- - - As my online moniker suggests, I came late to the SGA Party; I discovered 'Stargate Atlantis' (on DVD) probably about the time it was canceled. I think the series was beautifully done - the music, the Gate Room set, the concept, the characters, and the wonderful actors who brought their adventures to life.

I try to write stories that would fit within the series, sort of like 'additional episodes'. I like team adventures, but tend to emphasize the Sheppard-McKay fun relationship and banter. I also try to maintain continuity in my stories, so there is a timeline for them:

In The Beginning- S1, soon after Thirty Eight Minutes;
So Close- S1, between Sanctuary and Before I Sleep;
Like Minds- S2, between Siege III and Intruder;
Dark & Dreary- S2, after Duet;
All For One- S2, before Condemned;
Stray Thoughts- S2, after Condemned;
Out Of Time- S2, after Condemned;
Squeeze Play- S2, before Trinity;
No Return- S2, before Instinct;
What's In A Name- S2, after Conversion;
Rescue- S2, between The Hive and Critical Mass;
A Hollow Reminder- S3, after Progeny;
Winter Wonder- S3, after Phantoms;
Underlying Cause- S3, between Return II and Echoes;
Override- S3, between Return II and Echoes;
Into The Fire- S3, between Return II and Echoes;
Second String- S3, before Tao of Rodney;
Left Behind- S3, before The Game;
The Morning Grind- S3, between The Ark and Sunday;
Dark Corners- S3, between Vengeance and First Strike;
Unsettled- S4, between Lifeline and Reunion;
Stratagem- S5, before Vegas;
The Power Of One- S7, soon after Atlantis returns to Pegasus.

The stories without a given timeframe do have a timeline that is specific only for people who choose to read the 'additional' epilogues. For those who do not read these 'extra' chapters, the non-timeframed stories simply take place when Woolsey is in charge (and both Beckett and Keller can be present) in this order:

Calculated Risk / Advantage / All in a Day / Misdirection / Same Time, Same Place.

The Sheyla tales are Hurdles (late S6) and Cornered at Christmas (S9). - - - Thanks for reading. ~Late2SGA
