OMG, I'm SO glad I stumbled upon your journal not a week ago, because I've never seen these two gems before, and just a thought that I could have missed them! I knew my fandom was crazy, and ridiculous, and outright insane sometimes, but that just capped it. I have 3 stories in my mind from a year ago when I just started reading SGA, that I'd like to find someday, and two of them I remember for sexual situations, one for the first line. Oh yeah, I fit right in.
About that storyfinders analysis community that you discussed with annakovsky - an enthusiastic YES with both hands! I'm just the right kind of insane and a geek for this fandom to be my natural habitat, so I always want to see more meta numbers about fics, authors, readers, etc. My blue dream is to organize fandom population census with like 50 pages of questions.
On serious note, if it's not too much trouble, maybe you could point me in the direction of real statistics for fanfiction (preferably SGA fandom, but others will do, too), and if it's been done psychological analysis of said statistics? I think that's what interests me most - what fanfiction preferences tell about people in general and a person in particular (be it an author or a reader).
Fun fact: I bookmarked those poems on Delicious, and the server supplied "recycle" for Recommended tags.
