Challenge #3: Write a love letter to fandom. It might be to fandom in general, to a particular fandom, favourite character, anything at all. 

For me, Stargate gets credited with a lot of good things in my life, from survival to my best friend. I was definitely sure I was bisexual after watching Stargate, and definitely sure I loved writing after writing Stargate fanfiction, and I pretty much only have good memories, even at the worst of times. 

The godmother to my children, I met on LiveJournal because she read my fanfic and we connected. This was twenty years ago. We're still friends to this day. When I was in the hospital with haemolytic anaemia, she would come to visit me from her city (I was in the next city over) with her laptop so we could watch the new episodes of Atlantis together. We created an entire AU together. 

During the worst of my depression, there was still Stargate. It wasn't perfect, but neither am I.

And I have a lot of tattoos some from fandom, a nug from Dragon Age, Reepicheep, Lion from Steven's universe, Psyduck, Snoopy, and the Earth address from Stargate down the back of my right calf.
