A late entry for bizarre comment of the year...

[graculus]

How to show you have little to no understanding of how fandom works in one easy lesson:

"All I've been reading about the last couple of days is Ben Browder so I suppose Jack and Daniel or original team stories will very soon be a dying genre. All the good fanfic writers will only be writing stories about the new kid on the block."

*tries not to laugh*

Yes, like everyone stopped writing team and Jack/Daniel when Michael Shanks left the show and suddenly there was a rash of Jonas fic from everyone as we all promptly forgot who that Daniel guy was and heartily embraced tptb's new kewl handsome hunk. Probably in some other mirror universe of our own, maybe, but not this one...

Of course, those of us who're not J/D OTP are less thrown by this possibility, I think, as the loveliness that is Daniel/Teal'c should also continue unabated... mmmm... :)

The only thing that might even remotely tempt me into SG...

Our fandom is on crack. Big time.

Life changes. If fic writers decide to pair Daniel with (enter new character's name here), if it is good and hot I will read it. I will always love Daniel and Jack together, but I can read good fic about almost any pairing.

Oy. Comments like that make my brain hurt. Almost as much as all the fuss from the adolescents when shows are cancelled -- "oh my god, the fandom is *doomed*!!" Well, of course it is, dearie. Think nothing of the fact that MFU is going strong 40 years later...not to mention S/H and Pros. ::sigh::

Honestly, after the way things have gone on SG-1 during the past several years, I've had to resort to thinking of all J/D stories I read as having taken place in an alternate universe anyway -- you know, one in which the characters actually like each other and exhibit some chemistry together -- so this will just strengthen that habit. Makes me long for all those nice cancelled shows where canon is set in stone and TPTB cannot continue to break your heart on a weekly basis...
