Hmm, ff.de does have 44 BSG stories, and I do watch the series occasionally.
Hee. Five of those stories are mine or translations of mine. The rest isn't about my characters of choice. :-/
But, good thing I'm not into Dustin Hoffman. LOL.
It makes sense what you said about our experience being different because we frequent very different places. When I started writing fanfic, I didn't really interact with people (beyond answering reviews) for a long time. I even stumbled upon that invite by coincidence. There never was a lot of public interaction.
Urgh. Not fun (but I'm curious anyway).
Nice place. Great writers. Easy to overlook that they felt offended by my being a lesbian. Eventually, I was told that I had no right to fight for more gay rights. After the line of "You should just be glad that nobody is throwing stones at you people anymore", I decided I had other places to be. ;) Seriously. Theoretically, I know that Germany should be a more open and tolerant place than, say, the States. It's certainly true for my real life experience. But my fandom experience says otherwise. English fandom -> lots of LGTB, lots of tolerance. German fandom -> lots of morons. Or maybe, I'm just more provocative in German. ;)

Anyway. Sorry for the rant.
