My forever fandom, OG Stargate SG1.
It's team as family - dysfunctional family. It's heroes in this world without superpowers, people like me (only bet-ter!) who have to make horrible decisions and carry the weight of the world. It's many different people coming together to make it work. It's clever, commanding Jack O'Neill, questioning, sincere Daniel Jackson, brilliant, stubborn Samantha Carter, and strong, guarded Teal'c. It's Hammond of Texas and Master Bra'tac who calls earthlings footstools. It's a tale of human loss, grief, and how friendship can heal wounds. It's aliens and time travel and ingenuity. This show grew, it expanded, it told stories about slavery and trafficking, sacrifice, and standing your ground even in the face of your best-loved friend putting himself on the Other Side.
It's Jack and Daniel. At the heart of it - two very different men who argued and fought and laughed and always had each other's backs. They MADE IT WORK.
Stargate SG1 gave me my non-blood sisters in this world. My chosen family. We still do rewatches, we argue about the meanings behind words, the trivia that no one else notices. We love each other across the miles, over oceans, and pray for struggling children and aging parents. We are different and are anchored by love. Just like SG1.
Give some stories a try. Watch some episodes. For those of you who have lived within the Stargate fandom at one time, warmed by the virtual hugs and nourished by the cookies, come back! Read, leave kudos, send some encouraging feedback. And WRITE. Write a short piece that has been on your mind for years. A tag that you always wanted to see. A behind the scenes snippet. Give us the gift of your fannish heart - vid, art, anything you love.
We're still here. We're still watching and listening.

ETA: Also, like, SG never relied on "young" actors or whatever anyway, most of SGA crew is meant to be 30s++ so aging wouldn't be an issue at all like it would be for other shows.
