Stargate: Atlantis Newsletter

We apologise for the interruption, but we have a request. The SGA fandom, as y'all know, is terribly, wonderfully vast and we just don't have the time to devote to every corner of it. To fix this problem, we're asking for your time: if any of you dear readers have the inclination and the time (love of SGA is a given!) and wouldn't mind joining the atlantis_newletter team, please drop us a comment or e-mail us at
atlantis.news@gmail.com and let us know.

Thank you :-)
