Well, at least you did TRY Mitchell and Vala (even with your own colored glasses). A lot of people adore classic team as the sole soul of SG-1. I guess the whole is more than the sum of its parts to me. But I did discover I can take most teams so long as they have Daniel (no idea about Teal'c-less team yet...and Sam may be tough to judge since I've known she was returning in S9).
Knowing Jonas through fanfic is a very scary characterization...especially that written during season six era when tempers were high. But who knows how you'll feel *when* you watch Season Six. :-D (Since I'm so Daniel-centered, I never even THOUGHT I'd write Jonas, and now three stories!)
I'm not overly familiar with Tallulah to accurately compare. But it is funny. And something about fanfics and metas that I find *fascinating* in how we can all see and explore so many different aspects of the same core product.
ETA: Something I just realized responding to a different comment. My writing Cam and Vala may also have to do with how/when I entered fandom. I only came in late Season 8. And started writing fanfic during that hiatus. Season 9 and 10 were "new/fresh" eps for me, and thus an influence on what I would write. Although I know and love classic team too, I had been watching seven years of it as a casual viewer (and not knowing such a thing as fandom existed). So...that may play a part in it too. IIRC, you mainlined Stargate and came into fandom after seeing it "all" on DVDs and/or seeing the fic? Even though you weren't too much after me when it comes to entering fandom, it could give a different perspective on everyone too. (Then again, I may be completely misremembering)
