Spank Me Rosy!

MGM has a poll on its official Stargate website to determine our favorite SLASH pairing in SGA. *grasps heart and staggers* Yay!

Thanks to suzvoy and nialla42 for the head's up.

Megan is, but I'm bowing out this year in deference to the heat and humidity lol. What about you?

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

I'm definitely going. I had a great time last year. :) I understand the heat and humidity. They sent a poll around asking if maybe the parade should be moved to a better time of year (I know that June is Pride Month but how about 1st Saturday in June, yanno?). Hopefully future parades will be earlier.

I have not forgotten our planned get together on 21 July. Since you won't be at the parade, I'll have to meet you for dinner. This weekend is bad for us, anyway and next weekend is also full (Pride) but after that things settle down a little. Joe and I are supposed to be coordinating our calendars to take some time off but we haven't.

Joe's car show went very well. He's exhausted but he has another show this Saturday and then the city's big July 4 bash. I suspect we'll be taking time off round about that party of yours. I can hardly wait!

Wheeee :) Let's try for a couple of weekend from now, then, k? :D I miss you!

I'm kind of shocked that you can even figure out what I was writing. I really have to stop commenting while talking on the phone and composing e-mails. *shakes head* When I was a kid, I couldn't speak nearly as fast as I could read so I would read out loud by skipping whole groups of words. I read them all and understood it, but it was gibberish as I read. Must remember to thank Mom for her patience next time I see her.

I think I still have that problem but now it's in composing: stringing together sentences outside my head in a way that they make sense seems to elude me.

A couple of weekends from now it is. :) I look forward to it and to hearing all about your vacation.

WTF? I wonder how the 'phobes are feeling right about now. ;)

But... where the hell was this interest in taking a Slash poll when SG-1 was still operating? *is disgusted*

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

I am happily surprised by this turn of events. And yeah, my reaction was also, "Where were they when it was all about SG-1?" But then I figured the slash pairing for SG-1 is pretty much J/D. More so, I think, than McShep is in SGa. So maybe they didn't need a poll? ;-)

I know, I'm a Pollyanna.

So maybe they didn't need a poll?

LOL Word.

And no, not a Pollyanna. A person who sees the (late) fairness in what should have been there already. :)

[bluemeridian]

Don't know why for the poll and don't really care.

*GOES*

Maybe they're seeing how many people vote? They assume McShep, but wanna know how large that contingent is? Maybe they just want website traffic?

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

*shakes LJ* Maybe a comment e-mail will fallout. Sorry; I didn't know you'd commented here.

I think it's an experiment to see if slash references up their site traffic. If so, it definitely worked for me because the first time I ever visited was to vote. :) Now, if they'd treat it as a normal option for 'shipping, I'll be going back time and again.

[bluemeridian]

Heh. Quite all right as I was gone for a week anyway. :P

It certainly seems like there's a large enough contingent that it could but it's still so rare to see anything official acknowledge there might be something other than heterosexual chemistry on any show. If they're going to continue writing such lame parts for women, chances are I'm gonna continue predominantly slashing characters into a relationship context.

I think it was the Window of Opportunity commentary where Peter DeLuise and someone else said of Jack and Sam, "Beautiful woman. Great looking guy. Of COURSE they're going to have chemistry!" ...Riiiight. I couldn't decide whether to be completely annoyed or just scarred for life.
