I wonder what it is about SGA (or maybe about fandom, but especially this one) that means we all have a warm fuzzy love for documents and ephemera belonging to the universe.

It does seem like there are a whole bunch of document-inclined people in SGA, doesn't it? An interest in picking apart "texts" has been the common thread in my various fandoms, but it's only in SGA that I've seen people be interested in the artifact itself, and what it can represent. Even in LotR, not so much.

But I agree, whatever the cause, it's pretty awesome :D
