fic recs (SGA)
Jetlag is when you sleep ten hours and are still tired. Also, it's raining. I miss California. On the plus side, there'll be fake-rock climbing on Tuesday (no real rocks where I live).

Desert Orkids by tipper_green
gen; Rating: PG; team, with an emphasis on McKay; action-adventure; 103,304 words
Summary: Despite themselves, the Atlantians find themselves caught up in the mystery and politics of a desert world, a place where, if they dig too deeply, they could end up buried alive.
Great world building in this one; one of Tipper's strength is writing alien societies and settings and engaging original characters, each with their own agenda. Great plot, too... mystery, action, Ancient technology, and political intrigue. Our team get to play detectives. But who's playing them?
Four Blatant Lies About Atlantis (And One Thing That's Totally True) by sabinelagrande
McShep; PG-13; humor; 4286 words
Summary: Wherein aliens don't make them do it, John loves ASCII, Carson hates everyone, Weir is highly amused, and Lorne's just trying to be a pal.
And then there was The Other List.
The Other List was pulled directly from the Ancient database. Its original name varied widely, depending on who was translating it. Dr. Weir referred to it as The Places We Do Not Go; consensus among the linguists was that it was closer to The Worlds That Are Not Clean; Rodney read it as The People Who Do The Bad Things.
John called it The Top Ten Pegasus Party Schools- but then, he didn't read Ancient, so his interpretation didn't really count.
Did you read David Hewlett's latest blog entry? Disappointing news regarding the Atlantis movie, but not that surprising after reading all the backpedaling from TPTB. At this point I'll believe it when I see it, and won't get my hopes up until then. Actually after reading about their upped budget for SGU, I think I won't believe anything coming out of the producers' mouths for a good long while. Recession my ass. The economy!omg has become the blanket excuse for every unpopular decision... arhg, what's the point of getting worked up over this. *frothing rage*
But anyway, in somewhat happier news, I like the sound of this: I’m currently developing a show with MGM that is (very loosely) an earth-based science fiction Midnight Run with aliens. I’m calling it “Judas Run” for the moment...though the contract has it down under the catchy little number “The Untitled David Hewlett Sci Fi Project” (so maybe I should stick with that!) I am currently writing the script for the DVD/TV movie that I would star in.
Man, I really hope this pilot gets filmed (and picked up!). Pleeease! I'm getting withdrawal here! Midnight Run with aliens, that does sound like something I'd like to watch, and it'd still be within the SGA-6-degrees verse. Particularly if he can get other gateverse actors for it (which I've seen hinted at). I don't want to jinx it, but if DH posts about it, that's a good sign, Y/N? *fingers crossed*
