    Warp Gate 0012

    Come August 1, I will be releasing to the internet, the first of what I hope to be many screenplays, for a story called Warp Gate 0012. Now, here's the synopsis.

    - Synopsis -
    A 2000 foot wide ring is discovered in orbit around Jupiter. When a team of scientists, marines, biologists, and so on, activate it, they are thrown through space, and in turn, deplete the power source of Earth's Warp Gate. Each gate has a cereal number to input, to dig a tunnel through zero space. Earth's number is 0012. Now, the stranded Earthlings join a crew of aliens, trying to avoid the grasp of an alien military, and just trying to get home.
    Now, let's address why I'm doing this. I've realized that I love writing screenplays and teleplays. So, I'm doing this to try and get noticed by someone.
    Now, a screenplay is not a novel.

    - Novel -
    Caldwell stepped onto the bridge, hungry for food.
    "Who's stolen my golden potatoes?!" he yells.

    - Screenplay (not very good format) -
    INT. DAEDALUS - BRIDGE
    Caldwell steps onto the bridge, hungry for food.

    CALDWELL
    Who's stolen my golden potatoes?!

    I'll release the first one, a nineteen page screenplay, on my website, http://the-new-sg1.forummotion.com
    Keep an eye out, on August 1, 2008.

        I think they find out what the number is by sending away 20 bar codes to Kellogs.

          I'll bet there's Froot Loops involved somewhere.

              It's a nice concept but it sounds very familiar. I'm not saying its inspiration is driven from stargate, but it does sound like it is taking things from various different scifi hits. Out of interest though, I may check this out.

                discovering some sort of FTL device is an old mcguffin, not originally from stargate. it possibly sounds more like the premise of the forever war.
