Take a fandom set in a place you're not from, and write an AU set in the place you are from.

So I'm from England, but I live in NZ, and I find it easier to do this for NZ.

1) NCIS

• • Gibbs would be a country boy, probably from Southland. He would have done some peace keeping work, and maybe some work forthe British SAS, therefore think he's a badass.
  • Tony would be a JAFFA complete with the UoA education, he would have gotten halfway through his BA/BLLB conjoint beforerealising law was boring.  He would have a flat with three other Uni buddies, who would all be growing up except him. He'd have aslew of girls, who never stick around.  
  • Ducky would get 'bleening Pom' jokes all the time, and have a swanky house.  
  • McGee would be a boy from somewhere like Tauranga who went to Otago for Uni, but much to Tony's disappointment never went toa party there. He would live in a co-ed group, and a whole episode would have Tony trying to hook up with McGee's hot female flatmate.  
  • Abby, would probably work for the Metropolitan Police Dept. so Gibbs would be BFF's with her to get her services. Her skirt would beshorter. 
  • Kate would have just come back from her big OE and suddenly too fast paced for Auckland, she would get frustrated with Britomart Train Stations silly systems.  
  • Ziva would be flashy import, who everyone is a little racist too. She would screw up with Maori stuff, and after accidently wearingshoes in a Marae, would go overboard with Tapu. She probably wouldn't be Israeli, maybe South African. She'd also be way too sercurity conscious. 
  • They'd have a room in the Navy Base, because the Navy is very small. They'd mostly investigate drunkdriving, unauthorized absences, and sexual assault.
  • At the end of every episode, Gibbs and Fornell (who works for Auckland Metropolitan Police) would sit on Gibbs' veranda with a beer,and say "Yeah,Nah." 

2) Pan Am

• • They'd be based in Auckland. Because I think it was the only place with an international airport in the 1960's.
  • The four girls would live in a little villa, in Onehanga (and original suburb).
  • Laura and Kate would be from somewhere like New Plymouth, and therefore rather bewildered by the 'Big Smoke'.
  • Bridget would still be British, and have an air of sophistication about her, which Maggie hates, but the others in an awe of.She'd refer to NZ as 'the colonies'
  • Maggie, would be brash Australian, who everyone makes fun of her 'convict origins'.
  • Sanjeev would be a Samoan.
  • Colette would be French Polynesian, and viewed as exotic. She would have a lot of men. She would also be orphaned. 
  • Dean would be from the South. Like rural Otago. So he would be in awe of the big machines. 
  • Ted would have been raised in Auckland and considered himself better. 
  • They would mostly fly to Aussie and the Pacific Islands.
  • The girls would be lamenting about the lack of civilized men. 
  • Sanjeev (who would be called Sione) would encounter racism and over stayer taunts.
  • Colette would throw awesome parties, and the country boy would fall for the Island Princess. 
  • And the last scene 1964 would take place on mission Bay, with a cheap bottle on champers. 
  • Also, the uniforms would be uglier.
  • And passangers would always accuse them of being Aussie or English based on where they went. It would be a running gagthat  nobody knows where NZ is. 

I had way too much fun with this.  This entry was originally posted at http://alidiabin.dreamwidth.org/246885.html. Please comment there using OpenID.
