Dear Stargaters (or whatever you call yourselves):
I am really happy that you've found BSG. Really. More people, more fun, more meta for the GD. It's ALL GOOD. Feel free to look around, read some fic, rec some fic, make some icons.
If you try to use your STUPID TERMS with their STUPID MEANINGS (ie, I'm talking about the BIZARRE AND FREAKISH habit of ship = het)* then there is going to be some serious arse-kicking. In this fandom, 'ship' has no connotations of sexual preferences attached. I will draw diagrams if I have to.
Regards, and welcome to the fandom,
Pen
* apparently, in Stargate fandom one can say "I ship" to mean that one writes het, as opposed to "I slash" meaning that one writes slash. If you are a shipper, it does not refer to the fact that you ship people, it refers to the fact that you write/read het. It will only cause us DOOM and ANGST.
