I started to try to make another fic cover. Got discouraged because SG-1 has virtually nothing to choose from in terms of image resources that aren't chucked into the photobucket or like 26 pixels wide. I feel like it might even be easier to find resources for fandoms that started pre-1990 because revival and restoration efforts have been made, whereas those from like 1990-2010 are so difficult because they existed in the time when internet fandom was taking shape but the resources weren't updated to modern standards as they went. At least not usually.
I haven't figured out some generic imagery I can use yet, either, so I gave up for the moment.
Nevertheless, I'm pretty impressed that by the time I was 18 or so my writing had started to resemble something that wasn't particularly embarrassing. The fic I was working with (I'm basically just going in reverse chronological order) was one about Daniel Jackson and Sam Carter having mostly skimmed over or fade-to-black comfort sex as a result of all their feelings everywhere about other people and finding immediate solace in each other or something? And it's named after a Katy Perry song. Pretty... complex for one of the first fics I've got archived on AO3 (I don't remember if it was an import from FF.net but I think it was).
I don't know why I have always been taken with the trope of people "cheating" on their emotions only to find MORE emotions. I don't support actual infidelity except in cases of like people breaking out of abusive or genuinely loveless relationships, but infidelity is another one of those hot-buttons for some people where they won't read anything even REMOTELY related to it. Me? I am all about loyalty in real life and in fiction, but that means that in fiction I am interested in explorations of what that means (or doesn't).
