    Don't even take that troll seriously, he has nothing useful to say, and is a self-proclaimed emo.

    Now, Stargate isn't my cup 'o tea, but you do seem to have a general idea of what you want to write, so get some more girth to your plot and then sit down and write it.

    Sometimes you just need to see it written down in order to flesh it out and give it more substance.

    Good luck.

    Nice idea, but it kinda goes against what we know about the Alterans so far I think, or maybe I just got it wrong?

    We do know that the Alterans was more developed and had some "abilities" (from the episode "Tao of Rodney" where Rodney gets his DNA altered, which makes his brain evolve rapidly). Here are some things he could do (which I presume most of the Alterans could do too); Improved hearing, healing abilities, telekinesis, mindreading and Rodney just "thought 'wouldn't it be great if all their weapons jammed all at once?' and then it just happened".


    I really like the part about wizards seeing technology, and then they'd take the idea and make it work with magic. Like invisibility, shields, pensieves, and so on. I think todays wizards would be far more ahead in magic, since thats what they've been focusing on for the last few centuries, instead of developing technology, they have developed their magic capability

    However, it's not really relevant at the moment, since there will be no "alien elements" in this story (thats what the sequel would be all about), even if they find alien devices they won't suspect them to be alien, they'd just think it is some old forgotten wizard-device.


    The only elements I have thought about using in the beginning of the story would be; books written in an early version of Latin (more like the Alteran language then modern Latin), but not with the ancient alphabet, the book would be written in riddles and there would be some hard puzzles to solve to get information out of it (not sure what kind of information it would be yet, any ideas?) and some "alien device", probably by Alteran design (since it would require the ATA gene to work, which Harry would have), it doesn't need to be mayor, as long as Harry is the only wizard who can use it (theoretical, he would have a really hard time finding out how it would work), it could just be something that he could use in the sequel.

    What do you think?
    Please, write more ideas/comments.
