Thank You

I've been thinking about this for the past week or so - since we flew back from Vancouver, really. We were on the plane and popped in some Stargate. Lost City to be exact. And it just suddenly hit me how much I love this show. Like, I can't even really articulate it. I atually got all teary and almost started crying at one point. I know, I'm a dork. Shut up. :-) I don't know if it was just some combination of all the excitement from that weekend and watching one of the greatest episodes ever, but it just totally overwhelmed me how awesome Stargate is. It honestly is a really amazing show. I know years from now when all the actors have moved on and all we have are the DVDs, I know I'll still watch them. Some rainy Saturday afternoon, I'll pull out the box sets and pop in The First Ones or Children of the Gods or Heroes and just lose myself in the story and the characters and the acting.

I just, really fucking love Stargate. Ya know?

And I so wish I could do something to thank them all and tell them how much I appreciate all their hard work. But I have no idea what that could even be. And that kind of frustrates me a little. How do you tell a production like that THANK YOU? I wish I knew what I could do.

And the actors are all so amazing. It's refreshing and nice to see that they are all so nice and real when you meet them. Cos you read all these stories about actors being assholes to their fans and how stupid that is. But you just really get the sense from so many of them that as much as we appreciate what they do, the appreciate us right back. For supporting them and giving them the opportunity to be part of something so amazing. Cos without all the fans, there wouldn't be a show.

And to all of you - my friends - so many of you I never would have met if it wasn't for this show.

Erin - you are such an amazingly fantastic person it amazes me. You are who you are and you make no apologies for it. You are so strong and you can do anything you want. And you are! I admire that so much and every day I try a little harder to be like that. I love you, hon. *Mwah!*

Bling, Hats, Deeds, Jilly, DJF and all the other Hussies - we've had so much fun thunking over Daniel and anazlyzing his quirks and traits. Debating the every important topic of boonie vs. bandana or no headgear! It was always such a blast! And those of you that I've had the pleasure to meet in person - I'm constantly astounded by how warm and friendly everyone is. In this crazy world of cliques and bitching, I'm so glad we can all come together and have our own little family of wackiness where we can be as crazy and fangirly as we want and no one will judge us. Because they all understand.

PM, CKO, AG and all the folks from RP - I can't thank you enough for bringing me into your wacky world! I've had so much fun playing Davis and Riley and Frank the Wraith. There's never a dull moment over there. Especially if Sera's around!

And to everyone else - all the writers and vidders and graphic makers - thank you for sharing your amazing talents with us. And please don't stop. There will always be more stories to tell.

So, how do you say Thank You for all that? For not just producing an amazing show, but for giving us all a new family and new friends to embrace. I'm truly blown away by the love and acceptance there is in this fandom. I know, we're not perfect. But seeing some of the other stuff that's out there, Stargate fans are top notch.

Thank you, Stargate. For ten wonderful years of adventures. And new friends and family.
