3. My G-d this is a good story. Your Cowboy Days Are Over, by M. SGA: What if the Wraith learned all about genetic experimentation from the Atlanteans? Or: what could be enough to send John and Teyla into exile on a world where safety from the Wraith is purchased one memory at a time? Great John, great Teyla, fantastic original world with aliens who are not as dangerous as the Wraith, but arguably a lot more evil. Nearly 60,000 words, so set aside some time.

I think the point is that they're pushing promoting social networking rather than content. In turn that entices business to buy adverstising (or whatever) as they see consumers.
