Wizard Force
is a fanfic by James Doyle, a Crossover between Wizards of Waverly Place and Stargate Atlantis, hosted by FanFiction.Net.
The story begins when Alex and Justin are recruited into Wizard Force, the ancient but of late largely-ceremonial military arm of the Wizards Council, with the promise of becoming full wizards upon completion of their tour. The story follows them as they participate in the Force's first (and quite possibly last) military engagement in space, in which they must combine with IOA forces (led by Colonel John Sheppard) in order to combat a group of Wraith who have been operating in the service of Ulysses Valenczak, a former member of the Wizards Council now bent on seizing power (both magical and political) for himself.
Will they prevail in spite of things going wrong at every turn? Read and find out.

Wizard Force provides examples of:
- Apocalypse How: Class X-2: All of Valenczak's accumulated power being sucked into a black hole triggers a subspace explosion that destroys several solar systems.
- Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: As per the Stargate mythos, Merlin was an Ancient. Among his accomplishments were creating the first human wizards.
- Big Damn Heroes: The Apollo arrives late in the Gandalf's second engagement with the Wraith to provide cover.
- The Bridge: A variation on the classic Star Trek theme, with The Captain's chair in the center, the First Officer's chair in front of an below it, and a number of multi-purpose workstations arranged beneath a semi-circular set of windows in the front.
- The Brigadier: Admiral Crumbs, who came out of retirement and took a sabbatical as headmaster of WizTech in order to oversee this mission.
- The Captain: Captain Warren Schiller of the Wizard Force ship Gandalf
- Cool Gate: The story features two Stargate sequences, the latter of which features Alex's first gate strip.
- Cool Starship: The WFS Gandalf, a Myrddin-class heavy cruiser, and the three Daedalus-class ships Daedalus, Apollo, and Sun Tzu
- Don't Call Me "Sir": Kovalchik delivers the "I work for a living" line.
- Expy: Captain Schiller is specifically intended to be Captain John Sheridan as a wizard.
- Fantastic Racism: Valenczak doesn't believe humans have any place in the wizard world, let alone the right to any authority.
- Gravity Master: Alex crushes several Wraith to a literal pulp by subjecting them to an intense gravity field.
- Hyperspeed EscapeJustin Russo: Setting a course for the hell out of Dodge, maximum hyperdrive.
- Large Ham: Valenczak. Lampshaded in the following line:"Dude," chuckled Alex, "You are making no kind of sense with your corny villain dialog!"
- Phlebotinum Breakdown: Both the Daedalus and the Gandalf experience Artificial Gravity failures after sustaining damage from attacks. The Wraith have also developed a magic jamming field that blocks sensors, communications, and teleportation.
- Space Fighter: Wizard Force has screamers, spectral fighters in which the pilot's aura rides while his body remains in a pod aboard the mothership.
- Stealth in Space: The Gandalf has a cloaking device, as does the puddle jumper the Daedalus is carrying.
- Teleportation: Both Earth and Wizard ships are equipped with both Asgard beam and ring transporters. Failing that, a teleport spell can be used at close range.
- Tim Taylor Technology: The hyperdrive can go much faster, and the cloak can be extended around another ship, with just a little bit more juice.
- We Can Rule Together: After realizing Alex poses a very real threat to him, Valenczak tries to entice her to join him in his conquest.
