waffling over netiquette...

[ratcreature]

Once I posted my first attempt at a SGA thematic list to my LJ I announced it on the sga_noticeboard and at sgagenrefinders to spread the word, in particular I asked John/Elizabeth shippers for links, because I don't read that pairing at all, and my list is completely lacking in that direction. Unfortunately nobody responded with any J/E story additions. :/ Then yesterday I x-posted to stargate_search, and it's not that I didn't get replies either, just again no J/E (so far).

I'd really like the thematic list to be somewhat "pairing neutral" and I can't imagine that there are no J/E stories featuring alien cultures, but I'm a bit at a loss what I should do about it. Somehow joining J/E specific communities, when I dislike that pairing myself, feels vaguely like trolling, also, I'm kind of unfamiliar with the infrastructure in that corner of SGA fandom. I mean, I looked at the SGA overview at the newbieguide, and while there at least six different communities for that pairing only john_elizabeth has a really large membership, so I guess that would be the best venue, but I x-posted at three places (albeit non-pairing specific ones) already, and past a certain point it becomes obnoxious, and when I looked over john_elizabeth to figure out whether that community would even allow fic searches, I did come across a post with a reminder not to x-post excessively. Any advice?

You might try emailing either of the john_elizabeth moderators and maybe ask their advice? I've found them both pretty reasonable. I can also post a note on my own journal about your search, since I have more than a few J/E shippers on it.

Thank you for spreading the word!
