I really think SG-1 fandom came to me at a time where I was defining my interests in terms of storytelling as a writer. So it's been a huge influence over me in what I expect in terms of type of story and how that relates to romance, especially when I see how poorly SG-1 does romance.
Before SG-1, I didn't know any of these terms. I've always been a canon whore, though. So I would watch my shows and go with canon. Most of the time I was drawn to the pairing of choice for the show, but that wasn't always the case. I remember not really liking the romantic set up on Sliders. But even then, I watched Tv for the show and not for shipping.
In fact, one of the reasons why I held off watching SG-1 for so long was that I saw a clip of an episode and was like, oh nice. Another show that has to have two of the main characters hook up. Pass.
I think for many of us it really depends on the context and content of the show. :)
I still have type up my Dark Angel S2 thoughts. Talk about a yo-yo season.
I mostly call myself gen, but not always. That clarify things?

Absolutely not ;)
