Five-Minute "Hide and Seek"

[Nate the Great]

Please, just for my edification, could you start putting disclaimers before these things?

"This is an UNOFFICIAL fanver for entertainment purposes only. It is not intended to be official, nor is it approved by Zeke, Nan, or any other member of the 5M.net (or their affiliates) administration."

I really don't want this thing to spiral out of control. If you don't want me being anal about this, please feel free to convince Zeke and Nan to open a Five-Minute Atlantis subsite here.

Disclaimer added. And I still have five more of these, so I'll keep pumping them out on Sundays, disclaimer included.

Are people enjoying them, or should I just stop?

Now that's some nice irony.

-Is- there any good M/W slash out there? Or is that, like J/N, too horrific to contemplate?

[Nate the Great]

No, NOT one of my joke disclaimers, a real disclaimer. For my edification. Just in case we ever get a real Five-Minute Stargate Atlantis, I want the official fivers to go through some sort of review process. I want everyone to know, especially Nan, that no toes are being stepped on.

[Wowbagger]

Your joke disclaimers? Seriously?

My disclaimer sufficiently covers the fact that it is an infringement of Stargate Atlantis and an unauthorized usage of the Five-Minute concept. If it happens to get an amusing pie comment in there (and, no, it's not objectively very funny, but for some reason pecan pie always makes me laugh. Like weevils.), then so be it.

If it'll help, next week I'll make the disclaimer somewhat more explicit, like:

Which, come to think of it, would be a rather funny disclaimer.

[Nate the Great]

"My" joke disclaimers as in I started a whole thread about it, and not that far into the past, either.

Please, just find Nan somehow and make sure that all of this is okay with her and won't make her totally vanish, taking the keys to the vault with her.

I just find it amusing that "M/W slash" looks like "Man/Woman slash".

Okay, Nate... I PM'ed her. Her activity rate is fairly low, but that seems to me the best I can do, unless you have a recent email address.

But let's try to remember that the main reason we're here is for our own personal amusement, and it doesn't seem very likely that 5MSG is coming back. Why don't you join me in posting your versions of SG fivers? I mean, you can't forget that Five-Minute "Endgame" began as nothing but a forum posting, and that was certainly still funny.

Otherwise, we'll probably never get the chance to see your fivers, and, frankly, I could use the laugh. I've exhausted most of the fiver content available to me.

Really? Do people want me to write clonefivers (new word!) for SG-1 to post in here?
