Best wishes for a full recovery to Corin, who played Jonas Quinn on Stargate SG-1.

He's in Belize to film his crazy SyFy movie "Poseidon Rex", and the Belize Coat Guard boat ferrying him to location collided with a sinking barge! His femur broke in 3 places & he lost MASSIVE amounts of blood, but he's now still in the hospital waiting for his blood count to go back up after multiple transfusions and major surgery.

The circumstances of the accident point to gross negligence of boating safety by the Belizean Coast Guard ferrying him & his crew to location; Corin asked at the outset of the trip why there were no lifejackets provided to him and his crew PLUS the boat was going too fast when it collided PLUS the pilot didn't see the half-submerged barge. We'll probably know a bit more as the story develops.

What can I post in this challenge? Any kind of fan work (fics, vids, art, podfic). It must follow the rules of

gate_women and be somehow related to the theme of Beginnings. Links to recommendations are also welcome.

Is there a time limit? Great if you can post within January but you can post any time through 2013.

You say the theme is Beginnings but what do you mean? Some ideas...your art may focus on the beginning of a friendship/relationship, beginning a new job/role, or the beginning of a series or a character within the franchise

Do I need to sign-up? No, but you will need to join as a member to post to

This country not only needs to re-examine gun control, but readjust our cultural thinking.

We dismiss the mentally ill and ostracize them socially.

We insult and belittle mental illness ("crazy", "batshit insane", "off her meds", "off his rocker") instead of holding out the hand of compassion or taking the time to listen.

We profit off industries that sell video games that encourage viewing living things as targets of violence, plus movies & TV shows that glorify BLASTIN' GATS.

We resort to hostility instead of sympathy.

We don't even say HI to our neighbors on a daily basis.

When was the last time you or I reached out with a simple smile to make a loner feel less lonely?

We fucking SUCK.

Michael Shanks on Twitter, regarding the recording of dialog without Claud or Cliff present:

campyspornshack: Great job on the @bigfinish audiobook "Half Life"! Very convincing ex post facto dialog w/Claudia & @cliffmsimon
MichaelShanks: thanks!!!
campyspornshack: Were you able to listen to @cliffmsimon & Claudia Black's pre-recorded lines while or before speaking yours?
MichaelShanks: nope.......
campyspornshack: You performed the dialog with only a stand-in line reader? I'm even MORE impressed!
MichaelShanks: yep....

So I'm on Twitter, checking out the #SDCC (San Diego Comic Con) hash tag, trying to decide if I wanna crash it since, ya know, I LIVE HERE, and well, well, well, long time, no Tweet from Mr. Joe Flanigan:

"Nathan Drake thing still alive? Oh Hollywood. Working on Fringe right now. Trying to get my small head around their mythology."

I should probably make a John Sheppard icon.

Joe Mallozzi reveals more of the first 10 minutes of the screenplay he & Paul Mullie wrote for the Stargate Atlantis movie that Brad Wright couldn't get MGM to greenlight. He also posits the possibility of it being made into a printed novel, graphic novel, or a "radio play".

Hell freaken YEAH get Big Finish to make this an audio book! Especially if Torri Higginson gets to appear in the timey-wimey plot. (Wait, they really like their time-travel direct-to-DVD screenplays, don't they?)

In celebration of New York's legalization of same-sex marriage, let's write fic about weddings!

All same-sex pairings welcome, any rating, any fandom. Write about proposals, engagements, wedding planning, or saying "I do," in a place where same-sex marriage is legal now, or somewhere the fight's still on. Have characters elope, tie the knot at City Hall, make their vows on a spaceship, or whatever else strikes your fancy, officially recognized or otherwise. Basically, anything remotely marriage-related goes.
NC-17 allowed!

Unfilled SG-1/SGA/SGU prompts WAITING FOR YOU TO WRITE THEM!

Whoa. I just read "Will Dean Devlin Get the Stargate Reboot?" at Stargate Solutions. There's a link to "Producer Dean Devlin Talks INDEPENDENCE DAY Sequels, STARGATE Movie Sequels, GODZILLA and More at the Saturn Awards" on Collider where he says "films would continue the story with the original film cast and focus on other places Stargates could go and other places Stargates might be on planet Earth."

That's TWO sequels -- parts 2 & 3 -- to the 1994 Stargate movie, with Kurt Russell & James Spader -- and hopefully Mili Avital, Alexis Cruz, French Stewart, & John Diehl. Viveca Lindfors has passed away, but learning something different of Catherine Langford's fate would be awesome. And holy crap, the geeks Barbara Shore, played by Rae Allen, and Gary Meyers, played by Richard Kind, would they be in it, too?

Yeah, I know, Sam, Teal'c, Vala & Cam wouldn't exist, as well as everyone in Atlantis (SAD FACE) but the Alternate Realities of this prospect I CAN'T EVEN. I adore Avital's Sha'uri. And if Russell & Spader are in it, that's enough time for Jack & Sarah O'Neil (one L) to reconcile and have more kids, as well as Daniel & Sha'uri to... Heh. Baby fic. LOL

But man, a Stargate Alternate Reality where:

aliens DON'T speak English
Goa'uld don't incubate in stomach pouches
something besides a DHD dials a 'Gate

I would totally watch that.

And then write the fuck out of some fanfic where a Ripple Effect makes the realities collide with the teams we know. ;p
