The problem I'm having with BSG fic is everything I think to write has already been written, and better than I could have done.
I'm very dissatisfied with pretty much everything I've written lately. I'm bored with a lot of the SG1 stuff I've left hanging (and I'm not convinced anyone is still reading SG1 anyway) and I haven't seen enough of BSG to have any sort of feel for the characters yet.
I forget that when I stumbled into the Stargate fandom there were six years of canon to educate me and to help me get a feel for the characters. It was okay to have not seen everything, because after six years a lot of stuff was extraneous and TPTB had forgotten about it themselves. BSG has what, 16 hours total? and I keep feeling like it's critical to know it all before I can write anything.
And hell, SG fandom has been very, very nice to me and I am intimidating myself out of writing anything for any show period. Ugh. I hate when I get like this.

*flops* And I want more ellyfic. *looks pitiful*
Also, er, SG1 is very hard to write new things for because everything has been done before.

And I do know what you mean about trying to come into a new fandom. It's always...unsettling. Very hard to dive into new characters with the same confidence as those you've lived and breathed for years. But I know I would happily read any BSG fic you produced, and I'm quite certain I would not be disappointed.:)
But don't worry about writing something that's "already been done". Everyone brings their own unique voice to every fic, and the plot is sometimes the least significant part of a story. Believe in your own voice and the merits that brings the work.
(But you totally have to finish those SG1 fics, too!*g*)

I'm just chock full of insecurities period, so I need to get over them all. And I will finish most of the SG1 stuff, I think.
