Here’s one more Fandom Secret:


This isn’t really a secret, but it feels like it.

I feel like I’ve spent a lot of time apologizing for my pairing preference over the years, which I know most of you would be the first to jump in and tell me is stupid, but the fact is that I have.  I was thinking about why that might be.  I decided that maybe I feel the need to keep quiet about the fact that I am an OTPer, like I might get kicked out of the club if anyone realized I’m not actually a multishipper, or the awesome gen people on my flist might wake up one day to one too many posts about my shipwhore preferences and say, “Geez, how did I never realize Annerb is totally one of those people before?”  I would like to think that I am open-minded and accepting of the wide spectrum of fabulous fandom we’ve got going here on LJ, and that should be enough without having to bend over backwards to make sure I don’t ever get mistaken for a rabid OTPer, like having an OTP is a crime.  No one *made* me feel this way either, it’s total self-censorship.

I still feel like squee.  So I’m going to indulge and share why I love my OTP so damn much.  Very, very image heavy.

I've been so swamped by real life and so out of touch with fandom lately, but I at least wanted to come back to this.

I guess I don't realy understand why you feel you should self-censor. Us gen folk or multishipper folk, whichever, don't have anything against people embracing their OTPs. I've had them for other shows, even. I think what irks us is when people don't even try to have an open-mind, insult us, belittle us, and make us feel like we're so obviously stupid and blind for being in denial.

Obviously, you don't treat fellow fans like that.

That's the difference.

So embrace your OTP. You deserve it :)

I love this "picture story"--it's just great! And I love Jack and Sam together (they're my OTP, too), as Team (with Daniel and Teal'c), in just about any form, actually.

I'm a shipper, and also a big fan of SG1 team and gen--when it's well written, and how lucky I am that this fandom has so many well written stories (including yours).

I just got an lj after wandering around in the fandom for nearly 3 years. May I friend you?

But of course! Friend away and welcome to LJ. We will do our best to corrupt you as soon as possible. :) If you ever want help navigating or finding comms or anything, feel free to ask! (sg1_debrief is a great comm for keeping track of what's going on in Stargate LJdom)

I'm glad you enjoyed my picspam, it was a lot of fun to make.

Loved it! Lol. I sooooo totally agree. I think I have an OTP problem myself *shifty eyes* Should I be admitting that?
