You have mentioned about international audience visiting this thread... well... it would be great if our native English speakers could explain some slang expressions they use in their posts.
Thank you for understanding .
Happy to help here - please let me know if I use anything that's not clear.
Mind you, as an Australian I have to admit there's some slang used in other parts of the English-speaking world that I don't understand!

No problem, hon! All you have to do is ask!

I do apologise to everyone who feels excluded, it has to seem like gibberish.
Just to clear things up: The song degilwen translated is from a german movie that spoofs Star Trek as well as Star Wars. The movie is called (T)raumschiff Surprise. For more information about the movie see wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traumsc...se_-_Periode_1
I don't want to offend anyone but I'd like to point out that there is no need to imply clique-ness for my post because there have often been insider jokes about TV shows, random everyday objects or food items which are very specific to a certain region, country or continent and no one has ever objected before. Or sometimes there are insider jokes about things from a past decade that younger people can't possible comprehend. As you said yourself we're from all over the world so it's natural that not everyone gets every joke that is made. Sorry again if I have offended anyone.
Hi
I have read this and I say sorry if I hurt someone with my jokes. I don´t want hurt anybody.... I hope you forgive me
So I have a Question. What´s the Name from this Wraith?:
Hey folks. I'm not sure if this was the best place for this. I was just wondering if I could get some feedback with something. I began writing a Stargate Atlantis fanfic a little while ago. Its in the fanfic section here called "The Price of Struggle." (Tentative Title) It's post EATG. I'm looking at it as the first draft so I could get some helpful feedback before I post it to somewhere like "Fanfiction.net". The reason I ask here is because Chapter 2 features a reintroduction of Todd, I was curious if some of the people with a particular interest in the character such as any in the Wraith Defenders Club thought I captured him well.
You can read the rest if you want, but at this point I was just curious if you thought I did Todd justice.
"First Weir, then Samantha Carter, and now, you! It's a pity you humans die or get reassigned so easily, or I might have a sense of satisfaction now!"

Well, reading your chap with Todd put a wry smile on my face - and that's usually the effect tricksie Todd has on me, so that's a good start.
I agree that Todd would be condescending (not condensing- you need to proof read! ) toward humans, not so much in general but certainly toward the IOA - I think Todd has some understanding of human politics and how those in charge are not those with the brains or the wherewithall!
He would also try to bargain his way out of captivity by dangling carrots in front of the humans, and you've left me wanting to read on to find out what tricksie Todd is up to here...
So, all in all, you've got me hooked!

read all 3 chapter. Todd you really caught his character very well. Tricky Tod is back.
Only problem I can see, is it not finished yet. So get going and lets het them all back to the Galaxy they belong in.
Thought I would drop off this little bit of wraithy silliness. Since we have had a couple re-writes on songs:
Wraith version: of Fly me to the Moon
originally by Frank Sinatra’s:
Fly me to the moon
Let me feast among those stars
Let me see what you taste like
On Jupiter and mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby feed me
Fill my heart with song
Let me sing forever more
You are all I hunger for
I am all you worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I need you
There is a story behind the inspiration to re-write this song. It involves me and my hubby going to a jazz concert. And the signer saying that this song was dedicated to "Todd." And my hubby being on the same page as me, and doing the wraith hand motion right after the lady said Todd. Yeah for dorky wraith moments.

I think you did a good job with everyone's voice... cannot wait to read more!
