story ever.

Also, I think that fandom also needs another community, which will be for commentary on sgastoryfinders posts. Like, people will rush to post "new winner for weirdest post ever!" and will go there to ask such questions as "hi guys, I've looked back in the archive for a couple months but I didn't see anyone ask for it. does anybody have a link to the sgastoryfinders post where somebody asked for Punk's story about John walking into walls but thought John was really being abused?"

BEST META COMMUNITY EVER

YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT. Because seeing the scene that people think of as the money shot is almost as good as reading the original story!

I mean, I'm not innocent here -- I totally think of the mac&cheese scene in Alpha Centauri as the money shot, and eventually had to tag it as such on delicious.
