That was seriously cool.

Dear author:
Please write more. Thanks.

I second the reques for more of this! It's an intriguing idea, well plotted and very well written. The characters sounded and acted very much like themselves, it almost felt like i was watching an episode of Atlantis. Also, your use of visual imagery was so very good, and the story really flowed.

Very cool! I love the idea of sending out birds to explore and gather information. And I have a soft spot for jumper crashes... I love jumper crashes!! Love the connection between John and the bird, literally through the ATA gene and both explorers of the sky. Excellent!

I loved the giant, sentient, cloaking birds. That was awesome!! The mystery about the mountain and the blocked sensors and the missing scientists just continued to build until I was trying to speed read to see what was going on. Loved Rodney trying to pacify the "giant birdies" and Woolsey trying to figure out how the bird dialed the gate (I can just see the look on his face). The solution was so unexpected and yet so plausible in the wonderful world of the Ancients! Nice job!!!!

Like the birds! I thought the fic was well written - and fun!! I wish someone would draw Rodney on the back of the flying bird - the look on his face would be priceless!! *bg*
