Hi! Love the idea. I was wondering two things, when is this set? Before or after slavery was outlawed? I'm thinking afterwards considering what you've already presented but... And two, do you think we could make up our own pasts for our characters if we write a fic? Because I'd really like to see Vala as a madame or a former prostitute. Or maybe ( Read more... )

Well, I was imagining this being a community where all the stories loosely flowed together (much like Langford University or even Spygate).

I was imagining the setting definitely being post-Civil War. When I was writing Monday Morning, I took a moment to look up when cash registers were invented (yes, I have to know small details; I'm weird like that) and the earliest models were built in the 1870s, according to the source I found. So, early 1870s sounds good. :) And it doesn't have to be totally historically accurate or anything. This is Atlantis, Colorado, where all our characters try to find new ways to drive each other mad ( ... )

K, thanks. Although now I have the huge urge to write a story where Daniel is a gunslinger, kind of like an Old West Indiana Jones and Vala's the local madame. I think I have issues, like serious issues. *sigh*

So you don't have any ideas for Teyla huh? Maybe she could be like the mixed blood daughters of one of the Indian tribes O'Neill deals with. Wouldnt that be a sucky life back then, half-black, half-Indian, not belonging anywhere. Oh, and McKay should be like some famous inventor who screwed up bad, and wanted to dissappear for awhile and show up in town to antagonize Sam.

*giggles* Good lord, that would be an interesting story! Gunslinger!Daniel... *falls over laughing* Given that I still often think of Daniel back in his early klutzy years, the idea of him being a totally cool gunslinger just makes me want to crack up. And of course, Vala would be her usual charming self no matter what her profession. ;)

As for Teyla and Rodney, those sound like great ideas. Of course, given the background I hinted for Ford - one of Jacob's deputies - I figure this isn't going to be totally historically accurate, so we don't necessarily have to worry about the prejudices that plagued the time period. The wonders of fanfic and our pack of ridiculously attractive people in their absurd situations. :D

Fic away! ;D
