I am so very happy to have missed this little slice of misery, thus far, because that would annoy me. That's using "gen" as code for anti-gay.
That was the impression that I got, though I could be wrong. I understand that everyone has preferences, and I love that there are communities like jackslashdaniel or stargate slash where we can slash to our heart's content without having to justify it, and I'm sure there are shipper communities like that, too. I don't have a problem with that at all, but the above just seemed rather odd to me.
LOL! I don't consider myself gifted with words so hitting the nail today this often makes me pause to see if someone else has logged in and is posting as me.
hehe Yes, at least twice for me today. :-) I could ramble on for an hour and you said it in just a couple of sentences. :-)
Daniel stuff: In the beginning I also read anything Daniel, including Daniel/Sam or Daniel/Sha're, and even Daniel/Original Character. *g* It's just that after a while I realized that mostly didn't float my boat. I didn't like the way most het was written for whatever reason. This is nothing against it, but it just didn't ring true to me. It could just mean that my true bent is as a slasher. *g* I will still read Daniel/Sha're once in a while.
(Except with Vala, who I don't see as being more than superficially attractive to Daniel. Daniel/Vala feels like Jack/Sam to me: forced and false.)
Yes, that's how I see that, too.
The combo of loving both the interior and the exterior of the character is potent and I'll read a less well-written Daniel-centric story over a brilliant Jack story for that reason.
hehe And me too! This really surprises me, as I thought I was the only one who felt that way.
My interest in fanfic, too, is a sign that a show is not satisfying me. I adore BSG, for instance, but there's enough there that I'm not driven to find my fix elsewhere. SG-1, otoh, leaves so much that I want as "off screen" that fan fic has become my primary interest. I watch the show more for the eye candy and to keep up with events so that the fan fic makes sense. :)
I feel that way as well. I sometimes think that my obsession with a particular show stems from that. I watch Boston Legal and love it, but I don't feel a need to read fic about it. :-) My original obsession with SG-1 fic was (and sometimes still is) with episode tags (usually gen *g*) that help to fill in holes from episodes or things that I thought were missing from the characterizatons.
Hard feelings arise, it seems, because people can't accept that it's ALL good. Like whom you like; read what you like; stay away from what you don't like. Personally, I appreciate labels so that I can do just that.

Me too. I seem to be saying that a lot. *g*
