I must begin by saying that I’m not a writer, as you will notice as soon as you start to read “the book”, and English is not my first language.
I was 31 when SGU was canceled and after I spent half my life watching new episodes of Stargate the news of SGU cancelation was a quite the punch in the gut. But when Brad Wright announced that they
were trying to get SG1, SGA and SGU movies done, hope was renewed for little while. For the longest time news about the movies were all about MGM bankruptcy and the fact that they couldn’t afford it. So I had this idea: if MGM couldn’t afford to make three movies why not make only one; a story that would involve all three branches of the franchise.
When all the deals felt apart I realized that the Stargate Franchise was dead. But I really like my idea, a sort of “One Movie to Rule Them All” kind of thing. All kinds of fan base stuff began to appear online about Stargate and after reading a very well written Stargate Universe – The Virtual Third Season by a Fan called Mike Sather (at http://www.philotic.com/stargate/ ), I was inspired to do the same. I don’t really remember how the idea for the story came to me, but it did, and I found it really good and worth the attempt so I started to write. First I thought of doing it like a movie script (like Stargate Universe – The Virtual Third Season) I quickly realized that I couldn’t, so I tried to do it like a novel couldn’t cut it too, so I ended up writing it partly script partly novel (if it’s even possible).
In my short story I haven’t spent a lot of time describing the ship and her surroundings or her crew because chances are, if you are reading this you’re a fan of Stargate and you know how everything looks. I felt that describing everything would serve no purpose except make the story longer for no reason.
I hope you enjoy the read as much as I enjoyed writing it.
I still believe that this story would make an awesome Stargate movie.
