#Stargate: Atlantis

[haveyoureadthisfanfic]

Summary: The secession of Atlantis from Earth and its reformation as a city state is told through thirty-six unreliable narrators, in a mix of excerpts from academic books, interviews, poetry and so on, and a connecting straight narrative. (Summary from Fanlore)

Author: @cesperanza

Note from submitter: Despite only landing in novella territory at 52k words, Victors is one of the few fics that I think reaches the quality of a published novel while being totally inextricable from its fic roots. An insanely ambitious effort, completely worth the level of acclaim it's enjoyed in SGA fandom. It's THE McShep fic. Even if you're not a SGA fan, the way it plays with format is compelling on its own.

Fic: Surface Pressure

Surface Pressure (6735 words) by anr Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Stargate Atlantis Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: John Sheppard/Elizabeth Weir Characters: John Sheppard, Elizabeth Weir Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Alternate Reality, Time Loop, Fix-It Summary: There's an Elvis Presley poster in his quarters here, a golden oak leaf on the uniforms in his closet, and a disappointing lack of turkey sandwiches in the commissary. But not one of those things is a deal breaker when he holds them up to the sight of Elizabeth beside him, a light breeze shifting the hair on the back of her neck, and her shoulder so close to his that he can feel every breath she takes.

ROUND 1, MATCHUP 6

[ID: A photo of Atlantis from Stargate: Atlantis next to the cover for Friends At The Table: Twilight Mirage, with the letters "VS." between them. End ID.]

...Yeah I'm gonna be real here I don't know much about either of these cities. Atlantis (Stargate ed.) seems really cool and sci-fi-y! Crystal Palace is a giant and possibly sentient (I mean, obviously sentient, why else would it be in this competition) city-sized and shaped computer! It's the battle of the cool sci-fi cities I don't understand! Do YOU understand well enough to vote? (If so please tell me, I need to improve my pitches.)

Okay, but Stargate: Atlantis and Stargate: SG-1 (but especially sga) are a found family lovers dream <3

#it's not even my favorite tv trope but it's one of my favorite things about both series 🥰 #stargate #stargate: atlantis #stargate: sg1 #sga #man. especially sga--john and his team are SUCH a family #especially after rodney starts to mellow out late season 3/early season 4

I got to talk to Anne Helen Peterson about found families in fanfiction!

Aja: What really jumped out at me about your post was the idea that we graduate into independence in adulthood that really often means isolation, because I think that’s probably true for a lot of fans who turn to these fandoms for simulacra of healthy interconnected friendship networks. We all know what the dream of that kind of community is supposed to look like. Yet it’s so hard to achieve that when, like, here in New York you can barely get three friends to settle on a time for grabbing coffee together, much less coordinate ways to more fully intermingle in each other’s lives. Logistically, too, as you point out, we’re spread apart and communes are hard to build. 

These fandoms, however, are often built around characters who by necessity have already been thrust into a networked collective. For example, Stargate: Atlantis is infamous in fandom for being a pretty mediocre TV show that spawned a hugely influential and respected transformative fandom. It’s probably not a coincidence that that show isolates its entire cast by trapping them in a giant glass-domed sky city in a galaxy far away for years, forcing them to deal with every cataclysmic element imaginable, pretty much living in a permanent state of emergency. Of course the fandom was interested in the bonds of those teammates; the whole concept is like a found family petri dish. 

Similar concept: Many K-pop bands live together in dormitories for years at a time, under strict rules and contract limitations, which naturally causes them to bond over a highly specialized and isolated experience. This sounds like a nightmare, but there are also cameras frequently turned on these living arrangements and they become romanticized. I think fans see these dorm room setups as real-life versions of what a lot of us want found family to be: no parents around, just a constant party with 7 or 13 of your beautiful best friends. That’s quite a shallow fantasy, but fanworks also complicate this idea by allowing these relationships to fracture and be messy and complex while still ultimately staying forged together. 

And that is the real fantasy, isn’t it? That you can subject yourself to the mortifying ordeal of being known, not just by one soulmate but by a whole group of kindred spirits, and you’ll still get to keep them all when the damage is done.  

You can read the whole Q&A here!
