    at the beginning????

    sorry.

    well, you have three basic choices

    start linear, with the characters going on the mission that gets them in trouble and whumped

    start in the middle, with them being whumped, flash back to how they got there and deal with them being rescued

    start at the end, them home and safe and carson taking care of them and tell the story in flashbacks

    any of the three could work, it's just a matter of how you want to do it.

    i would suggest....give things a reason. if someone is whumping on them, htere needs to be a reason other than 'i want them owied'

    the more of a reason the baddies have, the more real they are and the 'better' the fic

      I might take the first choice that seems more ideal, Plus I can leave my readers in suspence to a while

        there you go. you know how to begin it, the kids in a jumper going to the planet, already ON the planet ready to get into trouble or on atlantis discussing the mission

          Someone's keen on this fic. I'll plan it out and start typing away.

          BTW It's Called "Among the Stars"

            cool.

            keep us updated, i'm sure for those among us that don't write, it'll be interesting to see how the whole fanfic thing goes.

            in some ways and for some folks, it's easier than it looks....but also it's a lot harder than you'd think

              Thanks Skydiver, I'll have a think about it.

              Meantime, here's another query - I've got the germ of an idea for a funny fic, to be called "Teal'c's First Christmas".
              Nothing's written down so far, but I plan to have the following: Gen. Hammond in a Santa costume with Dr. Frasier as his "little helper". O'Neill inviting Daniel, Carter and teal'c to his place for Christmas dinner. Carter getting ever so slightly tiddly on eggnog and cornering her CO under the mistletoe. And the following line (or variation thereof) Teal'c: "I do not understand, Daniel Jackson. Why do the people of the Tau'ri choose to celebrate as a holiday the death of a man for his religeous beliefs?"

              Suggestions for who gives which person what Christmas present would be helpful. As would a general idea of the kind of Christmas Day-type TV shows broadcast in the US.

              Long before you and I were born, others beat these benches with their empty cups,
              To the night and its stars, to the here and now with who we are.

              Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
              And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.

                I have to say, not only is this absolutely the kind of holiday Teal'c could get behind (Jaffa are big on dying for what you believe in), but Christmas celebrates the birth of Christ, not his death.

                  Ooops! So it is, silly me...

                  I've had a wee bit of a think about what presents the guys would get each other - Carter would get Teal'c some nice candles for his Kelno'reem. Daniel would give him a hat (something by Kangol probably) for when he goes out in public. And O'Neill would give him - wait for it - the Star Wars trilogy.

                        Congrats on 1000 BruTak!

                        I've also posted this in a thread (probably the wrong one ) in Science and Tech, but then I found this place. My question is:

                        Can anyone tell me what kind of guns O'Neill and Carter were using in Season 4? Were they both using P-90s?

                        Thanks.

                          if i'm remembering right, they carried MP5's up until the one where daniel got kidnapped by teh unas. the episode name is totally escaping me. where they go to p3x888 and find the primordial goauold and rothman gets killed (yeah, i can remember the plot but not the title)

                          anyway, i believe that's the first time we see the p90

                            Great! Thanks Skydiver. (I can't remember the name of the ep either, but I know the one you mean.)



                            Edit: Ah, the wonderful Omnipedia. The First Ones, ep. 408.

                            (So, it's safe for me to say P-90 for a story set at the end of Season 4. Phew.)
