This



is one of my very favorite things to squee over. She's a beauty and full of undiscovered potential.

That she flies, is all bonus.

It's Friday night and LJ is dead, but I've got nowhere to go and then saw this post and was all, "HELL YEAH!"

I've always been more of a "hard" SF fan; I love ST as a girl for the gadgets and the Enterprise as much as for the characters. I also adore "lost city" tropes and combining the two is just like icing on the cake for me. I really wish the show had spent more time on the city of Atlantis itself, as I'm sure it was fascinating, and how much could the expedition really have explored?

I'm also a sucker for sentient!Atlantis. I prefer stories where the city is particularly alien and strange to ones where it is just a talking person, but I'll take any version in a pinch. What with all the genetic voodoo the Ancients went in for, I cannot imagine that there isn't some biologic AI in the city somewhere.

I really like the design the show creator's came up with for the city, as it is very beautiful IMHO. It does in some ways hark back to traditional descriptions of Atlantis with the various piers and "living mountain" of the central core. I just adore it.

...how much could the expedition really have explored?

Yes! There's so much that was left unexplored. I would have so loved to have seen more, but it's no bad thing that we have a wide open field to play with.

Dear heavens, yes. I've glomped on every sentient Atlantis story I could find.

I'm not too big on sentient Atlantis, but now keiramarcos gone and published her Lantean Legacy and suddenly I'm a SUCKER for Atlantis.

Still haven't figured out how to do the nice shortcuts so check out her LJ for it.

I love the stories about discovering new things about the City too. Oh, that elusive ZPM room, where are you?

And the small things. I want Chuck to find the Ancient toaster, gosh darn it.

Thanks for the rec. Atlantis needs more stories. She deserves more stories.
