Atlantis Writing Contest

[Lysia]

I am currently participating in a Stargate Atlantis writing competition. There are three teams writing stories from the same beginning, and at the end there will be a vote to determine the winner. If anybody is interested in reading the stories as they progress and voting at the end, please visit:

Atlantis Writing Competition

If you register and then post in the Member Signups thread in General Discussion, (or just PM me -- I'm Lysia -- and I'll organize it with the admin) you'll be given access to the stories and a chance to vote at the end. Currently the stories are hidden to prevent the teams seeing what the others are doing.



If you're interested in writing yourself, we may run another of these if there is enough interest.

Hipveloro is waiting for his baby to be born. It is John Sheppard, well he name him Veloro and put him to stasis and sent to Earth by a ship.

Hey fellow fan fic writers!

I was purusing my "other" fic blog...and came across this

The Isis Awards
http://isis.worldstowander.com/
For Atlantis and SG-1 writers

here is there descript - Good Luck!

Hello, and welcome to the home of the second annual Isis Awards for Stargate Secondary 'Ship Fanfic! What exactly does that mean? Well, I'll tell you.

Like most fandoms, Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis have het 'ships that, for whatever reason, tend to attract the majority of the fans to them--Sam/Jack, for example. But as in any fandom, there are also people who are more drawn to others, and these folks can sometimes get lost in the shuffle. The goal of the Isis Awards is to give less popular het 'ships and the people who support them a chance to be recognized for their hard work and creativity in a way that they might not be elsewhere. If you want to be a part of that, all you have to do is nominate and vote for all your favorite secondary 'ship fanfic when nominations and voting respectively open.

So why the "Isis Awards"? For three reasons: 1) Isis was Osiris' queen and since Osiris wasn't female before Sarah, that means she was involved in a het 'ship, 2) we never saw her alive, so we can pretend that she wouldn't have been mean and cruel and villainous like Hathor, and 3) we never saw her alive, so how much more secondary can you get?

This year we're also opening the awards to Atlantis secondary het 'ships. After some discussion, we've decided this means anything but Sheppard/Weir. This is irregardless of which way canon eventually ends up leaning with regards to 'ships, but rather based on the distribution of the fanbase at the moment.

Thanks for dropping by and showing your support for Stargate's secondary 'ships! If you have any questions, you can contact us at [email protected].

Status as of 2/15/06 - Voting is open and will close on 2/25/06.
