Hey Agentrobot. This is ElsaRules!!! I'm primarily a contributor over at the Warehouse 13 Artifact Database wiki. I have a question, which I was going to ask the Admin Anubis, but he doesn't appear to be around at the moment, and you seem to have a good grasp of the Stargate universe.

I'm not sure how familiar you are with Warehouse 13, but just in case you aren't, it's an old SyFy show (Aired around the time of SGU) where Secret Service agents stationed at a Warehouse in the middle of South Dakota have to travel around the world collecting objects imbued with supernatural abilities called "Artifacts". The artifacts have various properties and origins, and they're stored in the Warehouse to keep them away from the public.

Recently, I had an idea to make the Stargate prop from SG-1 an artifact, which one of my Admins agreed would be cool. The original idea is that it linked to a parallel universe in which both of the shows (Stargate and Warehouse 13) exist, caused by some spatial anomaly in that universe causing it to dial across the universe into our WH one, and the emotions of the producers at the time of filming a scene brought the artifact to be. However, another one of my Admins shot down the idea, because he dislikes the idea of "bringing shows to life" and removing it from fiction and placing it as fact.

My trouble is, is that I've been unable to come up with a new effect for this artifact. I mean, travel to other worlds is the biggest point of the Stargate, and it's been difficult to get out of that perspective to change the effects to something that might be approved of. We have made artifacts from fandoms before, but the effects are usually based on the show's biggest point. One idea I had previously adapted was for the show Ben 10. The original idea I had was that it transformed you into the different aliens in the Omnitrix, but again, the same Admin shot it down because it defictionalized the show. So, the effects were changed so that it merely gives the user the abilities of the selected alien. But it doesn't really translate into this artifact very well.

I was wondering if you could assist me in coming up with another idea. It doesn't have to be the Stargate prop, I suppose, if that can't work. But I definitely want to represent at least SG-1 in the Warehouse, preferably a prop that was used heavily that could become imbued with a property of its origin. If you can help, it would be appreciated. Thanks again! --ElsaRules!!! (talk) (Contribs) 21:57, April 20, 2017 (UTC)
