Welcome to GateWorld Forum! If this is your first visit, we hope you'll sign up and join our Stargate community. If you have questions, start with the FAQ. We've been going strong since 2004, are we are glad you are here.
I wasn't planning to post tonight...as a result of the interviews was thinking of taking a major break to get a tad of perspective back, as Tame did not so long ago. And I'm considering decreasing my attention to this fandom, for the very reasons you have put forth...TPTB don't care about the ship, why am I beating MY head (and voice and fingers typing) against the wall. Heck, right now I'm SUPPOSED to be studying a book for a course that I have to pass before my next promotion...in the RL, where the bills need to be paid, the kids need to be taken to school and swim team and the only ship I experience is the maternal kind between my boys and myself. Perhaps TPTB would prefer that I turn off my tv and computer and refocus a lot more on work and family...that's the impression I'm getting. As silly as I get, I have no (real) delusions, I know it's just a television show...great entertainment, but fictional just the same.
But, But, BUT, I truly, madly, deeply (that was a movie!) enjoy logging on to GW/Shipper thread and reading everyone's posts and smiling at the gifs (knowing I will someday figure out how to do them) and seeing how everyone is...I WANT to know if Ship Daddy finds his perfect job, how Caty's vacations are, when Lisa finishes her internship, whether wynter will get married after all, if mad gater goes back on his medications ....for me, it's become more than just Sam and Jack, I have really enjoyed getting to know everyone's personality through their oh-so-articulate rants, raves and cookie selections .
Did I have a point? Yes, I know, it's usually hard to find at the best of times.... In spite of the cruelty (no other word for it) of TPTB, I won't ever regret having found this forum and thread.
But I also need a break. After reading a bit more tonight, I'll stay off the forum for a week or so and will be suitably punished by having to read 80 pages of posts when I return .
PTB lurkers: do you want more fans turning away entirely? Yes, it's ultimately your decision which way the ship sails....it's ultimately my decision whether the channel is tuned to scifi and SG1.
Di
My Friend.....(((((((((((((Di)))))))))))))))
I thought about taking a break as well, but then I would have to leave you guys. And that's not acceptable! We are here for each other whether it's RL or Stargate. It is disheartening to hear the way Season 8 is shaping up. If TPTB would only give us something solid, there would be no end to the joy that would be heard in every nook and cranny of the internet! The decompression of all the shippers would cause a worldwide wind disaster.
What I'm trying to say, Di, is stay with us if you can. Tomorrow is another day. (I know. I couldn't resist) I have had the blues, but now I'm ready and willing to fight for my right to ship! (I gotta stop. This is not coming out right )
*quick while no one is looking, edit those posts. *
((((((Token))))) Yes, pass the cookies! I think they'll work now. They weren't before Joe posted. Not even my nice beverage could take off the edge. I'm in a much better state now and even though I'd like to stay mature about it-- to those other fans that were enjoying our pain.
Anyway, everyone it's time for another shipper hug !
All I have to say is don't jump to conclusions. Or, more precisely, jump to small conclusions - but don't assume that they'll necessarily lead to a big conclusion. Or, better yet - watch all of season 8 before you start consider giving away all your wordly possessions and moving into a commune in Southern California. Its going to be a rollercoaster year for our gang.
All I can hear is Daniel saying, "He's so deep you will be lucky to understand him."
Since I'm not good at deep thought, I'll take that you posted here as a positive sign. But I must say, "worldly possessions?" Blood out of a turnip. "Southern California?" This shipper isn't leaving Texas! "Rollercoaster?" Yep, we figured. But we are strapped in tight.
BTW....If you post more (in the Shipper Thread, of course), you won't be a Prim'tah for long.
