The Stargate Fan Awards really are open for nominations now. We have until December 31st. Once you've logged in (or created an account), the site is easily navigated. I'm having some personal trouble with some of the coloring for the text boxes, but I've dropped the SGA team a note and I hope to see that revised soon.

So far, I've nominated six vids. I can see this is going to be an ongoing process... so yeah, better to get started now. :) I've bookmarked the "Manage My Nominations" page, which should help.

And now for some meta, because believe it or not, I really do have another Canon vs. Fanon in the works!

While skimming some S6 transcripts (heh, how else can I do S6 research...?), I discovered a most interesting exchange in Memento:

Jonas: How many planets have SG-1 been to?

Teal'c: One hundred thirty three.

So, after nearly six years, they've been to 133 planets. That comes out, in average, to about 22 planets a year. Now, contrast that with Mitchell's pride in 200 about his 200th time through the Stargate... Hmm. Even with the obvious conclusion that Mitchell isn't counting missions but event horizons, aren't those numbers just a little out of proportion?

I think I'm going to sneak this little factoid into the next Canon vs. Fanon, which will be about offworld, because many fanfic writers have the team Gating out weekly at a minimum, if not even more frequently than that. A list of 133 planets (and I adore Teal'c for having that information effortlessly at his fingertips) contradicts that rather strongly. Unless, of course, you suggest that Teal'c was making up a number at random - but the timing seems wrong for that kind of thing, and as far as I can tell, Teal'c did not have that kind of "straight man" relationship with Jonas. If I'm wrong about that, I'd appreciate correction from those of you that have actually watched S6. :)

ETA: I have now edited the subject of this post and the tags to reflect that this has essentially turned into a canon vs. fanon debate. As always, my flist rocks. :)
