I stole this from [livejournal.com profile] daygloparker here

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!

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.
