I've been reading on friendshipper and tipper's lj about how they got into sga.  It's so interesting to read the different accounts!  I discovered sga through my fifteen year old nephew.  To quote him, "Stargate Atlantis rocks!" 

I don't know what possessed me to buy that first season on dvd when all I'd seen were a few commercials and my nephew's rousing endorsement, but I did.  And I liked it, I really really liked it!  So much that I would watch the eps while playing on the computer at night.  The show just sucked me in.  I watched the entire first season, then I went and downloaded second season eps and season three was just starting.  I was hooked!  I kept watching and watching...and reading fanfic...and raving to my friends about it.  I managed to hook a couple close friends from my previous fandom into it.  And the attraction has never waned.

I don't write nearly as much as I did for my previous fandom, but I think that's because of the high level of respect I have for those who do write sga fic.  There are some amazing writers out there!

Anyway, I'm enjoying my playtime in sga land very much and I hope the excitement stays strong.  (it's been over a year now with no sign of diminishing)  And the awesome eps they've had so far on Season Four...OMG!!!!!  I'm still pinching myself.  It seemed like Sept 28th would never get here and now that it did, I can't believe how good everything is.  I'm not saying the show is without flaws, but the wonderful stuff they've presented so far outweighs any glitches.  All I can say about season four is, BRING IT ON!
