a nice pair of warm, fluffy socks

So, I was a dingbat this morning and walked out the door without my work lappy.

Cue having to drive back home - fortunately, a trip of only about 30 mins instead of the 2 hours it takes some people in Sydney. However, I'm now working from home, all comfy in tracky-daks, Curse Your Sudden But Inevitable Betrayal t-shirt, warm jacket...and birthday socks from sjhw_tolerance in blue with red toes and ankle cuffs.

Thanks, Sue!

SGA Alternative Fandom Guide?

There are several discussions going on at skieswideopen's journal regarding an Alternative Guide To SGA Fandom - a non-comprehensive one that fills in the sections that tend to get left out in the very McShep-oriented overall fandom.

I've already offered to help put together links and suchlike for meta about Teyla and John/Teyla, but I could always do with help and assistance, and the Alternative Guide could certainly do with more people to help put pages together. Minor characters! Female characters! Aiden Ford!

There's presently a discussion taking place regarding whether the Alternative Guide should include McShep or not.

My vote is 'no', simply because there are plenty of McShep-oriented guides out there by passionate McShep fans that will enable a newcomer to SGA to navigate whatever kink or area that they prefer. Most of them barely mention anything other than John, Rodney, and John/Rodney centric works, and their perception of the other characters, pairings, and works by fans not in the McShep-oriented part of fandom tends to be sketchy at best.

I'd like to see the Alternative Guide cover the sections of fandom that haven't already been covered and which will never be covered by the various 'Definitive Guides' that poke their heads up, or which get swamped by McShep simply because there is such a preponderance of McShep in SGA fandom.
