GATE NEXUS
Gate Nexus is a Stargate Franchise and other sci- fi genre mash (all of them, really) Fan-Fiction webisode series and role-playing game hosted on YouTube and SecondLife by lookpastit.com, for the purpose of having fun teaching and learning energy physics and using our emotions as a HUD for navigating reality.
EDUCATIONAL ENTERTAINMENT
Gate Nexus
Our FAN-FICTION webisode series will be following a new (digital) Gate Nexus (GN) team on their adventures into a whole new universe, a nexus-verse that converges many familiar and unfamiliar cultures, technologies, ideas and
realities in one strange place with a powerful purpose.
Will you be ready when we're ready?
We'll be using this webisode series to continue the human-adventure-through- the-Stargate story (with so!-disclosures), but also to feed clues to our in-world (Second Life) COMMUNITY RPG (Role-Playing Game), where the webisode GN-
team becomes NPCs (Non-played characters), the show becomes IC (in character) mission reports, and our players get to help tell the story that becomes later episodes.
Yes, we'll even have opportunities for folks to have their characters become a part of the show!

I will sum it up for you as a generational sci-fi and soft-disclosure franchise that started with the original film Stargate in 1994, which was followed by the Showtime TV series (that later moved to Sci-fi channel before it became the SyFy channel) Stargate SG-1 from 1997-2007, that spawned two spin-offs. Stargate Atlantis from 2004-2009 and Stargate Universe from 2009-2011. Plus two full length films in 2008, Stargate Ark of Truth and Stargate Continuum, that had fans (like us) begging for MORE, but who were largely disappointed with the prequel MGM streaming mini series Stargate Origins in 2018.
All of the Stargate series follow various SG-teams through wormholes they "dial" into/create, using re-appropriated ancient tech called a "Stargate," traveling to other distant worlds in our own Galaxy and other Galaxies. One of the most alluring things about the film, subsequent TV shows, and following films, is the play on our real Earth science, history, lore, and mythologies, while tying in the "science-fiction" soft-disclosure in such a way as to make it fun, exciting and (questionably) believable.
In the fourth season of the TV series SG-1 (episode 19 "Prodigy",) the real-life General Michael E. Ryan appears as himself; what fun! Just a few years later, U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff General John P. Jumper plays himself in SG-1 (season 7 episode 22) "Lost City: Part 2", almost making it seem like a new tradition.
These guest appearances were just icing on the realism-in-our-fantasy-cake, which had a core in all the very real military technical advisors and real military personnel playing extras throughout the series. Though heavily favoring good vs. evil antics through the aliens and tech wars, the series is also full of triumphing over adversity by never giving up, (almost) never leaving one another behind, and never letting go of that dream for a better, more unified co- existing (not to be confused with utopian) global society. . . and there are always exceptions.
Official MGM Stargate Command looknbehind the scenes with star Amanda Tapping (who played [rank varied through the seasons] Samantha Carter of the U.S. Air Force and Stargate Command) sums up our feelings pretty well, without too many major plot spoilers:
Official MGM Stargate Command looknbehind the scenes with star Richard Dean Anderson (who played [rank varied through the season] Jack O'Neill of the U.S. Air Force and Stargate Command) sums up our feelings pretty well, without too many major plot spoilers:
A well made "Definitive History of the Franchise" of Stargate, including those insistent references to
books before the film in 1994!
Warning: Major Plot and Story Arc Spoilers in this film after the first 20 minutes!
I will sum it up for you as the use of entertainment industries to (a) blatantly and subliminally disclose otherwise undisclosed and highly classified materials, and (b) to field the public's general and specific reactions to said disclosures. Soft- disclosure may also (c) serve as a misdirection that allows for plausible deniability which has been vital in maintaining secrecy.
As real disclosure occurs, these soft-disclosures will become more apparent, and thus their name more apparent as well.
An excerpt from SG-1's 100th episode in which SG-1 is confronted with a TV show based on their missions through the Stargate:
I will sum it up for you as the use of a video game, or other virtual world to create cinematic short and full length films and serial shows. It is more than recording or sharing of a screen, and often includes imaginative transitions, depth of field, and lighting. In effect, it is the making of a movie, TV show, or short film with a 3D virtual world as your setting, your main characters, extras, everything!
We want to be clear about this too, in plain speak, because we really just want to keep exploring the possibilities and culture of soft-disclosure in this Stargate setting. With that in mind, if you believe we've flubbed and crossed an implied line or actual law, please reach out to lookpastit[at]gmail[dot]com and let us know immediately! A person will know what to do with the [at] and [dot].
BOTTOM LINE: Gate Nexus (GN) is a fan-fiction because it's based on copyrighted materials, but yes, it's legal because (a) it is created for educational entertainment, not profit, (b) it expands on the copyrighted material with new perspectives of the copyrighted material, rather than regurgitating the copyrighted material, and (c) it has all new material that was never in the copyrighted material.
lookpastit.com is an independently-owned and operated arts, education, and entertainment, Think Tank site, and is not affiliated with StudioCanal, Amazon-MGM, nor any of the channels that the original trademarked materials were broadcast upon. No infringement of copyright is intended! As such, IF infringement is suspected, we formally and publicly request the opportunity to make reasonable adjustments without ceasing our Gate Nexus project.
We formally and publicly acknowledge that "Stargate," "Stargate SG-1," "Stargate Atlantis," "Stargate Universe", "Stargate Ark of Truth", "Stargate Continuum", and "Stargate Origins", the characters, places, plot-lines, etc., from the films, television, and webisode series are STILL copyrighted trademarks of StudioCanal (Original Film), and Amazon-MGM (the rest of the Stargate Franchise). Our FREE webisode/episodes are not meant to, in anyway, shape, or form, infringe on the Copyrights of the Trademarks set forth by StudioCanal and MGM and Amazon.
Bottom Line:
1) We begin on an obvious Ancients-tech base that is clearly similar to Atlantis, with striking fundamental differences that make it obvious it's not Atlantis, and was never mentioned in the franchise because we made it up. Its history, reason for being, role it will play in the GN series, discoveries, etc., we made it all up.
2) We begin with characters never mentioned in the franchise, because we made them up too, both in honor of the traditional SG-team "loose 4 stars + supporting (stars) format" and in our own twist that aims at open full-representation.
3) We reference franchise events and characters in the episodes as "I heard..." so that even our characters have plausible deniability that they are in any way associated with THAT Stargate program (franchise.) This also just amuses us greatly in the experience of their grand-plot line and reality we're playing in.
4) Although we are using familiar tech references such as (but not limited to) the DHD (dial home device,) we've invented new ways to use it, and new problems to have as such, exploring these instead of Franchise-established story-arcs even in the tech.
5) Likewise, we make references to known Franchise-established cultures, and while we keep with Franchise established lore for all of them, we are immediately deviating into a new perspective of all of them, revealed through out the show. In part, this is also our tie-in with soft-disclosures about consciousness, energy, frequency, and vibration. (Which is some Reality Re-Explained! stuff.)
6) We are absolutely offering possible endings for some of the Franchise's loose-ends, but we are doing so in a manner that is distinctly only a possible reality, though also pointedly not necessarily an alternate reality.
Of course, we always hold out hope one day the idea could become a part of the official Franchise, but we're writing it so that it stands alone as a legal fan-fiction too.
