Ok, I'm really kind of curious, who rec'ed me to metafandom? No one who's in the SGA fandom even responded to my original post, and now, a week later it's on metafandom? Weird.

It's kind of flattering, but on the other hand, I wrote it thinking no one would end up reading it, so it's not actually one of the brighter things I've said. I also kind of made up my own side to the argument. :P

Seriously though, if it was someone on my flist, I'd really like to know. Otherwise I'm going to assume it's someone from geeklite's flist who checked out my journal after I left a comment on her post.

Anyways, good night all, here's to long weekends!

:P but how did you hear about it in the first place? No one had said the name metafandom until they had been linked. I didn't even *say* meta in the post at all.

Just curious.

Well, you know, I don't remember specifically. :D There are several possibilities, though. You may have, as I said, turned up on a keyword search, say, sga race (http://technorati.com/search/sga+race+?authority=n&start=10), perhaps, from technorati, ljseek, textblog, or another search engine type thing. I reckoned it was most likely to be from a feed because of the delay you mentioned. Otherwise, well! You're on a lot of community flists - it's also fairly probable that I picked you up off a flist view - I've skimmed the sga_noticeboard flist a lot more often in the past couple of weeks, because so much discussion has been happening in SGA recently. Or someone tracked out the comment threads - that's a pretty common way to find more discussion posts. Or... I dunno! Those are the three most likely options. We don't get that many submissions, maybe a couple a day, and mostly in comments.

We've been grinding our way through a pretty big change in the way we collate our data over the past month or so, so it's also quite probable that actually your post was added when you made it and got caught in the system.

Cool to know. Thanks!
