Read this. Seriously. We have published stuff on the shelves at work that isn't any where near as good as this is.

The Act of Creation Will Be Your Salvation

All her stuff is good so when you're done with it and want more, her other stuff is as good or even better.

Dear SGA fanfic writers:

If I have to read one more fic about how the Tauri need to be kicked out of Atlantis because they don't belong, I will spit.

A) It was said very early on that the reason some of the humans have the Ancient gene is because the Ancients interbred with them. Therefore they are the descendants of the Ancients and DO have a valid claim to Atlantis.

B) Most of the other races are not at the same technological level to make use of the Ancient devices so if they can't use the city, even if they have the gene, then what the hell do they want it for????? Don't give me 'sacred, so kill the blasphmers' because the Athosians thought it was sacred too but they still had no problem living there sometimes or turning it over to the Tauri.

C) The Tauri offer to help defend using the Ancient tech so it's a good trade off that can't just be ignored.

D) The Ancients themselves were not from Pegasus so they were intruders too. What makes them any more deserving to stay?

Get with the program damn it.

Meantime, I am sad that I am running out of good long SGA fics to read. I can see the fandom winding down. I don't care for most of the AU fics altho I have read some and like them. But most of the "John is whore and Rodney his client" or "John/Airline pilot and Rodney/millionaire playboy" type AUs just do not appeal to me.

Work time. Sigh. (I did add to my NaNo word count today tho.)
