Yes, SGA fandom does annoy me as much as it probably seems. :)
The difficulty is that the fandom has a limited say when it comes to the stories that I want to write. Ultimately, my energies go towards writing the stories of characters that captivate me. As such, the Atlantis characters have me trapped (so to speak) writing their stories, even if the fandom has more-than-sufficient capacity to piss me off on a regular basis.
For me, fandom is never about the fandom; fandom is about my opportunity to write and write and write some more. The feedback, nominations, awards - whatever - is nice, but ultimately I. Must. Write. And I'll do it with or without the approval of 99% of the fandom - or in the face of frustration with 99% of the fandom.
When the inspiration to write fades, that's ultimately when I drift away.
So I'm afraid the Atlantis fandom is stuck with me - at least for the moment.
