Saw this on LJ, got permission to post it over here to encourage any writers still doing SGA fic!
Reproduced from Yinka Wills' LiveJournal


"I'm a BIG fan of Mrs Hamill's 'Riding the Wheel of If' a Star Wars fanfic where a grieving Obi Wan travels to alternative universes/parallel dimensions, seeking to find a live Qui Gon.


I thought an SGA one would be epic, Haven't written it yet...have put the outline up on A03


Prologue
It was very simple. Either John – and Atlantis- could accept a future without Rodney McKay. Or he could…get creative.
Of course, to do so, he’d need Rodney’s main partner in crime, Zelenka. Because they’d need help from one of the Ancient artefacts, those in the room that was locked, and labelled ‘Dangerous! Do not open this door! Seriously!!’

And Zelenka was quite fortunately alone, in the lab. Very conspicuously not sitting in Rodney’s chair.
John took a deep breath. The scientist looked pale, and grim, and yeah, many of them were wearing that expression right now. John avoided looking in the mirror, because fuck, he knew what he’d see.

‘Um, Radek. You gotta minute?’
The conversation was short, and to the point. After John outlined what he wanted, Zelenka gasped in shock. Then there was a lot of arm-waving and exclamations in Czech. Then worried looks. Then threats to call Elizabeth, and even Caldwell. Then an intrigued look and muttering. Finally, after a solid hour…he abruptly swept out of the lab and John stalked after him.

And Then It Begins


The Reality where Rodney is the head of the expedition and Caldwell of the military


The Reality where all Atlanteans are the Undead



The Reality where everyone is in the military and John is Brigadier-General Sheppard…



The Reality where John and Rodney are Joanna & Rodina…(Everyone is the opposite gender. Including Caldwell…)



The Reality where Rodney’s drug habit meant he never left college, and John works for aeronautical engineers…


The Reality where John is a bit of a psycho…



The Reality where Rodney is a Himbo, using his talents to climb up the ladder in academic circles, and John is a ruthless billionaire businessman….



The Reality where Rodney never got over the enzyme


The Reality where Group Marriage is the norm, and Rodney’s spouses are not amused…


The Reality where the Wraith got to feed on them…


The Reality where Rodney is great…but 15 years younger


The Reality where John married Elizabeth+ she’s a conduit
(John=frequently unfaithful off planet/on holiday on Earth. Where Rodney can see/find out. Elizabeth sometimes seeks solace with Rodney-which John encourages)


The Reality where John never forgave Rodney for Doranda and uses alien women as punishment…



The Reality where John never came to Atlantis, Mitchell did


The Reality where Rodney is a suave charmer sleazeball on the IOA, Kavanagh is Chief Scientist on Atlantis…


The Reality where John is a woman, and Rodney…isnt
(J meets a tall, laconic woman with a drawl who ‘gets’ him. And is very possessive of McKay. He drops in in the middle of a firefight. Rodney is wounded, and unconscious. After John leaves, we find out she’s him..)


The Reality where Teyla is head of the Expedition…and owns the men ( matriarchal society, men = second class, J captured by female sgc military, dominatrix!Teyla. Sub!Ronon. John is a switch (when he’s with female doms) who really just wants to be with Rodney- Teyla’s favourite/most difficult sub..)


The Reality where John’s bedhopping had him demoted to Captain Major after being a full bird Colonel…and Lorne, Elizabeth, Teyla, Kavanagh, are just a few of his (angry) conquests- but not Rodney



The Reality where the Ancients like John, no, really like him….


The Reality where some of SG1 = trapped in Atlantis

The really dark Reality (It’s evil!John and Evil!Rodney who have their fun. The Wraith are the good guys-giving lifeforce to live- and help John escape)


The Reality where some of the Wraith are like the Tokra, and take the serum regularly…


The Reality where all the Atlanteans are Goua’uld and Jaffa, and the SGC is sending through a bomb to blow up the stargate…
(John lands in the middle of it, and his stuff is taken away. Goua’uld!Elizabeth is overcome long enough for Goua’uld!Rodney to help him, -because his lover, John fought to the death against being taken over, disproving ‘nothing of the host survives’)


The Reality where they’re all angels, and Angel!John is bored,whilst Angel!Rodney is curious……..


The one where they met a complex, Asiatic society first, and have half-merged with them. John is a Warrior-Prince, Carson and Rodney are Mage + Alchemist, Elizabeth and Teyla Sorceresses, Ronon the Weapons Master…
(Rodney and all the scientists are veiled. Rodney, who ‘belongs’ to the Warrior-Prince is always barefoot, and has ankle bracelets. Warrior-Prince!John is overbearing and controlling and possessive. There is intrigue with the Genii- who are the good guys…)


The Reality where the Genii took Atlantis and Rodney during the storm
(J arrives in the middle of plans for a rescue and acts as decoy ‘negotiating’ with Kolya –drawing him away from the gateroom, whilst alt!J brings squad of marines in cloaked jumpers from the Alpha site)


The Reality where they live in a BDSM universe, uber dom!Sheppard is courting ultra!sub McKay, but then the lover he thought was dead, Holland, comes back via a quantum mirror from yet another ‘verse…and he wants John…

(crediting Xanthe and KieraMarcos for the concepts. Please go read Xanthe's 'General and Dr Sheppard' and EVERYTHING Kiera Marcos has written in SGA fandom!)

Angst, sub!Rodney and our John have a moment after dom!Sheppard is caughtin a compromising position with Holland. Nasty fight between John and dom!Sheppard interrupted by Wraith attack, and John after its over, tries to get sub!Rodney to leave with him)


The Reality where Rodney is travelling to alternate dimensions looking for John


The Reality where everything comes together

I'd urge anyone interested to have a go at these stories, and add some more!"

The last day of the season was unbelieveably edge of seat!
At least 6 teams facing HUGE repercussions.
The match that dominated everything, was- of course- Manchester City versus Queens Park Rangers. Both NEEDED to win. Man City to get their first League title for 44 years. QPR to avoid relegation to the league below and a massive drop in income.

It was hard to decide who to root for.

Man City- 20 years in the shadow of Man United.The grim failure of it. But now, they are rich, bought by a fabulously wealthy owner, spent over £400m on players.
QPR a proud club with a long tradition which has had great players. Not having had the investment they needed. And their manager had been unjustly sacked when manager of Man City.

Ooohhh. Pure Soap Opera.

If Man City win, they snatch the league title from the jaws of the arrogant, almighty Man United.
Well, they outclassed QPR on paper, so we all thought the match would be one sided.
Not at all!

QPR were amazing- fought, fought and fought again.Went 2-1 ahead and were in the lead up to 90 mins into the game.
And then...
The 92nd minute- a header from Dzeko made them 2-2. But word had already come through of Man United winning their match, and claiming the title.Some City fans had started leaving the ground in tears. Mancini the manager of Man City, and all the coaching staff are screaming, screaming at the players to attack, shouting for everyone to go forward. but its too late. They're in the last minute of extra time...then Agüero gets the ball, puts it in the net.

And Man City have done it. Finally.

If they'd made a film that ended like that, we'd have scoffed and said typical Hollwood cheese.
But it actually happened.

I thought the loss at the end meant that QPR- who had been the better team throughout the match, and fought even when down to 10 men after that asshole Joey Barton was sent off- were definately relegated- but poor old Bolton got the chop. Phew!
Sorry, Bolton fans!
I'm an Arsenal fan- armchair only- and we started the season so atrociously I cant believe where we finished up. We've got the 3rd place, so...still in Champions League next year. :)

Weird to think that if Chelsea lose next week, they wont be in the Champion's League next year....I hope de Matteo gets to keep the manager job, he's earned it.

And yeah, one has to feel glad for Man City after 44 years. Noel Gallagher of Oasis has been insufferable all day. Much of BBC Radio has been going on and on about yesterday's shennanigans with the various Premier League matches, and Man City fans' delerium. News is on the radio now of massive celebrations in Manchester.
And, I repeat, Joey Barton was an asshole. He should never be allowed to play for QPR again, doing that in a match so important. Tevez is an asshole. He should never be allowed to play for Man City again, having had a strop and gone AWOL for 4/5 months in Argentina.

Would you believe I got this music video off my Friends page? (That's the wonder of blogs. You never know who/what you may link or be linked to, or wha might come up on an RSS feed)

This music video tells a complete (short) story, that could spark great ideas for a film. Its wonderful because you have a female central character, its set in an Indian town/suburb, theres a good soundtrack, danger, mystery... AND SCIENCE FICTION ELEMENTS!

Yeah. What do we want? Science Fiction! Set in African, Asian, Arab countries, with protagonists from those countries. And we want stories where indigenous peoples - North or South America, Australasia, or the Indian sub-continent, or Inuit- are the heroes, the tellers of the tale,who save usfrom the aliens!!

Damnit- I want a scifi tv film that is set amongst the Dogon, rooted in their cosmology...

I loved this song, and the singer's feisty attitude when it came out around 2003. I have the CD, which contains the video too.But its very hard for a black R&B singer to maintain a career in the UK. The big companies wont invest in them.(Slightly better chances if they'll do pop).So I think people like Taio Cruz, Craig David, etc going to the US- despite the formidable talent there- makes sense. Its worked out very well for black actors.

I dont know if Jody Lei go anywhere after this. Her talent needed time to grow. And she needed less cheesy video sfx (but I'm a sucker for martial arts stuff).

Enjoy...
One of the great things about having a kid, is that you get to have a perfect excuse for indulging in age-inappropriate things.

My son LOVED Cartoon Network when he was little. So...I had to watch it. And I really enjoyed Megas XLR the story of a slacker, Coop, and his slacker friend, whose expertise at video games got him a gig driving a giant robot from the future,fighting off bad guy aliens.
Megas XLR had the most rocking theme tune (see below) great adventures each week as Kiva a warrior woman from the future tried to get Coop to...well pay attention and fight properly. But Coop- and his friend Jamie couldn't concentrate on much.And Coop when driving Megas, tended to smash up his immediate surroundings whilst fighting the badguys.The running gag was that huge swathes of New Jersey got trashed each week. To no effect.(Don't ask me why it was a gag, I'm a Brit)

Anyhoo, the coolest bad guy of them all was a...metallic lifeform called the R.E.G.I.S Mark V. Who was all 'Cower you puny mortals before the might of the indomitable Regis,' and 'Your planet shall be destroyed, turned back into the cosmic dust from whence it came' even as its monologues were constantly being interrupted as trucks ran it over,buildings fell on it etc. The Regis Mark V was pure EGO.Its idea of a friendly chat was 'Do not panic. I shall kill you quickly'. It loved to muse over rhetorical questions such as 'Is there anyone who can face the sheer might and power of the Regis Mark V?' It had no doubt. And absolutely could not be stopped...(Terminators? Pah!)

Here are some highlights.. The Regis




and, the Theme tune 'Giant Robots!'



Let's hear it for the band who played this, Ragtime Revolutionaries

You, dig giant robots!
I, dig giant robots!
We, dig giant robots!
Chicks, dig giant robots!

Oh, they don't write theme tune lyrics like they used to. :(

Peoples,
I was born in the Caribbean. BORN THERE, I say. And have the melanin to prove it. And yet, I sit here gasping :( 90 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit. (I'm old, so I'm still thinking in imperial and pre 1980 units!)
I came here when I was 3 years old, and dont like the cold. But...
I used to get heatstroke in Britain in the summer when it got too hot. And a friend of mine, same heritage, used to get sunburn! Yes! How is that even possible?

And why is it hotter here than the Mediterranean? Than the Caribbean? Without the scenery to go with it???

My poor son is suffering. He actually LIKES the cold. His ideal holiday is a skiing holiday. (I hate snow). So he is gasping, and miserable.

Oh well.
Time to put on some SOCA!Dollar Whine. Sugar Bum Bum (for all us generously sized ladies out there. As the immortal Lord Kitchener sang, 'Give me the bum bum, Audrey..') and of course, the most obvious one, by Arrow
'Feeling HOT, HOT, HOT!'
