SGA Fic: The Black Lake

  • May. 29th, 2009 at 8:49 PM

This was written for the SGA Gen Ficathon, but I didn’t finish in time (because I suck at deadlines). My prompt is below.

Title: The Black Lake
Author: Tipper
Genre: Action/Adventure
Prompt: The journey of a thousand miles sometimes ends very, very badly.
Word Count: ~27,740 (8 Chapters)
Rating: T
Warnings: None that I know of, other than spoilers – this is definitely a season five+ fic, so everything that is canon is fair game.
Summary: Things go belly up (because they always go belly up) on a rescue mission to save an SGA team stuck deep underground and running out of air. This is a Team story, with Keller along for the ride.
Notes: Thanks to [info]nottasha for the late night betaing. This was revised some after she read it, so all remaining mistakes, poor writing and bad grammar belong solely to me. Also, I’m not a doctor and I’m not a biologist, so…yeah.

The story is in four parts, and it's posted on the Gen Ficathon website. Links below...

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4

It's also up at my website on a single page and at ff.net.

My first vacation since last May, hurrah!  I went to the gorgeous and incomparable Southwest.  Specifically, the National Parks (and national monuments) of southern Utah, which are some of the most amazing and spectacular places on earth.  Seriously, Bryce Canyon, Grand Staircase Escalante NM and Zion are insanely beautiful places.  My mother kept remarking that it didn't look "real" -- she actually said it was like something out of Harry Potter, which, for my fairly jaded mother, is saying something.  When I go, I feel a little like you're walking back in time, because they're that untouched.  I imagine Alaska must be similarly beautiful, though in a different way.

Anyway, I was gone for a longish time, which is why I haven't responded to the awesome folks who left me replies to Seekers below.  I basically took off as soon as I posted the last chapter, so I wanted to say sorry and I'm going to reply now.  

A handful of photos )
Anyway, trying to catch up on a backlog of emails, facebook and livejournal posts!  So much to read! LOL!

Oh, and the "seahorse" in the icon?  That was a piece of deadwood in Bryce.  I had to take its picture.

I've been doing the 14 hour day thing again at work, and I got home tonight at 10:00 pm. I opened the doc, but the idea of revising it tonight makes my brain hurt. So, I hope you'll grant me the boon of a day!

And sorry again!

In the meantime, please enjoy the sticky note experiment...which I so could have used in the office today!

Also, thank you everyone still with me. I know it’s not a standard fanfic layout, to use this sort of POV (i.e. the "bad guy"), and I appreciate you sticking through it with me.

TITLE: THE SEEKERS

AUTHOR: TIPPER

DISCLAIMER: Stargate: Atlantis and its characters are the property of Showtime/Viacom, MGM/UA, Double Secret Productions, and Gekko Productions. This story was created for entertainment purposes only. No copyright infringement is intended. The original characters, situations, and story are the property of the author(s). Thank you to the amazing writers, producers, actors, crew and directors who brought it to life. (Past tense! So sad!)

CHARACTERS: Rodney, Team, OCs with guns

STATUS: Complete in 12 parts (to be posted as I revise)

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: Thanks NT, as always.

 

SPOILERS: All the way through to the fifth season, with some blatant ones for First Contact and Search & Rescue. I’ve seen ‘em all and I’m going to use them all…well, except for the season finale. This probably happens before that.

 

A/N: This was written as a Christmas gift for my friend GateBiscuit, who requested a team story with “traps, traps, traps!” 
  

A/N 2: I did not set out intending to limit it to the two POVs I did, but that’s how it ended up. Once I’d started down that route, I forced myself to stick with it—just to see if I could.  Sorry to make you suffer my attempt to improve my writing skills. 

 

DESCRIPTION: A kidnapped McKay, a determined and angry Team Sheppard, a temple of doom, lots and lots of traps, and a dash of team love.  (Originally titled: “The Incredibly Stupid Idea,” which may tell you something...LOL!)

AU REVOIR Stargate Atlantis!

I'm still digesting the last episode.  I don't really have a reaction or review, just a general sense of sadness.  There was much to love (which means lots for me to miss).  But my favorite moment was....

Not a review, just a thank you... )

This video made me ridiculously happy!

Read the description and watch the vid.  If he comes to Boston, I am so there!

Happy New Year everyone!  2009!

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

Just wanted to thank everyone who replied to the post below!  I'm still slowing replying (I think I got a little over my head.  I'm not a good LJ-er on my best days. LOL!), but just in general, I wanted to thank you all so much.  I loved remembering how awesome the show was -- it totally made my week, carrying me through Identity (which I totally dug, by the way.)

An SGA Fandom Pick-Me-Up Request (Please!)

Hi Fandom!  Lapsed fanfic writer Tipper here, hoping for a cup o' kindness, so to speak!

 

Why I'm hoping for a pick me up... )

 

What is one thing about the show that you love (and will miss)? Better yet, can you recollect a scene or a moment that always makes you laugh or cry or reminds you how much you loved the show?

 

Think of it as a memory game.  It can be general (Sheppard and McKay’s friendship!) but I’d love it if you can be specific (Sheppard getting pinched in the bum in the Tower; Ronon hanging upside down on a Wraith ship, dreads a flyin’; Elizabeth holding everyone's attention in the palm of her hand in Before I Sleep; Carson, Ronon and Teyla trying to get in front of Rodney in Irresponsible when Kolya calls him out to be shot and Rodney's "um..." as he steps out from behind them;  Sheppard tossing that coin way back in Rising…) (You’ll note I’m also picking on some of the episodes people generally disliked because, well, there’s always something to love…:))

 

If you do this for me, I would be eternally grateful!     


Thank you in advance. :)

(Oh, and, no need to respond to the "why" I need the pick me up.  I just thought I should explain.)

SGA 5.14: The Prodigal. JOY!

There's the Atlantis I know and love!  Actiony-goodness, great fights that used the fantastic sets to a T, a villain who really chews the screen, tons of tension (that made me really wish I'd watched this on my DVR so I could fast forward the commercials), humor, friendship moments that just killed me, and that light layer of darkness that, when done well...is done really well.

Suffice it to say, I totally dug this episode.  I'm all jazzed up right now!  Seriously, I thought it was just one hell of a good time!

Five years of kick-boxing, eh? )
