Honestly, I didn't know that you had an active LJ account, and I'm sorry your experience was less than satisfactory. It happens, I guess.
There are people on the net who think they don;t have to offer others that same kind of respect.
Yep, I;m in there somewhere, Izzy... I opened an LJ profile about 3 yrs ago but didn;t get very far with it, though - I thought the people there were way too scary!sigpicThanks to Draco-Stellaris for the gorgeous Todd avatar

Originally posted by Todd's Pet View PostPlease correct me if I;m wrong, but that's certainly how I felt and the reason why I went so long without posting in the WDC - even to the point of unsubscribing the thread for a week or so
I;m happy to see we've coming to an accord again and might be able to get back some of that wonderful diversity
I'm also hoping to get the diversity back, or I would not have bothered to post so much. As I said, I don't want WDC to be a zero-sum game, rather an ever-growing one. All aspects of the Wraith convos should add to the diversity and not displace others.

Also, there are a lot of frustrations being vented in here that have nothing to do with Legacy, but from all over the Wraith threads. Leeta summed up very well the feedback I've heard on those issues and hopefully we can all be more cognizant of them and make one another feel valued.

I feel unwelcome because of some hypocritical members, not because of the Legacy books.sigpic

I didn`t post here for long time. Real life is hard. And most free time I spend with my dragons. I will have 2 weeks holiday in December and I will try to read all yours fanfic and check dA artworks.
I am not able to talk on scientific topics, but I like to read all posts.
All theories about Wraith are interesting for me.
Nothing special, but on one of my games there is pumpkin contest and I made Wraithy pumpkin:

Originally posted by orbofnight View PostI'm thinking the recurrent nature of the convos was because the issue was never fully addressed before, that being because people were still in various stages of reading the books. It is sounding like people are coming to understandings about where we are all coming from and wanting all things Wraith-related to stay here.

Originally posted by Todd's Pet View PostCiannwn, I think you;re missing the point entirely...
Originally posted by Leeta View PostThere's also been some really good fan fic's written and fan art created lately, but it feels like only one, maybe two, people actually pay attention to other peoples work. Up until recently, I've always tried to read people's fan fics and commented on their art works. I personally began to feel fed up with certain members on this when they showed that they only cared about certain wraith artists on DA and made other wraith artists feel like their work wasn't good enough. Maybe this was unintentional, but this is the impression some of them have given. I am not the only one who feels this way.
Originally posted by Todd's Pet View PostI can only express my own opinion here, but I htink it may be close to what others have been feeling. People are NOT getting upset about the diversity of likes and dislikes and discussions on WDC - just the opposite, as it;s that very diversity that I used to like so much about the WDC.
What;s been upsetting and frustrating is that feeling of being actively excluded... almost like that scene in the school playground where you walk over to join a group of friends, but they all turn away and stand shoulder-to-shoulder in order to keep you out of the game
Spoiler:I find the Teyla/Sheppard relationship sub plot really dull and wish they'd find a potted plant and get it over with. SGA fans who are Teyla/Sheppard shippers will be loving these parts of the books, though.
Originally posted by Todd's Pet View PostI can see now that this was not intended, but never theless, people were obviously getting that vibe, such that they felt posting auctions or fics or pics would have been an unwanted and unwelcome "interruption" of the Legacy discussion - and most improtantly, a discussion with little or no dissention.
Unreleased video footage and production pics would have provided us with something new to talk about and thunk over. A big WDC tradition was naming newly discovered Wraith - maybe the production pics includes one which new members can name. Auction items have been another source of discussion and speculation. Sadly, because some people felt they were unwelcome, these things didn't get posted so there wasn't much to talk about other than the Legacy books.
