The amount of love the Stargate fandom has for background characters is so funny to me. But we’re right

To the people in the OTW Tumblr Inbox asking about how the OTW is responding to the American Election.

This is a separate post (and not a response to a specific message) because we all need to see it.

Folks have been asking Support (through the form) as well as the other social media mods, and we have now been given the following to tell you.

We've seen a fair bit of worry/scaremongering about this in the past week, so it's great to hear a clear response directly from the OTW. The first paragraph in particular is a good thing for fans to understand—bills like KOSA (already in progress) and whatever might come next are specifically aimed at commercial sites.

We strongly second supporting the orgs that have been preparing for a Trump win, especially the EFF (Elizabeth was their keynote speaker a few months ago, and they are very interested in working more with fans). They're obviously going to have a massive number of things to balance in the coming years—including very grave threats around privacy and security that Americans should be worrying about first and foremost—but protecting free expression on the internet will remain one of their priorities.

Working on my novel and couldn’t figure out why it felt so empty. I didn’t have any filler. It was all 100% plot. The characters only interacted when necessary. I didn’t prattle on about the scenery or how the birds sounded. I had all my fuller stuff that I loved saved in another file because I “didn’t need it”.

Y’all, I knew this existed in TV shows but it didn’t hit me until this that everything is being whittled down. We are so starving for filler that we snap up anything. I unload all mine on Tumblr or keep it in a massive Google Docs. It SUCKS.

Honestly? Death to plot necessity. Revive filler. Revive unnecessary interactions. Revive just vibing with characters sometimes. I don’t want to just consume the plot and I don’t want to just create the plot either.
