Welcome to Wraithbait, the Stargate: Atlantis fanfiction archive. We accept stories of all types and all pairings pertaining to the show Stargate: Atlantis and are affiliated with the Wraithbait (slash) and Wraithgate (general and het) Stargate: Atlantis mailing lists.

Please note that we do not, however, accept stories featuring real person fiction or underage relationships.

If you're planning on submitting stories, please take a moment to read the submission rules before uploading any stories. This is a moderated archive and stories that do not comply with the rules will unfortunately not be accepted. You will also need to ensure that your browser has cookies enabled, in order to be able to log in. You can change the look of the site when you are logged in by changing the skin of the site through Your Account.

We do not accept account registrations from anyone under the age of 13. You need to be at least 13 to create an account, and by creating an account on the site you are confirming that you are, in fact, of an age to do so. Further information on our privacy policy can be found in the help page. The help page can also be of assistance if you're not familiar with the operation of automatic archives like this one.

Your archivists are Temaris, Claire and Leah, helped out by Alyse, Cedara and Aithine. If you have any questions, or are experiencing any problems registering or logging in, they can be reached by using the 'contact' option on their user profile, linked here.

Rule number seven of the archive reads thus:

No character bashing stories. Character bashing includes, but is not limited to, making characters look bad because you think that they are a threat to your OTP or your favourite character; making characters look bad because you think it makes your favourite character look good in comparison; characters acting severely out of character - plotting murder, committing rape, beating the hell out of people - for no good reason that is explained in the story when there is no indication in canon that they would behave in such a way. Please note that this does not mean that we don't accept dark stories, but if your canon character reads as though they are cackling wildly and swirling a black mustache, or weeps, wails and has a streak of yellow ten foot wide while someone else saves the day, you've probably crossed the line into character bashing.

I'm putting it here because we've had a very small run of character-bashing stories lately, but a run nonetheless, and it therefore seemed time to remind everyone that it is not something this archive can accept.

Given the above, if you are going to post a story where you feel you need to warn the audience that you are bashing a character, you are breaking the archive rules. Please don't do it. :)

Edited to Add: We are not planning on removing any stories already in the archive--if they are here, it's because we've already gone over them and found them compliant with the archive rules. This was a reminder for anyone considering posting a new story.

Claire, Temaris and I are all away at the Peg3 con this weekend, so there may be some delays in validating.

Act One, Scene One

A solitary figure slumps desolately over a keyboard, lit with a single spotlight to enhance the ambiance of isolation. The only sound to be heard is an eerie 'tap tap tap'

Author: Please R&R!
Archivist: *sighs*
Archivist: *sends a nicely worded 'please read the rules' mail*
Archivist: *edits story to remove rule breaking and validates*

Act One, Scene Two

Author: Give me feedback or I won't write more!
Archivist: O.o
Archivist: *sends politely worded 'no' letter pointing to the rules and possibly pointing out that this is why we have the rule in the first place*
Archivist: *deletes* *deletes* *deletes*

*clash of dramatic cymbals*

*fade to black...*

The moral of the story: Don't make us into Cybermen, boys and girls.

Authors: It's been brought to my attention that at least one of the older stories on the site has lost its paragraph breaks for some reason. I'm not clear why this is - because when I reviewed the story content box in the edit function, all of the necessary breaks were still there even though the story was displaying as a large block of text on the story page - but copying and pasting the text back into the box again from your original file and then saving it fixes the issue.

I'm really sorry this has happened, but please check your stories to make sure that this is an isolated error. As I said, I'm not sure why this has happened so I can't say that it won't happen again. I'm assuming that it's something that happened during the upgrade and just hasn't been spotted until now, but don't quote me on that.

Readers: This is an issue with the site, not the author. I would therefore appreciate it if you could stay polite when pointing out the issue to the author rather than accusing her of being ignorant. The site does have some minimum quality standards in place, and if the author really hadn't known that you needed to both break up chunks of text to make them readable online and that you had to start a new paragraph whenever someone new speaks, the story wouldn't have been added to the archive in the first place.

Thank you.

Thing-a-thons!

The SGA Santa is now open for sign-ups. It's a fic only exchange, open to writers of all genres (het, slash, gen, threesomes and moresomes, bitextual - you name it, someone will request it ::g::).

You don't have to have a livejournal to participate, and you can sign up without an LJ here.

And if that's not enough, there's also the Czech is in the Male Zelenka Slash Thing-a-thon. Because I am shameless. Open to writers and fan artists, it's a Zelenka slash only challenge (as the name suggests), but it will be running for a little longer than the Santa, just so you can get that out of the way first.

Like I said, shameless ::g::
