Oh good. I'm so glad that you didn't have to do ALL of it over. :O



Great ideas Planet. Especially the AU one for Elizabeth. I remember when SG-1 did that for Fraiser. A bittersweet moment



Most definately!

Thanks. Linda made it.




I voted like a good girl.



I like this idea. We're just ThinkTanking right now. Putting ideas and stuff togethe right?

Hi all,

I’m a few days behind, so bear with me….

Spoiler:

- How quickly (i.e. how many eps) should it take to get back to Pegasus?
2 episodes
- Kanaan???
(Sighs) Yes, his presence is necessary for continuance from season 5, but an anvil could always land on his head.
- Any other pairings? McKeller, Ronon/Amelia etc
(Hold on, I’m gagging) Keep McKeller (ok, I’m better now) and explore Ronon/Amelia. I can see them together. I know it’s easy to forget, but remember Ronon used to woo the ladies before his Runner days. Maybe she can bring it out of him, but it can’t be an easy conquest. He had to work for it. I want her to keep him on his toes.
- Minor characters you’d like to see? Lorne, Chuck, Radek, Amelia, episodes for Elizabeth, Carson?
All of the above.
- Guest characters you’d like to see? Todd, Nancy, Michael etc
Todd, yes. Michael,… strong possibility. Nancy, no.
- Enemies? Wraith, Genii, Replicators, The guys from DV, The Asgard, The Trust etc
Wraith, Replicators, DV bad guys (!). Asgard, Trust; I’m not for them. It’s the same as another crossover character for me. Do it once and let it go.
- Story arcs from previous seasons? Queen Teyla, Satadans, Shep’s family etc
Yes, yes and yes.
- SG1 crossovers?
……nah…
- Earth episodes?
1 & ½; The 1st episode on Earth, by the end of the second episode they should be back in Pegasus.
- Any character deaths?
No, I’m tired of those.
- Exploring Atlantis? The Ancients? The Ancient gene?
Yes, yes, yes and the Athosians/Athos/Old city
- Alternate reality? Time travel?
Yes and (!) what if a small band of the DV bad guys jumped from reality to reality in the hopes of defeating some enemy or just to steal (like The Trust), but it was causing havoc to other people’s realities and the team has to hunt them down?
- Team episodes/character driven episodes?
Four character episodes; one each/Four team episodes with a secondary plot line of a team member dealing with personal issues/All others should be team episodes
- New commander/keep Woolsey?
Keep Woolsey. (Surprised, huh?) He had a lot of potential. I really wanted to see how he panned out.

A few suggestions:
Continuance is key:
- start season 6 exactly where season 5 ended (and then kill Keller and Kanaan).
- write the stories one at a time. This will allow other writers to piggyback off of previous episode events or conversations.

Have you guys considered voting on issues such as the questions listed above? It could be done like the votes for best couple on the other forum. Or someone could create polls on their LJ. Let’s be honest here. Not everyone is going to be satisfied with every aspect of how this is done and not every one is going to fully enjoy each and every story. But, they could be given a chance to have their voices heard, by submitting ideas and the results could help create the outline for the season. Of course, you have to be careful not to box in the writers. The results would need to be very basic, in example: Kanaan rejoins Athosians or Kanaan dies/McKeller continues or Keller returns to Earth.

Anywho, just an idea.

Thanks hun.

I hope so. They have some UST that must be dealt with!!!

I promise you I did not squeal too loudly when Lindsay and Danny got hitched

Woooohooo!!! *happy dance*

No need to apologize Yappi. That's why this was brought here for discussion. I would imagine that this will be written by you guys in here anyways because the fandom seems to be slow in Lj for JT anyways. Hence the reason why Cazz and I join in this effort too.

I guess we are going to have to leave this as is because I'm not making myself clear. I see it very simple, in plotting out ideas and organizing what is comparable and what is not, then writers have a strong baseline on where the entire season can go while still maintaining that suspense and creativity in their writing.

I guess I see it that if we lay out everything for writers, what fun will it be to read the fics besides just the filling-ins?

If we mention how Kanan is going to die, or how Teyla and John are going to finally get together, what fun is that going to be to read when I know already what is going to happen in the fic?

There's also another way, if we have each writer have a two week period to write a particular episode in order, then the following writer has the element of surprise and the challenge that he/she must continue the plot with whatever the previous writers did....does that make sense. There will be continuity with this approach as well.

And I could go on. I can't state anything about virtual challenges because I've never seen or participated in any.



See, I guess I'm not explaining it well, but in my view it can be done. Actually, someone challenge me to do it with them. Sort of a tag team thing. I just don't have the time to write something like this. Nor the energy. And I personally, want to read others works and not my own.



Ah, don't get me started on that one...if the writers did it for an entire season with McKeller, why can't we do it for John and Teyla in our own little world!
But, you are correct in that for me personally, I always mentioned that I loved John and Teyla in the background. Some of my favorites episode are the team centric episodes that have the best John and Teyla moments mixed in with the team as well. Sateda, Rising, Search and Rescue, The Ark, and many others come to mind. I even suggested that we decide how many episodes we'd like to have around one particular character, etc...I'd love for us to explore old and even come up with our own new characters. The writers must likely would have presented new characters, why shouldn't we?

That's exactly what I'd like to see.

In the end, guys...somehow this turned into Cazz is right, Camy is wrong.
Uh, Cazz and I are doing this as a team.

So, this idea and approach is perfect! I will consider doing it and opening it up for a more broader perspective maybe at a later time, maybe not!

Bottom line, I'm being selfish. I just want to read more fics with John and Teyla

Let the fun begin!

Hun, I don't see it as Cazz is right and you are wrong. Maybe you are having a hard time expressing what you want to say... I don't know hun.
I just figured that you all wanted to do it as a real season with JT in it. Not just totally JT. We can use these eps to bring about how we can get rid of Kanaan and eventually bring our couple together. We can also use these eps to bring about more background on John and or Teyla, team eps and so on. I think Season 2 and 3 were more balanced with that than any of the other seasons. IMO.

I agree that it needs a fluency(sp) to make it feel like episodes from a season and not just regular fics. It's kinda like what Jess does with RR fics. She gives us a plot and then we build from there, but tells us when we go off topic. (Like Laura's threesome at the end of June fic. )

And instead of Rodney getting all the line we can put John in more as well as Teyla and even Ronon. Less, Keller and More Beckett and so on.

I'm sure that whatever we write for the 20 eps, won't disappoint you and if it's a real success, we can do Season 7!

its still awesome and np

Thanks hun.

Yeah, I don't think of it as a right/wrong thing.

The other did feel a little too much like the RR, which is fun, but the beginning and the end could be two *totally* different stories. I think it would make sense to either pull VS episode discussions behind spoilers for those who want to be surprised or have some kind of LJ comm. (I know Cazz already has like five...LOL)

I know VSs work; there's one in the XF community that has been going on for 7 years. *gasp!* It's true.

Ok hun. What does VS mean again.

Really!! Wow! That's cool.

Spoiler:

So, do we have a general idea for arc(s) for the season?
What is the goal for the end of the season? Are we gonna end with a cliffy?
How we want to get rid of Kanann and get JT together?
Are we gonna do any two parters?
And how many words per ep?

I really like the idea of Todd messing with Ancient DNA. It would kinda be like a double cross for John. IMO.
Maybe a "near death" confession.
I personally would love an ep that Shep is totally dependent of his team to save him and not always him saving himself. Feel jipped with Travelers.

Luci!!! That Wallie Rocks!!! Thanks hun.
