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. :)

Now we need a new icon: Jonas=guacamole! He may be mushy and weird and green, but he's really good! :D
Regarding S9-10 - eh, you may have noticed a certain... dearth in posts and/or fic that include Vala and Mitchell. Rest assured that's for a reason. Nonetheless, I'm happy for those who find squee in those late seasons (even if I'm definitely not one of them!)

I don't take issue with not liking something that I like--I may disagree, but different strokes and all of that. I just want to have at least the common reference of everyone having seen the subject in question.
And I'm really sorry to keep piling on about this. You've sort of become the poor, unfortunate stand-in for somebody else I know who is quite happy to talk expansively about one that she hates. She's never seen it--because she knows she'll hate it. And maybe she will, but it makes discussion about it impossible because it's very frustrating to try to say what you like about something to another person who not only loudly professes hatred, but won't give it a chance in the first place.
*ahem* And that was far too much about me and absolutely not about you. And now I'm a little embarrassed.

I skipped the two non-Daniel early S10 eps, if it makes you feel any better...?
Aurora has slowly coaxed me into seeing a few S6 eps, including the one whose official name I forget but is really called "Bra'tac and Jacob are too awesome for words." And a few others, too. So slowly, I suppose, I'll get there. Eventually. Even if I have to be dragged kicking and screaming all the way. :)
