the show itself just doesn't seem to worthy (or able) to support the edifice of fic built on it.
I love the show, not just because the fic is amazing... it's really the only one that's capturing my attention at the moment. I still watch Bones and NCIS, but that's more casual viewing. I'd say that the stargate 'verse being complex and at the same time having plenty of gaps plays a big role in enabling/inspiring fic. And then there's the characters. I was interested in the characters before I'd even watched the show, just based on some fanworks I'd seen.
If you want to look into SGA genfic, stargategenrec is also a good place to look.
As to OTW, I'm supporting them since I can (for the most part) get behind their agenda. Though I do agree with you that the feminist aspect is problematic... not that the majority of fic writers isn't female (which some of the posters over there seemed to doubt) but because there's no point in excluding the male writers.
I have no problem with OTW being primarily about fanfic. They're not all-encompassing, but then they don't claim to be, and I think it might be even unfeasible. I'd rather not have an organization representing so many different groups and interests that they're too busy disagreeing about every little thing to actually get much done.
