The Hypothetical AU Meme: Take any one of the fandoms you know I write in, and give me a type of AU (space opera AU, pirate AU, superhero AU, Ancient Rome, Regency England, etc). I will then explain what story from your chosen fandom I would write for your chosen type of AU.I only have written fic for Enterprise, SGA and

Hmmn. Enterprise in the American Colonial era.

Hrm. I can't come up with any way to do this, since there would not be any Japanese people in the country at the time, let alone a Japanese woman on her own. Also Travis would almost certainly be a slave. :(

EDIT: Mely points out he could have had some Moorish blood. Pfft. Figures she'd blast holes into my stellar example, even if it was a long-shot sort of hole... darn her!! LOL
