To Ship or Not to Ship
ephian
lurker for a while now. This ship vs. non-ship stuff seems pretty silly. I
expect a consistent, logical story told in an interesting manner. I like
character development (my only gripe is a sad lack of such for Sam), but I
don't want it to interfere with the story line. I want to see the story the
writers want to tell us.
And so saying, I guess I'm in the minority in saying that I dislike fan
fiction. I'm in the minority in my own household with regards to this, but
the thing is I want the story the writers give us and the actors bring to
life, not someone else's ideas. There are a lot of talented writers out
there who I would like to see to applying their talents to creating a new
world for all of us, not reworking the one that the Stargate writers
creating. OK, off my soapbox now.
