Ten years. Wowza. I've wanted to post these questions since the beginning of this fest.
Stargate Atlantis, ten years later. Where are they now? Where do you imagine them to be? And where are you?
When the show first aired I had no real concept of the fannish community. I knew it was there but had never really been a part of it. It unfolded in front of me. The creation of AO3 happened because of fandom pulling together. I met friends online that will be my friends for the rest of my life. Squee Weekend happened. I moved from lurking to writing stories and posting (never saw that one coming).
Atlantis changed my life in ways I'll still feel the effects from ten years from now. I can't begin to draw enough hearts over it and fandom.
Where do I think our team is 10 years later? Back in Pegasus where they belong of course.
melagan.livejournal.comI say, never let a good idea go to waste.

mezzo_cammin posed the question, What's your gateway fic?
sgamadison ran with that and made This Post
(if you like to comment there and post a link to your comment here, that would be marvelous)
I'mma gonna ask, "when did Stargate Atlantis become your show? The show you worked your schedule around?
I know we all came to the show at different points.

fu_dragonThis show gave us so many iconic moments, large and small. We will never forget John zippered shirt, Radek's pigeons, Teyla's soup, Ronon's gun (that's not a euphemism
rubygirl29), Rodney's orange fleece, or Woolsey's cigars. I'd have more to say but I'm mesmerized by the gif of the city rising.
SGA...10 Years Later, fest: Team Love!
Jul. 11th, 2014 07:08 ammelagan.livejournal.comShare the Love! Pictures, recs, art and the like - bring it on.
For those that began watching from the beginning, you'll understand it was with some trepidation I learned that we were losing Ford and getting a replacement. I didn't warm up to that idea at all. *raises hand in confession* Boy, did I change my tune. I loved the addition of Ronon. I can't imagine the team without him now.
I particularly liked his introduction; taking Teyla and Sheppard captive. Not your typical team replacement, not at all. ♥
Share your Team Love!!!!!!

As a change of pace, lets talk Ancient tech. Oh the trouble it has wrought. Ascension machine anyone?
Misuse of technology, abandoned technology, acquiring technology -- technology gone very, very wrong. Suffice to say, many, many stories on the show and in fanfic centered around this subject.
Just how many times did John Sheppard touch something he shouldn't have, anyway?
The scale the Ancients worked with always delights me. They thought big. A city that flys. A gate network that spans two galaxies, if not more. Pretty warships and ZPMs.
Do you have a favorite - in canon or fanon? I'm a sci-fi geek so I reveled in it. If it had to do with travel, from the Gate system to transporters to puddlejumpers, it caught my eye.
Wraith tech! I almost forgot to mention it. eep. Let's celebrate some sci-fi!
Pairings post is here
Tomorrow- Team Love!
SGA...10 Years Later, fest: Pairings!
Jul. 9th, 2014 07:25 ammelagan.livejournal.comAnd we're off!
There are multiple communities that have joined in the fest, lot of places to post fic, art, etc. I thought it would be fun to have a few discussions here.
Today it's pairings. At the beginning I read every slash pairing, and damn near every story I could get my hands on. The early days of fandom I spent glued to my computer screen. My best icon didn't say SGA Porn Floozy for nothing.

SGA...10 Years Later Fest
Jun. 21st, 2014 06:58 pmmelagan.livejournal.comOn July 16th, 2004, an intrepid group of explorers set out on a one-way journey to the lost city of Atlantis, unleashing a fandom juggernaut that has resulted countless brilliant works. Please join us in celebrating ten spectacular years by adding more love to the pile.
You may begin posting works (meta, recs, fic, vids, art, comics, gifsets, whatever you like) at any time during the Fest, but please save your biggest splash for July 16th, the anniversary!
The Fest collection is open at SGA 10 Years Later Fest on AO3.
This is, hopefully, popping up in various communities and tumblr, etc as we try to spread the word. Meanwhile pre-celebration posting and discussion continues on right here if you're looking for a little inspiration. I know I have my marker ready to start drawing hearts. \0/
