Top 5 Meme (Fandom Edition):

1. Ask me for a top five list, but it has to be fandom-related. Like, top 5 favorite Jim/Pam moments (don't ask me that, because I don't have any and would have to steal them from Sloane). Top 5... okay, so, I suck at picking examples! BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. IT MUST BE FANDOM-RELATED.
2. I will answer you.
3. That's pretty much it. Share this meme!

did you ever read my Pretender AU? Of course, it might have been just that you thought it was TERRIBLE, but I thought the question beared asking.

I thought I hadn't - but I just checked it again, and yes, I did. I must have just gotten way-laid before commenting. It certainly wasn't terrible. It was quite likeable - and you know, it's always a pleasure to read your Miss Parker. But I think the scenario just seemed to go over my head. I mean - I get that they were spies, but why? I felt like there was something I was supposed to get, but didn't. As an AU for the Pretender gang, I guess it just didn't appeal to me. I like them better in the fleet. *g*

Which brings us back to "what makes a great crossover," I think. A crossover takes the characters we know and puts them in a new situation, but an AU changes important things about them - their background or their decisions or something that's central to who they are, and so they can never be those exact characters that we love. I suppose that's why I like AUs, but I LOVE crossovers.

You could be right... SGA is rife with AUs. Some of them work, a lot of them don't. And all too often I think, this is a good story but these aren't the characters I fell in love with.

I think your Miss P worked in that scenario - but Jarod loses something of his wide-eyed innocence when he's working for the government. I don't know... Curious.

And are we on for Wednesday? *g*

We are, yes! You must tell me what time is good - I usually finish training at five, so anytime after that.
