Don't Over-Think it

(AU where Ben and Leslie are doctors and the parks department works in a hospital. ...Putting parks into the plot of a tv show called Offspring, basically.)

I must concede that I am an absolute sucker for hospital fic, that and Parks? Winner!
I love how much this resembles Offspring and im intrigued as to where you take this.
I should note though, no matter how much i adore Asher Jessie and Eddie Perfect, I can't bring myself to watch any more episodes beyond the first! I have such an irrational dislike of Australian scripted television!
Cant wait to read more!

Damn autocorrect! Asher Keddie!

[gimmeaspinbaby]

Haha I feel you with the auto-correct, man.
(...But also, I wasn't going to continue this?) (...Whoops.)
But thanks for saying that it resembles offspring! That's a major compliment, and you should totally keep watching, because it's honestly gets so good- and I don't watch any other aussie scripted shows, either, but Offspring just stole my heart because wow Nina/Asher Keddie = Leslie at least a little bit in my head.
Anyway, thanks, I'm glad you liked it!

[greenshouse]

Oh trust me I've tried watching it! (mainly for Eddie) but i just can't. Watching greys was easier than watching offspring! However, if you do go on to write more, i could be persuaded otherwise... ;)

Seriously, Nina does remind me of pre-Ben Leslie so this is seriously wonderful in the parks universe!

Haaaaang on a second. Offspring? Do we have another Aussie???

I watched the first season with my mum, but moved away before the second season... was it any good? I don't know if I would have watched it anyway because I think they took away the sexy doctor from season 1, is this true? Such a travesty.

I'm actually from nz, so... yeah, basically an aussie, I suppose. (You guys were happy to consider us australians in the olympics to join our medal tallys together, so I'll say yes.)

Also I'm totally biased because I love Offspring a ridiculous amount, but even after Chris Havel (sexy doctor/equivalent of Mark in parks) left it's still so good

they replaced him with a moody anesthesiologist who Nina hates at first, and that just lead me to think of this in the first place, and UGH.

[greenshouse]

Wait. We were happy to join medal tallys together?! I just thought the memes showed us crying over silvers and NZ beaming over Bronze?!

BUT MAN that was humiliating!

[gimmeaspinbaby]

You guys sure were happy to join tallys when we were beating you, haha

That, and when we were tenth, one of your news channels didn't read out our rank because of jealousy.

(Something I know because that made news here.)

Woah I remember that band! Maybe I am a 90's kid after all!

[stars_inthe_sky]

Wow, that was like a gloriously awkward iteration of Grey's Anatomy. I approve!

[americnxidiot]

Exactly this.

It wasn't really very ER, which is my hospital show of choice, and I know not of this Offspring of which you speak, but this was cute. I like that sort of abbreviated style you have going on - it would be interested to see it in a deleted scene or something like that as well. Thanks for posting!

Thank-you! I'm getting quite a few comments about how my writing's abbreviated and understated, so... Thank-you all for picking up on that, because it's hard for me to really tell.
