John Sheppard/Teyla Emmagan Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread
Don't use the back and forward space on the right hand corner of your computer...that doesn't work. It's the main thing we never figured out how to fix using Flash. But it's really easy to navigate, just click on the links, they all work. Mine and other authors vids are there as well.
You are too kind, thank you and i know lol...i don't make vids too often lol. I started to but season 4 came along and it started killing my mood to make any vids or artwork and then the horror that was season 5 happened and well...yeah you know what happened there lol. But i'm hoping with this vid Steph and i do will kinda spark more from me.
Just like Nina said, kinda makes you want to start doing vids again but they are a lot of work.
Thank you hun. I don't know why I never saw the link for the vids I kept looking and looking.
Oh I know. Those season made everything so hard. Especially season 5.

oh I know what you mean ...
If only they could have gotten to that idea with
JM interview
Spoiler:
dark Teyla .. *that* would have made for great J/T angst, right?
Mayra and Steph-The website looks great! That's the first time I've seen the new look...guess I've been away too long! You both make awesome vids! I can't wait for the one you are doing together.
No problem hun. At least you are cutting and pasting like I first time I tried.
I see that Blue explained it so I won't. But if you want to see yours go to the top of the page and click on "My Controls".
Thanks so much Sci!
I meant to ask, is there a place where we let everyone know when our fics are updated? My old one that was on the list is completed (okay I have to do a happy dance here because I completed it and ended up with 775 reviews which made me feel...well happy doesn't cover it - I still can't believe it got so many!) And I've started posting the spin off, which is a Vegas tag which I update every other day. Oh how I LOVE dark John Sheppard....
By the way, how do you insert a smilie here from your computer?
Hi Dezrai! I can help with the smilie question. If it is a smilie you have saved on your computer you will need to upload it to an account like Photobucket in order to post it on the forum. Once it's uploaded to Photobucket, you just need to copy/paste the IMG code (In PB it is one of the options under the pic) part into your post.

Thank you so much!! And would it be okay if I pinch that Teyla cheerleader smilie? I am not ashamed to admit I was one in high school - I know that seems to be at odds with being a sci fi fan - at least that is what people tell me. Anyway, my fav SGA female as a cheerleader? TOO COOL!!!!
Okay, let's see if this works...
From the preview it looks like I managed to do it!!! Thanks Spectrum!!

Yay! Glad it worked for you! Go ahead and use the Teyla smiley. I think zuz originally made it...she has a whole thread of smilies. The link is in my sig if you want to collect some more!

Thank you! I actually went to Zuz's thread yesterday and asked if she had any John/Teyla or John/Teyla/Torren smilies, but I haven't seen a reply yet. Hopefully tomorrow when most people are off work I will see something. Thanks again for your help Spectrum!!
I am just having way too much smilie fun now!! LOL
Thank you! You guys are great with the warm welcomes!
And I can't wait to read all these challenge fics!!
Hi I'm sorry I didn't welcome you properly before I can't wait to meet you I saw that you write fics I've started In Atlantis but I'm late in a lot of fics, I'm ashamed I will need at least one month to catch on all
And as you see don't hesitate to ask, I'm french, not really great in english and I'm afraid to say that sometimes people has to believe that I'm blonde, so you risk nothing LOL
im sorry im not signing up for any of the Fics as im really terrible at Fics and Writing so ill just stick to art for Now
Hey we are two I don't imagine writing I thought once to write something, I was stuck at the first line LOL I understood that it was really not for me lOL
*poof* and she appears. Well hello, JT thread. *looks around* Nice place ya got here! I am a JT shipper as well, though I mostly stick to SG-1 pursuits and don't participate in the more fandom parts of JT shippage...
*breathes*
ANYwho...why am I here? Oh. Right.
Postage.
Posting an image will become second nature.
All posting on LJ is either rich text or html. I chose html, as I can copy any site and figure it out from there (my own personal website is loosely based on my dad's, etc)...
So...to post an image, make sure the top of your post shows you with HTML...
On here, you would use
[*img]http://lilferret.com/Amanda4.jpg[*/img] ... without the *s inside the brackets.
And it would come out
In html however, everything is with < brackets. So to post a pic you use:
<img src="http://lilferret.com/Amanda4.jpg"> The space between img and src is necessary.
It basically means, to see this image, go to the source HERE... image source.
There are lots of other tricks like linking to another site, with words (or a picture), etc, but getting this part down will help you in the mean time.
One other useful tidbit? The LJ cut. Like a spoiler here.
<lj-cut text="This is a cut"> Goes directly before the part you want to hide, and </lj-cut> goes after. Again, the space between cut and text...necessary.
i.e.
<lj-cut text="This is a cut">Spoiler goes here...or pictures...</lj-cut>
You would end up seeing a spoiler link. Not a box, like here, but just a link that says This is a cut and when you click it, you see the post.
Just make sure for the cut that you start the first word of the hidden information directly AFTER the >. No spaces after or before it.
i.e.
<lj-cut text="This is a cut">Spoiler goes here...or pictures...
*picture*
Aw. How cute, right?</lj-cut>
And if you need more help, you can find me at [email protected], both email and messenger, or just PM me here.
Okay mis amigos! The time has begun. Beya has started it's Season 5 Re-Write and I want all of you to join the fun!
I've included the details below:
We are officially kicking off our Season 5 Re-Write of Stargate Atlantis with John and Teyla as the main focus in your writings.
Here are the rules of this challenge once again.
Spoiler:
Please follow the rules and guidelines for posting in this community and for this challenge type the following in the Subject box:
Fanfic Challenge: Season 5 Rewite: Name of Episode Here
Choose an episode and rewrite the episode using the same content, but changing it and/or modifying it to your liking; however keeping the same idea/content of the real episode. For example, Identity...you could have Teyla be the one that has the identity change instead of Keller. You keep the idea of the episode, but you change it around to your liking.
Or, you could write a missing scene for the episode while keeping the plot the same
All fics have to have John and Teyla as the focus
Could be pre-ship, friendship, in relationship or AU
Fic has to be at least 1,000 words long
Has to be original piece for this challenge and not something you already wrote'
All fics will be posted in a new entry following the rules and guidelines for posting in this community.
Every Sunday night at 11:00p.m. Eastern Time a Season 5 Episode will be posted as the challenge in a new enry. A masterlist will be posted with a link to all the fics at the end of the two week posting. Participating writers will have two weeks to enter their fics in a new entry. You may enter your fic within that two week time frame.
All chapters must be completed when posting an entry for each episode.
Our first episode is Search and Rescue. This was a great JT episode, but it could have been better in my opinion.
Please don't forget to use tags.
Let the writing begin!
Deadline will be for this episode: February 15, 2009
All this is happening in Beya. You need to become a member to be able to post.
It's pretty unbelievable that the ptb gave us the wonderful dream sequence in Search and Rescue
Spoiler:
where John and Teyla's connection almost jumped off the screen, and then didnt continue with it... . all John's subconsious feelings were manifested in that dream.. he cherishes her above all others and wants to be alone with her.. that to me confirms only one thing... he loves her... sigh..
I don't know what went on in the writers head... their attempt at writing the baby arc just fell flat and they seemed to think that if Teyla had been secretely involved with someone else then she couldnt possilby be seen to be close to John again... not only John but her whole team it seems..
There seemed to be a total lack of direction in season 5.. not just with John and Teyla but in general... its like each writer just did what the felt like and this totally effected the cohesion of the show and previous seasons... I think a lot of the focus was put on Keller and McKeller and everyone else forgotten about..
But after reading JM's long essay on shipping I think he and the writers realised what a mistake they had made.... McKeller didnt go down the way they thought it would and many fans including non shipppers were very disappointed in the treatment of John/Teyla as a a pairing and as individual characters..... JM acknowleded himself that JT were to be the canon ship and that Teyla was the perfect woman for John.... and I think he also thought the Kanaan character was pretty lame as he referred to him as the invisible babysitter as well......
Remember: They can be old or new. Sigs, wallies and/or icons.
Edit: Added Hope's sig for Michael
Sorry if I don't quote you all but all the artwork is amazing I remmber when I came in here first all the artwork was great and I think you all became even better
To me that just shows that any PTB can't please everyone, cos everything I've read about CSI:NY this latest season has said D/L has been a nightmare I'm not looking forward to it airing over here
Oh, ok. I looked on IMDB and it showed which shows that she was only credited with. JS didn't get any "credited" eps because she wasn't on the opening credits.
And I totally agree with you about RL gettting less dialogue.
Oh and I updated my fic to LJ.
Here's the link and nicely edited. Thanks to Jess that pointed out a big oops with one part of the story with Teyla. It's all fixed now. She's my hero.
I forgot the exact wording in Quarantine, but I'm sure he would be including himself. Especially, if something happened to both her and her people. I have no doubt how much he would be helping.
Spoiler:
I don't care what anyone says. I know in S&R where John is holding Torren that maybe JF's personallity came threw when he smiles a was admiring the baby, but if they(writers/actors) didn't want John to show how comfortable he was with the baby, all by himself, you'd think they would've show it then and there. (Does that make sense?)
Oh, ok. Thanks for straightening me out.
What!! There was some hot sparring this that ep!! I missed it.
What was that??!! Was it a blur, a whisp of smoke? NO, it was Ninja Linda!!!
Able to sneek into a thread without a sound..... except for her squeeing over new tv.
Can you tell I'm tired? LOL
Awesome job Blue.
I figured out how to download fonts and brushes properly. So, be kind while a play around with my new toy.
Thanks Cazz.)
I've been in a mood to experiment with some of my color tools. Ones I don't ususally use or never have. So, I'm sure I will be critizing my stuff here and there.
This is all old art and some are really not good choose the one you like
I made this one for The lost Boys (Ok I ask myself if I have alzheimer I didn't do it before if it's the case I'm really sorry )
