Your list of female characters and the way they've been either marginalized or written off the show entirely is very telling. Coupled with Sci-Fi's decision to chuck SGA in favor of a Gate-verse show they feel will attract the teenage boys, I'm feeling very pissed off on that score as of late.
(This is totally an aside that has little to do with the convo at hand, but I am also not chuffed that this new Gate-verse show is apparently mostly a cast of younglings. One of the things that I really enjoy about SGA is that everybody is a grownup (even if they don't always act like it *g*). Most of the characters are at least 35 and many are even older than that. Who will take me to the prom is thankfully never going to be a plot point on the show. Who knows about this new incarnation?)
And now, personal life aside. Your summer does sound incredibly busy. I hope your father is well. And performances! Troupe! Excitement! Are you an actor?
Re: your participation or lack thereof. I hesitated in making this post because I didn't want anyone to think I was pointing the finger at them or calling them out. Because we all have really legitimate reasons for not participating in X aspect of fandom. And as busy as I am right now, I am the last person to condemn anybody for having more important stuff going on. I think what I meant to say, and probably articulated poorly, is that I totally get Individual Fan's reason for not participating in any given week. I have a harder time getting 69 fan's reasons for not participating every week. Does that make sense?
Discussions do always stay open! Posts never close. In fact, we sometimes do get comments on fics way after the fact, so feel free to comment on an old post and I will definitely announce that again in the comm the next mod post I make.
And I will definitely pimp in the comms you've listed for the stories that will fit into those categories. Thank you.
