Useful link for those writing Sheppard?

In the course of doing research for an original novel I'm writing, I stumbled across this: Dictionary of Antarctic Slang. As the name says, it's an assortment of slang used by people stationed in Antarctica, mostly acronyms and terms for various places. I thought it might be useful for anyone writing about Sheppard's time in the Antarctic.

Ha! Cool. Sometimes I'm still suprised by what you can find on the net ;-D

I don't know how I ever did research before the Internet ... (Well, no. I do remember. Lots and lots of time in the library!)

Hehehe, I know! Back in my days when a teacher assigned a paper we had to work for it, not wave a mouse around like these young 'uns now-a-days! *waves cane*

Thanks for the link, it could prove useful sometime.

I'm going to add the link to my website as I have a Sites for Fanfic Writer's page in the 'General Info page under Atlantis (which is separate from my Atlantis links page)!!

If you come across any more useful links, I'm all ears!

I know that [livejournal.com profile] kristen999 had some good links for writing about Sheppard's military career a little while back -- did you get those? I'm at work so I don't have all of my bookmarks handy, though.

Not sure - I'll go surf her LJ and see if I can find the post to double-check.

Thanks.
