Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages, log on to view the one, the only "UNAS", the Unofficial Net Archives of Stargate, and its one and only "Songs of the Chaapa'ai"!

Yes, that's right! "Songs of the Chaapa'ai"! You might have seen it before on Netherweb. But now it's new and improved, and run by more than just me!!! I've "recruited" Rowan and Brenda as partners!! (Brenda has done a fantastic job with the new web design <take a bow, Brenda!>; the original site was based exclusively on Frontpage templates!)

Now if I can just serenade you for a moment. Ahem, key of "C" please <mmmmmmm> Here goes:

Theme Song for the
Songs of the Chaapa'ai
based on "Sounds of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkel

Hello Stargate fans, my friends!
I've come to chat with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains.
It's called the Songs of the Chaapa'ai.

My restless filks I shared with few;
A narrow net of friends like you.
We laughed together - then it all was done.
I made a web page - it was shared with none.
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a new web site.
It seemed so right!
And sparked the Songs of the Chaapa'ai.

And in this dreaming light I saw
One thousand people maybe more -
People chatting without talking;
People listening without hearing;
People writing songs that here they'd come to share
With friends who cared
About the Songs of the Chaapa'ai.

"Friends," say I, "You surely know
Fandom like a flower grows.
I'll share my filks that they might reach you.
So you'll share yours, of this I beseech you."
Let the vision like a Stargate travel wide,
And build into the Songs of the Chaapa'ai.

Filks of people who bowed and prayed
To the Goa'uld gods, self-made;
Or the gateroom flashing its warnings,
"An unauthorized wormhole is forming"
And the glyphs said
"The words of the prophets are
Written on the Ha'tak walls
And pyramid halls,
And whispered in the Songs of the Chaapa'ai"

That's right! We're looking for a few good filkers to join us in this endeavor! Just go to http://www.u-n-a-s.com, (NOTE: this link does not work, for some reason. See subsequent post/reply for a link that works, or type in the address as shown here. Sorry!) then select "Songs of the Chaapa'ai" to view what's already there. A submission form is available for your own filks.
 
HI, I enjoyed the site and loved the picture of Chakka on the front page! I had to access the site from the net as I could not reach it from the addy in your posts....DARN! So people we will have to use the http://www.u-n-a-s.com in the long form not through the addys above! DRAT!
 
SoC

We're stilling killing 'Code Bugs'. They're like replicators, just a bit more tenacious.:dead:
 
I'm not sure what happened with my link, and can't seem to fix it by editing the original post! :( However, jsc's link, above, DOES work!

Sorry!
 
Filks

Come on, Guys and Gals... write something! You can't expect Debra and I do fill the whole site, can you?

You can?

ARRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!:(
 
Filkers wanted!!

To quote Jack: "You go girl!"

Rowan's right! We need filkers!!

Give us the few, the proud, the filk!

The "Sounds of Silence" might be the basis for our theme song, but it doesn't mean we want a silent sight!

"Sing it loud! Sing it clear! We can listen as long as we hear!" Or something like that....:rolly2:
