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

this is really hard given the painful lack of female characters on SGA

Bearing in mind that I have decided someday in the future Willow and Xander end up together because that's my damn story and I'm sticking to it and I hated Wesley/Fred because she was so not cool enough for him, and I really didn't like the Buffy/Spike story very much and I'm not fond of Teyla/Ronon either

And omg, now I'm imagining Shep/Weir in that wishverse and my brain went boom.

Woah.

[havocthecat]

Ooh. So many AUs! So little time! Will you beat me if I ask for SGA in ancient Rome fic? ETA: AU. Fic. You know what I meant!

[miera_c]

Are we all really jonesing for some Ancient Rome AU fics apparently? ;)

[havocthecat]

I guess so! (timeboundpythia writes really awesome ancient Greece and ancient Rome related reincarnation fics for SGA.)

Hmmn. Enterprise in the American Colonial era.

[miera_c]

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. :(

[sache8]

*sigh* Oh well. It did get me in a Malcolm/Hoshi mood, though, and I found a tolerably good fic to read while I eat my I-hate-being-a-woman munchies. So... not a total loss. ;-)

I guess I don't really stop and think about ethnicities in these historical AUs so much as characters. This might be the fault of Denzel Washington playing a Spanish prince in Much Ado About Nothing. ;-)

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

I could've worked around the Travis thing somehow but I know Japan was closed to all foreigners until the mid-1800s and that's tripping me up. And Hoshi is one of my favorite characters on the show! *sob*

Malcolm/Hoshi FTW! Did you ever read my M/H stuff? It's not online any more, of course...

Gateverse in Ancient Greece. Troy if you can work.

How about SGA characters/personalities transplanted into a sweet workplace sitcom setting? (Sue me, I have become filled with Miss Guided love, just in time for my observation to collapse its indeterminate renewal/cancellation waveform and make sure it never returns to TV...)

[miera_c]

I'm trying to remember the last sitcom I watched regularly.

It might be "Sports Night."

(Me and sitcoms don't go well together in general. Though everyone keeps telling me I should watch "Scrubs.")

[havocthecat]

Scrubs is surprisingly awesome for a sitcom. I actually enjoy it, and I loathe most sitcoms.

[ice_wolf_loki]

Sometimes I get the feeling Scrubs is a drama that masquerades as a SitCome or the other way round not sure kind of like MASH
