I have what is probably an odd question. What is this obsession with penguins in the Stargate fandom? I've seen it from all quarters of the fandom for fans of both shows and of various ships. It's just something I've seen occasionally.

You mean like making a character in an SGA fic a vampire? That I don't know. I'm not a fan of making characters into vampires when the show has nothing to do with vampires. Although I am a fan of a few vampire TV shows. I'm not sure I can give you a solid reason for why I like those shows though. I'll have to think about that.

Jumping in here to say that I've never really got the whole idea of vampire fic either...Vampire anything has never really appealed to me actually, BUT the other day I read a Jack/Ianto fic where Ianto is a vampire, because one of my fave fanfic writers wrote it and OMG it was soooo good.
Still can't see the appeal of vampire fic for most fandoms, but it definitely worked in this case and it was damn hot as well ;)

With regards to Atlantis > Sparky/Sheyla, Conversion may have contributed to the whole vampire fic thing.

Or it may be as simple as, Vampires Are Made Of Hot, so let's stick it to our fandom. :P

I think it's the whole vampires are hot so let's stick into our fandom. :D

The vampire shows I've watched had some hot vampires. Of course I think they were just really hot guys who happen to be vampires. :D

LOL. The only vamp shows I've watched are Buffy and Angel. And Sanctuary, if that counts. But I have to say, James Marsters is WAY hotter as Spike than himself, lol (maybe I just like the leather, lol)

I've never watched much Buffy or Angel. Just never got into it for some reason.

The Sanctuary Vamps are creepy and ugly.

The last vampire show I watched was not a big success and I haven't found too many who liked it. Moonlight.

I like it when shows have different takes on vampires. Moonlight had a very different take on vampires than the usual.
